I feel like this season more than ever, I’ve been really open to trying out different trends. It just seems like a lot of the popular statement making pieces thus far have been right up my alley, and it’s been very easy to incorporate them into my current wardrobe. Honestly, every item in this look can be classified as “on-trend,” so let’s just start from the top and work our way down, shall we? Vibrant colors were HUGE this fashion month, so much so that even neon made a come back! Designer brands like Prada incorporated a variety of these shades into their recent designs, with green seeming to lead the pack. For me personally, I like to find pieces that fit the mold without being so trend specific that they can’t be worn once they’re no longer “in style.” Because I’m not the biggest fan of neon, I opted for a chartreuse turtleneck that was just as bold and eye-catching. To compliment this minimal top, I chose a textured snake print mini skirt that served as the perfect neutral. While that statement may be hard to believe, there’s not much that animal prints can’t be paired with as they all usually tend to incorporate shades of black, brown, & occasionally grey. To finish up the look I chose to add stark white accessories instead of my usual darker pieces. (FUN FACT: I bought this clutch in college and it’s made an appearance on my website every year since I’ve started blogging.) With the colder months slowly approaching, I love the idea of including lighter colored items into my Fall/Winter ensembles, aside from the typical black boots and bags. These sling-backs were so interesting to me and the round wooden heel really helped to pull the warm tones out of the skirt and balance the look. To play off of the silver hardware, I threw on my favorite pair of geometric earrings and a pair of clear frames for an extra cool factor. This was definitely one of my more fun looks that really just made me…happy! The vibrancy truly uplifted my mood and made me feel like risk-taking rockstar that could conquer the fashion world– slightly extreme, but you get the point, lol. Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried, or are interested in trying any of the trends discussed and list your favorite. Until next time!

Though I’m typically not the biggest fan of over-exposed trends in regards to specific looks or individual pieces, I don’t mind making an exception if I feel like I can add my own twist and make the look representative of my personal style. That being said the sports-luxe trend doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon and these contrast side panel trousers, which in my opinion are one of the most popular items for this particular style, can be found almost EVERYWHERE. Though I did like them, I was hesitant to get the typical wide-legged version with buttons down the sides because I felt that they were a bit too casual and would go out of style a lot sooner. Luckily, after a bit of patience and research, I came across a more tailored option that I felt could be worn in more versatile settings in addition to just being trendy. I’m so happy I waited because I found that these pants serve as a great alternative for work as well as play. I also tend to prefer the option of dressing a more sophisticated garment down, than trying to dress up a casual piece—it just seems easier to me. In efforts to give my bottoms that “cool girl edge,” I found a slogan tee that could convey my playful vibe. Though I could’ve opted to go a more upscale route, I wanted to keep the look fairly effortless and carefree. Another ongoing trend from last year that seems to be taking the fashion world by storm is adding pops of bold colors. Red accessories have appeared to be the most prevalent and though I was initially leaning towards a pair of booties, these patent kitten-heel sling backs provided the perfect classic feminine touch that were unlike any pair of heels I currently own. Given the cooler temperatures that have started to become more consistent recently, it was a no-brainer for me to reach for my cropped leather jacket as an added layer. Finally, though the day was a bit gloomy, I added my round white sunnies to complete this look. I was definitely pleased with how this ensemble turned out despite being an extremely popular street-style look at the moment. While I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself and avid follower of trends, I don’t shy away from looks especially if I feel like they fit in with my wardrobe aesthetic.
