If there is one word I cannot remember for the life of me to spell, it would be juxtapose. I don’t even know why, but somehow I always find myself spell checking to make sure it’s spelled correctly. Well, even if I don’t pass the spelling bee contest because of it, I’m still very much infatuated with juxtaposing outfits. In my opinion, some of the most interesting outfits usually come from mixing different elements of color and ordinary, classic and trendy, edgy and sweet…breaking up the expected and pairing it with the unexpected. Oh, I also hate the word hors d’oeuvres. Who came up with these words? :)

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a good print, but this summer, it’s not stripes, polka dots or leopard that has me swooning, it’s fruit prints! Ok, I’m totally bullsh*ting because I love all of those prints above, but there’s something so much sweeter about fruit prints that can add a fun squeeze of whimsy zest to any basic look! So you see, fruits are not just for eating but they are also great for wearing as well! :)

Here are some of my favorites! What do you think about fruit prints?

I work in a pretty conservative office so my 9-5 outfits usually consist of a pencil skirt, blouse and sweater, but that doesn’t mean it has to be boring. To be honest, work attire bores me to sleep. Ok maybe it’s not that bad, but I rather be in cut-off shorts and a tee. So for the most part,  I keep work attire pretty simple but will try to insert elements of my personality by using colors, textures and shapes. I love this pencil skirt because of the length and fit but since it’s a bit tight, I opted for a flared peplum top that covers my hips, added a small belt to cinch my waist and kept the rest pretty basic with black and white.

Oh those fugly overalls. You know, the comfy, classic one piece denims with those buckles that was totally “cute-sie,” way way back when your mom used to forced you into as a toddler. There were short ones, long ones, floral ones, colorful ones, corduroy ones and sometimes we’d even leave one strap unbuckled. Well, they are back!! But as fashion always has a way of playing tricks on us, it went from fug to fab. Well, at least for me it did.

Casually styled, overalls can be dressed up with a pair of heels and blouse or dressed down with a crop top and pair of Chucks. However way you wear them, overalls are fun and can give your style a playful edge. It’s no wonder I can’t resist their cozy charm.

Here are some of my favorite looks. Which one is your favorite?
