STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Show A Little Skin

With New England weather being all over the place, it is only fair that we Fashionistas/os take full advantage of any nice day that comes our way. It has reached the perfect time to pull out some old autumn favorites and dress them down for some warmer weather. With limited accessories and the perfect shoes, this look is very attainable to any average college student.

The classic T-shirt dress is popping up on celebrities everywhere as they run errands, hang with their kids or even as they take on their days in big cities like NYC or L.A. Whatever the occasion, it is fair to say that this look is becoming an instant statement piece for all Fashionistas. Whether the pattern be striped or solid, these dresses sit right above the knee at the perfect spot to show a little leg while still looking as casual as possible. This Fashionista recalled wearing this dress previously under a blazer for a job interview, but also wore it in the photograph for a casual day of classes. The versatility of this dress is what makes it stand out the most.

Details in the headband and earrings help add a vintage twist on this look while complementing the brown heeled boots. This look is equally translatable for the male fashion lovers of the world. The key is to find something that looks effortless, and complement it with accessories such as watches or hats to make it look put together. The most important part is to never over accessorize. So in this case, it may be a good time to put dangly earrings or large amounts of bangles aside and remember that you are trying to look like you are not trying.
