Get Stacy's Look: Wearing your white button down shirt underneath your fitted sweater looks great when the collar and cuff are peaking out of your sweater. Go for patterned mini skirt and tights and finish the look with statement necklace.

The Pear Shaped Fashionista: If you are heavy on the bottom like Lauran Conrad go for full skirt and go for slouchy layering piece like this denim jacket to add little bit of bulk! Make sure you have a fitted top if you are going for layering piece.

The Inverted Triangle Shaped Trendsetter: If yo are heavy on the top, it doesn't mean you cannot wear  dramatic, flimsy and feminine tops. Make sure to have less drama going on the top...Instead have fun with sleeve length and style. Go for long chain necklaces rather than short one which wold make you look bulky. Triangle shaped women are blessed with great legs. Show off those beautiful legs with A- Line printed mini skirt since your bottom half is smaller than your top half. Finally finish the look with colourful heels.

Go for feminine pieces like floral skirt and finish the look with crossbody bag and a simple flat.

The Spring Lover: During spring you are in the mood of embracing colours since the winter blue has passed. Go for transitional pieces like a cute sweater or a cardigan in bright colour to wear with your statement making floral mini skirt. Finish the look with sunglasses & dark colour crossbody bag.

The Winter Lover: For winter all you need is a great coat, perfect over the knee boots and tights with your fitted polished mini. The trick is to play with beautiful pastel colours because pastels are not solely reserved for spring season!

How To Wear Culottes From Day To Night

Hey Fashion Lovers!

This summer was all about culottes for me. I dressed them up and dressed them down depending on the occasion. Here is a picture of me in Washington during July wearing Forever 21 culottes ( 28 dollar) and Forever 21 top (20 dollar) .

The occasion: sight seeing in Washington in the morning  followed by Dinner in New Jersey.

Culottes could take you from day to night during summer. It's comfortable, breathable, breezy and stylish. 

Read on to know more.

As I had to attend a casual dinner party at night but at the same time don't want to look I have put a lot of effort I made sure my accessories stand out. In this case statement sunglasses from Aldo (10 dollar) Egyptian inspired turquoise necklace from Sears (19 dollar) and gold slip on from Aldo (40 dollar).

By changing the appearance of your tops or shirts can change and give a whole new look to any outfit instantly. My off the shoulder top now has scoop neck and looks Victorian.

As I would be spending the whole day in the sun and needed to pack a lot of things in my bag like water bottle, sunscreen, lipstick I went for structured bag in ivory colour. This colour adds richness and is perfect for the dinner party.

The trend to try this year is Morocco inspired prints. This print was seen in  Fall 2016( Versace, Giambatista Valli and Drias Van Noten) 

Fashion Tip: Go for loose silhouette and shape to get in the Persian mood

Another trend to try throughout this 2015 year is Victorian inspired high neckline. Whether you choose high neck collar, or high neckline, turtle neck or high neck frilled collar, this year is all about Victorian Era. Though it's a off the shoulder top I made sure the neckline starts from just below my throat.

Let me know what you think about this look and how you would dress down and up your culottes.
