Shorts rule for warm weather, and they even take on casual work places when worn with matching jackets.

Longer-length shorts -- a.k.a. bermudas, walking shorts, skimmers -- look best in a slim cut (beware cuffs: they add weight). Anything too full and knee-length will add lots of heft around the hips, where most women can least afford it. 

Make sure you don't ruin the casual-dress vibe of shorts with a shoe that's too dainty or dressy: a chunky platform, ballerina flat or simple thong sandal works better than a stiletto.

 Tiers & Ruffles

What would the girly girl do without her tiers and ruffles? Both are extra-feminine and do wonders to soften your look (great for dates, weddings, etc.)

Ruffles look best when strategically placed: stand-up ruffles around the neckline to accent the face, a vertical ruffled placket to make you look taller and slimmer or tiny layers of ruffles.

The tiered skirt or dress is a pretty way to add volume to the lower half of your silhouette without being too puffy. Look for fabrics that have a floaty feeling to keep the look light and airy.

Bows & Scarves

Be a super flirt this spring by choosing an oversized bow or a scarf tied into a soft bow.

Bows are popping up at the waist, the bust and the back in contrasting or monochromatic colors.

A large bow is esentially the same as sticking a sign on yourself that says Look at me, so make sure you've chosen bow placement to highlight your figure's high points (i.e. you wouldn't want to see a giant bow on a Pamela Anderson-sized bustline).

Color: The Neutrals

Nude, natural colors ruled the runway for spring. The softly muted palette is a great way to show off pretty details and tailoring.

Don't be tempted to brighten up neutrals with pops of bright color: if you need to lighten the look add white or just choose varying shades of nude.

Keep accessories light to echo the sensual look: natural wood and straw are two ideas.

Crochet & Lace

What's more sweetly romantic than a touch of crochet, lace or eyelet?

You don't have to go head-to-toe lace to get the look for yourself. Add a cardigan sweater in crochet over a delicate dress or pair a lace-trimmed white blouse with jeans. Mixing crochet and lace with more tailored pieces keep the look from being too sugary.

Lace is sexiest in neutrals -- white, ivory, black -- and tends to look cheap in colors. And remember that the sex appeal of peekaboo fabrics is lost if you show too much (like the picture, above). Wear a camisole to keep covered up. 

Color: Pure White

White is a perennial favorite for warm weather, especially when paired with navy or black.

While you may already own white jeans, shirts or shorts, look for newer all-white pieces like dresses or skirts. 

Warm leather tones for bags, shoes and belts give white a grounded look; try a touch of metallic with it, too (but just a touch -- metallics are starting to overstay their welcome.)

Color: Blues & Coral

The sea-themed colors continue with beautiful blues and coral.

The great thing about blue is how wearable and flattering the hue is; blue also mixes easily with white, khaki and other basics that you already own.

PS: To pay attention to fashion, whether men's or women's, is an important way through which we learn about world. So...just enjoy..
