Why don’t we…twist it with fur and lace?

I was trying to think of a way to twist up the classic look of a lace outfit. What could complement this texture? Some more texture, of course! Nothing gives a look texture more than fur. Along with that it gives a very contrasting element to this piece by having the light lace alongside the dark fur.  

Why don’t we… believe in boho?

I’m back at it combining loose fitting items.  This time my inspiration for this look was my favorite bohemian print scarf that I like to use as a headband. With the orange and blue pattern, I was able to break out my favorite wide leg trousers and my rust neck tie blouse. This squash blossom pendant necklace from Steve Madden really adds to the bohemian essence of this look.

Why don’t we… play with textures?

Why don’t we… be biker chic?

Why don’t we… combine comfort and class…wear a slouchy outfit every now and then?

I can’t get enough of my cropped oversized sweater. So much so that I wanted to try and wear it for all occasions including this little combo I concocted. You can combine comfort with class when it’s cold outside. Pick your favorite sweater and then find your dressy piece to pair back to it. I even added my favorite tie front blouse to give it that extra panache.

Why don’t we… please wear pleats?

This midi skater skirt is a favorite of mine. It was a good cheap find on Ebay. If there is one thing I love it’s a bargain. What I love about this skirt is the dainty elegance it gives off. I feel like this would be the perfect skirt for a tea brunch on a Sunday.

Why don’t we embrace embroidery?

Embellishments have been taken to the extreme with this look.  Between my kimono with an embroidered border, my embroidered top and my detailed lace skirt, I am embellished to the max in this look. Sometimes it’s fun to go overboard with one theme.

Why don’t we…color pop with vibrant colors?

I know what you’re thinking; you already did this with color blocking. Well I think color popping is different. When you color block you combine colors that are compatible, when you color pop you combine a subtle color with a bright vibrant color. This is a great way to introduce some spring into your wardrobe.

Why don’t we... find multiple uses for our dresses?

You may be thinking to yourself, A dress is just a dress. Sure, a dress can be a great easy outfit pull, you throw it on and your whole look is complete.  However, you would be limiting yourself. A dress can be a tunic as well! The dress I chose is more of a shift style which is the best way to go if you want to try and create a bottom and top look with your dress.

Why don’t we…delve into decadence?

I call this look romantic decadence. My take is to combine romantic florals with the opulence of rhinestones and glamourous jewelry.  Something like this could be a perfect look for this spring season.
