Tone It Down

Anna Thomas Clothing

Garters. Hickies. The real story behind that hiney bruise. They say a lady never tells.

Good thing Anna Thomas isn’t one for keeping her business under wraps.

The Aussie designer’s newest collection mixes head-turning, classy looks (color block dresses, sack skirts, belted short shorts) with enough va va voom to raise eyebrows (peekaboo side slits, contrast piping, neon accents).

Belted cardigans and jumper-cut dresses are just the beginning. Later this season, slip into preppy short-sleeve sweaters, pin-tuck blouses, structured jackets, and laid-back party frocks in subtle metallic sheens.

Good thing word got out.

Available at Kelly’s Closet, 1649 McLendon Avenue, Candler Park (404-377-9923). To see styles, go to annathomas.com.
