SUNSHINE STYLE FOR A SKEPTIC



The birds are chirping and the sun has risen. Spring has somehow already arrived and Summer is just around the corner.
 Florals everywhere and the earth is celebrating life, love, and new beginnings!

The problem is, what do you do when your mood is in darkness, pessimism, and ultimate skepticism? You just aren't feeling it, and you rather just crawl back in your moody dark corner with your black yoga pants. The last thing you would ever want  is a bit of sunshine.

Hold on my friend, skeptics can also do well with a bit of sunshine in the their Spring style. There are ways to keep your edgy style while  adding a bit of light and life to your dark aesthetic. 

1.) BE BOLD WITH COLOR: 
As a skeptic, you are naturally opinionated and have no problems questioning the norm. Use that courage, and gamble on a powerful color. Try a bright red/orange with harsh lines, and dare to be seen. It's a statement of power, and it suits you. 

2.) VINTAGE 60's:
If you have never tried vintage shopping, give it a try. Most skeptics detest being like everyone else, and shopping in vintage shops is guaranteed to suit your desire for individuality. The 60's were a very creative, and daring period of fashion. Mod Style, is edgy, bright and fun. 
(The dress I am wearing above, belonged to my mother from the 60's.)

3.) CONTRAST SWEET AND SOUR:
A skeptic, loves nothing more than a good argument, and a playful banter of opposites. If you can't commit to head to toe color, then intermix it, and create irony. A black leather jacket casually worn over a soft floral, is a salty bite to a sweet center. 

From one skeptic to another, don't be so predictable and wear the same style or color every day of the year. There is nothing edgy about a one dimensional style formula.

PR 2014: Runway Trend Alert, 60's!














2014 Fashion Runway was filled with 60's infused looks! Stay fresh on the ball  and revamp your wardrobe by finding key pieces that are iconic for the 60's!

When I think of iconic 60's, think of Twiggy, and Audrey Hepburn, "Breakfas t at Tiffany's". It is a fashion era that gave birth to Quirkiness. It is playful, colorful, and fun.

What to look for to be 60's inspired.
* fun sunglasses: cat eye, interesting designs, etc.
*polka dots
*stripes
*short, colorful baby doll dresses
*knee high socks
*geometric designs
*big statement earrings 

Adding a few 60's iconic pieces, will guarantee added spice to your old wardrobe while keeping you fresh on trend. If you can't afford straight off the runway, pay some love to your local vintage shops or Thrift stores. They make fantastic shops to find the most hidden gems!
