Be Different Everyday

I have a confession. I have multiple personalities. I mean, multiple FASHION personalities. Although I just might have the other version too...

I don't think people ever have to stick with one style, whether it's City Chic, Preppy, Punk Rock, Coastal Casual, Urban, Downtown Oregon-ian (you know what that looks like), or naked. I mean why do people have to be classified under one category? I say, whatever you feel like wearing today, just WEAR IT. And wear it with confidence!

Check out two of my favorite (and very different) styles for a night out. Oh, and make sure you check out my brand suggestions under each photo!


SPARKLE TEE & RIPPED UP JEANS

Of course when you go out, you need to SHINE and stand out. But that doesn't mean you have to give up comfort either. I can literally sleep in jeans. I LOVE JEANS. Pair a sequined top and bold sparkly accessories with a beat up pair of skinny jeans or boyfriend jeans and you can impress without overdress....ing. I was trying to rhyme but that didn't work.

CLASSIC & SWEET

I'm not a delicate flower, but if I need to act lady-like when I'm out, then I'll put on my sweet little angel outfit. A simple blouse on top of a bold patterned skirt is an effortless way to create a feminine look. Plus the classic black heels and slightly simple accessories really add the right touch.



Top: Apt 9 (old) & Skirt: H&M (old), but try this combo with this Forever 21 blouse with this new Target Merona skirt.

Casual Chic

MY FAVORITE PAIR. NO. NOT THAT PAIR.

You know what I love besides cuddling up with my kitties with a nice glass of wine and my husband feeding me See's chocolate? (And yes, that never happens.) I love pairing feminine, chic items with really casual pieces. It's such an effortless look that beautifully combines pieces that in other worlds would be an oxymoron.

Ripped up jeans can look nice. Nice in a "I fell but I'm so cool looking no one noticed" kind of a way. But seriously, here's the ratio I like to stick with. When doing casual chic, dress it up in a 3:1 ratio (in order of casual to chic). Hopefully I'm using ratios correctly...

Dress up one casual piece (like a beat up pair of jeans, old sweater, plaid button-up, or plain white tee) with nice, feminine items (like a bright necklace, heels, silk, patterns, bright scarf, colorful belt, etc.). It really brightens up your outfit!
