Getting Lucky in May by Nicole Steinberg

 

The frothy prom-queen look is huge this summer.
Extra-white teeth and 24-karat sheen is so
posh-punk, plastic luxe. We’re crazy about a silk bib
with pegged pants and cheeky gingham. A big
ethnic cuff and fabulous top lovingly embroidered
with forest animals lend an ineffable sexiness.
Frequent napping does dewifying work—leaves
you authentically pepperminty and super-crisp.
A judicious smattering of sequins is a most unexpected
development on the utilitarian-chic front; zigzagging
patterns on a suggestively curvy form lend heat.
Whether you’re from India or Delaware, suck up
these tips and transform; be a pea-sized pixie with
a department store childhood of pearls and chandeliers.
