Geographic Style Savvy, Part 2


Style can change drastically from region to region.  I love looking at the locals whenever I travel to really get a sense of the ever-changing trends in each city.  As promised, here are some more of my favorite cities to inspire your style! 

Washington D.C.
I love how women in the south dress because they tend to gravitate towards ultra feminine outfits.  The women adorn themselves with pearls and perfect sundresses, and they have the ability to look polished with the most simplistic pieces.  In the summer, D.C. gets unbearably humid, so it is important to choose an outfit that is fashionable yet functional for the weather.  Choose a dress with elegant flutter sleeves and feminine details, and pair it with sophisticated jewelry (the ring shown here is a subtle nod to traditional pearls).  Finish the look with yellow, woven flats and a coral carry all bag for a southern, refined look.


Boston
Boston, one of my favorite cities in the world, goes through many weather extremes.  The city experiences both below freezing winters and hot, humid summers.  To really get the most value out of your clothes, choose pieces that can easily transition from one season to another, such as a pleated maxi skirt in a saturated color (such as this teal).  This on trend piece can be worn with a bright blouse and lace up wedges for a great summer look, and can then be paired with boots, tights, and a sweater during the winter months.  Top off the look with a woven headband, no matter the season, for a bright and youthful look.


Chicago
Chicago is yet another city with extreme weather.  For a majority of the year, sunshine is almost nonexistent.  Take advantage of the warmer summer months and wear a neon dress to celebrate the presence of the sun.  To brighten up the look even more, add bright white flats, earrings, and bracelets.  Finish off the look with a beautiful, coral purse to really compliment the color of the dress.
