LESSON ONE: MATERIAL



Jersey knit and cotton are your friends.  Both are cool fabrics that will breathe.  They’re also easy to take care of in the laundry room.  Basics in these fabrics are a much for the fabulously fashionable girl--with or without sensitivities.  A white tee and jeans or jeanshorts is a classic option.  It never goes out of style and is appropriate in all casual situations.   Think Grace Kelly—or Rachael from Friends.  You can style this look any way you want, from a small colored bag (sporty) to a pair of oversized sunglasses and nice sandals (high fashion).

Jersey-knit dresses are an easy way to look glam without a lot of work.  Its one piece so you can just throw it on.  You can experiement in which style looks best on your body type: A-line, wrap dress, belted with a fuller, more bell-shaped skirt…the options are endless.  As are the colors and patterns available.  Oh, and the “knit” part?  Has nothing to do with wool.  The material is a great-feeling blend that’s light, smooth to the touch, and not at all itchy.  And you can get your hands on one of these babies virtually anywhere, at any price point, from Target to Nordstrom’s.
