Bohemian Edge

 

Wednesday’s are always the hardest day of the week, so I wanted to relax and wear something a bit more comfortable. I went for a bohemian vibe today.. with a little bit of an edge.

I put on my favorite skinnies and a black chiffon tank. Starting out with simple pieces is like starting off with a blank canvas, you can really do anything. Because of my school’s strict dress code, I had to wear a cardigan over my tank, which is no big deal because this flowy, lightweight cardigan I found at H&M is perfect. I actually wore this cardigan A LOT over the summer, and I love how versatile it is. To add an unexpected twist, I put on these gorgeous heeled gladiator sandals. I’m obsessed with the punk rock detailing, and they are actually extremely comfotable. I was so lucky to have found these $130 sandals at Urban Outfitters for only $29! They make every outfit look so much cooler.

Mixing styles is one of my favorite things to do, and it is so easy with the right pieces. Don’t be afraid to experiment with clothing and pair things together that you normally wouldn’t.

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!

Opposites Attract

Shorts and a tank top are a classic summer staple. It’s hot so it only makes sense to wear clothing that will keep you cool. I like to take a spin on the tank and shorts uniform and make it a little more fun. High waisted shorts are my favorite. They are flattering and comfortable and I like the retro vibe. I got a pair in a bright color to stand out. Anything snake print is always super cool, so I was instantly drawn to this tank. Pairing these two fun pieces together makes a fun, unexpected summer outfit. I threw on my espadrilles and put my hair in a bun and that was all!

I would wear this on days spent outside, to a theme park, or when I’m pretending to ride a bike. It will keep you cool from the heat and you’ll still look super cute! Sometimes things you wouldn’t normally pair together actually make a great duo, you just have to try it out.

Small Changes

I am in love with this outfit. Mostly because of the strap detailing on the back of this tank. But also the wonderful, summery print of these shorts. Yes, I have done a very similar outfit so far but I am liking this one a bit more. Changing a simple thing, such as adding a fun tank, can make all the difference on how an outfit looks. It wasn’t a huge change, I kept basically the same pieces, but you can see all of the difference in the way I look. It is a lot more flattering, and I instantly look dressed up. The eye is drawn to the print of my shorts in the front, but also to the straps in the back, making my outfit so much more interesting.

Sometimes a small detail in a piece of clothing can make a huge difference in how you look. I’m not saying that I don’t like the other outfit I styled with these shorts, but this is a bit more appealing and more ideal for when I want to be a little more dressed up.

Details are everything.
