Monochromatic+Crowns

16th June 2014

floral
This season, I have seen many trends but one that has stuck out that I’ve been wanting to try is all white. I LOVE a monochromatic look, it just looks and feels really sophisticated. After putting this look together, it just looked like it was missing something, besides another splash of a different color. At this point, I usually throw on a headband or hat, but I’m always experimenting with accessories so I knew what I had to wear with this…a floral crown. And it just so happens, I have the best dad who is always ready to help me when I need it, so we used the materials we had and created this beautiful crown of roses! (DIY Tutorial is at the bottom of this post!)

With the crown added, it really pulled me whole look together. Monochromatic may sound boring because it’s literally one color, but you can really rock this style a few different ways. You can always wear different shades of the same color. Case and point, my look today, I have white shorts, a white cami and then an off-white, almost cream over shirt. Differing the color in each piece will also give a more color blocking look, and this trend is a fun one too. Give this look a try (sans crown if you must) you really stand out, surprisingly even more when you rock just one shade!

Steal my look today: BDG Shorts: Urban Outfitters, Tank Top: Kohl’s, Rampage Button-Up: TJ Maxx

My Favorite, Forgotten, Floppy Hat

21st May 2014

hats

Today was absolutely stunning and quite a pleasant switch from yesterday! The sun decided to come out and that made it perfect to wear one of my favorite, forgotten accessories: my two-toned floppy hat. Today was a perfect fit for it because it wasn’t a brutal scorcher, but it was a little windy, so that made fashion savvy look a little difficult. I’ve had this hat for almost three years now and I always forget it exists in my closet. I personally think it looks more suitable for fall, so I typically decide against wearing it, but lesson learned today because I received a lot of compliments, so that was fun. Side note: hats are entirely more fun than sunglasses. Another side note: when you truly feel like you have nothing to wear, revisit the back of your closet.

She’s gone country…well, kinda.

Tonight is my first time attending a country concert, unless you count Taylor Swift, but I do agree with that community…she’s really not country in my opinion. Nevertheless, I am pretty excited to see Jake Owen. Because I do not consider myself to be country in the slightest, I decided to put my own spin on this style.

To me, when I think of country, I think of plaids/flannels, jean jackets and cowboy boots. So, I decided to wear a dress with a plaid jacket. A note to everyone out there reading this, this is the first time I have ever worn this jacket in the two years I have had it. It really is cute, I just put it my closet and kind of forgot about it but it is perfect for tonight…so don’t throw pieces out because you haven’t seen them in a while.

Denim on Denim on Denim

Today, I felt a little inspired after seeing a Teen Vogue article for a spring trend that I believe will be around long after the season has passed (if it ever fully gets here!) Today I decided to try denim on denim. There are different ways to pull of this look but I decided to go with black denim pants paired with a denim shirt. This gives a polished look, and almost is a little like color blocking if you decide to match your pants to your undershirt like I chose to do with mine. This look is fun because it is really simple and easy to dress up with accessories.

Keep it Trendy!

Another beautiful day it has been, and then I remember we are suppose to be getting 1-3 inches of snow… so why not take advantage of this weather while we have it?

Today I want to talk about trends. Trends can be tricky because you never really know how long they will last (ie hair feathers, I do really miss those) but today I am wearing three different trends that I am determined to keep current because I love all three of them.

Breaking the Rules

13th May 2014

post38

Today was a day to break the rules. And by that, I mean of course wearing white AFTER Labor day. I will wear white all year long. I mainly avoid it in the winter for obvious reason (who really wants to camouflage with the snow?) But anyways, I really don’t think this “rule” is crucial. I paired my white Bullhead jeans from PacSun, with a blue chevron tank top from Carson’s. I added my yellow necklace from Etsy because I feel it really helps to set off the pattern of the chevron in my top. I wore my brown Bullhead flats to complete my outfit today. This is a great spring look and like most, you can change this up a bit to wear it for a night out! I am so excited to continue wearing my white jeans all year because they really make a simple pattern pop. Break some fashion rules this weekend. Seriously, weren’t rules made to be broken?
