It’s Spring. Make a Statement!

It’s Spring. Make a Statement!

Octavia Boutique – The Village of Cross Keys

Consider adding a splash of color to your spring pallette. Leading the pack this season is primose yellow. @OctaviaBoutique displays the lemon-like hue in a laid-back blouse with layers of delicate gold chains and a#statementnecklace. I just can’t get enough of this color and it’s absolutely dynamite with denim!

A festival of florals canvased every runway for Spring. Forecast for the season shows #oversizedfloral placement and #watercolorprints. Trimmed in shimmer and shape, this #FrankLyman open shoulder dress spells e-l-e-g-a-n-c-e from head to toe.

Black and white resurfaces with #artisticvalue this season. It’s the #modernchoice and always chic. From polka dots, to grids and figure-flattering graphics, the contrast never goes out of style and easily pairs with a leopard print bag and red lip. #Graphicstyle dressing with this #statementpiece by #Heydari.

You’re gonna need a bigger jewelry box. As you decorate your décolleté this season, look for larger-than-life pieces as #statementjewelry takes a front seat to fashion @OctaviaBoutique in the @VIllageofCrossKeys. This optical illusion with a minimal twist stands out on a canvas of white stretch jersey by Simpli.

Show the world that it’s business as usual with this #closetstaple. Every woman, at every age, should own at least one #whiteshirt and make it a button down. #CleanandCrisp Prep out and layer it with a v-neck collegiate style cardigan and go ahead, pop that collar!

Kick start your spring wardrobe with a potent print. From flirty fabrics designed to fall off the shoulder to tailored and textured soft shoulder sportswear, these splashes of grandeur serve as a happy reminder that warm weather is here. Too bright for you? Tame the loudness with an underpinning of black lace and a strand of white pearls.

Talk about #statementjewelry. These clip-on earrings may only be worn once a year, but – rest assured -no one will forget to wish you the happiest of birthdays. #Cheers!

The season’s must-have jewelry trends include shimmer and shine in a series of metals. Complete your arsenal for 2017 with a cuff. Seen here in rose gold or gold plated with rhinestone stars by @BoyerNY. For a more sophisticated occasion, go Katherine Hepburn-style with freshwater pearls. Recent runway trends #makeitmodern to wear cuffs on the outside of your sleeves.

Call it cutting-edge fashion when the paint splatters on your @Cartis jeans this season. This deliberately #distresseddenim stands out in this crowd. Create your look by pulling solid colors from the paint palette. Wear an ivory knit top #aldomartins and mauve and fuschia print scarf, and top it all off with a casual go-anywhere raffia straw hat.

The power of accessories includes jewel-like clutches and strappy, sexy shoes in satin and suede. Choose the #hautecombo for you with a bag and a shoe. Or two. A little shimmer here and a tied tassel there; the finishes can make a huge difference. Be sure to try it all on before walking out the door.

#DIY Dressing with a #statementsleeve. Yes, @OctaviaBoutique carries the Elana Collection, a line of clothing where you are the designer. For the sophisticated woman, I love this navy ladylike classic knit dress. Choose your own exquisite embroidered #bellcutsleeve, then finish off the look with a classic pump.
