BLUSHING BOWS

June 6, 2017 2 Comments

I can’t believe it’s already June! Whether it feels like it most days or not, I was determined to shoot some fun Summer looks and I don’t think I could’ve picked a better set of pieces to start with. I bought this blush romper a few months ago and still can’t get over how stunning it is! Everything from the color, to the trumpet sleeves, and super feminine bow detailing made me feel like the prettiest girl in the world as soon as I put it on. As the weather heats up, dressing becomes more of a hassle so rompers have always been one of my go-to garments for the season. While this particular piece can easily be dressed up or down, I chose to go the formal route and pair it with one of my favorite nude, heeled sandals. Another perk that comes with summertime are the endless outdoor activities. That being said, carrying giant tote bags and purses all day can be annoying so I live for a good backpack. Crochet is a huge trend for this time of year, so when I saw this backpack in all its glory I knew it had to be mine! Though tiny, it can definitely hold all of the essentials and it’s neutral color allows it to be paired with absolutely everything! Another trend I’ve been seeing a lot lately is the pairing of pink and red. While I’ve still been trying to figure out the best way to execute this for my personal style, I decided to dabble in it by finishing this look off with a bright red lip that, to my surprise, didn’t look half bad. Being a style blogger, I post A LOT of outfits and while I may never be able to choose one favorite, I can definitely say this look is probably in my top 5. I absolutely love how girly, yet chic this ensemble is and look forward to recreating it whenever the opportunity arises. Let me know in the comments below how you feel about the trends I’ve mentioned and which is your favorite. Until next time!

It’s no secret that I love having elements of contrast in my outfits and this look was no different. While I chose to stick with a very feminine, blush and nude color palette, the pieces themselves are quite different. The first item that caught my attention was this beautifully structured, accordion, midi skirt. I was mostly intrigued because upon first glance it appears to be a very dainty and “girly” piece, but it’s texture is surprisingly that of a more rigid fabric (quite similar to how I think of myself lol). Next, I was on the hunt for a top! I wanted to find something that meshed well with the skirt, but at the same time wasn’t so harsh to the point where it determined the color of my accessories; needless to say, this light peachy/cream blouse was perfect. Aside from the color, the lace detail on the sleeves brought a soft and elegant detail that nicely complimented the bottom half of the look. Because I ended up with a fairly monochrome ensemble, I had a lot of different ways I could have finished off this look; but I chose to end it subtly with nude heels and a matching cross-body bag. I am a huge fan of styling simple looks that require minimal effort, but have eye-catching detail, so that the clothes and the person embodying them constantly make a statement. I’d be lying if I said this look wasn’t yet another favorite…Until next time!

This Spring/Summer, I have decided to commit to the color blush. To be honest, I kind of surprised myself when I came to this realization because I am a very anti-pink type of girl. However, there’s something about this soft nude-ish hue that I really can’t get enough of, and I’m proud to say it! Below are some of the pieces that have stood out to me lately. Happy shopping!
