Think pink, when thinking of fashion

For a few days the weather in the pacific northwest has been exceptionally warm. Temperatures showed 20 Celsius (in Fahrenheit it would be .. hmm ..). Hot conditions require measured wardrobe. In Bellevue it is hard not to notice a lot of interesting and very stylish outfits.  Soon the Gucci boutique will be opened here. It will be located not surprisingly in a vicinity of Louis Vuitton.

I recently opted for a much more modest brand. A small, yellow handbag, purchased online and conveniently on sale, will match my summer wear. It is worth adding that, just like a significant part of the U.S. apparel products,  it was  made in China...

Now what should obligatorily be found in our refreshed summer wardrobe? I found an interesting list, which I think sums up quite well this year's summer trends .

According to the newspaper USA Today, we should certainly obtain fabrics with floral patterns, best if they are roses. 

They could even ornament buttons. Bold colors are the this season’s hit.  Look for pink - think pink, radiant orchid, orange, yellow. Striped fabrics are still in fashion, as well as the ones with ethnic motifs.

Metallic gold and silver accessories are also summer essentials.  As for shoes – mules are back. Jewelry or handbags should be embellished with a fringe. Imprints need to communicate a clear message, especially if its connected with the sport spirit.

Neither should men stay away from color. The author of Hot Summer Looks tips jokingly that colored suits does not mean navy and gray shades.

Once in a while, I enjoy looking around American stores. I usually go to the stores such as Forever 21, Banana Republic and GAP. In Seattle, there are also branches, more known in Europe, Zara and H&M. Some time ago, in one of the stores I noticed that on the tag, among other languages, the instructions were written in Polish. 

In the U.S., one should really pay attention to them. I have already managed to shrink some clothing items in our washing machine and dryer.

Let me finish with a puzzle. Maybe you, dear Readers, will recognize, in which very popular boutique we took the photos below?
