How to: Minimalistic Spring Style

My favorite words when it comes to fashion are simple, comfortable and, most importantly, minimalistic. Minimalistic style has been gaining such traction lately because, let’s be honest, who doesn’t love clothes that are easy to throw together and still look put together?

The key to a look like this is simple. You want to find pieces that are simple and have a flattering silhouette for your figure. Mostly, look for pieces that are timeless and will go with a lot. Those classic looks that you could picture dressed up or down, and could be successfully worn by a wide range of women.

Once you have your basic pieces down you can literally mix and match with anything. That’s one of the perks of having a minimalistic wardrobe, everything (usually) matches. What’s also fun about this type of style is that you can really go over or under board with the accessories. In this look, I paired it with a navy bandana and simple jewelry.

Really, minimalistic style is just about having fun. Your outfit should be tastefully but together, but remember, your personality and confidence is what truly will shine through and be what makes it look stunning.

One of my favorite parts of New York Fashion Week is how fashion is everywhere, not just on the runways. Celebrity style has been at an all time high during the past week and everyone has been sure to step out dressed to the nines. Whether it be at the actual shows, after parties, launch parties or just bumming around the city that never sleeps, dressing your best is an absolute must and incredibly fun to watch.

Outfit of the Day // Summer to Fall Transitions

Summer to fall transitions are tricky in my opinion. I think it’s because in Ohio the weather is always one extreme to the other, making it extremely difficult to dress accordingly. You get ready for one season in the morning and by noon you’re wishing you would have picked something completely different. After 19 years of making mistakes when it comes to transition seasons here are some general rules I’ve learned along the way.

 1.  Layer. Just always layer.

2. Darker colored jeans can give any look an autumnal look without sacrificing staying cool.

3. Patterns. 

4. If you make the mistake of wearing a sweater, make sure to wear a tank top or some kind of shirt under it. Promise me you will do this. Seriously, There’s nothing cute about being red faced and sweaty walking to class.

5. Don't start wearing boots until well into September, you're feet will be so hot and sweaty if you wear them too early. Like-wise, no open toed shoes after Labor Day. 

Here's an outfits that I wore to class this past week. I took one of my favorite summer tops from Madewell and styled it with summer to fall transitions in mind.  

Shirt: Madewell, Vest: Thrifted, Jeans: American Eagle;
