Hello Color: Ladies’ Fashion Turquoise

0

Gone are the days where white reigned supreme during the summer.  Today’s hottest fashions are far more bright and vibrant.  Taking a risk no longer means adding a splash of color – instead, summer fashion runs the rainbow, but we’re particularly taken with tantalizing turquoise.  From Zoe Saldana to Vanessa Hudgens, turquoise is everywhere.

Let’s be honest though: not everyone is comfortable in such a bright and bold hue.  It really draws the eye, especially its deeper tones. Never be afraid to make a statement with bold colors in your ladies fashion choices.  Not only are they fashionable, but turquoise hues look brilliant against slightly sun-kissed skin. Every fashionista should add this color to their wardrobe.  In fact, there are several different hues and shades which make it one of the most versatile of colors. Try the bold, satin turquoise for nightwear, like ClothesRUs’ junior’s fashion Pintuck Turqouise Party Dress, and a softer gentler hue for day attire.

Accessorizing is a breeze as well. The color is stunning against black, crisp and clean against white and gorgeous with jewel tones. Whether you couple a bright turquoise dress with a simple black belt or combine a vibrant turquoise top with a white scarf or cardi, changing it up is simple and in-style with turquoise.

Dress up your look with gold jewelry for a simply and elegant formal look.  Couple a cute top with skinny jeans and heels for a more versitile casual look.  Summer 2011 is not about the wallflower tradition — it’s about making a statement.

Little black dress? Been there, done that.  A vision white?  See ya!  The lady in red?  She looks even more stunning in turquoise.  Change things up this year and add a little bit of green to your palette. Simple, stunning, fashionable and versatile, turquoise may very well be the one ‘must have’ juniors clothing and women’s fashion color of  2011.

Mod It Up: 70’s Styles in Women’s Clothing

0

Summer 2011 means taking a trip down memory lane (for those of us who know what it means to be fashionable).  From the crazy colors of the 70’s to the frequently used peek-a-boo look, this summer’s styles are all about taking what was best about the styles of yesterday and making them current.  So, without further ado, the hottest trends in 2011, with a nod to the past, are:

1.     70’s Glam:  from colors that pop to the unique fabric choices of the 70’s, what’s in this summer is what was ‘in’ during the 70’s – without the horrible hair.  Choose over-the-top colors and stylized pieces to disco your way through the summer

2.     The Stripes Are Winning:  This summer, if it’s stripped, it is hot.  Choose bold, symmetrical stripes like ClothesRUs’ V-neck Vibrant Colored Tunic, or delicately designed

Plus Size V-Neck Vibrant Colored Tunpieces and pair them with simple whites or blacks. A free flowing stripped skirt and a simple white top will have you dancing in the streets.

3.     Denim:  Who would have thought that a fall fabric would make such summer splash?  This summer everything can be made out of denim.  Try a tunic jacket with a simple tank and skinny jeans to vamp it up.

4.     Peek-a-boo:  See-through fashion has appeared again.  Today’s hottest peek-a-boo women’s fashions and juniors fashions couple bold opaque pieces with a see-through top.  Add a bit of daring without taking it too far with this reincarnated fashion statement, such as ClothesRUs’ Junior Sheer Blouse.

5.     Funky Footwear:  no outfit is complete without fun shoes, and this summer’s hottest style is the jazzed-up espadrille.  Fun, funky platforms add a touch of style, a bit of class, and a ton of chic to any look from casual to formal.

Mod up your wardrobe this summer with a combination of vintage-look pieces and the latest designer pieces to always to a vision of taste and beauty.

That 70’s Look – Pleats and Tiers

0

by Cherrys Gavini

One of the hottest Spring-Summer looks is the 1970’s vintage fashion.  And this season’s vintage look can be recreated with ClothesRUs Pleats and Tiers.  Remember with any 70’s fashion the focus is on the waist.  So whether you are wearing a pleated shirt or a tiered dress, always draw attention to your waist.  The beautiful thing with pleated and tiered clothes clothing is that it is very forgiving with our mid section.  So this waist focus can be brought about by a wide belt scrunching your dress or your blouse accentuating your waist and camouflaging the rest with the pleats and tiers.

You can pull this look together with our Plus Size Earth Tone Swirl Blouse With Front Pleats.  And pair it up with some wide legged jeans and a few buttons undone giving off that sexy ‘70’s vibe, much like Selma Hayek’s pleated ensemble.

Or try our Missy Tiered Black Special Occasion Dress and pair it up with a contrasting wide belt keeping in mind the 70’s waist focus.  Pair it up with high heels, a long necklace, some shades for sun protection and a fun hobo bag and you get to pull off the this trendy look that the Sex and the City star, Jessica Parker is sporting.
