Weekly Start Off: No 14

Happy Monday, March 18, 2013 readers! I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! For this week's "Weekly Start Off" post I decided to turn my focus towards Milan fashion. Each one of the looks below are stylish and colorful. Either a bold pattern or a bold color is perfect for the spring.

1. I absolutely love this look. The patterned dress is from Dolce and Gabanna, the dress has a strong graphic pattern. The clear clutch is very popular at the moment. This look is perfect for an evening out. Don't be scared of wearing something that is extremely busy such as the dress above. Just be sure not to mix patterns if you are wearing separates. A loud top and a loud skirt is a fashion no no.

2. I love the idea of wearing lots of bracelets on one arm. It makes the overall look feel young and fresh. If you're going to wear a lot of bracelets on one arm, be sure that they are united in some way. For example, all the bracelets should have a certain pattern, or color that unites them. Here the bracelets all have some neon. Here's a more affordable version of the studded clutch, in a slightly different color and pattern.

3. I love the turquoise cut-outs of the top and the turquoise stone on the clutch. These two pieces work so beautifully together. Using one color to unite two pieces is a great idea. Even though the design of the clutch is different to the design of the top, the color unites them. Wear this top and pair it with this clutch.

4. How cute are these heels? I love the cut-outs and the bright purple color. A pump can make or break and outfit. If you decide to wear a statement shoe, be sure to keep the rest of the look simple. I think these heels would look cool as a high top sneaker. What do you think?
