skort
Get the look of a skirt with the comfort of a short. Freshly pressed white shirt is a classic. Have at least two in your wardrobe.
Valentino Rock Stud flats are terribly chic day or night.
Create another look by layering on a leopard cardigan and cross body bag, or dress it up with a bright printed blazer, turquoise heels and neon clutch.
Take this look from day to night with a sleeveless moto-vest and printed clutch brings it all together.
Pastel MotoJacket
I’m not a fan of pastel but would definitely rock this pastel pink Moto Jacket!
Wedge sneakers continue to be in fashion. Take note how she carries the bag, this trend started last fall.
Note the tee shirt is striped which pairs perfectly with floral!
Next they swapped out the wedge sneakers for metallic pumps, matching clutch and a white blazer.
If you are limited on resources the white blazer is a must have this season. You will get a lot of use out of it! Style tips, wear the collar flipped up and push the sleeves to your elbows.
bright colors
Adorable!!! Is this fuchsia skort number with neon sandals.
If you are a fan, backpacks are back with full force.
Layer your jewelry, necklaces and bracelets.
This gal’s look is completely transformed from girly fun to upscale chic with the slip of a floral overcoat, Saint Laurent satchel and suede pumps. She is stunning even from the back. Don't forget to stack those bracelets.
Notice the pink lips that all the models are wearing. An easy updated lip color will add freshness to your ensemble.
snake
We love how this bag picks up the bright green in her culottes which are brought up to date with a cute crop top.
Not to mention those strappy heels are to DIE for!!!
Swap out the heels for comfy thong sandals, matching clutch and a perfectly fitted white shirt. The seams on this shirt accentuate her curves...very flattering.
city heels
Mix prints like this snake blouse and camo fold over tote by Stella McCartney, then ground it all together with a white jean vest.
The new shoe…city heels, designed for lots of walking about with thick rubber platform for good grip, chunky thick heel and straps.
Swap out city heels for bright flats and more prints. These colors don’t match but they certainly go together.
white shirt
An easy trend that anyone can do is black and white!
The base outfit is chic printed leggings with a long white shirt. Styled with a black blazer, backpack and city heels.
This outfit looks great even without the jacket. Just add a belt, flat sandals and a pop of color.
The tangerine tote makes the outfit special.
More black & white
More black and white, the base outfit is cropped sailor pants and mesh sweater. Daytime styled with a cross body back and sleek wedges.
Note her bracelets on both wrists this time.
See how different the same outfit looks with a zipper jacket! This is perfect for a date night or beachy cocktail party.
Take me to the beach! Another super cute daytime outfit with a neon jacket and Charlotte Olymipa kitty flats.
transformation
Talk about transformation…first we see an elegant lady in a belted overcoat. Those pumps look like they were made for this outfit. We don’t normally like white shoes but those are an exception.
Next the exact same outfit but without the belt gives a peek at what lies underneath.
Without the coat the outfit is modern and trendy. Uber sexy but not trashy...it must be those white pumps. If you have a great midriff then flaunt it. We will gaze in jealousy.
Finally styled with black and white ankle booties, Tom Ford studded shoulder bag and moto-jacket this ensemble is simply put bad ass!
