STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Keep it Flexible

September 22nd, 2016 at 2:00am

I love the look this Fashionista is wearing today because it is functional on several levels and ready to be switched around into different styles. First of all, this Fashionista is wearing a textured charcoal jersey bodycon dress. These features make the dress super soft, comfortable and flattering on her body. By adding the long button-up overtop, she was able to maintain some warmth as we head into the cooler months, while adding a relaxed feel. Also, the ruby jewel tone is naturally a perfect choice for fall! Her adidas sneakers are very on trend right now, but instead of solely relying on what is most popular, she is sticking with the trend in a general sense and opted for less common characteristics, such as the raspberry colored accents and a high-top shoe style.

Featuring another jewel tone, these shoes are yet again a perfect selection for fall. The sneakers are both casual and trendy, especially by touching on the athleisure style by matching up athletic shoes seamlessly with the dress. Nevertheless, they are a realistic choice for trekking all over campus as busy girls such as herself are required to do on a daily basis. Finally, she maintained the effortlessly casual but put together look by wearing a small enamel pendant necklace, which also features the raspberry hue.

All of the pieces are tied together perfectly through common hues and similar styles. However, the thing I appreciate most about this outfit is the flexibility. The look is built around the dress, which could be dressed up with some wedge sandals and chunkier jewelry for a night out look, but it works just as well with the sneakers. All in all, this Fashionista combines several diverse pieces creating a look in which nothing appears out of place and it can transform as needed. There are no limitations of what can be dressed up or down. The sneakers were elevated by the dress, and the shirt showed a laid-back side all while the necklace maintained the style. It is an ever-changing aesthetic that is so easy to adapt to fit every situation flawlessly, and this Fashionista masters that level of functionality with her look today.
