Tuesday Outfit

Today, I attempted the 2015 fashion trend- "military green". I decided to mix my olive green blazer- giving the more "military rough" look- with my coral blouse and boot-cut jeans- a "classy" look. I accessorized with my gold chain necklace- which can be viewed as "classy" or "rough".

2015 Fashion Trends

Happy New Year!!! I am so grateful for another year filled with wonderful memories made with many family and friends! And I look forward to another year filled with many more memorable experiences! To start off this new year, I have researched what the 2015 fashion trends are. I hope that you are inspired by my research to try out some- if not all- of these new and returning trends.  

One-shoulder Cut

Similar to the 2014 "off-the-shoulder" style, the one-shoulder cut may be just right for that next date night.

 All-white

It's all in! Every shade and texture, mixed and matched.

With the color black being my "go-to" color, I am relieved to see this color return, paired with white to be the "in color", expressed by different textures and patterns.

 When paired with tailored button-down tops, blazers and high heels, the culottes can be just right for work.

Gingham
