ALL IN THE DETAILS: When in Doubt, Add Chanel

Putting together an outfit is much like baking a cake, or cooking anything for that matter.  If one ingredient is off, the whole thing is probably ruined. Similarly, it doesn’t matter how cute your dress is; if you’re wearing the wrong bag or shoes, the look is ruined. The details or little things can’t be overlooked.

This Fashionista pays attention to every detail. I love how she mixes textures by layering a floral dress over a sheer lace T-shirt. The peek of graphic text is a fun touch. An overalls dress is an edgier alternative to a classic floral dress. I like how it’s more unexpected than than the bright floral styles that are common every summer. An overalls dress is also easier to wear than regular overalls since it’s more feminine.

This Fashionista accessorized her look with a quilted Chanel bag and sneakers.  You really can’t go wrong with a classic Chanel bag. I like the contrast of a classic bag with an edgier look like this one. And, I like how the neutral black accessories tone down the print. The sneakers keep the look effortless and sporty, and keep your feet happy during a long day of classes. You could easily switch out the sneakers for wedges or flats if you were meeting up with friends after class. Natural hair and makeup is also a must with a trendier look.

How To: Love this look? Try pairing an overalls dress with a lace top.  Finish the look with a Chanel-inspired quilted bag by Rebecca Minkoff.
