Outfit # 170: Vintage Flare

This dress is so cute and fun and the plus side, it has vintage elements which I love. The high scoop neck gives this dress a girly quality and the A-line skirt flatters my body type by giving me shape. Adding a skinny belt really breaks up the dress's monochromatic look a bit and even a yellow belt would be less matchy matchy and add even a more unique quality to the look. I chose gold accessories to tie in with my cognac colored booties. Choosing a nude color shoe would also work and the pluse side would be that it would give the illusion of longer legs.

Outfit #169: A Great Summer Outfit

I took a light weight A-line skirt and paired it with a light weight multi colored striped top with string details. I tucked the shirt in and belted the waist to give myself a waist. Always belt at the waist to give yourself some shape. The neutral belt breaks up the blues in the outfit. Also it's best to wear a pattern on top and a solid on the bottom. I chose gold accessories because of the gold hardware on the belt and the shoes. I also chose wedges because it's the perfect summer shoe. Add a bright yellow scarf and a smaller snake skin neutral color wedge shoe to instantly change the look for a more dramatic fun summer look.

Outfit # 168:Summer Sophistication

This outfit is meant to be casual and girly. The girly comes from the ruffles on the blouse and the casual comes from the bermuda shorts. I added the boyfriend cardigan for cooler summer nights but rolled the sleeves up for some styling. I added a white leather cuffed watch to keep the look casual and also added wedges to keep the look fresh for summer.

167: Cali Inspired with a Hipster Touch

 Graphic tanks with loose fit is what makes this California inspired. I layered a black tank underneath the white tank as a layering piece due to the elements on the back of the tank. I like graphic shirts that have pops of color and this tank is so cool and fun. I chose light washed jeans to give it somewhat of an 80's vibe. I added pops of color with turqoise accessories; along with a long stone and feather necklace. Lastly, I chose white boat shoes.

Outfit # 166: More California Inspiration

This look is casual laidback and influenced by the California lifestyle. It may have some matchy matchy elements to it but I broke up the whole matchy part up with a pop of ombre lens, white frame sunglasses instead of choosing black sunglasses. I took a slouchy striped tank and layered it over a black fitted tank. For my accessories, I took a white cuffed watch and a stone and feather necklace. Instead of shorts, I chose skinny jeans and added a styling element by cuffing them. It gives the look a little more appeal.  I kept the look laidback with tan flip flops and kept it girly with diamond stud earrings.

Outfit # 165: Refined Denim for Casual Looks

When I was putting this look together, I was channeling my inner Cali girl. I took a long flowy tunic and put a white bandeau top under it. I thought the turquoise tunic gave the dark denim a contrast and then by adding the feather necklace, it also gave the look some contrast. The turquoise in the tunic really brought out the turquoise in the feathers. To keep the look even more casual. I through on some blue and turquoise beaded bracelets, a wide cuff leather watch and my aviators. I kept the look simple by adding neutral flip flops.

Outfit #164: Refined Denim For Night Time

I took dark washed refined denim shorts went from a casual day of shopping with contrasting accessories, to a going out for happy hour with the girls on a Friday night. To replace the light weight cardigan, I chose a cotton blended blazer that is light weight and perfect for spring or summer. I added a black tank for extreme contrast and chose silver accessories to give it that refined night look. To give this outfit a little sex appeal, I chose strappy snake skin wedge sandals. These sandals wont hurt your feet and are extremely flattering.

Outfit # 163: Refined Denim Shorts

 This outfit is fun for a day of shopping. It looks put together with a few simple accessories and it's perfect for spring or early summer. Stripes are still in. I took accessories with black in them to give a bit of contrast to the look. Also the dark denim wash gives the look a sophisticated contrast. I connected the whole look together with neutral on the top with the tan hat and the neutral color wedges. The denim shorts I am wearing aren't your typical jean shorts. They are cut with some sophistication and the slant pockets give them some refinement.

Wedges are essential for the spring or summer. Another thing that is essential, is a pedicure. I need to get on that!

Outfit # 162: Nautical mini stripes

This outfit is relaxed and comfortable, yet fun and on trend. The shirt is comfortable due to the flowyness of it.It has a relaxed element to it with the ties that hang down and the cute buttons. I cuffed my skinny jeans and paired with surf shoes. I added a wide leather cuffed white watch to tie the shirt and the shoes together. I added a silver ball ring to also add a put together element.

Outfit # 161: Bohemian inspired

I wanted to be comfortable yet still  have some stylish elements with this outfit. I took a long navy maxi dress and paired it with a grey over sized boyfriend sweater due to it being a slightly mild day. I added a long feather necklace which gives this outfit the bohemian vibe.  I chose to keep it simple and added neutral flip flops. Lastly, I added diamond stud earrings to keep my accessories to a minimum.

Outfit 160: Simplicity

Once again, black and white always looks sharp together. I love this top and it looks good with any pair of pants. I chose my diamond stud watch and my silver ball ring. I kept my earrings simple with diamond studs. For my shoes, I picked closed toe black heels with silver studding around the toe area. I rolled the jeans up to add some styling. The shoes give the look a little something extra and the ring and silver studs on the shoes tie the look together.
