STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Time to Show Off Those Shoulders

Temperatures are rising, the smell of tanning oil dominates the air and the trips to the beach become a daily routine. Summer is finally here! Say goodbye to big scarves, raincoats, boots, winter coats and say hello to bikinis, shorts and summer dresses. My fellow Fashionistas/os don’t be afraid to purchase sunny summer dresses and strut the sidewalks with the latest sandals, because the hot sun has finally made an appearance.

What does hot weather make everyone desire? An outfit that will keep anyone fresh and beautiful. This Fashionista knew exactly what fashion garment would be most fitting. Why does anyone need sleeves this summer? A frilled off-the-shoulder dress is the number one trend going around this summer and our Fashionista knows this. It has the perfect length; not too high, not too low and not too tight. It flows perfectly. Who wouldn’t wear it? Ever since spring, the off-the-shoulder trend has made it’s come back and it is here to stay all summer. We definitely won’t complain!  Many different celebrities have been seen rocking the off-the-shoulder trend for this summer, from Duchess Kate Middleton to model Candice Swanepoel.

To accessorize the simple light blue off-the-shoulder dress, this Fashionista added a layered necklace that brings a pop of color to the monochromatic dress as well as a Longchamp tote bag to add all the essential items she needs for summer’s sunny days. Adding to the look are her ankle-high snake print sandals, which are a must-have for the summer. She gives the final touch to her look with some Dolce&Gabbana sunglasses that give her that diva attitude we all want! Of course, a little bit of blush and bronzer to brighten up her face. And remember, don’t be afraid to show off those shoulders!

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “What I love about off-shoulder dresses or shirts is that it’s always comfortable to wear, but you can still look classy and sexy as the same time. I love how any off-shoulder piece can be worn from a night-out to going to the beach.”
