Hi everyone!
Happy Friday! On the way home from school, I was ruminating on what I could write about (yes I know--lame). It occurred to me that fashion is truly the idea of harmony and balance. The most elegant and chic way that you can show off your figure is through the concept of balance. Just like you wouldn't wear a flowy top with a floor-length maxi skirt (at least in my book), the same applies for wearing a crop top with a bodycon skirt. The former can make you look frumpy, and the latter (in my opinion) looks rather too "teenage home-coming." I've come up with a little guideline that helps me discern what to wear with what.
Skirts
1) Maxi Skirt: Because these are long and "flowy", the best way to neutralize the looseness is to pair it with something a little tighter such as a fitted v-neck tee, or a classy crop top.
2) Mini Skirt: Believe me, mini skirts are CUTE. But be wary in this territory, it can easily go from classy to rave-y. I love the idea of pairing a mini with a button down shirt or oversized tee.
Jeans:
1) Boyfriend Jean: If you don't like the idea of wearing boyfriend jeans--I understand your discomfort. Boyfriend jeans can often be rather daunting to style. But just remember, think BALANCE. Unstructured bottoms means that you should wear a tighter top to keep from losing shape. See below.
Shirts:
1) Button-Up Blouse: This is a classic staple; fairly self-explanatory. Because the blouse is fairly loose, it's a good idea to extend the legs by wearing skinny jeans (unless you want to go for a more boho look) and shoes with a little heel if you're shorter. See below.
