Spring is here and summers just around the corner so it’s time
to freshen up that wardrobe and make your fashion statement for
the season. If you’ve had a look around the stores or boutiques
you’ll notice some of the pretties clothes and accessories are

blah. Well placed appliqués, amusing details, juicy colors make
these articles of clothing girlish and flirty. The perfect look
for weekends and casual days. We’ve got cherry print dresses,
pineapple topped shirts, melon and kiwi print pants and host of
other deliciously flavorable garments. If your wardrobe doesn’t
consist of a lot of fruit why not added some fruit jewelry,

side, but you will find similar garments for affordable pricing

pants, skirts, and dresses that fit this seasons look.
Affordable costume jewelry in the fruity theme can be found
online at several different stores including us at Estate
Jewelry International. The fruity jewelry dating from the 1950s
is a wonderful new addition for this season
This season is a season of nostalgia because the last time we
saw fruity patterns so popular was back in the 1950s. Fruity in
moderation is the key to wearing these prints. Here’s a good
rule of thumb – if it looks good on a 5 or 6 year old then it’s
not for a grown women. If your in your 20s-30s you can choose
one item that is a big and bold fruit to make your outfit
standout. Don’t get carried away. One will make a statement. If
your in your 40s fruity sweetness can quickly sour. Avoid big
and bold, rather opting for mini fruit motifs. Small delicate
non overpowering fruit is the key here If your 50+ then no more
than a hint of fruit is for you. How about a cherry tote bag or
a pineapple brooch pinned to your blouse, or some strawberries
on your flip flops. Remember light is much tastier!
This season has a wonderful mix of cuts and styles, from tunics
to fitted blouses, to convertible halter dresses. There are
choices for all ages, shapes, and sizes. You’ll find fruity
prints from head to toe, so enjoy and wear what feels right and
looks good. Remember to you can always accessorize with fruity
jewelry, belts, and shoes. Make your fashion statement!
