Somewhere between Slutty and Safe

I've been spending some of my time on the bachelorette party circuit. Between the pulsing beats and bad come on lines from the bachelor party across the way, I look around and see fashion mistake after mistake.


Let's be honest, nobody wants to dance on tables looking like their 3rd grade librarian; but you don't need to look like a street walker either. What to do???



Show off one asset, not all of them:


Have a great pair of legs? Don the mini dress that provides a bit more coverage on top. My favorite: String ruffle dress by Susana Monaco $244 http://www.shopverucasalt.com/





Friends envy your bust? Show those girls off. Wear a great top or dress that brings attention to your cleavage. Just don't skimp on the length. My favorite: V- Neck top by Frenzii $70 http://www.shopverucasalt.com




Slammin body overall? Go for that skin tight dress. Just make sure you're not showing too much cleavage and don't go too short. My favorite: Dots dress by Jully Kang $160 http://www.shopverucasalt.com/

Pull it Together



Some days it seems quite the feat to look like you spent more than 30 seconds in front of the mirror getting dressed. I had to walk the dog, the kids needed to get to school, I drank too much last night and didn't get out of bed till I was already late for brunch. Whatever your excuse may be, there is NO excuse for looking like a complete mess when you exit your front door. How do you pull it together?




The simple answer: Buy a scarf!




Scarves are our friends and they turn us from frumpy to fabulous. Dress up jeans and a basic white t-shirt with a colorful scarf in silk or cotton. Heading to the office? Throw on a silk scarf with your basic suit or dress to look polished and professional.




My favorites:


Steal- Renee's silk square scarf $34 http://www.shopverucasalt.com/


Spend- Hermes vintage silk twill scarf $295 http://www.hermes.com/
