Simple Elegance

Simplicity Rules: The look right now is all about understated elegance – Max Azaria

Fashion forward stylists and designers continue to return to simple clean lines with varying touches of elegance. These touches may come from a belt, jewel, bag, shoe or cardigan.

The key to looking elegant – keep your selections simple but not understated. Your personality should still be evident in the choices that you make for your outfit. By adding a retro belt, bright bag, sky high stilettos, luxe jewel or vintage scarf your look will remain simple but still stylish.
