Summer 2005 Sizzles with Sequins

Summer 2005 is full of “bling”—a buzzword used to describe the rhinestones, sequins and beads that adorn clothing, accessories and shoes. The glitz adds a romantic twist with a hint of retro 70s style for the season.

Bright Colors

Textured fabrics, whimsical floral printsTextured fabrics, whimsical floral prints, and sparkling sequins add interest and excitement to any outfit. A bold, vibrant palette of rich ocean turquoise, crisp salad greens and shades of golden and mango orange paired with beautiful pink lipstick are the colors to keep an eye out for.

Fun, Feminine Skirts

Nothing says summer like a skirt—a great way to keep you comfortable and cool. Ruffles, swing style, straight and narrow, or bohemian cuts are very feminine; choose the style that’s most flattering for you. You’ll also find them accented with embroidery, sequins and neat appliqués.
