ABC’s of Fashion! – D E F G

On with our ABC’s!

D if for Dress

I wasn’t really a dress girl up until a year ago. I always thought they added too much girly-ness to an outfit and that they were to complicated to wear. I. was. wrong. Dress are one of the easiest and most comfortable things to wear. If you don’t want to try to to put together an outfit with pants, a top and a sweater, just throw on a dress. One dress can make your whole look go from “I was running late” to “I look good”! Here are a few different dress styles to try out. experiment with different patters, colors, textures and unusual pairings to make it fit your own style and mood. My personal favorite is the wrap dress because it flatters your natural curves and hides the places you don’t want people seeing. It isn’t form fitting but you don’t lose your shape because of the waist cinching tie.

E is for Eye wear

I am super excited about this one! I have had glasses all my life (well since third grade) and I’ve had some really cool pairs. Only with my most recent pair I’ve really started to think of my glasses as an accessory as opposed to something I HAVE to wear when I run out of contacts. Sunglasses are included in this section but I feel like we are all pretty familiar with them and they don’t need much explaining. Eye glasses, however, are becoming more popular among those who don’t rely on them for actual sight. There are fake glasses being sold everywhere because people are starting to realize how much they can add to an outfit! The top picture are very close to the ones I currently own.

Spring Fever Denim Dress Outfit

Only in Wisconsin can you have all four seasons in one week…It was a much needed break from the cold depressing winter weather but I definitely have spring fever now! I decided to create a spring look since I went shopping this weekend and couldn’t help but look at all the new warm weather clothes. I actually went to a Boston Store discount outlet near my house. I love finding deals and saving money but with that comes stores that sometimes aren’t very shoppable. Especially discount stores. I was pleasantly surprised by this location; it was clean organized and had amazing deals! This was the outfit I created.

I love the casual look it has paired with the gradient of the denim. It’s soft and flowy but still has shape to it which is created by typing the belt at the waist. I paired it with an army green bomber jacket from Target. I wanted to give it a little bit of an edge which I think the jacket does very well. For accessories I played off of the jacket’s zipper which is a darker gold. I picked a necklace that is that same dark gold color but it also has a silver charm on it which plays well with the cooler look of the denim dress. Using both silver and gold in the necklace opens up many more options for the earrings. I made it cohesive by making sure to include a turquoise element just like the one found in the necklace.

For the purse and shoes I had a couple options. I have a light brown suede bootie for the cooler spring days. The only thing you need to make sure to do it waterproof your shoes! The melting snow and rainy weather is your shoe’s worst nightmare! For the warmer days I chose a strappy brown leather cork sandal. It makes summer feel that much closer, doesn’t it? For the purse I chose a faux leather brown over the shoulder purse with a tassel that brings in the elements of the necklace.

This outfit is perfect for a lunch with friends or even date night with your special someone! It gives off this cool girl vibe while still looking polished and put together.
