A little of this, a little of that...

Pattern mixing doesn't always have to be so obvious. Here I paired a sheer white flowered lace with polka dot pants (Target). The reason this works for this look is the lace is not as bold of a print and matches with the white polka dots on the pants. Try to keep the your color story within 3 colors when mixing prints. I added the black pieces and bright lip to help make the look POP.

I've also been asked to show how I would style a sheer shirt over a bralette. I found this new Savvy top from (Nordstrom) and thought it would be the perfect opportunity to blog my sheer flowered lace. When wearing a sheer lace top you can go one of  two ways... go bold or keep it simple. Here I went bold by adding a dark bralette underneath my lace rather than a white or nude. How will you pattern mix or wear your sheer lace tops? Whatever you do, just have fun with it!

Happy Styling!

 

 

All about them Overalls!

Its day 2 of stripes for this week! Overalls have been a fashion trend that even I have repeated from my past. I use to wear them all the time in middle school and now I am wearing them again. It's kind of fun reinventing a new way to wear something you once wore before.

 

I decided that I would wear my overalls (Nordstrom) with an off the shoulder cropped stripe top (Target) for this post. I added a leather jacket, some ankle strap wedges, and lip color to pull the look all together. I kept the look fairly simple and let the stripes and overalls speak for themselves.

 

How will you wear stripes with overalls? Or just overalls? Give them a chance, you might find that it's a trend you can bring back too.

 

Happy Styling!

 

                                                                       

When a Bow Tie Meets Stripes

This week is going to be all about stripes and I decided to kick the week off with a little bow tie and some stripe combo.

 

Depending on your workplace, this can also be a good wear to work option. Add a blazer and a longer skirt, if your work requires a more conservative look. For my look here, I wore a button up striped blouse (Forever 21) with black shorts (Nordstrom), bow tie (Dad's closet), ankle strapped heels (Forever 21), and gold jewelry (Nordstrom).

 

Keep posted for more stripes this week!

 

Happy Styling!
