Q
April is my birthday month.
What is the most fashionable
thing I can wear this summer?
Kersti Evans – Sacramento, CA
A
I know the thought of wearing
your basic tank and cut-off den-
im shorts comes to mind, but why not
dress up your wardrobe with pieces
that can be seen as effortless? A few
that come to mind are your traditional
khaki, flat-front shorts, the comfort
of a patterned, cotton sundress and
the femininity of a floral overlay lace
blouse.
Q
I’m an average woman with
curves. I’ve recently seen
an overwhelming trend of
stripes this season. How can I choose
the right pattern?
Marlene Araujo - Oakland, CA
A
This classic, yet traditional ward-
robe staple can truthfully be
worn with anything from your basic
office-inspired pencil skirt to a ca-
sual motif of a contrasting patterned
short; may I suggest starting with a
narrow strip pattern for a thinner
appearance.
Q
I love pastel colors, but don’t
know how to incorporate
them into my wardrobe. Any
suggestions?
Lindsay Porter – Brentwood, CA
A
Floral can be seen as a sort of ditsy
print with a wide color range of
pastel or bold palettes; wear it as a day
wear separate or as an entire ensemble.
Pastels are best complimented if worn
with neutrals such as a navy or beige
color scheme. If you’re not ready for a
floral print, integrate pastels as an acces-
sory such as a gold tone sandal or per-
haps a powder blue handbag.

T
he Working Girl Wardrobe was origi-
nally launched on Richinlovefashion.
com in July 2013 as a monthly feature. It will
continue here in Delta Living Magazine as a
quarterly feature with the intent of allowing
women of all ages, figures and financial char-
acter to explore, re-vision and refresh their
present work-wear attire. The vision, along
with insightful ideas, gives an enriched inspi-
ration to those in need of assistance.
With the spring season upon us, slipping
on a floral, lightweight, flirty dress comes to
mind. For some, perhaps separates in an array
of pastel hues or contrasting patterns make the
transition into this season’s trend. Regardless
of what the case may be, the right sense of
style can create a mood, a moment or com-
plete a story.
