The Stripe Obsession

WEARING CROPPED STRIPE TEE AND BRACELETS BY FOREVER 21, SUPER DISTRESSED JEANS BY WAX, NECKLACES FROM CHARLOTTE RUSSE AND ETSY

I seem to be going through quite the stripe phase right now. I have no idea what has suddenly come over me but I have been shopping for various color stripe sweaters. This particular sweater here I purchased around a year (something like that) ago and it has been my favorite since the first time I wore it. It's cropped and loose fitting which happens to be some of the things I like. With my sense of style, it has to be cute (fitting my personality) but above all..comfortable. I cannot tolerate wearing anything that tends to make me the least bit uncomfortable. Not long after I seem to turn into this cranky, bitch witch. Anyways, gotta go hit the books!

Stay Fabulous,

Ash xoxo

It's such a fun outfit! It definitely shows the type of person that I am. Hope y'all like! =)

60 Minutes with Anna Wintour

So I was online doing my daily views of my youtube subscriptions and came across this awesome video with Anna Wintour. It is her interview with 60 minutes. I couldn't help but giggle while watching thinking about Jimmy, a good friend of mine who claims Anna Wintour is his mother and continuously strives to take her place one day.

Any who, the interview was from back in May. So if you missed it here is your chance to view it!

Check out the video clip of the interview below!

How to Put an Outfit Together

If you are trying to put together the perfect outfit, make sure you consider the occasion because you don’t want to be over dressed or look to formal and make sure you know what styles fit your body type best. Feel free to look in fashion magazines as well to help you gain some inspiration.

If you pretty much have in mind what you are looking for, an easy way to stay on track is to make a list of what you want so that way you stay focused and only shop for what you need. (Some of us go into a store shopping for a dress and walk out with an entire outfit! So try and stay on track. Plus it will help you same some $$)

When you go shopping remember to always try your clothes on. It is the most important part of putting an outfit together because you need to make sure that all of your clothes fit appropriately and that they are the right size, compliment your shape and doesn’t hide your shape. Show it off! Also be sure to do your shopping when you have quite a bit of time on your hands. If you rush your shopping then it could turn into a big disaster so you want to take your time with decision making for all of your outfits.

Most people when they shop for an outfit they forget all about shoes. Usually, the shoes are the last thing that people focus on but be careful when doing that. To be safe, look around and consider some options for shoes and you go around getting your outfit together. You don’t want to have the perfect outfits with the wrong shoes (just because you forgot to pick some up or the fact that it slipped your mind) don’t make getting shoes your last priority it is just as important as everything else that you are shopping for.

The important part to finish off you outfit is to add the perfect accessories, whether it’s a hat, belt, a purse, earrings, a necklace or anything. The accessories you use can either make or break your outfit. You can have too much going on or not enough. Make sure that it’s the right amount. If you are wearing something with a lot of bling all over or around the neckline, make sure you do a simple necklace or no necklace at all and then include dangling earrings (or studs) and a nice bracelet.

That’s all you need. Just make sure that you go through everything and consider every part of your outfit because that is what’s going to make it fabulous! Also, the day of getting dressed up into you outfit, allow yourself enough time to prepare and get ready. It is important to not rush into the outfit that you spent so much time putting together so you are sure to look your best! =)
