Summer Fashions

This past Thursday I had the pleasure of attending Pulse Magazine’s Fashion Show at Talon Air at Republic Airport.  Timing is perfect, because to me, this is the best time of year for clothes. Spring and summer fashions always seem to me to have the best colors, styles, fabrics and let’s not forget the fabulous sandals. That’s a blog for another day.

What a fantastic event. The models were gorgeous as you would expect models to be, the music was amazing and the crowd was enthusiastic as ever to see the latest fashions.

"This is what I am buying when I am rich & famous"

Once the show started, bathing suits came out first. And they were a big hit!  There were one piece suits as well as bikinis. Each suit was prettier and more stylish than the next. As I looked at each of those suits I thought to myself, could a “real” woman wear that, and I have to say, for most of them, the answer was yes! (Here’s my secret for bathing suit season, self-tanner. It is amazing what a tan will do for you before you make your first appearance in a bathing suit.  I use Jergens Natural Glow and it really does work).

There were plenty of summer clothes. Lots of pretty shirts, open backs seem to be very in this year as well as asymmetrical hem lines for both women’s shirts and dresses. Initially I didn’t know if I liked that kind of hem line, but after seeing it on the models, I believe it is very flattering.

The summer dresses were flowing, graceful and exquisite. I happen to be a summer dress fanatic.  I scour the stores starting this time every year looking for the best dresses. Orange and mint green seem to be very popular colors this year (I have already bought some outfits in both these colors and love them).

After the show there was a lot of buzz among the crowd.  Everyone seemed to love the show. Love the clothes and of course, loved those models.

Can’t wait for my next show!
