Resort: Part 2

Softest shirts...

1. Weekend

James Perse Mini Jersey Jewel-Neck Tee: Purist. A simple tissue-thin tee, in a vibrant shade. Why wear white?

2. Day

Derek Lam High Neck Ruffle Blouse: Romantic. A frilly shirt in a gothic color: rich powdery grape silk. Add classic pumps, maybe even animal print.

3. Night

Anthropologie Vivi V-Neck: Sultry. The shade is subdued, but nothing else about this shirt is. And somehow, I like the interplay, though maybe it's too much all at once? I am leery of mixing styles, for the most part. One is drapey, the other is tailored (opposites of fabric metaphysics). A sharp pair of silver hoops is probably all you need. And kickass flat sandals.

It's funny, but these are all cool blue/violet shades. It's somehow a rethinking of the preppie aesthetic of blue shirt and beige khakis, but so much more... well, pretty. This is not, by the way, how the fashion industry is doing spring style for 2007. I am simply taking ONE trend (nude palette), and interpreting it as something I'd rather wear. It makes the hunting down of really interesting accessories really fun..........
