Culottes

I remember when I was in high school, the culottes trend were huge! My mom actually enjoyed shopping for a pair with me because she wore them in high school too. Funny how fashion repeats itself right? I'm actually not surprised that culottes are back. Why? They are so comfortable and look good on everyone. The easiness makes them wearable for work as well as a night out. They come in every color and print from black, orange, green, stripes, polka dots, and floral. Here are some tips I have when styling your culottes.

1. Since culottes have a lot of volume, wear a fitted top or something that shows your waistline. I wore a baggy tee with mine but tied it in a knot. Having too much volume on the top and bottom can look unflattering. 

2. Find the right length. Somewhere in between an inch below to the knee to mid shin are the golden area. Make sure they aren't hitting the ankle because that will just make you look shorter.

3. The flare of the pant should start and the high or low hip. Shaping around the waist will help define your silhouette, prevent bagginess in the crotch, and help you look slimmer.

The shirt says it all! When I started blogging (years ago), I was a little embarrassed about it. Only for the fact that people looked down upon them and I was afraid of how others would perceive me. Bloggers were known to be just a pretty face who pose for pictures (so wrong!). TODAY, I proudly wear this shirt and am so pleased to say that I am a blogger and influencer. I don't think people realize just how much work I, and my influencer peers, put into our passion project! We are everything from the CEO, photographer, stylist, model, writer, editor, accountant, social media manager, web designer, and so much more! We multitask like no other and sometimes barely sleep. But at the end of the day, I've learned SO much from blogging and have seen not only my STYLE but CONFIDENCE evolve. I hope to inspire other girls and boys out there to be confident in there own skin and express themselves through their style everyday! XOXO!!

Belt Bag

I didn't think this bag trend would come back, but it did and I think it's the most successful approach yet. The fanny back/ belt bag is one of this seasons must have bags! I remember I had one as a kid, but it was more of a sporty fanny pack made with waterproof outerwear fabric. It wasn't my favorite bag....

However, it was practical and I think that's why my parents made me wear it. 

Thanks to the high end designer house, Gucci, fanny packs/ belt bags are the trendiest bags right now. If you're not into fanny pack/ belt bags or just don't know how to wear them, you're in luck. I'm going to share some tips on how to style the bag. Shop my favorites down below!

If you're not afraid of trying new trends, this is the bag for you. For the girl who's a fashionista at heart, she's all about wearing the newest trends and being seen. Go all out and mix up the look with the belt bag. Try mixing glamour with casual- a sequin skirt or jacket with a t-shirt and jeans. Bump up the look with pumps (bonus points if they match your belt bag)! Top it off with statement jewelry. 

Belt bags are great when you're running errands or if you're going to the gym. You don't want to be carrying a ton of items plus it is so simple to throw one on. Go for the sporty-chic vibe and wear a cute pair of leggings, t-shirt, hoodie, and a denim jacket. You can wear some comfy sneakers and maybe even top it off with a hat!

Another perfect time to carry a belt bag is when you're traveling! You can be completely hands free and be able to take pictures, double fist, and really use your hands to talk (I'm totally guilty of that). It is also one of the safest options to prevent yourself from getting pick pocketed.

 It's an easy option to wear any season. You can belt it over a summer dress or even over a winter coat. I love the versatility. I style my fanny pack with an easy going pair of jeans and a sweater during my travels. I prefer to wear a shorter length coat if I need to layer so I can zip it up without having to take the belt bag off.
