It’s finally warmer in LA so I’m able to wear this peplum fringe top paired with Jeans. Yes, every spring the stores start filling with cropped pants and all style of denim. This top and jeans will make you look fabulous, chic and casual.

This kind of top makes your waist look a little bigger, so the fitted jeans will help balance the body figure; unless if you have a slim, skinny body which will make any jeans work.

Many options for you on the bottoms, especially when you want to wear jeans. It will look good with any length of jeans such as Capri, cropped or even look pretty with a slim, lean shape. Boot cut and flared jeans will also look fantastic with this top.

Remember that cropped jeans should cover three fourths of your legs and can make your legs look longer and leaner; meanwhile skinny jeans emphasize your curves and look fabulous with high heels.

This fascinating below-the-knee cocktail dress was made by an Indonesian designer. Its fit and flare shape is a perfect blend of a pencil and mermaid maxi-skirt. It was made of mixed materials, with hip cutouts made of soft stretch mesh fabric to show off sexy curves. The eye catching prints are influenced by bold and bright Latin American designs, and a mix of floral and geometric arte de coastal style in vibrant black, white, red, yellow, and green colors.

I match the design and rich colors of the outfit with a pair of catchy platform heel shoes that provide comfort as well as beauty. I also add various red and black accessories to top off the most eye catching colors of the outfit.

The evening clutch purse made of ostrich black genuine feather is the perfect size for the necessities; such as wallet, cell phone, lipstick, powder, and mirror. And to enhance the Latina style I’m showcasing, I wear my hair loose and curly. Simply gorgeous. If you wear this marvelous Latina style cocktail dress to a party, you better be ready to receive compliments on how artfully radiant you look. No joke. 😉

Layer well and layer beautifully. This summer we will see a lot of great patterns and prints on different fabrics that are hot this season. Gingham is a checkered pattern that is really very similar with plaid but usually lighter and a cleaner pattern with brighter colors.

Who would have thought that gingham on gingham on stripe could look so effortlessly glamorous and dare we say sexy yet still elegant ? One of the hottest looks to come down the spring/summer runways this year is Gingham.

If you want to wear different patterns, you need to consider is the color of pattern (and sometimes the texture). Try to use harmonious colors and also pay attention to the size of patterns, the same size of design/pattern usually will look nice.

Take a gingham frilled skirt, add a stripe top, and there you go, you’ve got a trendy and unexpected work outfit that will have everyone buzzing about you 🙂 Wearing gingham is all you need to be point with the trends on this summer season. You can add additional styling your gingham skirt with some accessories; like a statement brooch and some designer high heels to complete your look 🙂
