HOW TO WEAR; skinny jeans

hey dolls :)

sorry about that random picture below...

So this is on a very requested topic- how to wear skinny jeans.



Skinny jeans are one of those trendy items this season. They go with virtually anything, and they can add a bit of style to almost any outfit. That being said, I've seen some pretty bad renditions of the skinny jean in my years...

Generally speaking, skinny jeans tend to look with more flowy tops, because they can help to add some definition to your figure



Megan Fox wears them with a nice simple flowy floral top, and see how cute it looks? Throw on a leather jacket, and you're set.




Here they're worn with some over the knee boots for an easy casual look. It's still fashionable though. There's a fine line :)

just a quick post for you guys while I avoid studying for finals... sigh

How to Wear: Belts

And now for the second installment!

I absolutely adore belts because they can transform a loose t'shirt into a trendy tunic with leggings, and add a certain 'umph' to a dress.























I'm feeling lazy today, so I'm just depending on Forever 21 for pictures and ideas :)

The chunky belt- pair it with a pretty frilly dress to create a statement, and then complete the look with some cage heels. This is a great example of how versatile belts are- you don't only have to wear them to hold your pants up!

The skinny belt- wear a skinny belt over a plaid (trend alert!) dress and then throw on a rolled-up boyfriend shirt. Kick on some booties to finish the look. I love this look because it's kind of 'country' but it's still fashionable at the same time!

The braided belt- wear it with a tucked in denim shirt and a high waisted skirt. High waisted skirts are very in right now, and the belt just adds a different kind of twist to them. You can also use peep toe booties here :)

How to Wear: the Sweater Dress

I've had a lot of you request that I create a collection on how to wear certain items, so here's the first installment: the sweater dress.





















What I adore about sweater dresses is that anyone can pull them off. You'll be able to find them at any major store- Forever 21, Macy's, H&M...the picture that I have above are actually from Gap, but I'm not sure if they still cary that exact style.

Choose your body type:
Pear (triangular upward)- to show off your nice figure, choose a well-fitting sweater dress. If it's too slouchy, it'll make you appear heavier. Pair the dress with some footless tights, and either pumps if the dress is long, or stiletto boots if it's shorter. If you think that the dress lacks definition, throw on a belt right underneath the bust. As for accessories, long necklaces tend to look better than shorter ones, but statement necklaces also look cute.

Hourglass (opposing triangles)- to accentuate your waist, choose a looser fitting sweater dress, and then cinch it at the waist with a cute belt. I like pairing tights with sweater dresses just because it makes the look appear much more composed. For shoes, stick with a trusty pair of cage heels or flats. For accessories, a simple statement necklace will do the job just fine.

Banana (rectangle)- Pair a medium fitting sweater dress (not too fitting, not too slouchy) with some footless tights. Add some high boots or stilettos. Accessories are what makes this look shine- bangle bracelets and long layered necklaces look amazing!
