Breaking Coordinates

Matching a top to a different bottom may sometimes be tricky to pull off,

but it can also be very rewarding when one sees the final output.

So if there's one easy tip that we can all live by,

it's to always invest in basic styles and neutral colors.

The outfit to my left is featured via my style post A Beautiful Disaster , 

while that of the right can be found via Of Lace and Stripes.

This is how a simple mix and match can create a new level of chic. 

Taking inspiration from the classic black and white peg,

I created this casual laidback look by

 combining a basic croptop with lace suspenders

and finishing it off with an eyecatching loafer. 

How do you like this new look?

Stay creative and inspired dearest readers :)

That Thing Called Plaid

August marks the start of another school year.

If you're still a student, here's an outfit suggestion that you can sport. 

Instead of wearing plaid which is quite ordinary these days, 

I recommend that you try Houndstooth,a modern take to plaid.

Houndstooth is a duotone pattern consisting of abstract 

four-pointed shapes, often in a color combination of black and white.

I created this ensemble for a casual and chic look, 

simply perfect for day to day school affairs.

My top and skirt are both from ROMWE. This brand's fashion collection is 

so diverse that I can find everything I need in it. Not to mention, they are always

 updated with the latest styles and trends. Perfect for all fashionistas out there.

Always remember that there are a lot of ways to personalize a look.

It doesn't mean that what works for me will work for you.

It's all a matter of getting some style inspiration and turning it 

into a look you can call your very own.

Love,
