STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Back to Basics

I’m a lover of basics. The basics say words about you. Being able to pull off basics shows the world that you are bold enough to make a statement with just a few words. This Fashionista isn’t afraid to make a bold statement. You shouldn’t be either.

Lauren rocks her favorite pair of old blue jeans. I love this look because it’s not only boho chic, it’s COMFY. There’s nothing better than wearing your comfy blue jeans out. Lauren pairs her blue jeans with a fluffy vest that makes a statement with basic colors. Keep it simple with a white long sleeve underneath the vest. For shoes, find a cute bootie that pairs well with the vest. This keeps the general color scheme strong.

With all these neutral tones, we want a pop of color, and this is where you turn to eyewear. Pink, purple, blue: rock shades with a pop of color that stands out in your fit. For a necklace, Lauren turned to a simple gold piece. For bracelets, Lauren rocked two mantra bracelets and color beaded ones. Jewelry with meaning like Lauren’s mantra bracelets remind you to be as bold as your outfit. The color beaded bracelets add that dash of color similar to the sunglasses.

Basic outfits are perfect for a night out on the town or the walk to class. Either way, you won’t be able to walk down the street without catching a few eyes. Many are afraid to rock the basic look, so dare to be different. In the words of the one and only Miuccia Prada, “I always wanted to be different. I always wanted to be first.”
