Sometimes I wish I could wake up and have my outfits ready to go, but as we all know, fashion isn’t that simple. However, this Fashionista’s look and style advice made getting dressed seem a whole lot easier. One of the biggest worries in accessorizing or matching outfits is figuring out how to wear a pattern while still matching. When I spotted this Fashionista looking stylish and put together, I knew I had to ask her what her secret was.
Lo and behold, her advice was easy to follow, she just enjoyed wearing simple items. Spotted in an ikat pattern and white shorts, her outfit was something I could (and would) easily emulate. The key was the small details that took the outfit from casual to chic; a transition that is necessary to perfect when deciding on outfits for summer. Her printed top featured ties with tassel ends, which she purposefully left untied, adding a boho element to her look. In addition, she followed up with two staples which every Fashionista should have in their closet: pearls and a black cross-body bag. You can’t go wrong with either and they match everything.
Like this Fashionista said best, classic items match everything and time old traditions never go out of style. So along with this Fashionista, my tip for this week is to spend some time stocking your closet with fashion favorites. My classic favorites are a leather jacket, black and white T-shirt and a great pair of denim jeans though these are more suited to my dark and edgy style. To match a preppy and chic style like this Fashionista, try buying some tailored shorts, a nice pair of pearls and a cross-body bag with a simple shape and color.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I like classic things…especially when it’s hot outside, I don’t want to have to worry about matching prints. It’s easier to get dressed that way.”
