OOTD: Stripes, Converse, and Gold

It's officially summertime and I'm finally back from my trip to D.C. which means it is time for an Outfit of the Day post! Here I am wearing a red and blue chambray top with high-waisted shorts and my favorite pair of converses. Keep on reading to find out more about my look!

'

My top is from Marshall's and underneath I am wearing a blue camisole to ensure that my bra is not seen from the open sleeves. I purchased my shoes and shorts about two years ago and they are still two of my favorite pieces for summer.

I left my hair in a ponytail so that the collar on my shirt could stand out and to keep the extra heat off my neck!

I stayed all gold with my jewelry, as usual, and wore lots of simple rings. I put own my new pair of Owl head earrings and my Betsey Johnson boyfriend style Owl watch. FYI, owls are my favorite creature so I love to wear them on  my accessories. 

Have a fantastic, fun, and memorable summer 2013! Remember that laughter is the best medicine and never take life too seriously, especially in the summertime.

3 Ways to Make Your Legs Look Longer

I love making my legs look long and lean and I also love wearing heels, but sometimes I just am not in the mood to wear heels. However, I've found three easy ways to make myself feel tall and make others think my legs are going on for miles without the use of wedges and heels. The firsy way is to match the color of your jeans with the color of your shoes. Keep grey jeans with grey shoes, black with black, and so on. The best thing is that it works for all types of shoes! The number two way is to use jeans with a vertcial pattern, the best way is stripes. The vertical pattern makes it appear that your legs keep going and going because of the up and down print. Last, but not least is trying out high-waisted jeans which add height since the jeans go up into your upper body. High-waisted jeans also help out the ladies with super short or longer torsos because you have a reason to tuck in your shirt.  No matter what tip you try, you won't need heels which is a total plus since you get to have the extra comfort of flats!

Fashion 101: Disco Pants

Okay so at first glance you may think these are flashbacks of the pants Oliva Newton John wore in Grease and you're absolutely right. Fashion as well as music and other popular trends are usually a rewind of trends in past decades. Anyways, I have to showcase the trend of disco pants! I totally want a pair of disco pants, they look like high-waisted leather pants that hug your body like leggings and come in a variety of colors. Disco pants will work heels, flats, and tennis shoes and look great with any type of top. They really work like jeans in you wardrobe, but better because of their smooth and tight fit. Disco pants can work into any style depending on how you style them, their color, and how you work them.

Will you be trying out disco pants this fall?

Fashion 101: The Flared Jean

Rachel Zoe Resort Wear 2012



Sofia Vergara

Alessandra Ambrosio

Flared jeans are back in style and taking the place of only wearing skinny jeans 24/7. Flared jeans comein such a variety, they can go from retro 70's style to just a slight flare to show off nice peep toe heels. There is even a skinny flare style of jean that mixes skinny jeans and flare jeans together, Alessandra Ambrosio's jeans are the best example of this style. Flared jeans work on all body types, a wide flare is great for tall girls while a more slimming flare works for short girls. A higher rise flare jeans shows off hips and creates lovely curves. You don't have to just get flared denim, flared trousers and pants also look fabulous for work and special occassions.

How To Wear: High Waisted Shorts

Emma Roberts

Selena Gomez

Miley Cyrus

High waisted shorts are a HOT trend for summer and now that they have become so popular it is hard to make them stand out. The shorts are becoming more and more popilar because they throw a retro twist onto what has become the new modern "short shorts". High waisted shorts work for just about anyone and give the body a small waist and an hourglass shape. Emma Roberts gives high waisted shorts a girly chic look by pairing them with a sheer, flowy blouse and black peep toe heels. Adding girly touches like the sheer blouse and a nice handbag make a pair of denim shorts into an amazing outfit. Selena Gomez takes high waisted shorts into a summer-y vibe by wearing them in a starfish print with a midriff bearing top. The nude heels lengthen her legs and although the look is bold and daring, Selena is still rocking the look with confidence! Miley Cyrus goes hipster and casual with the look by taking a loose rock tee and tucking it into her short. The flats, jean jacket, and round sunglasses give the look fashion power!
