WHAT TO WEAR: Summer

“Anyone can get dressed up and glamorous, but it is how people dress in their days off that are most intriguing.” Alexander Wang was spot on when he said that. Fashion has always been a way for people to express themselves for who they truly are. It’s sort of a way to show people a side of you that cannot be understood with words. Your sense of fashion on a daily basis can define more about you than a 10-page paper in MLA format. This Fashionista has a unique sense of style and she isn’t afraid to show just how self-confidant and free-spirited she is.

This Fashionista is rocking the perfect summer look! Her eye-popping and geometric printed pants are a great fit for her summer BBQ. These pants are the perfect piece for any girl to have in her closet, being that they are fashionable, yet extremely comfortable and we all know that’s hard find. Her style shows off a modern day hippie/bohemian-chic. The black lace bra top complements the bold and crowded, high-waisted pants with its delicate pieces and simple structure. A key component to her outfit is the floppy black hat. It ties together all of the loose ends to this outfit and the consistent black color in every clothing article keeps it all matching perfectly.

Her floppy black hat has a multiple seasonal use. She chose not to wear any neck jewelry with her outfit, and I have to say that was a smart choice. Due to the loudness of her pants, any large statement piece would cause too much distraction away from the outfit itself and ultimately cause it to look unbalanced. This great summer look was finished off with simple black flip flops, a necessity for every girl. A look like this fits to be appropriate for her summer BBQ, given the relaxed, laid back and fun atmosphere.

One Simple Change: Did your BBQ turn into a girl’s night out or a nightly affair? No problem for you; just lose the black hat and throw on some wedges and you’re ready for a night out on the town with your best gals. Buying any affordable, cute outfit is a win for any shopper, but finding that your outfit can be used for a multiple occasion purpose—that’s one for the books.
