The news is worse every day. Whatever your politics, internationally, nationally, even locally, it’s tough to watch the news without feeling a knot in your stomach & a tear in your heart. At times like this, fashion may seem silly & superfluous—yet fashion makes a statement. What you wear tells the world about your attitude, your psyche, your strength.
FEMININE & FIERCE AT ONCE: Bold shoulders are a must for spring, b/w sheer wool dress from ameliatoro.com
As a result, the look is strong. Independent. Assertive. Big shoulders. Bold colors or black & white. Lots of layering, mixing traditional masculine & feminine looks. Blazers over slip dresses. Ruffles & bows with tailored pant suits. Red is the color of the moment. It signifies outrage, power, heart.
