ALL IN THE DETAILS: Silver Lining

August 13th, 2015 at 2:00am

It is August, which means the cooler months are approaching. Fashionistas are pulling out their flannels. Flannels have become an essential for Fashionista’s closets. The preppy style is popular because there are so many ways to style these tops. The best way to style is a statement necklace. Buttoning the shirt all the way brings a masculine touch to the complete look. Adding the statement necklace takes the flannel the extra mile.

To still stay in season, this Fashionista is wearing a flannel that is light in fabric and has bright colors. Buttoning up the flannel all the way will allow you to showcase the statement necklace. If you feel like you’re suffocating, you can leave one button open. The statement necklace makes the look more personal because it is based on your personal style. This statement necklace that this lovely Fashionista is wearing is bohemian-inspired.

A statement necklace is a nice little peek-a-boo. It brings attention to the eyes and gives the outfit a visual interest. Nobody wants an outfit that is dull or looks like everyone else’s. Jewelry makes or breaks the outfit. It is an important tool to showcase your beautiful personality and makes you stand out among the rest.

How To: To imitate this look, get a flannel top. It can be in any color combination of your choosing. Pair the top with distressed boyfriend jeans because it goes with the masculine look we are going for. Button the top as high as you can, then put on a bold statement necklace. As an option, you can put on a wide brim hat.

    I am a media studies major with a concentration of journalism and have a minor in English. As a hobby I write poetry and stories. I knew that writing was my calling so once I learned about College Fashionista I did not hesitate to apply. This combines two of my favorite things, fashion and writing. I look at fashion as a mirror. It reflects you who are. It allowed me to express myself in a way I couldn’t before. Through fashion I was able to embrace who I am as a woman and showcase that to people. I will not say I have a specific style because I like to play around with different styles, prints, and colors. I love playing with accessories and make-up to take a basic outfit to the next level. For example, taking a plain black dress and pairing it with a colorful, bold necklace. I like to show different sides of myself in a day-to-day basis. Clothes help me to build myself esteem because I show off my best assets. It is important to me to feel my absolute best. I get inspirations from my friends, YouTube, Instagram and Tumblr. My favorite places to shop are Forever 21, American Eagle Outfitters and Necessary Clothing. I have started my own YouTube channel. My channel focuses on all things beauty: fashion, make-up, hair, and inner beauty. I also started a fashion blog to showcase my style entitled poetsemptycloset.tumblr.com. I am very excited to be part of this team. I hope you enjoy the content.
