What first caught my eye about this gorgeous Celine number was its tangy tangerine colouring.

I also took note of the cut-out details that make an otherwise simple jersey dress turn total avant garde. Add to that a tie/buckle combination that makes the dress work appropriate for day and night, and you’ve got yourself an easy outfit that’s both versatile and vivacious.

Would you ladies wear a zesty colour like tangerine? Or do you think it should be reserved for warmer weather?

This patterned tunic is atypical of Missoni’s famous zigzag prints, but, if you look closely you can see it’s still their trademark, quality knitwear.

An update on pieces from the 60s and 70s, this M Missoni tunic fits like a glove, falls mid-thigh, and features flattering cap sleeves.

Add to the equation your favourite cigarette pants and a pair of knee-high boots, and you’ve got yourself a classic look with a contemporary twist.

I find that many women who attend holiday soirees choose to dress in safe colours, like black, red, –

Gold.

So I was thrilled when I came across this silk taffeta dress, discounted on J.Crew.com. Ballet-inspired with a front and back scoop-neck, a fitted bodice, and shirred skirt, this dress is absolutely darling.

I’m especially impressed with the hidden side pockets, affordable price tag, and eye-catching colours. Available in mandarin orange, burnished yellow, and a purple-y charcoal, you’ll be dressed to impressed — and to stand out — without breaking your budget.
