It’s been awhile since I’ve published a post on the blog, and the reason is because… I’ve played around with the idea of starting a YouTube channel for the past five or six years, but I’ve alway been paralyzed by fear because I’m just a shy and soft-spoken person by nature. This year, though, I really wanted to challenge myself to step out of my comfort zones because growth will never happen unless I try something different. I’ll still try my best to update the blog with helpful fashion and beauty tips, but since I’m also taking classes during the week on top of working full-time, blog posts will follow a looser schedule.
As a fashion and personal style blogger, it may seem like I have a constant supply of new items in my wardrobe, but on the contrary, I actually don’t buy into every new trend or own a lot luxury items. After we have our budget and spending habits down, we can finally move on to the actually “shopping” part, and though this is my absolute favorite, I always make sure to go into it with the right mindset, and that’s the mindset to my wardrobe is an “investment. Think of wardrobe like this – if you can’t even get the basics and classics down in order to look chic and sophisticated everyday This year, as we change seasons and I clean out my wardrobe, I’m definitely going to be taking a look at what items I’ve consistently ignored for the last year or so, in order to evaluate what I still like and will wear, and of course, what I no longer want and need to get rid of.
Though I’m not going to be attending any festivals this year, I’m always such a big fan of festival season and all of the bohemian chic outfits that grace this time of the year! There’s just something about the warm sunshine, the relaxing desert, and the abundance of freedom that makes Coachella and festival season somewhat dreamy and magical (and all of the flower crowns and sparkly makeup definitely helps add to that illusion as well)! If you’re going to be going this year, and you’re still shopping for your festival looks, look no further because I’ve found the perfect dress for the season – this breezy maroon number with high slits, made of a slightly sheer fabric! This also makes it perfect for Coachella, since the weather can definitely shift drastically throughout the day; with this breezy number, you can always take it off if it ever gets too hot!
Like I mentioned earlier, LA is nowhere near warm enough for me to actually start wearing skirts or shorts, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still channel a warmer weather look. With a lighter color palette, nautical stripes perfectly embody the easy-going nature of warmer months, and it’s a big plus that the vertical print does wonders in helping you look leaner and taller. When wearing nautical stripes, we’re definitely trying to embody a fresh look that progressively steps away from colder weather, and the best way to bring this message to life is to opt for lighter fabrics, such as cotton or linen. For spring and summer outfits, here’s nothing more appropriate than a lighter color palette, and even though it’s not necessarily spring or summer just yet, I still try to incorporate as many of these colors into my wardrobe as possible.
