La Buutique: Dress like an exotic fruit this summer

This summer should be refreshing and full of new taste in the air. Be adventurous, try on a new shade, test some new waters, BE EXOTIC. You may be asking "how do I dress like an exotic fruit"? Here are some options I found to be tempting enough to eat & wear.

Angry Asian's recent blog about the Dragon fruit, or Pitaya, gave me some fun ideas for dressing up my style this summer. It's a fruit of several cactus species & found native to some exotic destinations like Mexico, South East Asia, Australia & Israel.

Something easy to find might be a white dress with black dots or vice versa w/ a pink accessory, maybe shoes or a clutch would do the job. I found something white & black with animal print all over.

To get the fuchsia pink outer layer of the dragon fruit, pair your dress with something bright

like these felt mesh jellies @ forever21

To get the color scheme without the dots, try a dress that's exotic on its' own like this

Next on our exotic fruit adventure is the Mangosteen; a tropical evergreen tree. This bright deep purple skin and white flesh fruit is sweet & delicate; also believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands & the Moluccas.

You can do a lot with your style using mangosteen colors.

Our exotic fruit field trip now ends at the Mango. This fruit is always a treat when found in a salad or as a snack. Mango is one of the most popularly exploited fruits for food, juice, flavor, fragrance & color. It is only natural we exploit it into the fashion world as well!
