Throwback Thursday

NEWSFLASH: Velvet is totally making a come back! Recently my mom bought me a velvet top and told me that it reminded her of the 90’s, so I decided to do some research. I came across some pictures from the 90’s of fashion icons Drew Barrymore and Winona Ryder wearing velvet and they’re totally rocking it!

You can keep it subtle like I did and just wear a velvet top with some jeans, or go all out with a velvet dress or some velvet leggings with a rocker tee and some combat boots. When it comes to velvet, the options are endless!

Faux Yeah!

When I got this faux fur jacket for Christmas from my mom I nearly cried tears of joy, I’m obsessed. I always have one item in my closet that I treasure like it’s my own child and this is definitely that item at the moment. Fur is totally trending right now and I highly recommend adding some of it to your closet! Faux fur jackets aren’t always the cheapest but I was able to find a few that won’t make you go completely bankrupt here, here, and here.

Until next time!

Stay on Top

This summer is all about crop tops. There are many different options when it comes to crop tops like short crop tops as well as longer versions.

If you don't want to show off too much skin try pairing your crop top with longer shorts or pants. I like to wear mine with my boyfriend jeans, which gives the outfit a more edgy look.

Being someone who gets cold easily, I like to keep a flannel or jacket with me, but carrying it around can be annoying. Tying it around your waist adds a little something extra to your outfit.

G is for Go For It!

Something that I enjoy doing when putting together an outfit is mixing patterns. Some people think that mixing patterns is a no-go, but I say go for it! Who says you always have to match perfectly?

Mixing patterns is very popular right now, but there are a few guidelines you should follow because you don’t want to look like a crazy person. The easiest way to mix patterns is to choose patterns from the same color family. Another easy way to mix patterns is to choose patterns that compliment each other, like florals and stripes. Mixing patterns is a lot of fun, and it will make you look at pieces in your closet in a different way.

I told you that this wouldn’t be the last of this jacket! This time, I decided to pair it with a flannel for a more casual, everyday look.
