CROP TOPS + MAXI SKIRTS!

Wednesday, February 24, 2016

With Spring around the corner, I really want to inspire you all on exactly what to wear for the upcoming season. The best part..? You don't need to go and purchase new clothes, it's as easy as mix & matching, plus really utilizing the pieces that you already have in your closet. I for one, am a huge fan of long maxi skirts. They are so easy to throw on and they instantly dress up any top that your wearing. Here I am wearing a black chiffon maxi skirt. I love this type of material because it is lightweight and flowy, and it just makes me feel so girly! One thing to keep in mind though is if you're wearing a loose flowey skirt, try to keep the top fitted and structured. A loose top and a flowy skirt is unflattering and makes you look twice the size! Just think of it as a balance, fit on top and loose on the bottom, or vice versa. I went with this simple red crop top that I love. I've styled this one before, if your curious, you could see how HERE . I love the embellishments it has around the neckline, which gives it something extra and it eliminates you having to wear a necklace ;) Crop tops are awesome during Spring/Summer (year 'round in my book), they are pretty easy to style, especially in a solid color. 

Now that you have those two pieces already in mind, let's talk outerwear! Here I went with a classic denim jacket. I really like the contrast it gives with the red crop top. Denim jackets are another great piece to have in your closet. Wether you decide to splurge or save on one, they will definitely last you a long time. Another staple to have is a pair of "trendy" sandals. It could be anything from fringe details, to lace straps, or even a stacked heel (there are many other styles as well!). For this look, I went with a flat sandal, that has some adorable fringe details in the front. I love this style! I've already worn them a couple times with some shorts, jeans, and even a midi dress! That's another thing to look for in a pair of shoes (sandals) ...versatility. 

I hope this sparked some insight into your wardrobe and to let you know you don't need to spend so much $ in altering your closet for Spring.

What's your favorite piece for Spring?! Let me know your thoughts!
