STYLE GURU STYLE: Go Denim!

Ladies and gentlemen, as we all know, our most favorite season of all time, summer, is coming to an end. The endless laughter of children playing outside and another summer filled with happiness and love shared between loved ones will be added to the memories to remember for a lifetime. *Disclaimer* I may or may not be wiping my tears away while writing this as I realize the days of freedom without responsibilities are slowly fading away.

Moving on—although I do love summer time, I look forward to the fall season because it means drinking warm tea (yum!) and wearing pants and long sleeve shirts without showing sweat marks. I love denim tops and bottoms (jeans, shorts or skirts), but I never had the courage to wear a full denim outfit. After spending hours looking for fashion inspiration and screenshots on Vogue.com, I came across Lacoste’s spring 2015 ready-to-wear collection. One particular look from the collection—a light denim jumpsuit—had me keen to try a new look.

So today I, a little hesitantly, decided to piece together this look on this beautiful day.  In my ensemble, I chose to wear my absolute favorite denim button-down and paired it with a similarly colored pair of high-waisted jeans. To show off my personality and love for sparkles, I added a darker shade necklace to contrast with the light shirt.  The earrings were a risky addition as it added too many sparkles along with my LED mirror front watch (often mistaken as an Apple watch). To wrap up my outfit, I added my go-to red pumps to add a lively color and put my hair in a ponytail to enhance the final look.

Don’t be afraid to add accessories or any extra items to your outfit!  You may feel that additional items might not look good; however, if it brings out your personality then that’s what it is all about.  Be confident, be different and most importantly, be you!

Get My Look: 1. A button-down shirt. 2. High-waisted jeans. 3. Red pumps. 4. Sparkly Spike necklace and earrings.
