So when it comes to summer fashion, I am in love with everything colorful and printed. This summer, my goal is to step out of my fashion comfort zone and try some styles that I usually would not wear. I am officially starting my summer by following my bucketlist and expanding my fashion horizons. If you want a style challenge for the season you can make your own lis or go ahead and try some of my ideas below!
1. Forever mix matched.
Something I have been trying to have a relationship with is mixing prints. My number one goal is to try doing this without the outfit clashing. This picture is my first try and I decided to match the polka dots of the cross on my shirt with the polka dot shirt. I really wanted to make this outfit exciting and a tad of a different time era, so I paired it with a different color heel as a fun look! I really love how bright this combination is and it screams youth and fun for sure. This is one of my favorites for sure!
2. When high waisted shorts and crop tops take over.
3. Go fringe or go home.
Fringe is something that can look amazing and effortless like a bohemian goddess. Sadly, it can also make you look like you tried way too hard. The key to fringe is to make it that main focus of the outfit. If you go overboard with accessories, it just won't look right. The top that I have on has daisy straps and lining across the top of the shirt that adds a perfect makeshift accessory (FYI- Daisies have been hitting store racks everywhere, keep an eye on this upcoming trend!). I continued bucketlist #2 with the high waisted shorts just to keep this look a little conservative since the fringe is the main focus. Since the top is black, I was able to spice it up with patterned shorts instead of solid ones!
4. Black is always the new black.
So there we have it! These are my favorite trends and ideas for summer 2014 and I know it will be the most glamorous summer ever. I am so anxious to try these new looks and make a splash. Tell me what look was your favorite or what's on your fashion bucketlist this summer! Have a fabulous weekend!
