THE BRAZEN WOMAN TOP 5 FASHION PICKS FOR SPRING 2014
1. The Full Midi Skirt If you buy only one skirt this season, make it a full midi skirt. This nod to the 50s, Mad Men style, is back in vogue and it’s prettier than ever. Zip yours up and get ready to watch your waist turn tiny, no matter what your age or body type. Pair with pumps or strappy sandals and use Betty Draper’s classic style as your style inspiration.

Choose from Graphic, Floral, Stripes, Polka Dots, you get the picture. And don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns to add extra flair.
