JUNE/JULY 2013 MACON MAGAZINE I 33 use it as a sarong at the beach. Wrap it over your shoulders on the cool evenings, or use it as a belt. Choose a fun patterned scarf to spice up a solid shirt, or tie it on your bag to bring it into the season. A great fitting tunic: You can wear it over your bathing suit, or pair it with linen pants for a daytime outfit. Belt it over leggings, or dress it up with the right jewelry and some wedges! The possibilities are endless for tunics, so make sure to find one in a lightweight material that you can mix and match with different accessories, summer after summer. Printed pencil skirts: This longtime classic silhouette is now getting a makeover with lots of prints. Try a printed pencil skirt with a graphic tee for a dressed down look, or pair it with a pretty blouse to wear to the office. Colored denim: Colored denim is such a fun trend to incorporate into your summer wardrobe. You can pair it with a printed short-sleeved top, or a solid white v-neck tee. Try it with a chambray button up or a racerback tank. You can even pair it with your favorite animal print. Colored denim just provides a little extra summer kick to your wardrobe versus plain blue jeans.

There is a reason why prints are so popular in the summer. Summer Fashion Emergencies: Can you see me now? This is the time of year when you'll be wearing lots of white and lightweight fabrics. Don't get caught at the corporate barbeque in a see-through cotton sundress. Having a good selection of seamless, skin tone camisoles and slips is a must and will make life easier when you're in a hurry. Sometimes your garment isn't see-through until you are in the sunlight, so don't forget to double check. When you are buying clothes this summer, you might want to step out of the fitting room for a moment to check the opaqueness of the garment in a different lighting. Col. Mustard is here. If there is a time of year to keep a Tide pen handy, it is now. A makeup ring around the neck of your white top is not a good accessory. And a mustard stain on your white linen dress can ruin the picnic. One clue to keeping those whites looking extra white is to pick a fabric with a bit of a texture.
