Tracy Reese's happy hippie

Count on Tracy Reese to bring a smile to your face and some standout duds to your closet.  For spring 2011 Reese calls her collection “clean, classic, mellow and groovy,” and it is.

Dresses are particularly cute and easy with a distinctly hippie vibe – a little coral A-line frock has bell chiffon sleeves, a feminine tiered maxidress featured an orchid and wave print, and an airy orchid Henley dress – sublime in shiny silk. 

But Reese never forgets real girls’ need for clothes that work (as in an office) and many pieces – a black raffia coat suit, a great trench coat and cool, slim pants – fit the bill.
