STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Shifty Shapes

What could be trendier than a delicate monogrammed necklace? Perhaps a fabulous graphic shift dress! The trend of summer 2015 has most certainly been the shift dress. They are easy to thrown on and are perfect for a casual work outfit, vacation getup or summer school staple.

This Fashionista stood out as put together and effortless by wearing a patterned A-line shift dress. Her unique personality lent itself to her rare dress that she had picked up from a consignment boutique. However, a similar dress is fairly easy to locate, even with the high neckline—a ‘70s throwback that is growing in popularity. Just pick out a shift dress with a bold print and you can perfectly emulate this Fashionista’s look. To bring some of the attention away from the colorful pattern of the dress and back to her neckline, the Fashionista added a quaint initial bar necklace. She had a pair of small studs in, which complemented the cool tones of her ensemble. To tone down her look and achieve a bohemian vibe while she was on vacation, she wore thick strapped Rainbow Sandals. They seem to be a standard element to any beach babe’s look, which is bound to continue on forever.

Altogether, this Fashionista was cool, comfortable and casual. She was ready to exchange her look for a cute swimsuit, but was on-trend with her shift dress as the main focus of her look while her accessories made the dress into an outfit.
