LATEST FASHION FASCINATION: THIS ZARA "CHECKED" DRESS

Get it HERE!!

I need this dress and I need it now.  How in style is Plaid?!  VERY!  I adore the shape and always have.  That's the first thing that drew me in (and of course the pattern).  Pair this dress with these or these booties, also at Zara.  Outfits like these are for those that want to look chic, but not take a lot of time to do so.  Who doesn't want that?  Then this look is for you!  Just throw on the dress, slip on your booties and put your hair in a bun - DONE! Since the dress is the focal point, there's no need for over accessorizing.  Who else loves it??

DREAMIN' OF PASTELS

Even though it's not Spring anymore, pastels can still be worn in the summertime. Even so, pastels are a fashion staple. Mint green has been one of my all time favorite colors which is why I love these shorts. Pairing it with lavender or a periwinkle blue top is a great way to get your color-blocking on! Which brings me to my next topic - Color-blocking! Color-blocking is such an easy trend to accomplish. It's very fashion forward and chic. I tend to get a little crazy with this trend as I like to try a lot of different color combos, but I always think there's no wrong answer. I will definitely have more examples of this soon. In the meantime, a great way to tone it down a little if you're thinking it's too much is to pair the look with a nude shoe. Here I'm wearing heels to give me much needed height. I also went for a bold statement necklace which always add to a look especially one this sparkly! Have fun with it and remember, color is a great way to amp up your wardrobe, especially pastels!
