Print on Print: Combining Two Statement Prints in One Outfit
Proenza Schouler T-shirt similar here, Assymetrical Skort Forever21, Heels Zara ON SALE, Earrings Vintage I have to confess this post/outfit may be a new favorite. Perhaps its because it uses one of my favorite yet difficult shirts that happens to be designer find, or maybe its the bold blue background that I am slightly in love with. The most likely guess is I do happen to love wearing prints yet I do not mix them enough and I think its because I, like all of you, worry about ending up looking like a hodge-podge piece of upholstery which is a fate worse than death.

BRANDED: Wearing Designer Names without Bringing Back the Early 2000’s
Kenzo Sweatshirt Here, Printed Topshop Trousers Similar Here, Backpack Aimee Kestenberg, Sunglasses Forever21, Shoes Zara Juicy, Coach, any major designer with a logo: We all remember our branded early 2000’s where you screamed your fashion loyalty all over your monogrammed outfit.

Pants Zara Sale Here, Denim Shirt Here, Necklace Forever21, Backpack Aimee Kestenberg, Sunglasses Forever21, Shoes Zara (old) Mint, not just for your Julip anymore. Like the ice cream and our favorite breath freshener, mint has been around for over 2 years and doesn’t seem to be loosing any steam as one of the hottest colors around. Just recently jumping on the color bandwagon after living in an all black & white for several years I finally got around to adding some pieces in this lovely shade to my wardrobe courtesy of one of my favorite events, the Zara Summer Sale. I had my eye on these trousers since they appeared…

How to Wear an Embellished Statement Jacket
Zara Jacket *sold out, Blouse Forever21 (this one is a staple!) , Trousers similar here, Heels in Black here Answer: Keep the rest simple. I absolutely love this fringed/sequin Zara jacket and it took me over a month to stalk it and get it in my closet as it sold out so fast. Then I encountered a problem: I loved this fantastic statement piece but it didn’t go with anything. Period. As a girl who loves her statement pieces (jewelry and jackets mostly, occasionally a very loud trouser) I reverted back to the best advice you can have when dealing with such a loud piece: Let the statement (jacket in this…
