All roads lead to Morocco . . .

. . . or India, Africa or China. Global dressing wields a powerful influence this spring and you’ll find plenty of ethnic accessories and prints for a multi-cultural feel. This Tory Burch Martin halter dress ($495) in silk jersey is a winning style, but if you want to express your global self in the workplace this Tory Burch sleeveless linen Melanie dress ($325) might be more appropriate. Global looks in tops work great with a pair of white jeans in the summer: Tory’s Christian silk georgette top ($295) in coconut ikat or orchid pink ikat is attractive. At Chickdowntown we spotted this Milly Buenos Aires dress ($323), which is another piece that can do double duty as a dress or tunic. Urban Outfitters has some fun tops, including these two by Free People: the Moroccan geo tank ($38) or the Moroccan zig zag tank ($38).

Safari dressing is another variation of global style and this Diane Von Furstenberg Trinia safari dress ($398) in cotton sateen is a chic, comfortable way to show your worldly side. At Saks Fifth Avenue, we found lots of safari looks including this Dana Buchman belted safari dress ($295, pictured right) available in light khaki or black. If you’ll get more wear out of a jacket this white Milly cotton safari jacket ($390) or Dana Buchman’s safari jacket ($375) might better suit your needs.

Funky jewelry is the fastest way to globe trot. This Chinese medallion ($24) at Francesca’s has a delicate feel, or you could peruse the selection of ethnic-inspired Napier jewelry at Kohls. The gold tone teardrop ($20), the silver tone antique pendant ($23) or the gold tone & jet pendant ($23) are all wonderful and inexpensive ways to send the message that you are a jet setting woman of the world.
