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!

 Sometimes it's hard to get caught up in the whole fashion world." Always wanting the next Alexander Wang "Rocco" bag or Loubies. But fashion doesn't have to break the bank! In fact one of my favorite bloggers, Kimberly, has an entire blog dedicated to this! If you shop smart you can score amazing pieces at great prices. 

Jenn, from The Stylish Housewife, and I decided to challenge ourselves and create an entire outfit under $100. This is harder than it sounds but I love how my outfit turned out! (Keep reading for her outfit). The blazer was a steal (H&M always has great deals) and the shoes were on major discount (DSW and outlets are GREAT for shoe/bag shopping). I love all these pieces and you'll probably see them a lot in the coming months! Have you ever taken the $100 challenge?

I love Jenn's outfit (especially that top). Don't forget to check out Jenn's post and see the rest of her outfit/details here!

Travel Style {Maxi Dresses}

{Teal: Nasty Gal | Black Cutout: LA Made |Striped: Shopbop | Double Slit: Nasty Gal | Black Tank: ASOS}

Hi loves!

So, yesterday was the first week of classes for me. Back to the grind after a nice and relaxing winter break, but I'm excited about the classes I'm taking!

As some of you may know, my roommate and I are traveling to Florence next fall to study there for four months. We had our first orientation class last night and it has me SO EXCITED! I still cannot believe it.

One thing I thought of right away was my airport outfit. I need something comfy for 20 hours of traveling, but I have to be fashionable (I will be going with 50 other fashion students). So a long maxi dress seemed like the perfect option.

Add a sweater for the airport and this outfit is so simple and cozy, yet chic. These are some of my favorites. Which one should I get?

Snow Leopard Print

{Phone Case | Sweater | Dress (on sale!) | Hat | Pants}
{Blazer | Booties | Blouse | Dress | Socks}
The other day my Mom pointed out to me that I could probably wear an outfit entirely composed of leopard printed pieces. I guess you could say I have a bit of an obsession. And as a girl who wears mostly neutral colors, I love adding animal print into my outfits to give a kick. As spring rolls around I'm looking for a bit of a change—snow leopard. The sleeker counter part to normal leopard, this is going to be a favorite of mine.
Most of these pieces are under $50 and a lot of them are on sale. You have to be careful with leopard—stay away from skin tight pieces which can look cheap or unflattering. But don't be shy to adding this pattern into your wardrobe! It's a classic, after all.

Don't forget about the Eyeko giveaway! Enter here.

Switch It Up {Accessories Make A Difference}

{Outfit One | Jacket: Vintage | Chambray Shirt: Thrifted (Similar Here)* | Pants: Macy's (Similar Here)* | Boots: Gabes (Similar Here)* | Earrings: Little Black Bag}

Sometimes it amazes me how accessories can really direct the feel of your outfit! Today I decided to show you the same outfit styled two different ways. 

First, a bit more rocker boho with the boots and earrings. Then a bit more dressy and chic with heeled boots and sparkly jewelry. 

This is a great way of taking an outfit from day to night, or switching up the way you wear some of your favorite pieces! 

{Outfit Two | Shoes: Candies from Kohls (Similar Here)* | Choker Gem Necklace: Charming Charlie | Long Necklace: Glam Grab | Earrings: Target (Similar Here)* }

Tumblr Crush Thursday

Hi beautiful readers. Today I have a few inspiring pictures for you from my Tumblr! I hope you love the glamorous feel from this week like I do! 

In the week of December 10th I was crushing on:

 I've been having a real craving for designer shoes lately. More than normal. How could any girl NOT after watching this video?! YSL's and Loubies...come home to me. 

 If you don't recognize this quote, you need to watch Pride and Prejudice. The Kiera Knightly version. I saw it for the first time a few weeks ago and I was immediately smitten. Reading the book is on my Christmas-Break-To-Do list. 

 How gorgeous is this dress! I'm craving fancy party outfits. And of course, champs. My favorite drink of all time. Especially with strawberries. Even the cheap stuff makes you feel fancy, ya know?

All red outfits and bed head hair. Some of my favorite things. Wishing I could wake up looking half as gorgeous as either of these girls. 

What are you loving this week? Do you have any more suggestions of books I need to read over break?  I'm a book worm at heart. 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Bows Over Bros

A few days ago one of my friends texted me with an Instagram picture of these tights, begging me to find them for her. So I did! 

One thing that my readers may not know about me is that I love to shop online! Friends and family often come to me if they need to track down a specific present or item. I love doing this, finding the exact piece someone was looking for. (Email me at cassiedulworth (dot) hotmail (dot) com if you want me to help you out!)

Anyways, I thought that these were too good to not share with you all. Worn under a skirt the bow detail will be a cute touch popping out! I think these would make me happy even if nobody else could see it!

Madewell has some really cute tights as well if you are looking!

Art of Contrast

Hi babes. So. The weekend before Thanksgiving I had a fun event to go to here at school (and those do not come often). If you follow me on Instagram (@CassieDulworth) then you saw the picture I snapped when I was playing dress up in Kate's closet, trying to find something to wear. 

We had the Art of Contrast Fashion Show, the biggest show our Fashion Student Organization puts on every year. The theme was "around the world" and everyone picked different countries to be inspired by!

Kate designed a dress, Taylor modeled it and I was a judge! It was so entertaining to see how we all got involved in different ways. 

I love love loved the show! Some of the designers at my school are so incredibly talented, it blows my mind. These are so people to be looking for in the next few years!
Thanks to Kendall, the FSO president, for asking me to judge and everyone else who made the show a smash!

The winning collection was inspired by Greek Goddesses. The photos don't even come close to capturing the amazing detail and beauty of these three dresses. 

This dress was handmade in Paris, by Kendall, the FSO president. It's incredibly detailed when you see it closely. 

A british collection! Love.

Some fabulously dressed show-goers!

This is Kate's dress. It was inspired by Brazil and the big bunch on the front is a "turban." Gorg right?!

All in all the show was a blast! I love any excuse to dress up and wear heels, plus it's always so rewarding to support my school and the fabulous fashion program we have. 

What do you think of the pieces? And what did YOU do last weekend?
