White Out

I've always love the idea of an all white look. It's so fresh and chic. And very Scandinavian, or at least I like to think so. I found these destroyed white denim shorts in my closet the other day and knew they were the perfect addition to this Nasty Gal tee.

Accessories are super important with an outfit like this, so I added a lacy bra (also white) and tons of silver jewelry. I'd say stick to one color or pop with an all white outfit. I've been really in the mood for a beachy, boho look recently this hit the mark. 

 

HOW TO: Style a White Tee (4 Ways!)

Here is another video for you! This one is all about how to style a classic: the white tee. I have so many of these, it's a definitely one of my favorite pieces. And it can by styled in so many different ways. 

ONE // laidback: This is for your cozy day when you still want to look pulled together. Comfy pieces like boyfriend jeans and the every popular birkenstocks make you feel like you're wearing PJs. I also threw on a hat. I only had a KSU ballcap, but a leather one or a patterned snapback would be really cool too. And it adds an interesting touch.

TWO // boho: If you live by the beach, love frolicking through fields or are constantly shopping on Free People, this one is for you. Throw a slouchy tee over your favorite maxi (I wore a dress, but a skirt would work too!) and tie it up in the front. With the addition of a bunch of layered necklaces and some leather sandals you're ready for a day of twirling and eating kale. (Jokes. I do love this outfit for when you're feeling a bit more bohemian! :) )

THREE // classic: This is my go-to outfit for when I'm running out the door. I wear a variation of this almost everyday. Original, I know. But DIY cutoffs and a tee with a fun detail (like the mesh strip on this H&M beauty) are a great summer outfit. Add some gladiators for an interesting touch and huge sunnies to feel more glam. 

FOUR // girly glam: This look is a culmination of all of my favorite pieces lately. Originally I planned the outfit with a black bodycon skirt instead of the cutoffs but left that at home (argg!) when I went to film. Cutoffs work pretty well too. The combination of a really flowy top from the tee+kimono and the tighter/shorter bottoms makes your legs look miles long. I added a really sparkly necklace and bright fun shoes to make the look dressier. It would be perfect for a night out our dinner with your boo. 

I hope you liked this! Let me know what was your favorite outfit. And let me know if you have any requests for future HOW TO: style videos in the future! 

My Favorite Baubles

I wanted to share some of my favorite jewelry right now. I have a LOT of jewelry. You will know that if you saw my last instagram picture which showed some of my necklaces. It's a guilty pleasure. I'm really digging a few things right now: silver, snakes and turquoise. How boho of me, right? (Sarcasm haha). Anyways, what are you loving right now? And do you have any favorite jewelry shops? Please tell!

Faux Is Fun {Winter Style}

{Vest: F21 | Cardigan: F21 | Long Sleeve: H&M | Jeans: Target | Shoes: Nine West | Ring: F21}

Sometimes in the winter when I don't want to wear a bulky coat or I'm feeling particularly obnoxious, I wear my fur vest. Worn with a long sleeve knit and an extra layer it can be quite warm. And fun!

I like to keep outfits like this neutral, and play up textures. Add another layer (a cardigan like mine will work, but a plaid button up would be good too!) and some studded flats and you're out the door. 

How do you feel about faux fur? 

{My best friend, who lives where we shot these, has about 7 cats. I got distracted, they were so cute!}

PS-Yes, I did go to Estee Lauder before this. And yes, I did manage to smear lipstick all over my white cardigan...high five to me.

Switch It Up

One of my favorite parts about blogging is being exposed to different styles. It's amazing how women from all over the world have such distinct interpretations of fashion. 

Sarah, the blogger behind Classy Girls Wear Pears has the quintessential New England preppy style down to a "T." I love reading through her blog and bookmarking my favorite outfits, then using them as a loose guideline on days when I don't know what to wear. She had an amazing collection of Milly dresses and more button-ups than I can imagine.

I decided to do a style switch post taking some of my favorite outfits of hers and showing you how versatile they can be with a few changes!

{Jacket | Shoes | Necklace | Skirt}

With interesting basics like this sweater or these bermuda shorts, switching what you wear on one half can completely change your look. From preppy to edgy or bohemian.

{Sweater | Fur}

In this switch, changing the outer layer is everything! Good outerwear can make such an impact. Layering on a floral sweater is a fun mix of patterns, or add some faux fur for a luxurious look.

{Dress | Leather Pants | Boots}

Lastly, changing what you wear underneath vertain pieces can change your whole outfit. A lacy bodycon dress that shows above AND below a skirt is a fun play on proportions. Or add leather pants and boots to an oxford for a sexy "I-just-woke-up-and-look-this-good" vibe.

No matter your style, take a not from prepsters like Sarah. HEr collection and endless combo of classic pieces shows how valuable they are! Changing little details and adding new accessories can shift the entire feeling of a look. Play around with it!

Who are your favorite bloggers to draw inspo from?

Dressed up and took pictures with the roommate right before the sun set today.

I would like my outfit 100x better with opaque tights but mine had a huge run.
