Sunshiney goodness!

"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood a beautiful day for a neighbor..."

Ahh it finally feels like spring and all my spring fashions are cheering! Today I'm channeling the fashions from The Talented Mr. Ripley...one of my favorite summer fashion movies of all time! Light airy swirly skirts, espadrilles or huraches....crisp white blouses. Perfection! Not to mention it's set in Italy which automatically makes it chic, chic CHIC!

I love the ruffled placket on this blouse....it makes a fairly basic white shirt much more fun!

The pattern on the skirt I fell in love with when I first saw it...and the length as well, so retro...it has a watercolor painting vibe with an ethnic twist! I loves skirts (and pants for that matter) with a bit of a wild print...the more colors in them the more you can switch them up with different shirts and shoes and give them an entirely new feel. I also like the look of sofa or drapery fabric as pants or skirts....I think it comes from my love of The Sound Of Music ;)

I finished my wealthy socialite in 1950's Italy look with some strappy, strappy flat sandals and a clear plastic floral embossed bangle ...I felt like simple jewelry was the way to go!





I hope you and your fashions are enjoying the sun as much as I am...CIAO!
