My Style: School Girl

Today's Look: is about channeling my inner "Gossip Girl," styling like I'm ready to attend the Constance Billard School for Girls in New York City's Upper East Side with Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen.  The only difference is what I like to call "prepster grunge"--styling with a little edge.  Having fun with your fall fashion is what it's all about.  I love this ivory open-knit sleeveless sweater worn with a plaid mini skirt and over-sized black blazer.  Adding a classic choker layered with a pendant necklace and black tights with high platform booties combines the perfect touch of grunge styling.  A little burgundy lip color doesn't hurt either :)  I hope you're loving fall; I'm finishing up intense projects for my college courses.  Wish me luck!  Xoxo, Shelly

Beauty Tip:  Lately, I've loved Kylie Kardashian's lipsticks.  To capture the full lip look like Kylie, I filled in my lips with Lotus Berry lip crayon by Carmindy & Co. and outlined my lips with Cinnamon Swirl lipstick by No. 7.  

Absolutely loving my new laptop skin from CaseApp.com!  The best part is I got to design it.  You can design your own skin or phone case too.  With the holidays around the corner, a customized phone case or skin makes a perfect holiday gift.  ♥

            

            

My Style: Mustang Sally

Today's Look:  includes a knitted horse print sweater, denim short overalls, knee highs, and cut-out ankle boots.  It was a warm, sunny winter's day, so I thought it would be fun to wear shorts with thigh-high socks.  To start the look off, I chose the cut-off overalls and horse print sweater.  Since I've grown up in Arizona, I'm used to cowboys, ranchers, and farmers.  I, however, am allergic to animals and a city girl at heart, so with this outfit I had fun wearing overalls and horses since it's about as close as I will ever get to being a cowgirl.  To match the sweater, I chose thick, knitted, thigh-high socks and chunky ankle boots.  Finishing off the look, I wore heart-shaped, peace sign, dangle earrings, round sunglasses, two rings, and a black studded backpack.

Fashion Tip:  Overalls have been around since the 1700s with most worn by workmen, but these days cut-off overalls or "shortalls" are a modern twist on the old classic. Definitely sexy, tomboy chic!
