1.HEAD TO TOE MONOCHROMATIC LOOK

You all know I love a good pant suit. I feel so powerful and beautiful in them! But pant suits don’t need to be worn basic colors only, gorgeous pastels make a fun statement too! The clean lines of this suit with sharp collar angles and a slit at the ankles make this suit sophisticated yet trendy.

My new favorite way to wear suits are with a wide belt around the waist. It makes a masculine look, feminine. It also helps show off a curvy frame and helps bring the eye to a flattering area.

You can pair a pastel suit with white or other pastel colors. I also love to color block pastel colors with deep jewel tones. For example, mint green with deep ruby or lavender with emerald. These color combinations are perfect for Autumn.

Happy suiting!

2.SPORTY & CHIC

One of my favorite outfit combinations are mixing something masculine with something sporty. The juxtaposition of the two work really well to create a ‘high-fashion’ look. The formula is quite simple too! First, pick out your favorite colored blazer (mine being the mint one). Second, grab a pair of sporty bottoms. These can be biker shorts (like what I have on above), leggings, or sweatpants. Lastly, top it off with a pair of cool sneakers. I am loving these Sorel blush colored ones!

3.STATEMINT

When a color is so beautiful, make it a focal point! Make that color be the statement of that look by wearing a really cool piece. Whether it’s a statement top, frilly skirt, or even a scarf, let that colored piece be the item that people are looking at. That’s exactly how I felt about this mint top, I love it so much and styled the look around it.

Here are some mint pieces I’m loving that will be perfect for Fall!

So a trend I have been going back and forth about for a while are biker shorts. I couldn’t decide if I liked the trend or not. So I gave myself a challenge, how many ways could I style biker shorts in a way I would actually wear them? After taking this challenge, I have actually grown to like biker shorts! I think the fact that they were from my favorite brand, Commando, truly helped. These faux leather bike shorts are so unbelievably comfortable, are made from a high quality fabric, hug tight perfectly to the body, are a great length, and the shine from the leather elevate any look. I lived in my Commando leggings this winter so I know I’m gonna be wearing these bike shorts all spring/ summer long.

Business Casual

The modern day business woman can even make biker shorts acceptable for for work. Since biker shorts are so casual, I wanted to make this look more sophisticated and tailored. No better way to do that than to throw on a blazer. A boxy boyish blazer is a staple every woman should own because it’s so versatile. You can wear it buttoned up and belted or wear it unbuttoned like I did here for after hours. Since the blazer is oversized, adding attention to the waist is key. A simple way to do this is by adding a statement belt. When I wear masculine pieces, I bring back the femininity with my accessories. I added a ton of gold necklaces and pearl hair clips to make this look more my style.

Color Block Coolness

Black shorts look great when worn with pops of color. So throw on a colored top to spice up the black shorts. Neon colors are so hot right now so when choosing a color, consider bright neons. For the springtime, add a denim jacket to add some coolness and some warmth.

Color blocked heels are really fun way to add color to finish off a look. They are statement makers and when layered with socks, they look great with shorts.

Sporty chic

Since biker shorts are originally made for riding bikes, I figured the no brainer way to style this look would be in a sporty way. Taking influence from the 80s, I brought out my rocker T-shirt and fanny pack. A graphic T-shirt is a great option to pair with biker shorts because it makes the look a bit grungy. Half tuck the shirt in the front like I did to show the waist. You don’t want to loose your body shape with a big shirt, especially because the shorts are kinda sexy. This casual sporty look is perfect for the weekend when you’re running errands and hanging out with friends. It’s incredibly comfortable but the leather biker shorts take it to the next level. Add a trendy bit of neon to your look too. This fanny back is designed by a Puerivian brand Goldealers and you can shop their cool gear here.
