STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Pearls are Forever

June 24th, 2015 at 2:10am

This summer, less is definitely more. Whether it’s makeup, accessories or layers, no one wants to be bogged down by excess. Everything from the erratic weather to the bustling energy of the city makes being comfortable and versatile important. When it comes to staying causal and simple, it’s best to stick with classic looks. Different pieces that have remained in style for decades do so because they always look and feel good. This goes for this Fashionista’s jean shorts and T-shirt.

This Fashionista’s T-shirt and jean shorts combination is the perfect simple summer outfit. Her accessories help to dress this look up as well as display her personality. The bangle and beaded bracelets are great for adding color and texture. The beaded bracelets from her native China are also a cute and chic way to showcase her culture. The twisted pearl necklace is a classic and typically dressy piece that adds the Fashionista’s personality to this outfit. Even though this accessory is usually used to dress up an outfit, it’s simplicity helps maintain a casual, laid back look.

Her sunglasses add a cool, laid back look and are an easy way to enhance her outfit without much effort. Finishing the look off with her black sandals, this Fashionista knows how to combine chic with casual for a relaxed yet put together outfit.
