Ultralight Beam

As my style has evolved, I have kept in mind the importance of simplicity and neutrality, two things that give garments longevity and ensure they will stay in style as trends pass.

The outfit I'm wearing below is one my favorites, precisely because it's simple and sleek. If you’re like me, you’re most comfortable in black. All black is always a great choice, though not so great to photograph. That’s why I switched out a black shirt for this asymmetrical lavender blouse. Manufactured by Zara, it gives my outfit an edge without taking it over the top.

I wore this outfit on a day out with my friends. We were shopping, stopping at Starbucks and even went on an apartment viewing. And later that night, it was the ideal outfit for a dinner date.

Identify your favorite neutral colors—like beige, grey, white, black and earth tones—and stick to them. Before you know it, everything in your wardrobe will match and you’ll have endless outfits.

After Dusk

I have this habit where if I really like a garment, I buy it in every color it is made in. This tank is an example of that. About a year ago, I posted this same tank in a different shade. One year later, I'm still rocking this piece. It never seems to get old.

Though I'm a student and journalist by day, I can get a little wild once the sun goes down, and this is an outfit I'd wear on a night out. It's flirty, not slutty. Refined, but not boring. The lace detail adds a dressy component to an otherwise basic tank and its adjustable straps let me choose just how much I'd like to reveal. 

The shorts, manufactured by H&M, are a great alternative to a mini skirt and provide me with much more mobility. And the best part: They have pockets, which totally comes in handy when fumbling with IDs and cash at a bar. Check out my outfit below and tweet me with your thoughts. Lastly, I joined Pinterest (I know I'm late), so check out my pins to see my ootds!
