July 2015 – CALL ME HALES

Everyone today looks up to celebrities, whether it be fashion advice or lifestyle choices. Taking a picture of a celebrity and recreating something that they picked out of their closets is so fun, so I figured why not play dress up?

I was out shopping with my friend B and we went to Plato’s Closet to drop off some clothes, while we were waiting I saw these…

I mean, hello who do these remind you of??

Let me give you a hint, he’s a member of a popular boy band. Do you know now?

So yes, today I got to dress up like Harry Styles and I felt like an 18 year old boy but you know what, I freaking loved it. This was so me, and more of an edgy look that I don’t get to bring out a lot. Plus, it was centered around booties so I knew I was going to love this look.

Stripe shirt + Ripped Jeans + Boyish booties= Match made in heaven.

I am not sure what else describes Harry Styles besides a messy bun and this outfit. It seems to be his “go to look” and I can see how 13-year-old girls cry over him. Jk… but maybe a little.

Today was 1//2 days off of work I have each week and I started the day of in the cutest coffee shop in my town. I’ve really been trying to dress in ‘actual’ clothes rather than grabbing a t-shirt and shorts, so I can give a “I didn’t just roll out of bed” vibe.

Mixing prints is a huge past time for me and I think it can make any outfit interesting, where it may otherwise lack oomph (is that even a word?).

I started with a duo-printed dolphin short and drew inspiration from there. I didn’t want to pair them with a plain white top so I pulled out my gray and white striped long sleeve. It is a simple top but gives enough texture and contrast that I think it works great with the print on the shorts. This necklace might be the most treasured item in my jewelry collection, it really goes with everything and layers nicely with other pieces. Today I chose to wear it alone and thought the pink quartz brought out the pink tones in the shorts.

For the shoes; if you know anything about me it is that I LOVE me some booties and I think they finish off any outfit for any season. But I also think a sandal pairs nicely with this kind of look as well.
