Style Of The Week


Hello again, everyone!

Alex here, hoping everyone had a nice memorial day weekend! With summer approaching us, I decided to make this week's style a one that you could wear on a hot summer day. 

The top shown is a cute tank top with a leather bow embellishment. It is a great top because you can wear it with almost any bottom to achieve a dress-up or a casual look. Today's look is more casual, but as you can see from Caitlyn's blog post from earlier this top can be worn in a more sophisticated manner. 

The bottom is achieved using two pieces.

The skirt is a short skirt, which is great for hot summer weather. If you are a smaller size, you can also wear it lower on the hips for a dropped hemline. I chose the tutu to really demonstrate how much puff both skirts  really have.  This gives the outfit an overall playful look.

Finally, here are the accessories : 

People sometimes underestimate the power of accessories.  They can completely set the tone of your look. The corsage carries the theme of fullness like the skirts. The anklets finish the outfit because it is always great to have an option to dress up your summer flip-flops / sandals. 

Used in this outfit:

I hope you enjoyed this week's look! Just remember it is possible to look fashionable and stay cool in the summer heat. 

Sincerely, 
Alex
