To know how to dress well this sea
son, you will want to see a lot of old
movies say those from the 19205, '3os
and 'sos.
Then imagine all this V-neck
dresses, cropped pants and soft femi
nine fabrics in Technicolor with vi
brant hues of pink, blue, coral and
yellow.
"It's sort of vintage-inspired propor
tions," said Stephanie Sherman, co
owner along with Carrie Arrouet of
Lela, in Milwaukee.
" Three-quarter length sleeves.
Cropped pants. Anything that looks
like a Coco Chanel jacket but in sher
bet colors," Sherman said.
In New York, designers sent mod
els strutting down the runway more
girlish than model churlish. The dress
is back in a big way. So is color. And
flowers. And ruffles. And ribbons.
And gauzy, soft, flowing fabric.
Yes, you might want to buy a slip.
In fact, Sherman highly recommends
it because dresses hang so much bet
ter with a slip underneath.
They've updated the classic look
with a short cropped jacket or a
shrunken cardigan. If you're going to
wear a blazer, skip the belt and tie a
vintage scarf or one of the very hot
satin cummerbunds around the
middle instead. Pair your favorite

A man went into a pharmacy in Mostar, Bosnia, just as it was
closing to buy some condoms. The pharmacist refused, saying he
would serve him only if it was an emergency. So the man pulled a
gun and demanded the condoms.
DOES THIS MEANS 'DESSERT' IS OFF?
A chef who has a TV cooking show in England playfully prepared
a roast at his home for his wife while in the nude. Unfortunately,
he got too close to the oven and burned his privates.

A Pennsylvania woman was jailed for putting on a strip show at
her teenage son's birthday party after becoming intoxicated on pills
and alcohol. The striptease was a last-minute thing, which came to
pass when plans for a go-cart ride fell through.

Dress up the feet in a strappy sandal
but note that this spring, the wispy
woman look gets some balance with
round-toed shoes perched on a sub
stantial, if high, heel.
Overall, there may be a classic feel
to spring fashion, but it's up to the
wearer to add a bit of edge. Sherman
suggests pairing a flowy lightweight
tunic over jeans and adding vintage
jewelry such as rhinestones or pearls.
Attach a brooch or ribbon to your
purse or T-shirt to update last year's
wardrobe.
Oh, and about jeans. They may be

Wetzel, whose shops include Faye's

in Mequon, Wis., and Faye's 1 and
Faye's 2 in Brookfield, Wis.
"It seems to be that it's getting safe
to pull up your underwear once again
because the rises are getting higher,"
Wetzel said.
In addition to playing with waist,
wash and color of jeans, designers are
helping us look better by positioning
pockets so that butts look slimmer and
higher. The washes on the fabric are
situated to make legs and thighs look
slimmer as well.

tance. What jean you have on is an in
dication of where you are in the fash
ion food chain," Wetzel said. Expect
the popularity of the stretch jean to
continue and look for the "career
jean."
Wetzel suggests that shopping for
the right jean and jean fit can be "as
frustrating and intense as buying a
bra." She suggests asking for assis
tance.
Now, step away from the twin sets,
Sherman warns, they're not in the five
staples she sees for spring.
At the top of the list is the Coco
Chanel-inspired jacket. Then there's
the full skirt an A-line or a circle skirt
that's full and in a floral or vintage
inspired fabric. Under that
accessorize with nude fishnets or, if
you dare, sheer floral hose. Add a slip
and a piece of vintage jewelry.

2. Ditch the formal sportcoat and sport
a textured non-solid blazer, with a
buyer's cut striped or checked double
button collar shirt. -Anderson
3. Lose the sand-blasted jeans and re
place them with straight-legged or
boot-cut blue jeans with just a mild
wash finish. -Anderson and Magnetic
4. Wear your big velour warm-up suit
to the gym or on a long drive, but if
you must wear a track suit of any sort
in public, go with a '7os style terry
cloth suit. -Richter
5. Unbuckle the bulky belt and go with
a fabric woven number. -Boston
6. Draw double-takes from passers
by with the latest wristwear, mini
wrist ties, made from the remnants of
retro neckties by up-and-coming
Oklahoma designer Xvala. -Richter
7. Unload your remaining pleated trou
and replace them with flat-fronts.
8. Unlace the wingtips and the
hightops. Save space in your closet
and replace them both with hybrid
dress tennis shoes, especially the Cole
Haan/Nike Airmax heel, and Pony's
new line of crossover kicks. -Mag

9. Accessorize with an I-River or
Samsung YP9OO MP3 player.
-Manglani
10. Invest in a spring blazer. Go for
white, but that might be hard to find.
If so, look for pale gray, khaki or seer
sucker. -Boston
