ALL IN THE DETAILS: The Bold Touch

Sometimes it can be easy to think that the clothes are all that matters when throwing an outfit together, assuming that accessories can simply be carelessly picked at the end to give a finishing touch but not much else. Sure this may be true for some occasions and no, I´m not saying you should always pick your clothes around the accessories. However, it is important to be aware of the impact these can have.

Lately fashion trends have leaned towards neutral, simple, loose, effortless and natural elements, which I love. When these trends are applied to “real life” (at least while talking about college girls), the whole look may sometimes result a bit washed out. Don´t get me wrong—while in theory I love fancy makeup and glam looks my every day is rather “au naturel” and I think it´s perfectly fine. Regardless of the specific trends that are reigning in the moment, sometimes a bit of a bold touch in the whole look is required. Here is where the details can save you from fading out.

While looking for inspo to write this article, I was walking around campus and spotted many cute girls but nothing caught my eye. There came a point where many of them just blended into one and I was just not into that “universal” look. Then I saw a girl who had that “bold touch” and I knew I had found the Fashionista I was looking for. Her outfit, made up of a black tank top under a white crochet top paired with black pants and metallic sandals, is what I call a college win. It´s pretty, cool, comfortable, and over all put-together without looking over the top. However for me it´s the accessories that made the look complete, giving her that romantic-but-with-personality vibe.

As we all know, chokers are back in style but in addition to being a trending accessory, I personally love the way they can make the wearer look more confident and empowered. There´s something about how they stand out that adds the “bold” and “daring” to an outfit. On the other hand even simple details such as an antique-style watch or a tiny ring tell us something more about the vibes our Fashionista was feeling that day. It´s well worth it to put a little thought into the details, isn´t it?
