Getting my Style Reimagined

If you’ve been following along since my college days you know I’ve had my friend style me a few times before. They are always such fun posts. Since it’s been quite a few years since we’ve done one, and I’m feeling creatively uninspired with my current wardrobe, we thought it was the perfect time to bring it back!

She created a few different mood boards to describe the styles she thinks could fit me best. Then we went through my wardrobe using the Indyx App so she could see everything without me having to hold it up to the facetime. So useful!

Here is what she came up with. Five different styles using only things I already own.

First the visions, then the execution, and finally how I felt.

Boho

“I feel like the boho trends are coming back just in a slightly different way. No more printed shirts and “hipster” type skirts, This is more feminine with ruffled and tapered skirts, knits, even some satin like fabric shirts and tanks.”

Styled by a Paris Fashion Student for a Week

I’m back with a part two to my ‘Fashion Student Friend Dresses Me’ series!

This week, we wanted to create outfits based on events or themes. It was so fun to have a reason to dress up and get out of my same rotation of sweats.

Sunday- Museum

Outfit Details: Lace Longsleeve top- Charming Charlie, thrifted Black Denim Skirt, Heeled boots- Nordstrom

The inspiration for this day was to not only have an outfit for a museum, but to dress as though you could be a painting in a museum. I think she did a great job at that. I love how all the pieces came together.

Monday- Disney Trip

Outfit Details: Anniversary Gold Mickey Ears, Cinderella Tee- Lauren Conrad, Old Navy Denim, Target White heeled boots, Loungefly Cinderella Backpack

While I would probably not wear these shoes to Disneyland, as I like my feet too much, I love the way they look with this outfit. I also love that I have this new cutey Cinderella Backpack to match my Cinderella shirt. Courtesy of my cute friend who styled me this week. 🙂

Tuesday- Celeb: Taylor Swift

Outfit Details: Old Navy Jeans, Kohls Fuzzy Socks, Forever 21 Gray Knit

It was an unusually gloomy day on Wednesday and so it was perfect to go for an Evermore inspired Taylor Swift. How much more comfy cozy can you get to dress like a celeb than this??

Wednesday- PINK DAY

Outfit Details: Old Navy white long sleeve, thrifted Pink stripe skirt, pink bandana, Everlane Day Glove Heels in Pink.

On Wednesday’s we wear pink! Strawberry Shortcake inspired Pink that is!

How SWEET is this outfit? Feminine and simple and sweet just like Strawberry Shortcake. I love how simple yet classic this outfit is.

Thursday- Preppy

Outfit Details: Forever 21 Collared sleeveless top, Old Navy Black Cardigan, Navy Keds, Borrowed from my friend plaid skirt.

A preppy inspired look for when you want to look studious. She had to loan me this skirt since I only own two skirts (the other ones you see above) and I love how it looked both on the outfit and on me. Now I’m wondering if I should invest in one for myself? Hmm.

Friday- Game of Thrones

Outfit Details: Charming Charlie Poncho, Old Navy Black Turtleneck, Old Navy Black Jeans, Black Doc Martens, My brother’s Wooden Sword (Ha!)

I have never seem an episode of Game of Thrones but it was fun to make the edit of myself for this outfit. I love this outfit a lot. It is super cozy but the poncho just adds a little something extra. California please have another cold day so I can wear this!

Saturday- Royal Wedding

Outfit Details: Gifted Polka Dot Dress, Everlane Day Glove Heels, My mom’s shawl, Homemade Hat

And we have a winner folks! It’s a show stopper for sure. There is nothing that needs to be added to this. So cute and stylish and feminine. The hat is that cherry on top type of touch and I really need to wear this dress more often!

I have so much fun when we do styling challenges together! How do you think she did this time? Which look is your favorite?

Getting Styled for a Week by a Fashion Student pt 1

For the blog this week I thought it would be fun to do a challenge. Way back in my sophomore year of High School, this same friend wanted to dress me for a week. (I swear it was the week I got a compliment on my outfit every single day. Since I was wearing something other than a tee, flannel, or sweatshirt with my jeans.) Fast forward about 6 years and she is now a fashion student and I thought it would be fun to have her try and dress me for a week again!

The catch with this challenge this time is I don’t have a full closet of clothes in my dorm and she couldn’t bring me anything. We Facetimed before the week started to compile the list of clothes and the WIFI did NOT play a helpful role in this matter. I think the call dropped no less than 10 times.
