Keeping the Tempo

Wednesday night I was invited to attend a fashion show and trend preview at Terese Zache with the ladies of TEMPO, an organization encouraging the advancement of women to executive positions in business, public service, academia and the arts. Terese, having just returned from a trip to New York City, showcased some of the hottest looks for spring, noting up and coming trends along the way. Members of TEMPO modeled the looks and received many cheers and whistles from the group as they strutted their stuff on the imprompto runway.


I was very excited about two particular looks for spring. The first was this all black ensemble by Iris, featuring high waisted pants and a cute bolero crop jacket. High waisted pants are making a comeback and I really love this pair with its crisp lines and tailoring. Paired with the cropped jacket, the dressy outfit could just as easily be dressed down with a fun bright colored top.


I also fell in love with this flirty silver wrap dress by Kay Unger. This dress, flattering to all body types, is perfectly cute with its fun polka dot print and full skirt. I believe dresses will be appropriate everywhere this spring, not just for special occasions. Designers are creating dresses that can be worn from running errands in the morning to informal dinners in the evening, a trend that I am loving!

The event was certainly a success, as I overheard many TEMPO members commenting that all their events should be this fun! There is something about a glass of wine and a small fashion show that puts everyone in a great mood! I'm now more excited than ever about all the spring fashion that we will start seeing in the stores in the next couple weeks and months!
