Style Of The Week With Alex



Hello again, everyone! Did you miss me? I am sorry to say that this will be my final style of the week because it is my last day here in the studio with Sumie. It has been an amazing summer, but the internship ends as my final year of school starts.

Speaking of which, that is this week's theme. The question I asked myself was, "How would I want to dress going back to school?" And my response is, "With an awesome punk school girl look, of course!"

The top I chose is something I consider a staple piece. I believe everybody needs one white blouse in their wardrobe that can be worn casually or professionally. This top fits the bill. It is super comfortable because of the fabric it is made out of, and you can get a variety of looks from the top due to it's sophistication and the attached neck tie.

To play it up a little, the vest was put on top. This vest is great because it can fit different chest sizes due to the strings in the front, or you can tie it in the back. I also love it because it is a really chic little vest, but it has a whimsical feel due to the button accent. Perfect for our punky school girl look.

Because no school girl look is complete with out a cute skirt this snake skin print skirt was perfect. The print overlay causes a hemline just above the knee which is short, but not too short. It is also slightly see through which means breathable and comfortable. Underneath is a polyester skirt, which is also a nice length, but again not too short... and thankfully not see through!

The accessories, of course, are the last things used to finish this weeks style. Remember the days when we were young, naive, and thought scrunchies were... dare I say fashionable? Thankfully, unlike scrunchies,  wristlets are the fashionable approach to a school girl look accessory. This piece is also made with a snake skin print that blends the accessory into the rest of the ensemble. We also have super cute ankle spats! Cute enough to go over any sock, or pair of flats you might wear in the fall, but adjustable for almost any size.

There you have it! Some of you may be going back to school this fall, while others may not. But it's never too late (or too early) to wear something fashionable to reminisce. I've had so much fun talking to you all this summer! I wish you the best in your future endeavors!

Sincerely,
"Alex"
