How to accessorize a black dress

A black dress is a wardrobe staple. Every one of us at some point has a black dress in our closet that we wear for interviews, funerals or on dates. Black is a color with which you just cannot go wrong. But sometimes, you might feel that too much black can be quite overwhelming. To overcome this, you might want to accessorize your black dress to bring a new dimension to your look.

Belts

If you have an hour-glass figure or just want to emphasize on your waist, you might want to complement your black skater dress with a belt at the waist. The belt could be in a contrasting color such as a deep red, turquoise or even yellow.

Shoes

For shoes you might opt for ankle boots or high stilettos. The boots could be in a dark grey color if you want to stay in the dark palette and if you prefer heels, you might choose colors such as red, orange, yellow or white, depending on the look that you are going for. Black heels also work wonders if you are going for the classic all-black look.

Jewelry

If you are going for a red-black combination for example, you might want to choose jewelries of the same color, which is red in this case. Another jewelry combination that works well with black if you are going for an all-black look is silver. You could pair your black dress with a silver necklace or silver and black earrings.

How to dress grunge

The grunge look is that style which we inherited from the late 80s and 90s. Grunge makes us think of bands such as Nirvana and Alice in Chains. However, grunge in fashion, has been a recurring theme and the below tips will help you to get that grunge look!

Choosing your top
Choose a top a size larger than what you would actually wear. To channel the grunge look, avoid bright colors like plague! Instead choose muted colors or go for black.

Flannel shirt
The flannel shirt is the key piece to any grunge look, whether you wear it with jean or over a baby doll skirt. Again opt for muted colors.

Jeans
Ripped and faded denims are essential elements of a grunge wardrobe. Usually, store bought faded jeans would not create the same effect as compared to if you had ripped your own jeans. This makes for a good DIY activity as well.

Shoes
Invest in high-top shoes such as Converse and Doc Marten boots.

Stockings
Consider wearing ripped stocking or stockings made to look ripped. This will complement your high-top shoes or boots.

Jewelry
Grunge is not about wearing too much jewelry. For earrings, go for something simple and small. Wear leather bracelets or simple braided bracelets in dark colors like grey, black or brown.

Thrift stores
If you cannot find clothing elements that look used or worn out enough to give you that grunge look, try thrift stores. These places are packed full of genuinely vintage stuff. You might find just the right hightop shoes or flannel shirts there.

5 Must Know Tips for Walking in High Heels

Heels are elements of our wardrobe that we often rant about but can’t do without. We love the effect that heels have on our legs and the below tips could help you improve the way you wear them.

1. Test your heels beforehand
If you have bought a special pair for an upcoming event, test them by wearing them around the house or to run errands. This will help you figure out if you would be needing cushioning or protection on your feet in certain places where there might be eventual rubs.

2. Scuff the sole of your shoes
There’s nothing worse than wearing brand new high heels on a smooth and slippery floor. A simple solution to prevent this is to scuff your shoe soles with sandpaper or walking on rough materials such as gravel. You can also apply a silicone rubber coating compound to make your soles less slippery.

3. Keep a straight posture and be confident
Walk elegantly and gracefully with your legs extended with each step. This will make you look coordinated and confident.

4. Take small breaks
Take a break from the dance floor or standing up chats by sitting down every 30 minutes or so. This will take some of the pressure off your toes and your feet would be able to last longer at the party.

5. Sign up for yoga or pilates
A long run solution to walking better in heels is to sign up for yoga or pilates classes. These exercises will improve your balance and strengthen your core muscles.

Two Summer Styles Bound to Keep You Looking Hot

Article written by Fresh Boutique

It’s never too soon to begin thinking about summer fashion styles. In fact, winter might be the best time to start—it gives you something to look forward to! While it’s tough planning this far ahead, it’s not impossible. Let’s take a look at some trends that are sure to catch attention.

Less is always more and next summer won’t be any different. Short shorts and midriff have been a favorite look for celebrities like Rihanna, Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus. Expect to see more of that as the weather gets warmer. These looks are always casual, but can be dressed up as you see fit. Whenever short shorts are involved, though, heels are an easy way to make more of your legs.

Hipster chic is the second trend you can expect to see going strong this summer. So if you’re wearing short shorts, don’t shy away from choosing denim as the material. Thick framed glasses will continue being fashionable too. It seems like just about any outfit can be considered hipster, if you add thick frames. Plaid is always a safe material, too, if you want to have that hipster look. Anything retro will do as well—think vintage band t-shirts. Lastly, women wearing men’s clothing is as hipster as it gets. Find cute ways to retrofit them to your body type and you’ll pass the hipster test.

Winter can be a tough time to be fashion forward. When the weather gets cold, style often comes second to warmth. But this is no reason you can’t think ahead to the days of summer.
