Minimalism

Well my friends, it seems that my journey with minimalism has ended. I went a full month only wearing these clothes and it has been a difficult yet refreshing experience. I learned to be creative with my clothing and that I can live with only a few pieces and still be chic and stylish. Before, I would stare into my closet full of clothing and walk out thinking I have nothing to wear. But now I feel like I have a completely different closet with so many options.

I hope that you all have learned some things as well, and I hope I have inspired you to challenge yourself with your clothing.

On the other hand, I am very excited to go into the next chapter of my blog. I will not be doing another minimalist challenge any time soon, although I do plan to do another one in the future. I have some very exciting things in store, so be prepared to see my blog go to another level!

Fall for Summer

When I put together this outfit, I was thinking about fall. I’m in love with the warm colors and dark tones that are usually associated with that season. So why only wear them in November? Well, I broke the rules and made fall colors appropriate for summer.

Olive is one of my favorite colors to wear because it looks good with my skin tone, so these olive pants are a great staple in my wardrobe. A black tube top keeps it cool for summer and is super simple. I really like the way gold looks with the pants, so I added a gold belt and gold drop earrings. Whenever I wear my hair up, I like to wear more dramatic jewelry, but also more dramatic makeup. I did a wing eyeliner and swiped on an auburn lipstick. I love the way this outfit turned out, you can totally be inspired by different seasons. I’m so ready for fall!

By the way– I’m so tired of wearing the same clothes. How ready are you to see me in something different?? A few more days left and I will be done with my minimalist challenge!

One Piece, Four Outfits

The minimalist challenge I have decided to take has gone surprisingly well. So far, I have learned to be creative with the things that I wear, and I have had a lot of fun doing so. Today I decided to collage together four of the outfits I put together using the same top so you can all see how you too can put together multiple outfits using the same piece. Whether it’s dressy or casual, a simple piece can go a long way.

I have many more outfits to go and I hope you all keep reading my blog and continue to be inspired by the clothes I style.

Vintage Twist

One of my favorite things to do with styling is to add a vintage twist. For this outfit I wanted to mix modern and retro style. A maxi dress is an easy, modern piece that can be transformed easily. I add a lace top because it is an elegant and classic and has always been in style. The gold belt is perfect to cinch my waist to make sure I don’t look so boxy and the vintage inspired stud earrings are the perfect finishing touch.

Accessorize

Wearing a t-shirt and jeans is like wearing a blank canvas. The right accessories can make a simple outfit into something more interesting. I wanted to keep this outfit pretty simple so I added a thin gold belt and some retro gold earrings. This is super casual but with just the right amount of accessories to make sure its not boring. Accessories can make a huge difference, so I always make sure to add some to complete my outfit.
