Fashion Blog no.1

Hello.

This is my first fashion blog ever. I've decided to blog weekly about my style of the week, tips on how to improve your style and make it more personal without buying new stuff and also making your own creations. 

 

My casual look of the week

I would personally choose this look for myself. Maybe for school or a hang out with my friends.

Most fashion experts would probably say baggy things are a big no-no. Mostly, I'd agree with

them, but this particular outfit seems very cute. Because baggy clothes CAN look good in combo

with leggings (such as in the picture) or skinny jeans. The boots and earrings are there to put everything together, and that's awesome if you like playing it safe. On the other hand, the necklace is there to break

it all and give you something to focus on. This look maybe needs some more color, so you can definitely 

try some more colorful accessorizing, but again, this is supposed to be a CASUAL look. :)

 

Trendy things in January

 

I fell in love with these short lace tops the minute I saw them. I have quite a few, myself. Even though most people say they belong to summer fashion trends, I completely disagree. Finely incorporated with a long

sleeve shirt or a turtleneck, they can be the real fresh fashion spirit of winter. Specifically because of that, 

I've chosen the colors above. They are neutral and work for any season.

 

 

Another thing I find very uncommon but pretty for winter fashion are colored/patterned skinny jeans and 

leggings. If you're wearing a sweater because the weather sucks, why not make your outfit special with 

some color, and if not with jeans, with what? They are a very simple way of improving your outfits and 

making them colorful.

My formal look of the week

Using the same lace top I stated as what I consider trendy in January, a perfectly elegant, yet playful formal outfit can be made. If you're younger, maybe replace the gold with other colors. And heels for flats. But it works, and it's formal meets  fashion liberty to me.

 

However, if you choose to go with color - don't go over the top. A pair of matching flats to the combination and maybe this hailclip will do just fine. When it comes to modern elegance, I think it's a perfect choice. Again, a lot of parts of clothing can also be added to the formal combination. Maybe jeans other than shorts, but it's a matter of choice, none the less. And personal style, of course.

 

Accessorizing

Even the most monotone, dark outfits can be brightened up with silly, at first sight, but very personal stylish accessorizing. Whether you're a music lover or you like speed (pictures), there's always something that can make your outfit shine and give it a touch of YOU. The most amazing thing about accessorizing is that it can all be easily made, rather than bought, which makes it even more personal, but some of those techniques, I'm saving for my next blog. 

 

 

i'd be happy to read your feedback on my blog so comment. 

till next week,
