Designer Spotlight-Rachel by Rachel Roy

May 10, 2010 by Clueless Fashionista

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending a fashion show featuring the summer line, Rachel by Rachel Roy.  These clothes were very cute and prints was definitely the name of the game.  Her models were dressed in the cutest summer dresses, shorts and skirts. I saw some great ways that we can work on incorporating more prints into our wardrobe without overdoing it.

I must admit, I’m not a fan of prints.  I’m much more comfortable wearing brightly colored solids than prints, but I’m definitely open to making a change. A great print can really make an outfit pop. Check out these pictures of the models that were in the show.

This is a great way to participate in the legging trend in a way that is cute and comfortable.

I love this outfit because it combines two great prints and a lovely pop of color in a way that works. I also love it because I accidentally got a picture of a lady standing behind the model wearing the same dress with a solid cardigan and some neutral sandals and both ladies look wonderful. I also love that it inadvertently shows how this Rachel Roy dress can look great on different body types.

See how this purse pulls everything together? It goes wonderfully with both the dress and the jacket but it’s not too matchy matchy. Purses are a great way to pull an outfit together.

This look is a wonderful example in how adding accessories can really step things up, but you can be just as cute going more basic. For example, this cute dress and the sandals can stand completely on their own. If you want to wear it out to lunch or brunch, throw on the white sweater. If it’s a little chilly out, toss the scarf around your neck. If you are going out to dinner, take the sweater and scarf off and just go in the dress. Either way, you look great.

This is an easy outfit to copy.

I just love how easy, breezy this outfit is. You can easily throw on this great dress and these great sandals and walk out the door. No muss, no fuss, but you still look great.

I really enjoyed this line and the wonderful thing about it is that you can visit your local Macy’s and pick up one of the pieces.  If you aren’t familiar with Rachel Roy but want to learn more about her, visit her website www.rachelroy.com. Another awesome thing is that if you don’t live near a Macy’s or her line hasn’t made it to your city yet, you can purchase pieces directly from her website. If you decide to pick up a Rachel by Rachel Roy piece send me a picture of you wearing it and I will feature it on here.
