 1.       High Dress Slits

Whether it’s a maxi or an evening gown, add a little spice to your dress with a high slit on either leg.

2.       Short Necklaces

We LOVE short necklaces! Try pairing yours with a plunging neckline for a dramatic effect.

3.       One-armed Dresses

Ah, the sweet combination of strapless and strapped dresses! These are definitely a choice for cocktail parties.

4.       Evocative Garments

We adore this trend because another thing that we love is dressing for a cause (the first garment below is upcycled and the other uses fashion as an aesthetic to raise awareness).

5.       Color Block Suits

We like how men have stepped up and stepped out in suit sets with color.  How do you feel about it?
