Age of Innocence

When you were a little girl, innocent fashion faux pas (like wearing a ballerina costume to school) were no big deal.

But nowadays, wearing an Annie Oakley get-up to a meeting might not be the best career move.

So how to return to those simpler times?

Let Saja designer Yoo Lee re-create the beauty of youth with her hauntingly pretty spring line. Gauzy eyelet sundresses recall summer days spent picking wildflowers; the ruffled-sleeve lace-up bodice of an orange flowered number has true Holly Hobby appeal. Play dress-up in long, princessy chiffon gowns and mermaid necklaces made from seashells.

Lee also offers ladylike sweaters and tailored jackets to top off sweet strapless dresses as well as linen shorts to go with delicate beaded blouses.

So you’ll be the fashion sharpshooter you’ve always dreamed of being.

Without having to don chaps and a ten-gallon hat.
