My Style: Neutrals & Denim

T

he beauty of neutrals can be appreciated when enjoying natural surroundings.  Although I love deep burgundies and blacks, I am opening up to some lighter colors as spring approaches.  For my third #CharlotteLook (head-to-toe Charlotte Russe outfit), I styled a soft, over-sized, high-low sweater with shredded jeans that I rolled at the ankle, and the prettiest, distressed brown booties.  To accentuate the boots' gold accents, I added a gold bag and gold cross pendant necklace.  As I said in my previous post, I'm trying to experiment more with my hairstyles and had fun with a half top knot.  I'd love to hear what hairstyles you are liking for winter going into spring.  Have a wonderful Friday.  TGIF!  Xoxo, Shelly

My Style: White Converse & Crop Sweater

Today's Look:  mimics the sassy, casual style of the 1960s with white Converse sneakers, white skinny jeans, and a striped sweater.  In order to avoid being too preppy, I added some updates.  The striped sweater is a crop-top and the jeans are shredded, not to mention the backpack is embellished with spikes and studs.  Some of my readers gave me positive feedback on showing my artwork, so once again I had fun sketching.

My Style: Walk Like an Egyptian

Today's Look:  emphasizes the bright gold of an Egyptian-motif top and edgy, shredded skinny jeans.  First, I chose the sweatshirt for light warmth on a sunny winter day and black jeans.  Next, I chose black, strappy cut-out ankle boots, and gold rimmed aviators.  Finishing off the look and to bring attention to the gold detailing on the top, I wore a gold watch, gold bedazzled bracelet, two gold rings, and gold pyramid-shaped earrings.

Fashion Tip:  Ripped and shredded jeans add a cool, grunge vibe to any outfit.  The distressed detailing makes a look more casual and edgy.

My Style: What a 10 Looks Like

Today's Look:  includes a sassy graphic-tee, edgy ankle-boots, and a pair of ripped skinny jeans.  To start the look off, I first chose the baseball-cut top.  The t-shirt has black quarter length sleeves and features the saying "THIS IS WHAT A 10 LOOKS LIKE."   Next, to match the tomboyish vibe of the top, I chose ripped jeans.  Now, instead of going the typical converse-and-ponytail route that many girls would, I chose to add some city chic to the look.  I chose taupe, gold-chained wedge ankle-boots, a sleek black clutch, and sharp dark sunglasses.  Finishing off the look, I wore two rings, a gold infinity bracelet, and taupe hoop earrings.
