You’re always busy and on the move, so why shouldn’t your clothes be? Nothing says high energy like dynamic pairings. A little shimmer here, a chevron stripe there, a frenetic tiny print or a feathery stiletto: Keep your style fresh and on the move with the unexpected touches.
dot, dot, dash!
Graphic black and white get a boost from form and function. A fitted sweater dress uses a black side panel to slenderize, while tiny dots add fun to a swing top.

over the rainbow
