Look of the Day: 4th of July

What to Wear:

The Fourth of July

Shop your closet for fun looks in Liberty colors: red, white, and blue! This is a fun day to dress as you can go a little wild and everyone will love it! Over the top is fantastic. That being said, understated is always a winner. Do the 4th of July your way! Here's a little fashion inspiration:

Happy Independence Day!!!!

Stylist Tip: How To Mix Prints

How to Mix Prints:

If you are feeling bold, a mix of prints can be the perfect way to express your individuality. To create a mixed print look consider the pieces you have.  Vary the scale of the print whether it is floral or gingham.  This is going to sound crazy, but use animal prints, polka dots, and striped pieces as neutrals.  Then build from there.  Generally (unless you are super brave- in which case you are my idol), limit the number of printed items to two per ensemble.  Here are some FUN examples below:

Look of the Day

I love the color combination here: the denim, turquoise, and saddle brown give the outfit an all American vibe.  The addition of the stripes, chunky watch, and pearls add the pop of prep. It's all about the mix.  There are so many ways to interpret this vignette. Try a black and white striped top with jeans, a brown belt and flats.  Leopard flats would also work well. 

Since it is back to school time (eek!) and we must think about these things...this look will transition very well from summer to fall.

Look of the Day

Color is so invigorating but the absence of it can be tres chic. This is a beautiful day or night look that is easy to pull off.  I love the silky soft fabric of this blouse.  But you could easily swap a classic cotton broadcloth button-down instead.  To get the shirt tucked right just loosely tuck it in and then give it a tug at the front. Roll your sleeves up as well.  Pair it with white skinny crops and wayfarers. The color combination is crisp and light.  White on white with camel/nude accessories.  You could also swap the heels for a nude or metallic flat sandal if that is more comfortable. Easy easy easy!!

I am loving all the raucous color in the fashion world and in "street" looks right now.  It really feels like almost anything goes.  So go ahead, be bold.  Mix prints, vary tone on tone garments, layer on the accessories, and wear a little fluorescent everyday.  Why? Because you can!
