Being home for the holidays—what can be better? Seeing your family, catching up with hometown friends, and running into your old high school crush. Sure, it’s been a few years, but you can still feel the spark! You end up making plans to go to lunch at a casual café in town. Immediately, you start planning your perfect look: one that is understatedly chic and seems completely effortless.
My favorite color of 2016 was the dusty rose shade of pink, and it is surely here to stay. This color is still popping up all over the fashion scene at the start of 2017, and it goes perfectly with the dreamy winter sky. Another huge trend from the past year was denim skirts, and they are definitely a garment that will not be leaving our campuses just yet. This Fashionista wore a beautiful light pink denim skirt and styled it with a unique patriotic, fringed shawl. My favorite part of this look is the way this Fashionista tied up the shawl, which I found so clever and interesting. The knotted shawl added such a wonderful statement and point of interest in the outfit, and I am still obsessing.
Suede booties are always a perfect way to dress up any look while still keeping it pretty comfortable and casual. In my opinion, they can pull any look together and take it to another level. Cross-body bags are also essential when going out, as they are the perfect size to carry all of the necessities you will need on your date. This Fashionista added her own personal flair with her ankle bracelet, which I think fit her personality perfectly!
From top to bottom, this outfit is perfect for a lunch date in your tiny hometown. This Fashionista’s look is pulled together without trying too hard, which is perfect for the occasion. If her outfit was any indication of how her date went, I am sure it was a success!
