    If you have it in you to brave the stores at sale time, there can be some great finds. However, you’re best bet for finding pieces that work right through Fall is on the web. You can easily pull together a look with designer pieces that will not break the bank. The key is to look for more classic pieces (not boring pieces), not ones that scream last year’s trend. The idea is to keep the dress simple yet sophisticated. The boots should be classy with modern detail. The bag should work with it all and accessories are the place to have fun. Go for it with a leather jacket in a color like red or tan. Pop on some bangles, earrings, and a playful hat. The look is sleek, with a vintage feel, sexy, with classic grounded pieces. The best part about it all, is that you’re left with articles of clothing that you can work into your wardrobe without hesitation. Happy hunting ladies!

  • what to wear to his Mother’s Day tea at school

    May 6th, 2008 · posted by Jean Vouté Pratt in $$ $$$ $$$$ Fendi Miu Miu Temple St. Clair Vera Wang accessories clothing designers dresses earrings handbags jewelry shoes

    Today’s the day, the day he gets to show off his mom to the world. The kids at school have been preparing for this celebration for over a week, and he can’t wait to share it with you. In his eyes it doesn’t really matter what you wear, but we think you should knock his socks off. After all, it’s a special day … A Mother’s Day Tea. Play up your feminine side, wear a dress or a skirt. He probably sees you in jeans or work clothes most of the time, so enhance your “tea party” look with the more feminine and dainty pieces from your wardrobe. A wrap dress in a pretty spring color, or a floral skirt will be sure to do the trick. Pair the look with patent pumps and shoulder bag to add some flair. The jewelry should either be delicate, or something he has given you or made for you. Stay away from anything too sexy, keep it elegant and appropriate. It’s your day, so enjoy being pampered, because tomorrow he’ll be back to shooting you with his water gun, and sticking goldfish up his nose. Happy Mother’s Day!!
