Gwen — The Power of Black & White
Amazing Looks May Model Amazing Looks May Model Amazing Looks May Model

Gwen's Favorite Item: 
Black lace necklace with drop pendant, used as a bracelet. 

"It's super versatile because I can use it as necklace or a bracelet and it goes with everything.”

 

 

 


Gwen is wearing a classic example of just how powerful a combination of black and white can be when it comes to style. Bjorn chose this Nine West sheath-dress in black and white floral print cotton because the fit is so wonderful for women of many sizes and shapes. In this instance Gwen is petite, so the body-skimming silhouette gives her a longer and leaner look. The Charlotte Russe heels in silver give her a leg up in continuing the elongation of this look. A necklace used as a bracelet (style tip), and a black-drop pendant necklace adds a touch more drama. Gwen is ready for anything in this classy classic combination!  

 

From Goodwill:

  • Nine West cotton sheath dress - Black/white floral pattern – 4.99
  • Charlote Russe silver heels - 6.99
  • Black drop cameo necklace - 3.99
  • Black lace necklace with drop pendant (used as a bracelet)  - 1.99

Anna — Just the Right Print

Anna's Favorite Item: 
Off-white slides

"The color is perfect to go with any summer ensemble I put together.

 

 

 



Anna is ready for some summer sun in this stellar ensemble. This shirtwaist is a great wardrobe staple. Bjorn pulled out red accents in the paisley of this fabulous multi color print cotton dress made in Italy. Utilizing a red elastic belt to nip in her waist and a fabulous straw picture hat to frame her face, Anna looks every inch a movie star. Completing the look are turquoise dangle earrings, a cameo ring, a multi colored bracelet, and Anna’s own off-white leather slides. The straw shoulder bag, made in Mexico, is the ideal carry all for your magazines, sunglasses, and of course the wonderful red shawl, just in case the weather gets a little chilly. This is the right way to wear a print this summer, or any time for that matter.
