Hey everyone! So before you say anything, yes I am very aware that it's not a Friday. I did make this collage in preparation for this Friday but didn't manage to get it off the ground. Because of my horrible timing (whoops) the very first Fashion Friday will be on a Saturday. However, that is kind of accurate to my life. I promise I'll be better in the future.
Basically, before I get into it, I wanted to start a sort of series of blog posts every Friday to talk about fashion. I am not a lifestyle blogger or anything of the sort but seeing as I do find myself quite facinating (sorry) I thought maybe you guys would like tips, tricks, ideas and the like to spice up your wardrobe, makeup collection, and accessory bin. Hopefully this will be of some use to someone.
[Note that most of these might be made on Polyvore at the beginning but I might start doing pictures of my own wardrobe if it becomes requested/I possibly get sued by polyvore. But who's counting?]
So instead of starting off with a look at some of the lip products I've been loving recently, I decided to take the fact that it is now August and summer is almost over (NOOOOOOO!) to talk about some summer styles that I don't want you to leave in the closet.
I know that summer is when you bring out the light colours that may have seemed out of place during the colder months and white is one of them. I am currently ALL for white nail polish but other than that, I think white comes second to one colour for the end of summer - peach. As you can see in the above photo, I've tried to go very peach with the cartigan, backpack, sunglasses, phone case...you get the picture. Peach can be so flattering with most skin tones and it doesn't always drain the same way white does. I think peach as a colour can make skin look very vibrant in most instances. As you can also see, I kept the makeup colours very naturale and it wasn't just for the colour scheme. Heavy makeup can be such a burden in the heat and using a light pink/peach pallette can really do wonders. I think you should keep it light and breezy but that doesn't mean you have to wear cool colours - a light pink can be the perfect inbetween.
As I'm sure I've complained about multiple times, Washington DC is a literal sauna in August and it is pretty much the most unpleasant place to be. However, recently the weather has been almost...managable and even comfortable at timrs. Because of this, i dont know where you guys are, but I definitely recommend investing in a light, easy cardigan that will look cute and still keep you comfortable if you go out at night and it gets a bit breezy. And again I recommend peach because it will probably go with most of your summer wardrobe.
The last item on my hit list for Fashion Friday is exemplified in the beauty of the shirt in the above picture - floral patterns. If there is a floral pattern you love, now is the time to rock it before summer ends and we're all back to the drudgery of school. I think the nice thing about floral patterns is that with the large range of colour, there's so much that can go with it! Experiment, try pairing new items of clothes together and see what comes out! Cause I mean, who's really going to be around to see?
And so I think that is it for this week's Fashion Friday (technically Saturday but minor details, guys, minor) and I hope you enjoyed it! I had a really fun time writing this and definitely want to continue doing stuff like this in the future so if you want to see more, please let me know. And stay tuned for another post on Monday!
Have a Brettastic day!
