Stylist Kate Young believes you should always push yourself a little out of your comfort zone. For me, that doesn't mean wearing that safe little dress forever. With a top and bottom, you have much more styling gear at your disposal. My ruffled blouse is from Paul&Joe, it was gathering dust in my closet but got to come out today. The floral shorts I bought in New York at J Crew and I suspect we will enjoy many more terraces and beaches together. The teal suede shoes with gold tips are from Alexander McQueen and I bought them after seeing them on Ilse Delange. Dark brown stockings from Wolford (impossible to ruin) to go with it, my petite Prada, an earring from Isabel Marant and one from CHANEL and the party is complete.
