Say it Loud With a Statement Piece

June 6th, 2017 at 2:00am

Statement pieces are one of my favorite ways to add personality to an outfit. So, when I saw this Fashionista on campus, I just knew I had to cover statement pieces for my first CollegeFashionista article this semester.

My absolute favorite part of this Fashionista’s outfit is her suede duster jacket. I don’t have anything against all-black looks, but I love how the gold hardware and pink hue work together to soften the intensity of her otherwise all-black ensemble.

Sometimes, one statement piece just isn’t enough! This Fashionista stepped it up by adding a cropped graphic T-shirt and pairing it with high-waist black jeans. Choosing a graphic top with a witty quote is a great way to show the world you don’t take yourself too seriously!

Finally, she tied her whole look together by stacking a black and silver choker and a gold cornicello pendant. By selecting mixed-metallic jewelry pieces to go with this look, she created cohesion in her outfit and tied together the warm tones of her jacket and the cool tones of her black jeans and T-shirt.

What do you think—would you incorporate more than one statement piece in an everyday outfit? Let us know in the comments!
