Montana is known for its crazy weather. The temperatures are rising, but that doesn’t always mean sunshine. With summer on the horizon, you can expect rain and lots of it. So what do you do on those chilly, rainy days? Surrender to the elements? No way! Just because the sun isn’t shining, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t!
While walking around campus, I spotted this Fashionista amid a sea of dark and neutral tones. Gloomy weather can get you down, but remember that you don’t have to match the color of the sky. Don’t be afraid to stand out when everything else blends in.
This Fashionista doesn’t let a little rain put a damper on her style. Instead of reaching for a raincoat, she opts for a floral-printed denim jacket to fight the chilly air. To get the look, go for fun, printed denim or make it your own with patches and tie-dye. The possibilities are endless!
When it comes to color, this look is all about combinations. Instead of choosing a neutral palette for her accessories, this Fashionista goes for pretty pops of pastel and bright yellow to set off a mix of light and dark denim. She keeps the pastels coming with a pretty, pink flat and watch to tie together the pastel prints on her jacket.
Spring is still here, but this Fashionista’s yellow cross-body bag screams summer! Adding an explosion of color to her look, the softer pastel tones act as a neutralizer to an attention-grabbing yellow. To pull off this color mixing, pair a pastel with an intense hue to stand out from the crowd.
How To: Mix, mix, mix! Combine light and dark denim for a classic foundation and accessorize with a combination of soft pastels and bright, summer tones. For a bit of DIY fun, try your hand at customizing your denim with patches, bleach or paint.
