Green-ewal
Breathe fresh energy into your style and have it take center stage by adding a dose of green. Celebrate a special occasion in floor-sweeping gowns or babydoll mini silhouettes in striking shades of neon, mint, sage or emerald to complement your skintone. As Penelope’s transformation from eye-blurring yellow and orange to green represents independence, make your former wardrobe green with envy.
Pump Up the Volume
Balance your look with puffed sleeves that add volume, not bulk, to a top or dress. Not only does this style introduce romance (Bridgerton spoiler alert! Romance blooms between Colin and Penelope in season three), but it also leans into what’s trending this spring and summer. Choose a crop top or blouse from Forever 21 or Worthington, or a fit-&-flare dress to recreate this blooming style.
Embrace the Empire Waist
As seen on many of the women throughout this historical romance series, an empire waist dress is one of the most flattering and easy-to-wear styles. Fitted through the bodice with a loose, gathered skirt, add this high-waist design into rotation like a printed, sweetheart neck mini dress, or go for a more modest look in midi-length silhouettes. And don’t be scared of embellishments or patterns, because like Penelope, your prints will come.
Just the Trimmings
When you enter any room, the spotlight is always on you, because in the words of Lady Whistledown: “Diamonds aren’t the only gems that sparkle.” So, it’s essential to polish your look with accessories to match your shine. For a special occasion, pair chandelier earrings with a crystal cuff bracelet and an embroidered evening bag. And for those not-so-formal, but not casual events, tie your hair back with a satin bow and add a subtle touch of sparkle with embellished heels from Journee Collection.
Don’t Spill This Tea
Do you hear the clock chiming? That means it’s teatime. So, lay down an elegant covering to prepare the table with delicious treats your guests will love, like a tea tray food set. Or use your favorite recipes to bake up tasty cupcakes and cookies to place on Laura Ashley’s tiered cake stand. And an elegant tablescape wouldn’t be complete without a beautifully painted teapot and cups to serve a refreshing hot beverage…perhaps green tea? You get it. Until next time…
Yours Truly,
JCPenney
