SPRING HAS SPRUNG!

So, this season there are three things that are in.

ONE- Maxi Dresses/Long skirts
I previously posted something on maxi dresses alone because I was so excited that I had found them for ten bucks lol. but long flowy skirts are in also.  Think hippie, I like to pair the skirts with a cut off shirt that shows a little bit of belly with some gorgeous wedge or platform heels, Jessica Simpson has some reasonably priced ones. Retailers have them popping out in bold prints and solid colors as well. Don't forget to accessorize!

TWO- White from head to toe
White is such a great color, it is a sign of cleanliness and purity, and not to mention it looks dashing against a caramel tan! But this season we're not just seeing it in accessories like last spring, but also in a full wardrobe!
a beautiful white summer dress with white wedges/flats white purse and chunk bangle to dress it up. For a casual take on the trend a white V-neck with white jean shorts (one of my faves) with some white convers and white leather bracelets! easy eh? add some white shimmered eye shadow to your bottom lid and don't forget the inner corners for a nice eye popping enhancement.

THREE- Pairing patterns
Ok, so I admit that even I still am having trouble with this one, hey I'm still a rookie.  But I think I get the Jist of it. So I'm sure the steps of this trend is to have two pieces with a print, one with a small patterned print and the second with a bigger more bold print, but they both have to have the same color scheme. let me see if i can get a picture...


 pretty no? but as I said, you have a big bold pattern (stripes) paired with a smaller pattern (pants)
and also staying in the same color palette. I think you can do like black, white and red though or instead of red a nice navy blue. if you come up with something fab let me know so I can post it!

currently listening to: Dido - Thank you

So, have you guys been searching for your maxi dresses? the bolder the better cause then you don't have to accessorize as much (see previous post for importance). I haven't really worn anything worthy of alerting the media in the past days ha. but what I do have to say is that for days like today where it rained and then the sun chose to make an appearance, something that's easy to transition into either climate is a long sleeve button down shirt. self-explanatory lol. if you'd already thought of that, im sorry it took me a while haha.
next post is on whats in for spring!

Maxi Dresses

ARE TOTALLY IN!
it's ok if your short (marci, mellisa<3)
like me, all you do is have them tailored to your wittle height haha. so like i said in my most recent post, i bought this pale green maxi dress...i ended up going back to forever 21 and buying two more in yellow and olive green (both of these colors bring out any tan that you may have) *cough* marci. lol. so they can be paired with infinite things because they are so plain you can make them your own.  One thing that i love to do is give each color a look. my pale green was sort of chic/glamorous, this olive green one that im wearing today is sort of like bohemian so i let my hair down, didn't brush it so it would be in pieces and just put a simple necklace on with a fedora and my black rainbows and BAM
total cuteness. they can also be paired with some cute wedge heels, also saving you the ten bucks that you'll have to pay to have them hemmed and a whole bunch of bangles with a loose effortless braid!

on another note, i hope that you ladies (and gentlemen) will never hesitate to ask if you ever feel you need my help with your wardrobe!
you'll never know the awesomeness we can both come out with to have you dazzle the world
