I was strolling up Rodeo Drive on Saturday when a couple of window displays caught my eye.
High-end designers are currently flogging a smattering of chic "looks" for women this spring and summer that run the gamut.
For example, at Valentino the stylists were offering up a collection of body-sheathing gowns in blood red, which were highlighted with elegant design flourishes such as delicately-crafted bows, pretty sashes, and delightful faux flowers.
Meanwhile, at Chanel, a cocktail dress with a bubble skirt (and matching sleeves crafted in exquisite black lace) was stopping traffic in the tony streets of Beverly Hills.
An opaque ultra-feminine see-through frock was also garnering a lot of attention from fashionistas passing by.
Very classy!
At Juicy Couture, management was pushing a bold two-piece suit ensemble in brilliant orange (which consisted of a short high-waisted jacket, short-shorts resting high on the leg, teamed with a nautically-inspired jersey with white and blue horizontal stripes).
Up the street, Ralph Lauren rustled up a take on a "flapper look" that was understated and elegant.
A weave purse, adorned with a clasp in a beautiful flower motif (carved in mother-of-pearl) rounded out the look.
But, it was the three-piece cream-colored suit (slightly popping with a blue pin stripe), which favored a suit jacket, short pants (cut above the knee) vest, chic dress shirt and silver tie (!) that spoke volumes.
This spring women are not going to be shrinking violets - especially when it comes to the Board room - folks!
Bottom line?
Anything goes, ladies, if you have the panache to pull it off.
Stay posted for fashion updates!
