STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Digital Florals

March 16th, 2015 at 2:00am

“Florals for spring? Groundbreaking.” This is a famous quote that many of us have heard from our favorite fashion devil, Miranda Priestly. Why yes, florals in spring are the go-to trend during the spring season, but adding a digital dimension to the florals makes for a unexpected twist on a classic feminine look.

The key to this Fashionista’s look is simplicity and balance; pairing a statement top with some dark jeans makes it look polished, feminine and cool. What I like most about this Fashionista’s outfit is her accessories. They add a little sparkle to the basic floral trend (physically and metaphorically). The crystal drop statement earrings complement the floral vibe perfectly while the quilted circle cross-body bag is simple enough to not overdo the look itself.

Though the floral trend has its roots in the classic “feminine” look, you can always decide to dress it up, dress it down, add some Dr. Martens for more edge or even a leather jacket for some toughness. It’s a trend that can be worn in every season and for almost every occasion. This swingy and silky floral top instantly polishes up any kind of look, and the front pockets are an added bonus.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “When you are wearing statement pieces like earrings or busy tops, go for a natural, bare beauty look; I love to keep my skin fresh and healthy with loose foundation powder while not having too much going on with the rest of my outfit. Also, [the] same with hair! Though I love to keep it down, I always carry a hair band just in case I get into study mode.”
