Fur Vest
Fur is always a statement for elegant, however fur isn't only for evening gowns coverage or for coats, fur can be put into a day to day piece. The fur vest gives the elegance of the fur to the day to day practical piece that is the vest. Styling the vest with a simple shirt or blouse elevate the look completely and makes it look expensive. a casual plain dress can go from plain to chic by adding the fur vest. Denim = cheap and practical, Fur = expensive and fancy, Fur+ Denim = modern hippie look.
Leather Leggings
It just adds constant edge to your outfit, very rock chic. Ladies they are still leggings so you still need to cover up your butt, always wear something long with your leather leggings. For a slick look you add a blazer to the look, pair some heels and you're ready to go; it's great because mixing the edginess of the leather with the formality of the blazer tones down the legging. Add chiffon blouse to it and you've got yourself a feminine look. An oversize knit or shirt makes the look more casual depending on the shoes. Over-vests adds great length to your look. Avoid the leather jacket or top cause it's not the 80's and you're not a rock star. One great thing about leather leggings of course is that you can wear it with any type of shoes except flip flops, they just don't go together. Classy heels, edgy thigh high boots, hippie wedges or gladiator, ankle booties for daily look and converse for casual look.
Maxi Skirts
Just admit it, you didn't imagine yourself wearing a maxi skirt after high school ended, personally I didn't. Fashion is full of surprises and since the 90's are back, it sent us everything including the maxi skirts. My favorite maxi skirts are 3 kinds. The tube skirt, mostly tube skirt would have an opening to spice things a little bit, however if you are on the conservative side, tube skirts with no opening is also in, since they are super tight mostly over sized blazers, shirts or knits are perfect; it's like the skirt substitute for the leggings. Transparent maxi skirt is amazing cause you have the option to wear any length of skirt under it or maybe leggings; which makes one piece adjust to your own mood. Pleated maxi skirt is amazing mostly you tuck in something a bit tighter on the top and you have a basic simple look making your pleats pop or just wear it with something a bit over-sized, just make sure you're at your goal weight before you that ;).
Double Rings
Over-sized Sunglasses
I know we went through the pilots then the wayfers now we're back to the small 90's sunglasses, rayban my face is just too big for that. I love over-sized everything really, over-sized sunglasses complement a big face, if you have a smaller face choose a big sunglasses to your face, it's all about the ratio. The cat eyes was hands down the way to go in the 50's which i like to call the feminine era, over-sized cat eyes gives a feminine class. Jackie O. taught us everything about being formal chic, she had the best men as arm candy, however her over-sized square sunglasses have made it's way to being formal and lady like. the round over-sized sunglasses are just the basic of the over-sized sunglasses, it's chic, simple and complements the face.
Tulle Skirts
Full, Small, Short, Long, layered or slick! a tulle skirt is a guaranteed hit. Styling a tulle skirt is a bit tricky though, you don't want to look like a ballerina in the street. You can wear it a simple tank top no embellishments or anything, you basically make your tulle skirt the hit of the outfit; that look is simple yet young and feminine. You can go for a slicker look, still simple and feminine but more classy, wearing a simple shirt or blouse tucked into your tulle skirt with simple pumps adds instant class to a playful outfit, simply chic and ladylike this look is perfect for toning down the tulle skirt without making it look out of context.
Going to the edge includes mismatching the tulle skirt can go amazing with a denim shirt tucked in, you can make add a belt for extra embellishment of the look, the look is well put together but still different. Denim shirts can be feminine you can add lace, flowers or bows as accessories. Really pushing the boundaries is my thing so my favorite add would be a biker leather jacket, it's the complete opposite of the tulle skirt, but surprise it's mega chic, think Audrey Hepburn meets Madonna. I would wear heels or even an embellished converse like with lace or studs depends on the place I'm going
Adding more class and formality to your tulle skirt can happen with adding a blazer on top of your blouse or tank, that outfit is perfect to make it look like something you would just throw on. Very feminine and very carefree look that could be created by a simple cardigan over the tulle skirt also with heels, you can add some accessories to the cardigan, a flower or a simple bow would complement the feminine vibe, however I would go with some studs on the cardigan just to mismatch and tone down the femininity of the tulle skirt with heels..
