Style Advice of the Week: Legs for Days

            It’s that time of year when you walk to class in the morning and it’s barely above freezing but when you go to lunch it’s suddenly 60 degrees and sunny. To be prepared for these crazy weather changes it’s important to have layers but to make sure your main layer is comfortable and keeps you cool. But sometimes it’s easy to appear bulky when trying to layer. This fashionista knows how to rock the layered look and manage to stay comfortable and chic. She picked a t-shirt dress with a high slit but modest neckline and hemline. The slit shows off her amazing legs and hwen it gets warm out in the afternoon will keep her cool. She paired it with a leather jacket, black pumps, a black bowler hat and a cute Betsey Johnson clutch.

            Her t-shirt dress is able to keep her cool and comfortable while running around all day and her motorcycle jacket can keep her warm during the morning. And whenever she may need it. When rushing to classes it’s important to stay comfortable, so her heels are low and they aren’t brand new never been worn before, they’re worn in. This fashionista told me she was on her way to a coffee date after her next class, taking this t-shirt dress from a cozy class choice, to a chic casual date ensemble. It’s simple, yet looks great and effortless. Her accessories keep it interesting and let her stand out in the crowd.

            One way to make this style your own would be to pair a t-shirt dress with a light cardigan or a fitted blazer, it would add structure and interest with mixing fabric choices. The t-shirt dress is a comfy go to look for the spring and can be worn with a variety of shoe choices. So if you’re really busy, instead of wearing heels try ankle boots or a fun printed pair of flats or sandals in a bright, contrasting color. For me it’s all about the shoes, if I feel comfortable I know I can rock any outfit and feel great all day long. This is a great look that can be taken from classes to coffee dates and allows you to stay cool and comfortable all day long. So what are you waiting for? My style advice for this week is to try and rock that casual t-shirt dress in your own way for this new spring season by adding colorful shoes and structured jackets.

Style on,
