Fashion is the ultimate means of expression and a great way to show off your personal fashion staples while making your style unique. This Fashionista takes a classic look and shakes it up with a few key accessories.
High-waisted skirts and crop tops are a perfect pairing for summer. This fashion trend can be worn in a variety of ways to an array of occasions. This particular set can be dressed up with heels, an up-do, and statement jewelry pieces. You can also dress it down with a nice pair of flats, simple jewelry and odd-frame sunglasses like this Fashionista sported while out to dinner beachside in Delray Beach, Florida.
The high-waisted Forever 21 patterned skirt is the focal point of the first Fashionista’s outfit; this lightweight knit is flattering on many body types. The pale gray color is a fresh neutral for summer and the lace, floral design make it a contemporary and versatile piece. Paired with a solid black crop top, it can easily become your go to outfit for the season.
The simple jewelry ties the look together and adds a little sophistication while keeping the look simple. Small pieces like the single initial necklace and chic watch complete the outfit without being overwhelming when worn with the patterned skirt.
Turn this outfit from a daytime look to a “night out with the girls” look, by adding a bold lip color like Mac Viva Glam III and statement sunglasses. This Fashionista chose a pair of Quay sunglasses, and completed her look with beachy waves, which are best achieved by using a thick barrel iron. I personally use a Hot Tools 2” iron to create perfect waves.
Not into neutrals? Get your summer chic on with bold, printed pants and swap the simple initial necklace with a statement piece like the Fashionista on the right did. Either look is sure to turn heads!
