ALL IN THE DETAILS: Mixin’ it Up

It’s crazy to think about how many different types of styles there are. You can be bohemian, preppy, chic, punk, artsy, flamboyant and so many more. However, if we stop and think about our own personal style, we are rarely ever confined to a single category. There is no one out in the world exactly like you, and therefore I believe we each have our own branded style.  So, how do we express these differences among ourselves when we can all buy the same dress from a store?  Well, that is why it is all in the details. Ten Fashionistas can buy the same exact skirt and it will look entirely different on each one of them. Some Fashionistas will pair that skirt with a button-down while others will throw on a rocker T-shirt. These fashion choices make us unique and are endless in possibilities. This is why we can use our style to express who we are and differentiate ourselves from everyone else in the world.

This Fashionista’s choice of dress is already a testament to her own personal style. The exotic preppy Lilly Pulitzer dress stands out on its own not only with the bright color, but also with the highly detailed embroidery. The mix of the highlighter pink and orange is a combination can be difficult to pull off, and this Fashionista is killing it. The white beaded trim perfectly emphasizes the cut of the dress and draws attention to the flattering neckline and drop-down hem. Our Fashionista then adds a twist of her own style by adding in these bohemian Madewell sandals. These classic sandals with this dress truly shows the overlap between two styles. This mix in styles is something we often do without even realizing it. We brand ourselves by the diversity in the clothing we wear. Pay attention to the categories of the outfits you try on—what styles are you mixing?

How To:  Want to get this look? Watch out for these bright Lilly Pulitzer dresses, they are each distinctive and make a statement in unique ways.  Pair this dress with your favorite pair of neutral shoes—sandals, heels, flats or sneakers!  The neutrality goes well with such a brilliant dress and it will show off your charm through your personalized mix in style. Your choices are endless and each one you make identifies who you are and how you are unlike anyone else in the world.
