Simply Chic

Being chic does not always have to mean wearing a lot of jewelry, being in a dress, etc.  It can simply mean putting together something that is casual but classy.  In other words, a good look is not always complicated, it is most often simple.  Stores are packed with summer clothes, so don't forget to go shopping!  While the weather goes from cold to warm and back to cold again, various kinds of outfits are needed in your closet.  Lately, it has been humid, warm and breezy.  I have come up with an outfit that combines cold & warm and cloudy & sunny.  The outfit below can be worn to go shopping, walk around in the street, etc.  Basically, it is just casual wear.

• Lace blouse: Winners
• Turquoise shorts: Vintage Havana (my favorite brand!)
• Shoes: Gucci, The Baie
• Sunglasses: H&M
• Bracelet: Forever XXI
• Bow: I have no idea, although you can get many cute ones at American Apparel

Buttoning up the blouse and having transparent lace in the back makes the look more classy.

Stand Out

Clothing defines your personality.  I believe that the most important thing in clothes is whether or not they define you.  Sometimes, all you see in a crowd of people is a mob, where everyone looks the same. Furthermore, fashion magazines influence many individuals.  Although, they should be used for inspiration, not for copying.  Who says if something looks good on someone in a magazine, it will look good on you?  Choose and develop your own style and stand out of the crowd.  Wear what you love and make your own creations.

Here are the components of the outfit I put together. 

• Pink tank top: Brand: Splendid  Store: Style Exchange
• Blouse: Tommy Hilfiger
• Pants: American Eagle
• Sunglasses: Aldo
• Longchamps bag

I thought that this outfit would be a cute way of ending the spring season and starting the summer season.  Instead of wearing a light sweater over your shoulders, a blouse would be more original, especially with a nice pattern.

And finally, if the weather is cold outside, you can even wear the blouse on top.
