As I mentioned yesterday It’s so frustrating when you want to wear your spring clothes but it’s just to cold for some of them. One of these are the cropped pants and so I decided to create outfits with different ways of wearing the cropped pants in the cold. I might do similar posts with other items so feel free to comment if you have any ideas! . . .
I have loved many combos over the years some of those come and gone, others are forgotten. But there are also combos that I love just as much today as I did when I first discovered them; one of these being the print combination leopard and stripes. It always looks amazing and It makes me feel on top. What you should think about when combining these prints is that none of them should steal the attention away from the other. For example the brown background shade in the pumps is rich but still dark just like the blue in the striped top; this makes everything more balanced because none of the colors are more intense than the other. . . .
A couple of days ago I put my favorite basic top on backwards (accidentally) and I realized I had a boat neck top I didn’t know I had. I have tried out wearing my tops backwards before but it has never looked the way I wanted it; but with this top it actually looked good. It might look a little off at the back due to the buttons going down the front, or is it the back… but I really like it! . . .
The slip dress was a huge trend last year and it will most likely continue that way throughout this year. It’s a really great piece when it comes to styling and I really want more slip dresses (but that’s a different story.) . . .
Today I used one of the smartest inventions when it comes to fashion; the safety pin. It’s amazing how something so small can do so much and I think that this outfit proves it. Sometimes I struggle a lot when making my outfits (I make them a day ahead and sometimes even earlier if I’m inspired) and the safety pin has saved me a lot of times. You know when you have an idea in your head of something that would look so good but when actually try it one it doesn’t look at all like you had in mind? Well in some cases a safety pin is all you need to make your piece of clothing look that way you wanted. . . .
During fashion week last year I saw photos from one of the shows (I don’t remember which I’m afraid) where they had added a metal circle like mine on to pants; some where empty and others had something hanging from them (I think they were coats or jackets.) I am surprised that this never became a trend because first of all it’s a really cool detail and second it’s super smart. Say you want to take off your lightweight jacket when walking around in a mall, hang it on the metal circle (add it to the back of your jeans or belt if it’s annoying to have in the front.) If you’re tired of carrying a bag with keys, card and phone, find or make a small bag and hang it on to the metal circle. I could go on and on but I think I have written enough already. (wait I just realized that those responsible for a large amount of keys actually have similar metal circles on their belt.. I think it’s time to steal their idea) . . .
