Style Watch: Spring Summer 2014 ‘Sissi Must-Wear’ List

One of my goals this year is to schedule which style I will be tending towards for a season (I usually just go with the flow of what I feel like or what is there in front of me) and to recycle clothes I already own.  So I turned to the fashion runways to select two or three trends that I will strive to maintain for Spring and Summer 2014, mostly using clothes already in my closet.  I blogged on some trends HERE.

  • Item 1: Soft Pastels with contrasting belts and bright accessories.  Am in love with the simplicity and muted tone of the outfits with the occasional pop of color 🙂

  • Item 2: Whites with lace or metallic.  I’ll strive to wear more whites with studded accessories or just metallic accents.

  • Item 3: Keep it simple!! A dress with a belt and sandals, or pencil skirt with shirt…simple yet elegant 😉

Afrique et Fashion: Legend & Song @ Anthropologie

I was pleasantly surprised to see the Legend & Song line for Anthropologie as they offer Dutch Wax prints! Dutch wax is famous in Congo and I like the various styles proposed by Legend & Song (but am not crazy about the price nor the short length!)

My favorites below with corresponding links, all images courtesy of Anthropologie.  You can see the full line from Legend and Song HERE.
