With spring nearly here (even though in Michigan it's impossible to tell), I figured I'd throw together my guide on how to master pastels like a boss.
Pastels and Neutrals:
If you're afraid of pastels, never fear! Obviously, everything goes well with neutrals including pastels. My only suggestion is to shy away from bright white. I'd suggest an off white instead.
Pastels and Brights:
If you're looking to be a little more daring, then here is my suggestion. Create an outfit with mostly pastels and neutrals. Then choose one thing (bag, shoes) to be your color pop to tie the outfit together.
Side note: When accessorizing go for gold jewelry as opposed to silver.
Pastels and Pastels:
Yo, dawg! I heard you like pastels. So, I put some pastels on your pastels! Normal rules for color coordination don't apply to pastels. Normally, I wouldn't pair a blue with a purple, but you can do that with pastels.
As for me, this is what I chose (and yes it is blizzarding out):
Cardigan: Forever21 (similar

Bird Scarf: Lauren Conrad for Kohl's
Shoes: Elle for Kohl's

Although it can be quite crowded shopping after Christmas, for those of us willing to brave the throngs of crazy shoppers and return lines out the door, it can be worth it. My only tips are shop clearance! A lot of the times places put their winter apparel and accessories on clearance even though we still have a few months of bitter Winter left to endure. Also, never pay full price for anything around this time. With the deals, coupons and clearance waiting to buy the newest spring outfit at full price is best.
Having said all that, here is what I scored in my post-Christmas shopping extravaganza:
Periwinkle Lauren Conrad Wedges (Kohl's):
:
Original Price: $69.99
I Paid: $7.50
Faux Leather Bow Gloves (Target):
Original Price: $19.99
I Paid: $14.99
Burgundy Felt Hat (American Eagle):
Original Price: $24.99
I Paid: $6.99 (technically nothing I had a gift card)
All in all it was a good Christmas.

I've decided to start a series in this blog called
Fashion Myth Busters. I will be taking several fashion myths and busting or confirming them. This is part one. Get excited!
Myth #1:
You only need one pair of black heels.
As nice as it would be to only have to buy one pair of black heels until they're worn out, it is unfortunately untrue. Because of the plethora of styles, materials and heights that heels come in, not to mention the multitude of events in your life you'll need them for, it is imperative to have more than one style of black heel. I've narrowed it down to 3 types of black heels that should suit different events, including day-to-day activities.
1. The Work Pair
This is the more practical pair of heels that most successful women are in need of. Especially, those that are on their feet constantly. For these, I suggest a point toe, that way it will look good with dress pants and skirts, etc. I also suggest a lower heel. As cute as 4 inch heels are they aren't incredibly practical and can kill your feet.
My Top Choice:
2. The Trendy Pair
The next kind I like to define as the trendy pair, which is something you can go out in. It shouldn't be too fancy. They should be simple and define your sense of style.
My Top Choice:
3. The Fancy Dinner Pair
This pair of heels should be a mix of trendy and classic. They're heels that you can wear to a party or a nice restaurant. They're trendy, but reserved and should be formal. For these I'd try to stay away from a platform heel as well as sequins.

There are a lot of little tricks to learn when taking an outfit from day to night. The biggest one of these little tricks is accessorizing. Accessorizing is an integral part of an outfit especially when you're dressing appropriately for the time of day. You have to be conscious of your jewelry, hair, purse and your shoe choice in order to make an outfit work for whatever occasion. Here is a visual:
Here is a very basic dress. If you're dressing for day to night you always want to consider your shoes.
For Day:
Try a pair of basic flats, depending on the dress and how adventurous you're feeling on that day. It makes it work appropriate, as well as school appropriate without looking too overdone.
For Night:
Try a nice pair of wedges or cute heels to pair with the dress. It will make your dress come alive at night.
2. Jewelry
Another thing to be cognizant of when dressing from day to night is jewelry.
For Day:
Daintier jewelry is better to be worn for the day to make your outfit look a little more subdued, like this rhinestone bow necklace.
For Night:
This peter pan collar necklace is perfect big statement jewelry for night time.
3. Purse/satchel
What you carry is imperative to your look for day to night.
For Day:
For day a satchel or crossbody bag like this one works best.
For Night:
For night try a refined satchel. Something a little less busy and simple. Clutches also work perfectly for night.
4. Other Accessories
For Day:
Add a belt!
For Night:
Add tights! Also great for Fall coming up and Winter.

Something that is very prominent this fall and that I happen to love are loafers. They're very popular and because of it they come in different patterns, colors and textures to help fit anyone's personal style. Loafers are an excellent substitution for ballet flats that make an outfit even more chic. It's a great way to spice up your wardrobe. Here are my favorite loafers of the season:

A very big piece this summer is the tie front shirt. There are so many out there to choose from. I love this style, so I went with a teal lace-back tie-front shirt from Kohl's and paired it with linen shorts and a bandeau to go under it.
