OOTD: Topknot and Flowers

I am so in love with my H&M dress! The dress gives me a girly and edgy feel all in one, plus it makes my legs look great! The dress is an all over colorful floral pattern with hints of black that stand out. This dress is a tad too short for me to wear to school, but it is perfect for any day when you just want to wear a dress.

The dress gives me a bit of an hourglass shape because it is a-line and has very precise seam lines. It also has a body-con type feel because it hugs my body very snug. The only issue is that you need to wear smooth undergarments because they will show through the dress and visible panty lines aren't cool!

I stayed very simple with my accessories because of the busy pattern of my dress so I only wore a very small pair of green earrings, three small rings, and my everyday gold watch. I also wore a black pair of wedge booties that I have fallen in love with, but you can take the look grungey with combat boots. I decided since I really wanted to show of my dress to throw my hair up into a high topknot and no make-up.

*Just to let you guys know, my dress is from H&M for $17.95 and my shoes are from Rack Room Shoes for around $30.00.*

 Here it is, my Back To School Haul! Since I do go back to school during the in between weeks of summer and fall, I wanted to get pieces that would work for both seasons. Printed jeans are an absolute favorite of mine so of course I had to pick up floral and animal print jeans! I also pulled out all my pairs of colorful jeans because those are a great staple to brighten up your closet. I also went for some edgier tops as well as a super cute grungy-girly dress. All the pieces work great with my older clothes which is a must when shopping, there's no point in buying something you can't wear! I will definitely be doing more OOTD's with my newly added pieces! 





Fashion 101: Soft Rebel

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus definitely knows how to rock the "soft meets rebel, but still fashionable" look! Miley always rocks a more feminine outfit, but throws on the edge with her shoes and accessories and also giving her hair a cute messy look. The lace dress she is wearing here seems to be a thrifted vintage dress. The dress is super cute, but just for Miley it could have been taken in and the sleeves could be moved up a bit. A more fitting form for Miley's slim shape would have killed because of her slender curves mixed with the black booties. The long necklace adds an even bigger vintage vibe while the small bracelets and ring make the outfit more casual. This outfit could be rocked for a casual day out or whenever you want to feel a little grunged out while still remaining feminine.
