2014 Color of the Year: Radiant Orchid
Pantone has announced the color of the year for 2014 - orchid! Purple is one of my least favorite colors, especially the lighter shades. That being said, here are some options to work into your wardrobe for the coming year.

Trend: Big Floral Print
I've been seeing big florals on several bloggers...and as fabulous as they look, I can't stop thinking how much it looks like my grandmother!!

What do you think of this trend? Do you have any big floral print in your wardrobe? I think the only way I could incorporate this would be in small amounts...perhaps in a scarf.

Cindy is looking for
clothes for week night happy hours with the girls and weekend date nights.
She prefers dresses or skirts, and her favorite color of the moment is coral. Lucky for her, she doesn't have a budget to stick to!

Style Me Chic: Bridesmaid Dresses
Patricia will be a bridesmaid at a beach wedding in September and is looking for dress options in pale pink. Since my maids will be wearing "petal pink" I had plenty of advice for her! She wants the dress to be a cocktail length and under $300. Since it will be on the beach, I wanted to keep the fabric light so that the girls aren't too warm, so chiffon was my first choice.
*Note the Levkoff color doesn't translate very well online, but it's a gorgeous color, as this is the color dresses my maids are wearing!

Shades of Yellow
One of my resolutions this year is to add more color to my wardrobe, starting with yellow. When I had blond hair (awful college phase), I never wore yellow because I didn't like (and still don't) the combo together. Now that I'm brunette, I really want to add that pop of color!

Style Me Chic: Black Tie Charity Event
Ann will be attending a black tie charity event in the coming weeks and is unsure what to wear. Since it is after work, she is wondering if it would be appropriate to wear a short dress and dress it up with jewelry/accessories/shoes. She isn't against wearing a long gown, she simply doesn't have anything in her closet and will need something quick.
My recommendation was that if she already has a short dress in her closet, it's absolutely ok to wear that and dress it up, since it is on a week night. However, if she prefers to wear a long gown, Rent the Runway is a great go-to when you're in a time crunch.

Style Me Chic: Office Holiday Party
Tara will be attending her office holiday party in a few weeks and is concerned about what to wear. She's just a few years out of college and typically dresses on the more suggestive side, but with this being her first year at the company, she doesn't want to make a bad impression. Her favorite stores are Bebe and Arden B and she must wear high heels, as she is only 5'0 tall. Budget for a complete look is under $1000. I tried to keep true to her style, while complying with the dress code. Click any photo for more information.

Trend: Cutout Dresses
I've seen these nearly everywhere this summer, and while I wasn't originally on board, they are growing on me. Besides the unique styling, they provide some fabulous natural AC, which is gladly welcomed in this heat!! What do you think? Do you have any of these frocks?

Style Me Chic: Outdoor Wedding Guest
Reader Lisa wrote in looking for ideas for an outdoor wedding she'll be attending in a few weeks. She is concerned about the heat and humidity, so she is looking for something that will keep her cool, without being inappropriate for a wedding. Her other requests include the dress not be black (or white of course, it is a wedding!), and she likes patterns. Below are the ideas I sent her. Click any photo below for more information, or here for the polka dot dress.
