Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered Spring 2018

While ultraviolet is the color of the year, a close cousin is lavender. This dress is really pretty and not so pastel that it doesn't look good on anyone. You could add a white belt and it would look elegant and summery.

This shade of ultra-violet is slightly brighter, but very yummy. Just be careful. If you have a lot of redness in your skin this color could conflict and you will want to avoid it.

Another example of ultra-violet. A slightly cooler version than the top (with the sparkles at the neckline) so the color is even more wearable.

This is exactly the shade of ultra-violet. It's lovely and looks good on quite a few people.

Handblown glass and Swarovski crystals -- fun and beautiful bracelet that will go with everything.

So glad you like it!

When you love rainbows but don't want them all over your body, this is the perfect solution.

Perfect way to play with rainbows for someone who has some boldness in her personality.

A more delicate rainbow on your wrist.

I love the vertical juxtaposed to the horizontal rainbows. Still soft and would also look great with jeans.

Very delicate rainbow. This woman looks washed out with the white top under it. If she had added a medium toned color from the rainbow it would work better.

A little more bold and definitely a more figure revealing top because it's so fitted. It is also the most expensive one.

Focusing more on the blues and purples, this modified rainbow is pretty. I love that the color right under her face (although this might not be true for everyone of these tops) is a pretty periwinkle--the most wearable color of all the ones in this rainbow. I would not wear that necklace with this top -- too heavy and doesn't really relate to the design.

Plus size

Comes in petite, regular and plus sizes

Plus size

A little higher contrast so generally better on someone who has more contrast in their features. Plus size

Plus size

This top is beautiful and you must have delicate coloring to pull it off so you don't fade away. If you aren't sure, don't wear it. Plus Size

Again, a delicate print in rich colors with high contrast. Unless this model has really dark hair, she will be overpowered in this print. Best one someone with dark hair. Plus size

This one, too, will look best on someone with delicate coloring BUT if it blends too much with your skin you will completely disappear.

Pretty -- even with the bit of yellow in it it's very wearable and the style is nicely fitted and not boxy. You could even add a black tank under it so a little shows at the neckline to intensify the color even a bit more.

So pretty and with a vintage vibe, but it is also very easy to feel washed out in these colors so be careful.

If you like delicate flowers but don't love to wear them all over your top, a pretty necklace like this could be the answer.

This top comes in a variety of floral designs and colors so definitely check it out if you like the style but not these colors. And the price is great.

If you rock red and yet still have a gentleness to your personality, this top is awesome. It skims the body and is so wearable. And the price is amazing!

Pretty color combination!

What a yummy print and the colors look great on this model. So if you have coloring like hers, check it out.

This top could be a bit tricky -- it might run short on some people. But the colors are lovely so it's worth a shot if it appeals to you.

Plus size

Another example of delicate design with rich colors. This will look good on a lot of people.

Pretty design with some contrast in the colors so it doesn't look too faded. Because of the higher neckline most people will prefer it sleeveless rather than with something over it.

Beautiful colors and not as muted/faded as the other dress above. Very romantic -- great for a summer wedding or garden party.

Pretty. Very flowy (not fitted). It has a lot going on so you'll either love it or hate it.

Love the vintage feel of the design with the sweetheart neckline. And yet the color combination is not too quiet. Will look great on someone with dark hair and light skin.

The same as the top above, but in regular sizes.

This design and color combination has an almost angelic feel to it. Not many people will look good in these soft colors, but if you do you'll be amazing.

Love this dress/tunic. Great piece for the summer.

Plus size

Pretty, romantic polka dot dress. It will run long so it's possible you'll have to have it shortened. And, because of all the ruffles on top it could be challenging to wear a sweater over it. Probably best with a wrap instead.

Fun tunic with understated dots.

Easy to wear (for those who can do black and white) and it's fun!

Such a pretty color and kind of fun sleeve detail.

When you love polka dots but don't want them on your body!

Plus size

Love this medium sized polka dot and love that it's navy. Plus the ruching on the side is very on trend and helps to round the hem which is very flatter on curvy bodies.

Plus size

Pretty summer dress!

Fabulous jumpsuit and you can easily add a cardigan or even a jacket over it.

Another feminine, romantic polka dot dress. Pretty for a daytime summer wedding or out with friends on a lovely summer evening.

Again, accessories can be a great way to give a nod to a trend without having it all over your body.

Plus size

Yes, it is mid-thigh. That's actually the length of most trench coats these days so it does get challenging with dresses. This one will look better with pants.

Love the detailing on this. Very flattering on a lot of bodies.

One more summery polka dot dress. Pretty!

Love these fun sleeves with the polka dots. Of course eating in them could be a challenge!

Pretty pleated skirt. It will generally look best with something tucked in unless the top is fitted and ends on the shorter side.

Plus size.

Love the reverse black/white polka dots. Pretty and summery.

Same as the first dress above but in regular sizes.

Plus size

Definitely for someone who has boldness and cheerfulness in their personality! But the design is great and very figure-flattering.

Same as plus size dress but in regular sizes.

Petite

Very soft, feminine version of a plaid shirt.

Plus size

Fun that the plaid is paired with bell sleeves. Definitely on the funky side.

A more traditional looking plaid but in a beautiful shade of blue.

Why not try a pair of plaid sneakers if you just want a hint of the trend.

A different take on plaid with a simple tunic in a pretty color.

Comes in sizes S to 5x

Very feminine, romantic and soft.

Pretty, soft color combination (but not so pastel that you'll completely fade away) and a very nice, open neckline.

This color is not always easy to find. Great on warmer skin/hair tones.

Pretty and love the soft bell sleeves.

These puffy sleeves are at the elbow rather than the shoulders. Although the interesting collar with the off-the-shoulder look is fun.

I like these sleeves even though they are full. The rest of the dress is simple and it will look great on someone who looks terrific in red and who has narrow shoulders--the design will help balance your hips. And, obviously, this design will only appeal to someone who has boldness in her personality.

A more subdued puffy sleeve. Can be good on someone with narrow and/or sloped shoulders.

Love this color and, again, the puff is somewhat subtle but will still add a little width and height and balance a fuller hip.

The slight puff to these sleeves will help to counter narrow or sloped shoulders. They also had a feminine touch if you like that.

These are funkier puffy sleeves. They still balance the hip, but they are not as romantic or feminine as more traditional puffy sleeves.

These are mostly added for drama. The good thing is that they are sheer so they don't look and feel as heavy as they could if they weren't.

Plus size

A little ruching at the waist can help distract the eye and camouflage any bumps.

Plus size

A little ruching at the waist along with the print helps disguise a fuller tummy.

Ruching on one side is decorative and creates a fun asymmetrical hem.

Again, pretty ruching on the sleeve creates a nice angle to the sleeves (even subtly like this one).

Ruching at the waist creates softness and helps define the waist.

Pretty, but I would do two things: slim the sleeves -- who wants to add that much width to their body. And, be careful about where the tie hits you. It's actually a bit low on this model and would look better slightly higher.

Love this print for someone who is bold, dynamic or passionate and who has vibrant cool coloring.

Comes in 6 colors.

Gives definition just above the waist so the fabric can float over the tummy. The tiered sleeves are fun with it as well.

This one ties up around the bustline so it will look best on someone with a smaller bust -- can even add a bit more fullness to the bustline if you are looking for that.

I have this top in olive green and really like it. It has an slit in the back so you'll want to wear a cami under it.

A more delicate tie at the front. Again, good on someone with a smaller bust -- the gathers at the bust will add fullness to the bustline. It's a bit low cut so you might want to wear a cami under it.

Beautiful print. The tie falls a bit lower than some of the others so it will depend on where it hits your body as to whether it creates curves or emphasizes a tummy.

Pretty and feminine. But this color will be tricky to wear for a lot of women.

Another delicate tie -- actually more on the side than the front, but it will create great waist definition and still float over the tummy.

Like the peach colored one above it has a slit down the back so you will probably want to wear a cami under it.

Love this print for someone who looks great in red-- having dark hair will be fabulous. The tie is not obvious because it gets lost a bit in the print, but that makes it intriguing as well.

Interesting design. This one could be tricky to wear, but the color is beautiful. Worth trying if it intrigues you.

Plus size

I ADORE this coat. It's a great color for me and the styling is glamorous.

A simple, casual rubberized raincoat.

You can't be sad if you wear this on a rainy day.

Also comes in two other colors including a muted periwinkle and white.

Very subtle asymmetrical neckline that mimics the diagonal line of the hem. Beautiful color!

Stunning color that looks good on a lot of women. There's a lot going on in this dress so you would have to enjoy the drama. And, hopefully it will fit better than it does on this model.

That could possibly work. It would be fun to play with it.

A straw floral bag is very on trend and this one is just plain fun!

Elegant, romantic and delicate. It will definitely be a conversation-starter.

This one is subtle and such a fun tote for the summer.

You can't help but smile when you carry this bag! Of course, it will only speak to someone whose inner beauty words are something like fun, playful, brightly spirited, etc.

So pretty and the deep red handles keep it from feeling too pastel. And, if you like the shape but aren't wild about the print there are two others from which to choose.

With transparent bags popular, this one offers a more subtle version. Definitely not an every day bag, but could be fun for someone who likes things that are unconventional.

Really fun when it's empty. I can't imagine what you would put in it that wouldn't detract from the design or that you'd want the world to see. And, the price tag is quite something!

This one is small enough that it isn't really obtrusive.

If you are going to wear one of these why not make it fun!

Or add a little glitz

Very simple and understated.

I love the slimness of this one.

It's nice to have an option that isn't black! This one is made of cork.

If you like one that is a little bigger. Still not loving the fact that it sits right on her tummy.

These are my faves! An unusual take on hoop earrings. The fact that they are not completely round makes them more wearable since not everyone can wear giant round circles on their ears. Click on the picture so you can go to the website where you can see them more clearly.

Big but not crazy big.

These are bigger, but I like the pretty sparkle on the ear.

Fringe is still in. This color is not everyone's friend, but this is a fun cardigan for someone who can wear this color (generally darker warm skin tones can wear it).

A great way to add fringe and make an elegant statement.

Or go a little more bohemian and add fringe on your ears. They also come in gold and are a really good price so you can experiment with the trend without breaking the bank.

This linen top could be a go-to for the summer months. It comes in 3 colors and looks great with white or black.

It isn't always easy to find a nice white cardigan in a simple design. This one is great. And, if it's too long, have it shortened.

Plus size

Also a stunning color that works on nearly everyone. Simple design with great 3/4sleeves and pretty neckline.

This color looks great on almost everyone -- especially since it has an open weave so your skin color shines through. Plus the lines are simple and the length is good. And it's a great price! It comes in 3 colors.

When a trend gets this exaggerated, leave it to the 17 year olds or make sure you have the dramatic attitude to match.

This is just plain ridiculous and the price tag makes no sense!

Drag color that looks good on about 5 people in the world.

If you want to carry an empty bag go for it. As soon as you put anything in it it will look messy.

The tie on this top is too low so it doesn't do anything to accentuate her curves.

When a top ties at the top of the hip like this you will look like a box -- just like the model does.

These colors make no sense together (plus they are really blah) and even the model looks frumpy and unbalanced. Plus all those ruffles just add width at the tummy and hips.

Whoever designed this hates women!

Big giant squares all over your body. They make you look wide, boxy and frumpy. This is a throwback to a bad look in the 80's.

Where do I start? Her shoulders are narrow and sloped and those giant sleeves (which are also too long) at her hip just add width to the hip and, in contrast, make her shoulders look more narrow and sloped. The length of the dress hits at the widest part of her leg and the dress doesn't fit right around her bustline. The only good part is the color (although it won't work on everyone).

This isn't horrible, but there are a lot of tops out there with ties at the bottom. If you have absolutely no waist and want to bypass that part of your body it can be good. Otherwise, it will make you look boxy.

The belt width at the seam is too wide and the amount of fabric tied at her waist is overwhelming. If you have a tummy it will make your tummy look much bigger. The ruffle on the sleeve is overkill and the sleeves are too long making everything look messy. Plus this color is super hard to wear and look good in.

Same thing with this top. The tie brings in too much fabric so it looks heavy at the waist. Plus the color is difficult to wear well and her sleeves stick out.

Too much going on! Either have the ruffle at the shoulder OR the tie at the waist, but not both. And whoever mixed these prints didn't know what they were doing. It doesn't work.

The diffused gray at the top doesn't work with the heavy black at the bottom. She just looks like she has this black blob around her mid-section.
