        One of the most unique and versatile pieces in our closets are our maxi skirts. It can also be pretty confusing, since there's so many options with it. Yes, it's a skirt and you can wear it simply the way you see it, but what's the fun in that?!
        Lengthy maxi skirts are the most fun, you get to play with a lot of fabric! One of my favorite thing to do is pin different parts of the hem in different areas of the skirt, it gives off a really neat draping affect.You could also use fancy, decorative pins, such as an embellished brooch. Or you could tie one side of the skirt in a knot, it looks really cool when you put the knot in the front. Another way of wearing this trend, is by wearing the skirt with a same colored top to create the illusion of a one piece. When I wear it this way, I 'll usually throw on a wide belt to hide waist bands, plus it also looks great! One of the other way to wear a maxi skirt, is to take one part of the hem and pull it up to the waist and tuck it in. This trick looks especially great with a hi- lo maxi skirt. I know it sounds strange but you can't knock it until you try it!
        I hope that these few tips have vastly helped give you different ways to wear the maxi skirt this summer. There are a ton of more ways to wear this trend, both imaginative and creative, how will you be wearing it? The next time you see a maxi skirt in one of your favorite stores, don't hesitate in getting it, you will find that you have more than one option with it.

Shoe Necessity.

       

        Picture this, you put on the hottest outfit for a night out with your girls. It's perfect, from head to..... you get to your feet and remember that you didn't exactly choose what shoes to go with the outfit. Yes I have been in this situation. Fear not, I have found that there's always a solution especially when it comes to fashion! Nude colored shoes are definitely the answer. Nude shoes are great because they give the illusion of longer, lengthened legs. Perfect match for any color, print, and texture. Nude is considered a neutral, which is why they look great with everything and anything! They're also great year round. Plus, they come in a variety of styles, the classic pump, strappy wedges, architectural oxford style shoes and some even have color blocking or patterned accents. This is truly a must have, for any fashionista's closet!

         Growing up, I've been known to wear trousers and pants all the time. Then the one day I show up in jeans, everyone wonders who kidnapped my body?! I blame my love for trousers on my mama, she always dressed my brother and I in the preppiest of outfits. Trousers, dress pants, whatever you want to call them, are such a staple to any one's closet because they look great for any occasion! One of my favorite examples, the beautiful, Audrey Hepburn was known to wear trousers many times, she usually paired hers with her trademark flats.

        What I love most about trousers is not just that they are comfortable, but also very versatile. They give you the option of wearing it dressed up or down. I like to have fun with my trousers, cuffing it up, pairing it with a band tee, wearing it with tops that have bold patterns or even a fun corset top. They are also a great staple for the summer months too, since you can find pairs in lighter, airy materials such as linen. And there is so many styles to choose from, wide legged, tapered, staight, skinny, cigarette style, high waisted. So many endless possibilites! There are a lot of places to get a great pair of trousers, but my tried and true pairs are usually from J.crew, Zara, and Gap. Trousers are not just for interviews or stuffy offices, they are  for every situation, trust me I live in my pairs!
