#WhatYouOn!

I've been an advocate for layering the same colors, textures, and similar prints for a while... So when I got a glimps of J.Lo in her neon pink on neon pink I new my forecast was right on.

With that being said today's post is a mock up of different ways to complete the look.

Enjoy 526ixers!

The BOLD and the Brave!

Color, dye, rinse, so on and so on..

What's the driving force behind the bold colors I've been noticing on some of the hottest women walking. I don't have an answer but I can guess daring to be different amongst the pack. Hues like fire red to ice blonde are taking over the heads of the brave.

Look below to check out some of my favorite looks.

What's Trending

In this post I decided to take a few of my favorite trends and describe the ways I make them my own.

I am a not so trendy girl in a very trendy world. Although I believe that trends are the stepping stones to a great outfit they can come off obnoxious. My biggest rule is to take the trend and make it my own. By making it not so obvious the trend then comes off natural resulting in a great look.

　

Flannel Power

I've seen a increase in flannels untitled. The trend is possibly my favorite for a few reasons. I'm one who loves patterns and textures! I often find myself in boring situations a adding a flannel to distressed jeans, stripes, or leather always adds that funkiness we all crave once in a while. Lately I find myself wearing a flannel in the place of a jacket or blazer and pairing it with a chunky sweater for a layered look. Give it a try.

　

Crop the Top Back

I love, love, love a cute crop top. It is a clever way to show skin but in sweet and flirty way. Being curvy doesn't mean that you can't partake in this trend. My favorite way to pair a crop tops is with a loose fitting bottom (preferably a high-low or midi skirt) because it creates a fun yet innocent vibe. I created a rule for myself being tight on top and loose on bottom; tight on bottom and loose on top because it works for my figure when I wear this trend. What I would say to you is to find what works best for the shape of your body so it doesn't become a step away from trashy or just plain nasty.

 

Pointed in the Right Direction

So, I have yet to actually try the pointed toe heel trend. It is one that I hope sticks around for a while and for some reason I was disappointed that it ever left. The pointed toe seems to be the missing puzzle piece to transform an outfit to classic. Lets face it - it can make any silhouette one to be chic. My favorite way of seeing this trend  is paired with a midi skirt/dress or a tailored jumpsuit.

　

　

I'm back... AGAIN!

 

Should I start off by saying that I missed my readers or that I'm slightly nervous to be back? I think I'm going to go with the whole missed my readers bit. No, but seriously lets just say I decided to come back and one of the driving forces were my 526ixers (readers). Thanks you all for the love and support that I received.
