Even I didn't enjoy looking at my clutter! So with the arrival of Spring, now is a good time for anyone like myself to do a little organization.

That's A Wrap! The Best Of DVF'S Spring 2016 Collection

I remember my first DVF dress. Of course, it was the wrap done in a navy print. Oh how I loved that dress! If I still had it today, I know that it would have been just as stylish as it was then. Each year, Diane's iconic wrap is reinvented with prints and patterns, but the inspiration of power and independence for women, remains the same. To learn a little about Diane and the journey of her dress click HERE.  Her Spring Collection is one of my very favorites of the season.  Scroll down for some stylish standouts.
