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.

The styling on the back of this tank, gives this look the "hipster" element in the look.

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.
