Sun is out, fun is out! It’s time to fold up your sweaters and dust off your denim cut-offs to hit the streets looking fresh and chic.
This Fashionista was out enjoying the sunshine in a perfect warm weather outfit. What I love about this outfit is that she has transformed a beach look into a cool urban outfit by grounding the lighter colors with black accents. The black and white patterned kimono has an urban bohemian feel that ties the stark black accessories together with the lighter pieces. The vintage denim cut-offs and the white eyelet lace top are essential warm weather pieces that can be dressed up and down. The key piece in the outfit that pulls it all together is the black hat. It rounds out the outfit by tying the Birkenstocks, bag, patterned kimono and sunglasses all together around the lighter base pieces.
Colorful accessories like her woven and beaded bracelets, and beach glass and crystal necklace also help to tie together the outfit because they focus attention back to the bohemian roots of the outfit. It’s all about balance and making sure that the outfit feels right for you. This Fashionista has done an excellent job styling the outfit for summer in the city. This outfit is perfect for class, lunch at a hip urban restaurant or en route to the ocean.
How To: For this Fashionista’s look, make sure to pick base items that tell the same story. For example, the denim cut-offs and eyelet lace top say, “Beach.” Then see how you can change the story by incorporating other items that contrast with the base pieces; the chic black hat and graphic kimono do this well. This will create a look that is unique to your personality. Furthermore, when styling the outfit, I encourage you to play with different accessories to see how they change the feeling of the overall vibe. After all, getting dressed is fun!
