If there are two messages you should extrapolate from the spring runways, they are sheer and florals. So instead of waiting until magazine editorials have OD-ed on begonias and roses to don a floral frock, opt for this one from Bluefly (www.bluefly.com) right now. Pair it with chocolate-hued heeled oxfords and a fold over envelope clutch in navy patent (www.nordstrom.com). Besides being of-the-moment, the slim envelope clutch – when worn in the crook of the armpit – makes hands-free mingling easier than ever.
