Perfectly Pleated

 There is something perfectly feminine about a long pleated skirt. it is soft, flowy, sophisticated and ladylike. This one by Maje is all of that and more. Its fiery ombre colors give it an edge. It is no secret that I a a huge fan of the cold shoulder top. Donna Karan was one of the first designers to embrace the exposed shoulder claiming that it is the one part of the woman's body that never ages. I own several versions of this top, but this one with its clean lines is timeless. My tried and true Chloe wedge pumps have seen me through many a garden party and barbeque since they don't run the risk of sinking into the lawn. They are the perfect compliment to this outfit since they are simple yet elegant. Now is the time to try a pleated skirt since it is trending into Spring, and you can purchase this one on sale. Perfect pleats could be your next big win.

If you are looking for a beautiful floral print, look no further than to Roberto Cavalli, who used it throughout his Fall and Spring collections. He is an artist in the truest sense of the word, and he really “gets” it when it comes to dressing a woman.

These lightweight pants, that I found during the Scoop NYC sale this past January, are from his Fall collection. Flattering, flowy and featherweight, the triple alliteration does these pants justice. Add a sheer black top, chic heels and a vibrant necklace and you’ve got a fashion happening.

And now a word about my bracelet: This vintage YSL cuff, a gift from a close friend, with its musical notes and JAZZ embossed letters is a true reflection of me. It is one of my all time favorite pieces.
