My Style: Funky Town

Today's Look:  was perfect for a summer day in Cali.  When I first saw this tribal-printed challis fabric jumpsuit, I thought of the 1970’s free-spirit fashions and vacation fun.  So when I began styling the piece, I wanted to showcase those characteristics.  The first accessory, that I knew would complement the jumpsuit, was the sunglasses.  Once I put those sunglasses on with the one-piece, I decided to channel my inner disco dancing queen.  Next, I chose the cutout wedges, which remind me of platforms that they would have worn back in the 70s but with an update of course.  For jewelry, I went more boho to bring out the relaxed silhouette of the wide leg pants.   I wore rustic silver with turquoise detailing necklace and ring, along with a wooden bracelet.  I truly had a blast wearing this outfit and I can’t wait for my next opportunity to rock this jumpsuit.  Hope you all had a wonderful Father’s Day weekend.  Xoxo, Shelly

Favorite Summer Trend: Rompers

Now that summer vacation has started and the weather is heating up, I can't help but NOT miss winter AT ALL.  I am so ready for blue skies, sunny days, and beach trips (to CA)!  Also, I am so ready to rock flip-flops, sunglasses, and, most of all, rompers!  This summer I am totally obsessed with rompers.  With a comfy fit, bright prints, and feminine vibe, how can anyone not love them?!  Below, I attached some of my favorites from CharlotteRusse.com.  Which one is your fave?  Honestly, I can't decide!  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: Timber

Today's Look:  is named after one of the catchiest songs out right now, "Timber" by Pitbull ft. Ke$ha.  This look was inspired by the staple piece, the belted sweater dress from Poof Apparel.  The dress is so soft and warm, while the belt is a beautifully braided brown that compliments the taupe.  I love how the dress fits like a glove and is such great quality.  When it arrived, I started styling it in my head right away.  To create a complete winter outfit, I styled the dress with my favorite southwest-inspired fringe cardigan and brown, heeled boots.  The boots and belt matched perfectly.  I accessorized with a vintage hiker's hat that my Great Uncle Terry used to wear in the 1970s.  I finished off the outfit with black opaque tights, tarnished-gold drop earrings, and two tarnished-gold rings.

 Fashion Tip:  When wearing a short dress in the winter, a coat, sweater, or cardigan are a must.  When styling the two together, matching the lengths of the pieces helps create a finished and fabulous look!

My Style: Birthday Girl

Today's Look:  celebrates color and fun in honor of my 20th birthday.  For the special occasion, I wanted something cute and edgy while of course involving pink (my favorite color). To start the look off, I chose the comic-book inspired tank top which features an array of colors that really stand out.  Since the tank top has cut-outs in the back and open-arms,  I wore a black cami underneath for coverage.  Next, I chose colorful platform heels that have a whimsical Aztec pattern, including an array of colors that match the tank top.  Trying to create contrast to the bold, bright top and shoes, I chose to go with loose, boyfriend jeans that I rolled up at the ankles.  It took me awhile to find the perfect pair, because often times boyfriend jeans aren't flattering.  So, instead of buying just any boyfriend pants, I chose a brand I like (Rock Revival) and bought a size bigger than I normally would in a low-cut, straight-legged pair. Finishing off the look, I chose a pink clutch, pink crystal stud earrings, an exotic bracelet, and two rings.

Fashion Tip:  Boyfriend pants paired with strappy stilettos, pointy heels, or platform pumps creates a chic-tomboy look.

My Style: Aztec Cut-Out Dress

Today's Look:  is all about the light purple, Aztec-inspired dress.  The dress is covered in an intricate design and includes cut-outs on the back.  To start the look off, I chose to compliment the black detailing on the dress by wearing my black, studded creeper shoes and backpack.  Next, to continue adding edge to a sweet, summer dress, I chose to accessorize with my black, spiked headband and bracelet, along with skull earrings..  Finishing off the look,  I chose to finish with a dash of charm by adding a heart pendant necklace, three rings, and a silver, bedazzled watch.

Fashion Tip:  When wearing an Aztec-inspired dress, rather than wearing other patterns within the outfit and causing congestion, accessorize the outfit with solid colors that accentuate the dress.

My Style: Camo Cutie

Today's Look:  is all about the current trend of Aztec-inspired clothing with bold, sharp designs and camouflage print that adds a tomboyish flare.  To start the outfit off, I picked out my high-waisted, camo shorts, and off-white Aztec tank.  The tank is not a crop top, so to show off the high cut of the shorts, I tucked in the top just enough to shorten its appearance, but still let it keep its loose fit.  To match the black-inked Aztec artwork, I wore black sandals and a black, fringed purse.  Finishing off the look, I wore a cross necklace, diamond-shaped chain earrings, two rings, and curled my hair to add a feminine touch.

Fashion Tip:  When wearing camo for fashion purposes, don't match the camouflage printed item with another green piece of clothing.  The end result looks too military or like hunting gear.  I included some camo selections below along with their links.
