Video OOTD: Stripes and Converses

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.

Trend 101: All Black at the White Shows

Spring 2013 is all about stand out prints and colors which is why black and white outfit combos are becoming a major trend. The color contrast between white and black is major and can be seen in so many different styles, prints, and pieces that it's almost impossible not to fall in love with the trend. My favorite way of rocking this trend is through stripes or a graphic tee. Black and white stripes can look very feminine and classy, but still be turned edgy and chic in seconds while a graphic tee will always keep you comfty and casual. Not only that, but a black and white outfit combo is perfect to pair with bold colored accesories, purse, and shoes! So many options are included with this trend which makes it a must to try out.

How do you style the black and white trend?

Trend 101: Stripes Print Mania

Stripes, especially black and white stripes, are making a major impact in spring 2013's fashion. Stripes are mostly known for being classic, preppy, and girly, but I am all for turning stripes into a strong edgy look. Miley Cyrus is always rocking stripes whether it's in a jumpsuit, a skirt, or an awesome pair of skinny jeans. Not only are stripes a great print, but they create slimmer and wider allusions where you want them. Keep on reading to find out how to style stripes like Miley Cyrus. 

Miley Cyrus

The vertical stripes of her jumpsuit help to form her natural curves and bring them out even more. The style of the jumpsuit is very 70's and even elongates the body making Miley look 7 feet tall!

This jumpsuit feature bigger and bolder prints which does a lot more visually. The horizontal stripes up top and vertical stripes at the bottom are a great contrast as well as the nice peek of skin on her shoulders.

It's always nice to mix casual and classy. I like how Miley went casual with a sweatshirt, but made it look classy with a satin striped skirt. The red made the entire look more classic along with the black pumps and clutch.

The easiest way to rock stripes is in a nice pair of skinny jeans. The jeans make your legs look miles long and in a vertical print you will look super slim! Striped pants that are black and white go with any solid print top as well as some other prints.

Are you rocking prints this spring?

OOTD: Blue Striped Bows

The fall and winter season always seems to make peoples wardrobes 50 shades darker, but not mine. I love adding color, graphics, and patterns to my look all year round no matter the season! For this outfit I decided to you all three of my favorite things, as you can see I used the color in my jeans and the patterns and graphic in my shirt. The blue pants work fot the season because they aren't extremely bright which gives a more understated look. The top also helps to tone down the top and give persoanlity, uniqueness to the look, and overall more fun! The black combat boots are just my go to pair of shoes, they always make me feel edgy and are comfty for my feet. I didn't add too many accesssories because I didn't want anything taking away from my clothes and I kept my hair in a high messy bun.

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!

OOTD: The Best Time To Wear A Striped Sweater

Just because it's fall doesn't mean I'm going to stop wearing bright eye-catching color and funky prints! The weather is getting so breezy so I decided that it's time to pull out my sweaters and on top their happened to be my 4 year old blue and green sweater. This sweater is an old favorite especially since it is in such good condition after all these years! Although the green and blue coloring appear bright in the photos, they're actaully quite dark and needed a little something to lighten the mood and make it more fun. I paired my sweater with these vibrant red pants that stop right above the ankle and gives off a quirky, cool look when worn with oxfords. I wore a blue cami underneath my sweater, I have to keep the little something I do have covered, a small pair of dangly earrings, and four mismatch rings.

Tell me what your wearing for fall and how you style your favorite sweater!

Outfit Of The Day: Sporty Stripes

 This week has  been full of homework and projects, which pribably reflects in the amount of blog posts I posted this week. Sorry guys! All week I've been trying to stay casual, but still cute. This look is just a striped light sweater, super skinny jeans, converse, and a few accessories.

 The striped sweater was perfect because all my classrooms are chilly and I wanted to have a sporty look. The super skinny jeans are actually super comfortable and I think they show off the shape of my legs. Since I wanted to lengthen out my legs without wearing heels, I paired my blue jeans with my blue Converse low tops. Matching the color of your shoes to your pants give you extra height!

Although I didn't get a good picture of my accessories, I wore my usual Betsey Johnson watch, a few small gold rings, and my gold ear cuff to spice things up. I wore my hair down and straight only because I felt like I did a top knotch flat iron job, which is rare for me. All together a busy week equals comfty outfits, but they can still be cute!

Fashion 101: Classic Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is for always having a classic, chic look. Taylor is the perfect style crush for anyone who wants to get the classic style. All you need is to find your striped shirts, a-line dresses and skirts, flats, and a cute satchel like purse. I'm sure you have a couple pieces in your closet to fit the style, so try it out!

Straight leg jeans are a great pant and go with the classic style. You can even add your own flair by picking out colored jeans like red or blue. Tucking in your shirt, a striped shirt at that, will add to your classic look even more. Pull your hair up into a high ponytail or a cute side braid to add fun simplicity to your outfit. 

If your not into wear pants, go for an a-line dress or skirt. Pair the skirt or dress with a cute pair of flats or even Converse sneakers for a sportier look. The stripes are not only a nice pattern, but they also are slimming and give you a shape. Don't forget to pull out a nice satchel bag that compliments your outfit without going over the top.
