4. Silk Shell 5.Tunic
I thought I’d share my Style for Hire, “Ask A Stylist” for Westfield Column, with you here on the blog.
Enjoy!
#1 – The Maxi Skirt
Nordstrom – Caslon Convertible Maxi Skirt, $48
This convertible maxi skirt from Nordstrom is an amazing staple, and it does double duty as both a skirt and a midi dress. Knot a silk blouse on top of this easy-to-wear piece for travel days, then add a metallic belt to highlight your waist and elevate your look for a fun night out with the girls.
#2 – The Cover-Up
LOFT – Woven Web Print Henley Swimsuit Cover Up, $49.50
If your trip includes some beach time, you’ll need some sort of cover-up. This Henley-style tunic from LOFT adds a little bit of prep style with the added bonus of color and print for visual interest. What makes it versatile? You can throw it on over your bikini at the beach, then tuck it into a pair of shorts for a day of sightseeing. Complete the look with a mix of bangles and a pair of espadrilles.
#3 – The Shell
JCPenney – Joe Fresh™ Silk Sleeveless Henley Top, $39
We can’t get enough of the JCPenney-Joe Fresh collaboration! This gorgeous silk shell is a flattering blue that’s perfect for your Caribbean destination. Leave the top few buttons undone to create a more defined v-neck to elongate your line. Pair it with the maxi skirt, pants or shorts during the day, then dress it up with a statement necklace for a glamorous nighttime look.
#4 – The Pant
Ann Taylor – Waterfront Print Pants, $98
Set out for vacation sightseeing in style! These mosaic print pants from Ann Taylor feature a wide trouser cut that elongates the leg, while the all-over pattern helps camouflage minor flaws and the wider waistband holds in your tummy. Wear these pants with raffia wedges for a casual vacation look, or go for a more polished look with heels in nude or a fun pop of color.
#5 – The Short
Banana Republic – Milly Collection Neon Short, $49.50
One essential for a warm weather vacation is a fabulous pair of shorts, like these from Milly for Banana Republic. Milly founder/designer Michelle Smith has joined forces with BR to create a fabulous capsule collection (with a very attractive price point.) The flat-front is flattering for most body types and the green and pink “Hamptons” colors are both fresh and modern.
