STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Cool Kicks

June 2nd, 2015 at 2:00am

There’s nothing quite as comforting as throwing on a dress in the warm summer weather. Dresses can be cute, comfortable and feminine everyday pieces during this time of year. The fun part about basic pieces is that you have the ability to keep them simple, or dress them up. Your choices of accessories, hair, makeup and shoes can alter the same dress’ look completely.

This Fashionista took her simple simple dress with a zipper detail at the neckline, and added some liveliness with her accessories. She started by adding the white and gray flannel around her waist. Tying a shirt or jacket around your waist is a great way to add interest to a look along with having a layer handy if it gets cooler out when the sun goes down. Next, she has a mix of silver and gold bracelets and rings. Her bright pink nail polish is a fun pop of color to her neutral colored look. These aren’t the additives that caught my attention, though.

This Fashionista  put a serious edge to this girly look by pairing it with these high-top Vans. These metallic and black Vans are a fun and casual pair of sneakers that dress down her entire look. The metallic silver also complements her jewelry and the gray in her flannel. Sneakers are a comfy and casual way to dress down any look. With the sporadic nature of summer, it’s always convenient to have on a comfortable pair of shoes on that you can take on any activity with.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I’m kind of a sneaker-head. I love incorporating them into any of my looks. They’re a fun way of switching up the look of an outfit.”
