STYLE GURU STYLE: Princess Pleats

July 27th, 2015 at 2:10am

Lavender is in bloom this time in the summer! And what is a better way to show appreciation for such a lovely flower and scent than wearing its gorgeous hue? Here is how I wear my lavender, which was inspired by runway trends mixed with my own personal style.

Inspired by Roksanda Ilincic pre-fall 2015 collection, I wanted to focus on pastels, particularly lavender, my favorite color to wear at the moment. I also wanted to mimic Roksanda Ilincic’s collection by contrasting the lavender color with harsh black. I also love how most of the lengths in this collection are midi, that adorable sweet spot when it comes to skirts.

A pleated midi skirt is always an essential wardrobe item. I love the classy princess like feeling you get when you put on a flared skirt and heels. There are just so many ways to wear it, whether you want to class it up or make it casual. My approach was more casual, as I chose a simple black top for the look rather than a dressier top because it is summer, hot out and I’m a simple girl in Oregon right now, but that doesn’t make me feel like any less of a princess.

As far as accessories and makeup, I stuck to my usual go-to pieces, simple gold jewelry and pretty much bare face, similar to the accessorizing in Roksanda Ilincic’s collection. My hair was simply styled, and my outfit was complete with a smile, a silly face and a princess attitude.

Get My Look: 1. Black lace tank top. 2. Lavender midi skirt. 3. Strappy black heels.
