OOTD: Print Crazy Peplum

You probably have already figured out that I have a slight obsession with printed pants, but I just can't  help it. I love pairing my printed pants with a solid color up top, but this blue structured peplum top I found for under $10 was even better because of it's unique style. The look has just the amount of color I like to wear without being a neon bright highlighter and paired with my grey sneaker wedges, the print on the pants is toned down.

The back of the peplum top is a deep scoop that shows off the back while still covering up the shoulder blades and bar clasps. The peplum aspect of the top gives me more of a defined waist and shape while the pants fit more like jeggings fitting more snug and comfy on my legs. My sneaker wedges help to emphasize my legs since any type of wedge on a shoe helps to make your legs look longer and leaner.

As for accessories, I wore a couple or small rings, a boyfriend watch, and a ponytail holder just in case I wanted to pull my hair up. The shoes have spike details that stand out against the grey of the shoe and in my opinion work as a major point within my whole look. The pattern on my pants is actually a mixture of grey and white tree branches, leaves, and bird cages with splashes of yellow throughout.

OOTD: Studs, Leather, Cheetah!

You may not know this about me, but ever since I saw the Cheetah Girls movie on Disney Channel I've always had a weakness for cheetah print. Animal print in general is a cool and easy way to add a pattern to your outfit without feeling like a walking abstract painting. I wore my letterman jacket over my top while I was outside to keep warm while sticking with my laid back look. The leather pants are part of my new pants obsessions, they are a mix of simple and edgy since they are a solid color but they also have a slight shimmer and are of course leather. The leather and animal print put together make me so edgy, especially with the edition of my spike detailed sneaker wedges!

I decided to keep the construction of the outfit simple by pairing a print with a solid. The cheetah print top was very easy to pair with the red leather pants since it only consists of two colors. The shoes are my grey Guess sneaker wedges that work with just about anything and add a laid back feel to any outfit. The stud details on the back of the shoes also add an edgy and kick-butt look to the whole look. I wanted to feel casual, trendy, and fun look with this outfit which I totally felt all day. 

As for hair and accessories, I kept it very minimal so I wanted take away from my outfit. I wore my everyday gold watch, a few small rings, silver hoop earrings, and my favorite "dream" rubber bracelet. My eye make-up consisted of a BB cream, mascara, and a thin cat eye. I put bantu knots in my hair the night before which gave my hair a slight wave. Also, this may sound a bit cliche, but I was sure to wear a smile and confidence all day long to compliment the look.

Trend Alert: Sneaker Wedges

Sneaker wedges are the latest trend in shoe wear and perfectly for the girl who loves heels or wants height while still being casual and comfty. Sneaker weddges come in so many styles and heights, you can go from basic black to a wild cheetah print to match your style or outfit. Don't forget you can even change the shoe laces to go with anything!

Alessandra Ambrosio

Alessandra Ambrosio shows how you can wear the sneaker wedges with a super casual outfit and still look chic and comfortable. The sneaker wedges she is wearing are a sleek black which means they can be worn with casual, chic, sleek, and edgy looks very easily. For the girls who just like the easiness of the shoe, a good bit of sneaker wedges come with just a Velcro strap which means they are very easy to get on and off.

Beyonce
 

Beyonce is sporting a very similar, if not the same exact pair of sneaker wedges as Alessandra Ambrosio. However, Beyonce shows the edgier side of the show even though she is still looking casual with the addition of her oversized coat. Besides the cute, chic fashion aspects of the show, Beyonce must think the shoes are pretty comfortable for the day. She's carrying around a baby and that gets heavy! As of right now I am all over the sneaker wedge, they are cute, chic, comfortable, and trendy!



Dakota Fanning

Dakota Fanning brings out the more young side of the shoe which is great for teens and young adults like myself. I love that she choose a softer more neutral color, especially since most people go for the darker colors. Like Beyonce, Dakota paired the sneaker wedges with leather pants although Dakota has made the look completely different and ultra chic. The bag and shoes definitely make her outfit.

How are you feeling about the sneaker wedge?
