Mix Or match go-togethers for "miles" of fashion No one will argue that the concept of throw- away fashion or the one­ time outfit is a thing of the past. But you can keep that clothes budget under control and still look as fashionable as ever by choosing separates that can be mixed and matched dozens of ways. This Spring think in terms of the polished look of a casual suit. Seen at a previous showing -- the versatile wrap jacket and button front skirt -- a graceful way to dress for , day into night from the newest Garland collection. You can strike up another great but entirely differ­ ent look by wrapping the same jacket over easy pants. The beauty of color- coordinated separates like these lies in their exciting change-around potential. Of course, you'll want to add your own personal touches to keep your ward­ robe fresh and interesting. Put your favorite accesso­ ries to work. They can dress up an outfit or add easy flair to your most casual silhouette. The scarf-tied head is one sporty tie-on that's dy­ namic with skirts and tops. For a change of pace, toss the same scarf around your neck, add a lean tee- shirt, and you're off with a new image. Whatever fashion look you choose, keep in mind that this is the year when what makes the most fashion is what makes the most sense. And fashion experts point out that versatility is the key. Win­ ning looks come easy with handy-to-haVe coordi­ nated separates that in­ termingle beautifully for as many pulled-together looks as your imagination allows. Designer's bridal show has something for everyone "Something old... some­ thing new... There's a gown for every bride and every type of wedding in this compre­ hensive collection stress­ ing freedom, versatility and individual taste. Traditional classics are well represented. So are sophisticated styling and the shapes of '75. Silk or nylon jersey looks newest--deceptively, starkly simple, untouched by lace or beading, draped into easy, wearable, flat­ tering silhouettes. Cape shapes take the spotlight; also noted: a cape worn over a slip dress with an "All" hat and veil; a flowing cape-style over­ dress with simple chemise beneath and matching turban head-dress. Necklines are mostly high -- some with beaded or jeweled effects. Long veils are important, espe­ cially mantillas. Bridesmaids' and moth­ ers' gowns are soft, pretty and styled to be wearable after the wedding. Pastel floral prints, linens, lawns and jerseys come with their own shawls or capes, look nostalgic with baskets of flowers for a garden-party effect, v Cruahable knils are a boon, and often will be the chic-est items in your wardrobe.
