Winter Fashion 2005 Shimmers and Shines

Bohemian inspired velvet fashions are here

The romantic layered look continues into winter. Keep the camis in your closet – just add a flowing blouse embellished with sequins or rhinestones. Finish the look with a jacket, shrug or cape. Look for micro capes with a satin ribbon tie, shrugs or fur trimmed capes.

Velvet is everywhere and it is so soft. Enjoy looking and feeling good in velvet this season. Brocade and velvet jackets are stylish and luxurious. Jackets range from mini to full length, from voluminous to fitted. Try them all to find the fit that’s right for you. Suede and faux fur jackets are fun. Splurge on a velvet skirt this season. Look for one that’s long and tiered.
