Dressed to Entertain: Pretty Pleats

I have been obsessed with that yellow Carolina Herrera dress, shown above, since the very first time I spotted it. The bright color, paired with intricate origami-style pleats and an amethyst belt, is just perfect. I thought it would be fun to bring some of my favorite elements of that dress into an outfit that anyone can pull off. The skirt is definitely the focus of the outfit, but I particularly love the blouse. It has so much detailing while remaining as easy to wear as a t-shirt.  Of course, you can never go wrong with a little leopard to top it all off.

    Sara, I love yellows! And specifically, this dress and skirt!! The look is so much Cote d’Azur (French Riviera style):-)
    The bright sun and deep blue sky, and the yellow dresses – not only in the shops, but also on the people walking around…
    (It’s sales time right now in France and I can barely resist the temptation).

    In the meantime, Elle France just published in its last issue these new trends for summer 2013:
