Three's a Charm

Too Much???

My best friend always teases me because she says I'm never satisfied with just putting on a top and jeans, I always have to add a jacket or a scarf or a vest or a belt...and it's true. I feel extremely plain or even naked with just a top and skirt or top and jeans...where's the style in that?!? I have a three piece minimum and so should you! It makes you look a lot more pulled together and even if your lost in the big world of fashion, a third piece will give you some direction.

Big Belts

A big belt can add style to a lot of would be plain ensembles. As you can see, this is just a plain tank...A PLAIN TANK...and that belt adds interest and personal style making your plain tank different from the next girls plain tank. It's a great way to add a pop of color and pull a whole look together.

Vests or Waistcoats

I have to admit...I can wear a vest out! I can wear the same vest through the whole week paired with different pieces making it look amazing every time. Again it just adds interest. I dread the idea of waking around in just a t-shirt with nothing to make it stand out. To me, thats just letting the brands or designers dress you and not dressing yourself, take some control back! I think vest are better done in neutral shades because you can wear them with anything and they will be in style longer in a neutral color.

Jackets...My Fave

What's funny about this is that I actually came across the exact jacket that I own and wear faithfully (ok maybe not now that it's hot as hell outside...that's why I like spring and fall better...JACKETS!). Anyway, this Armani Exchange jacket has been on many adventures with me, and since I'm a more earth tone type of girl...it fits right in. This is the perfect bomber jacket. But I would suggest a nice safari style jacket as well...hotness.

WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT ALL THREE PIECES AT THE SAME TIME; DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN!

It's ok...You Can Do It!

It has been brought to my attention that not everyone is comfortable with the idea of wearing scarves in the summer. Well news flash...not all scarves are made for warmth, and they're not all made out of wool or cashmere.

There are scarves out there that are made of light weight cottons and linen that are made just for summer...so don't be afraid! I personally have to defend scarves because I wear them on the regular, they're like necklaces to me now. You can get a multi-colored scarf and match it with tons of pieces from your closet, or a bold color to brighten up a boring outfit.

Now I believe the ethnic scarves that Lil Wayne and all the hipsters are wearing are on they're way out of style, but a classic color or shape will last a good amount of time. It was really a surprise to me that people found it odd that I was wearing scarves during warmer weather, I mean yeah it might be a newer concept but do people look at store mannequins anymore??? Almost every store has a scarf around the neck of their displays. And I'm not saying copy off the store displays but, draw some inspiration from something!

Get a summer scarf from Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, or H & M
