Although I am a huge fan of color, there is nothing sharper than a black jumpsuit. Aside from the aesthetic appeal, black is suitable all year round making it a very practical wardrobe essential. Below are a few tips to effortlessly turn your dark pieces into summertime favorites.

Colorful Jewelry

Adorn your pantsuit with colorful jewels. In the featured look, I paired a bright turquoise necklace and ring with my jumpsuit. Not only did this brighten the look, but it gave the outfit a casual boho vibe. If turquoise doesn’t suit your fancy, coral is a great alternative.

Straw Accessories

Straw hats and purses, signify the summer. Whether you’re toting your beach wares or shading yourself from the UV rays, break out the straw goodies for June and July. The same rules apply with cork sole shoes and espadrilles.

Makeup

Although it is not as obvious as the tangible products you’re wearing, your makeup also contributes to the overall look. Keep the smokey eyes to a minimum and brighten your face with moonstone shadows and red lipstick (Dragon Girl is perfection). While you’re at it consider a red mani (Big Apple Red is my fav!)

Voila! Just like that I transformed this black jumpsuit into a summertime ensemble. I look forward to rocking this look during an art exhibition at the Jewish Contemporary Museum. Call Current Clothing (415) 400-5517 to order this piece before it sells out!

I have never met a woman who does not enjoy a pampering session now and then. Give your mom a hair day off and treat her to a blowout from her favorite salon. If you must include a tangible item, she’ll love the Bumble and bumble best sellers kit. Choose two-day shipping at checkout.

Along the same lines as haircare, if she’s a regular at the nail salon, surprise her with a gift card covering the cost of a mani/pedi plus the tip. If she’s a DIY kind of gal, consider an at home manicure kit or the new OPI New Orleans collection palette. Take advantage of free two-day shipping with Amazon Prime for such items.

Finally, if your mom is into hair and nails, chances are high she is also into makeup and cosmetics. Drop into your local Sephora and pick up a color gift set. Lipstick or lipgloss is always a safe bet, and the bareMinerals
Polished Pinks Mini Marvelous Moxie® Trio should do the trick. Happy Shopping!
