Perforated eyelet pieces are styled with sleek scalloped-edge leather jackets to provide a downtown look that still remains elegant. Kelly Green, Highlighter Yellow, and Equestrian Orange are the perfect complement to earthy neutrals, integrating my love of both the country side and the city. Spring 2011 brings us all back to fresh, feel good, American fashion.“
Tracy Reese stated that her collection is inspired by “effortlessly chic dressing, redefining favorite silhouettes and offering women simple yet sexy looks with a classic TR touch.
