Translucent
fabrics are
prone to snags,
so inspect the
garment
before you buy
it to make sure
it's unmarred.
As a rule,
tighter weaves\
are less likely
j
to tear.
Glossy
accents
Choose
accessories
that gleam with
understated
brilliance
rather than
steal the show.
The pastel
blues, greens,
and yellows
found in this
enamel
bracelet
enhance the
look of airy
clothing. Other
glassy pieces,
like this aqua
necklace or
the opaque
resin bracelets
(rear of photo),
are also perfect
