ALL IN THE DETAILS: Red, Gold and Marilyn Monroe

It’s about that time of year. You guessed it: summer! The greatest months in between school and more school (or work) where time feels limitless and fun has no boundaries.

Many people find this time great for traveling. Others use it to catch up on hobbies, do chores around the house or take care of their families and pets. To be honest, the sole purpose on everyone’s minds is to relax.

What better way to relax than to talk a walk for some afternoon air? That’s what this Fashionista decided to do when I met up with her. No matter where you go throughout your summer, it’s always good to take into consideration dressing well; even if it’s just to make a small trip across town.

Some components that automatically make you notice this outfit by first glance are the hints of red and traces of gold.

Sandals are one of the best summer stables and a must-have during the summer. They keep feet cool and they come in so many beautiful styles and colors. These thong sandals by Rouge (Helium) beckon to the eye just by the bright and bold color itself. It then keeps you taken in by the gold accents that go up along the strap.

Her beige shorts from American Eagle Outfitters are cute by the design. They have a loose look to them but the belt keeps everything together.

This Marilyn Monroe crop top from Rue 21 makes the eye wander with how each picture is presented from the pattern. Along with the hint of red from her lipstick, everything with this outfit falls into place.

How To: Graphic T-shirts or crop tops like these are always fun and are really easy to get a hold of. Any department store that you stop by should have crop tops similar to these. If not, create your own! Stop by Wal-Mart, Target or any other store of your choosing, pick a favorite shirt and crop it down to your liking. With shorts, you can use any shorts that you own, or stop by a department store or an American Eagle Outfitters for something similar. With this type of outfit, any sandals can work as well. The creativity is yours to explore!
