ALL IN THE DETAILS: Golden Girl

I don’t know about you, but this summer has me glowing. From the weather, to the beach and of course from head to toe, Fashionista style. As a Leo, gold has to be my favorite tone to accessorize with, especially in the summertime where the sun has your skin glowin’ and the accessories golden.

Gold accessories are like Otterpops in the summertime; you gotta have them! This Fashionista caught my eye with her shining accessories paired with some fab bright shorts. This color is hot this summer—the bright not quite orange, not quite red and not quite pink but still quite perfect. Bright summer colors look even brighter when paired with gold, such as hot pink, red, orange, yellow, bright green and even black for those who like to stick to the classic color all year round. This simple outfit is a great way of beating the heat and looking great doing it. I know in Florence the humidity can take a fun outfit like this and turn it into a humid, confining death trap. Here are some suggestions for how to stay cool and look cool this summer.

How To: Want to recreate this look for yourself? Grab a pair of bright high-waisted shorts with a looser fit around the thighs to add dimension and keep you cool. To add some design detail and some air around your midsection, take the white button-up to the next level with a tie crop top. This cute, casual daytime style can go to a bright night style with just a change of shoes. Some chunky black and gold heels adds some flirt and ties in the gold accessories, two in one! The key to accessorizing is picking one tone and going for it, like this Fashionista did starting with her gold-plated belt. She used the one accessory color and brought it out in multiple places. Tie in the gold with a bracelet, earrings, shoes or a Prada satchel to keep some uniformity to the outfit. All-gold everything, right?
