Totally Tribal

As we transition into Fall, there are may trends on the horizon that your wardrobe is dying for! It's time to go tribal and be bold! The tribal trend consists of strong graphic prints with an Aztec feel to them. These can be black and white or full of color!

Because the prints are oversized, they look best on simple shapes. Think a shift dress, tunic or loose chiffon blouse. When working to accessorize this look, go for natural accents such as a wooden arm bangle or brushed gold. Matte sets off the colors and will complement the prints perfectly. As the weather gets slightly cooler, opt for a different approach to your boring cable knit sweater. Try a tribal inspired poncho or cape over leggings or skinny jeans. For an ultra daring look, try a pair of waxed tribal print pants! Make sure not to go overboard with prints on this look. Go for a solid on the top and an understated flat or bootie.

If you would like to ease yourself into the trend, start by pairing an ethnic printed clutch or over the shoulder slouchy bag with your every day outfit. There are also tons of tribal bracelets that stack well with other jewelry to try!

Get inspired, go tribal! 

Chambray Perfection

You've seen it everywhere! Blogs, store windows, on all the clothing racks...it's chambray! And for those of you who were wondering; cham·bray noun \ˈsham-ˌbrā, -brē\ a lightweight clothing fabric with colored warp and white filling yarms. Looks like denim, feels like cotton! Chambray shirts are totally basic and totally necessary! From dresses, to tops to skirts...this stylish fabric is calling your name! 

The classic chambray shirt can easily take you from summer to fall. While it's still warm, pair it with almost any color or pattern of shorts. Tuck it in, add a belt and you're out the door! Put it with a pastel or floral skirt and flats as your transition into fall. One of my favorite looks is the chambray tunic over leggings with riding boots or a loafer. Since colored skinnys have become a wardrobe essential, a chambray top is easily integrated with all colors! The denim color can almost be considered a neutral, almost all jewelry will contrast well! Colored jewelry, silver, gold or gemstones.

A chambray skirt will look great with a solid or stripped top. Add a cardigan to balance out the look. The chambray dress is also very popular. It fits like a shirt dress and is very forgiving to any figure! For a more fitted silhouette, belt it. Add color with a scarf or bold flats. Cowboy boots are also universally flattering with chambray!

It's soft, cozy and refreshing and it comes in a dreamy palette of blues and grays. What's not to love?
