How To Wear Coral This Summer

When You are convinced that you can't

Obviously no one was consulting ME when they decided that CORAL was going to be one of the hottest colors for this summer. One look at my pasty pale skin and my brown hair and it's plain as night and day—I cannot pull off coral. I tried in the late 80s, and it was not a pretty site. But then, my daughter convinced me to try a shade of coral on my nails.

And you know what?

I did not hate it.

It's official: I am a CORAL CONVERT.

Think you can't wear coral?

Think again!
