STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Basic With A Twist

When nothing else seems to be inspiring, my go-to outfit is jeans and long sleeves. Lately, I feel like this is what I am always caught wearing and it is starting to feel a little drab. I spotted this Fashionista on her way to class and had to take her picture. Who wouldn’t want to with this trendy take on an everyday outfit?

This Fashionista plays with pulling in a twist to the common look and does it with style. She pairs her maroon shirt with a dark wash jean and light brown ankle boots. She ties the whole look off by adding chic sunglasses and a confident smile.

This maroon shirt is all that and more with a lace inset. It is the perfect balance of trendy and chic. The lace frames the front neckline, dips into the back and down the arms to add shape. This shirt is able to use the cutout pattern without going overboard and losing the essence of a long sleeve. It is also able to keep the shirt as an appropriate class or work top, which sometimes is hard when picking out clothes with a cutout.

I realized even adding a little variety to an old look is the perfect way to make it feel like a new look all over again. This Fashionista has found a way to add interest to her look and wears it proudly. Keep doing you, girl!

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Buy something with a twist! Spice up an otherwise basic outfit by getting clothes that have something different and interesting about them. This lace inset top is one of my go-to grabs when I want to reach a classic, yet stylish, look.”
