Diane Von Furstenberg SPRING 2012 RTW 

Diane, known for her wrap dresses; has now pulled a men inspired shirt look to the dress. What else to call it then the "SHIRT DRESS". It is the first of May so, the shirt dress basically has a collar, any type of statement collar will work. Usually known for its three quarter sleeve. Now, sleeveless due to the summer days coming our way. My three picks below

FISHTAIL SKIRTS AT JASON WU SS12

Many, say this look is a confused piece. Well, is it short or long?. Why have a short front and a long back? Often questions asked about this trend. Well, it should not be a confusing piece. It is, simply a different piece; that adds dimension to your usual skirt. Jason Wu, showed amazing prints and colors on the runway of this look. My Picks are just that as well; with one that is more business appropriate. The only thing I would recommend with this piece would be, to not wear it with a flat. The structure of the piece cuts off the body in a way, where more height elongates the silhouette and you!

PIECE OF ARTWORK

THE STRUCTURED DRESS

Back in 2011, Marchesa showed a collection which was amazing. The designers established in 2004 by Georgina Chapman and Karen Craig. When it comes to a gorgeous structured dresses, they know how to do it so beautifully. It is basically a form of architecture in the fashion world. Construction of a dress can make a woman look like a piece of art work. I know it's tough to maybe incorporate the structured look in your everyday life, but in can be worn in any piece of clothing; not just dresses. Shoulder pads are also a great example of how structure in a piece. I will soon be speaking about how shoulder pads are still so hot for the spring. It will soon be up in my staples for the season.
