Why Did You Wear That: Everything’s Coming Up Roses

On a gorgeous NY day like today (82 degrees and about 536% humidity), I feel like we need a little brightening up of our wardrobes. One of the fastest ways to bring a little sunshine into your life is by dressing yourself in something floral. Flowers always make me think of warm weather, butterflies, and rainbows (okay, maybe not that much… but you get where I’m headed).  In a world full of black and grey, why not be you very own ray of sunshine?  Be sure to anchor your pretty pattern with solids. No need to overwhelm. Don’t want any weeds in your glorious garden.

Why Did You Wear That: In the Buff

Ever had one of those dreams where you are just wandering around totally naked and wake up in complete panic a la Kiki Dunst in Bring It On?

Well, I’m about to make those dreams come true… in a good way. If you recall, I was wild about the amount of nudes and neutrals that flooded the spring runways. Now that the heat is here and you’ve established your base tan (with use of a good self tanner, I hope!), it’s your turn to test out this trend.  When working with a blank palette, you can perk things up by accessorizing with punches of color whether it be showcasing a stunning pair of shoes or killer jewelry.

I’ve again done my due dilligence by digging up some of the sexiest ways to wear this season’s most naked trend:

Someone who did this trend early and knocked it out of the park was Kate Bosworth:

And how I wore mine (pretty ballsy to post myself after Kate, I know):

(for the record, my shoes were pretty sexual – though you cannot see them in this pic- and they may or may not have incoropated feathers).

As always, undergarments are essential. You don’t want your hot pink Hanky Panky’s peeking through seeing as the whole point is to be neutral. Now, strip down.
