STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Break A Few Fashion Rules

April 20th, 2015 at 2:00am

We were all told growing up that we couldn’t wear our favorite white accessories until Memorial Day, but that’s not until May 25th! As for me, once spring hits, the white accessories come out. Sorry fashion police, but whoever came up with the “no whites until May 25th” rule obviously never saw how fabulous this Fashionista is in her pre-Memorial Day whites. So join me and this Fashionista to break a few fashions rules. Trust me, it’s tons of fun.

To start, take a few lessons from this Fashionista’s look. She combines classic pieces layered with cool army green to create an effortlessly chic look for class or a day out on the town. She starts with a classic white button-down (a staple in any true Fashionista’s closet) and a pair of loosely fitting army green jeans. She then pairs these cool pieces with another layer of fun: a vest! Perfect for the transitioning weather in the beginning months of spring, the vest pulls the look together. But my favorite part of the look, by far, is the accessory that breaks a few rules: her white sneakers. At first glance, you can’t even tell they are sneakers! Look closely, and you’ll see the iconic Nike swoosh.

This look is so easy to recreate! Just combine a classic white button-down with your favorite pair of jeans. Then throw on your favorite white sneakers. Add a few pops of color to catch the eye, and your look is complete!
