Hail the Logo Tee

Designers are taking notice of cheeky sayings and putting them directly onto one of our ultimate casual wardrobe staples; the tee shirt. The logo tee is an easy to wear article that has become a favorite among fashion bloggers, models, and celebrities. The key is turning the simple logo tee into a statement piece.

Play with this vintage look and pair it with distressed denim and complete the ensemble with a pair of rocker heels. Opposites attract and this combination is edgy, yet essentially effortless. For even more juxtaposition, throw on your tee with a leather skirt and flats. As fall draws near, opt for a logo sweatshirt over a pair of cotton or leather leggings. As always, a slogan tee is perfection when paired with jeans. As mentioned earlier, the distressed look is the ultimate for urban chic or sloppily tuck in your tee to a pair of rolled denim and pointed flats.

Take a dressier approach by adding jewels or glam things up with a black blazer or shine in a metallic crop blazer and complete the look with booties. Throw in color by strapping up in a pair of colored pumps. Another effortless option is to combine the tee with an A-line solid skirt. It will flatter your figure while still appearing cool and casual. Lastly, stand up for what you believe in! Everyone loves a tee for a cause! Mix and match your logo or printed tee with almost anything in your closet and you are sure to make low key look lovely!

Fall's Peplum Party

It's a trend that has been dominating the runways and seems to be one that is sticking. The peplum has taken over and simply can't be ignored for fall. Not only is this a chic twist on your every-day blouse or top, but it is ridiculously flattering! With so many options and ways to style the peplum top; you can instantly transition from work to play!

A tailored top will be ultimate for your work week. Pair them with a sleek trousers for fall. Wide or skinny pants work with this as well. Go with what feels most comfortable and flatters your shape. Brighten up your otherwise lackluster work attire with a bright pop of color over those black pants. If your office is a little on the conservative side, try a muted patterned peplum top with neutral colors. This exaggerated top is also perfection paired with a pencil skirt. It creates sleek lines and classic style, perfect for the work world.

Distressed denim is another trend that we can't seem to get enough of. Put a peplum top over the relaxed look for a combination of chic and grunge. The combination is amazing and fresh for fall! Add a pointy heel for an effortless but dazzling combination.

Don't hesitate to venture outside of the peplum top trend and opt for a peplum skirt or dress. These pieces are statement pieces and can be as structured or as boho as you would like. Style a skirt with a fitted, sleeveless blouse or plain white tee for warmer temperatures and wear it with a chunky sweater and booties for fall. A figure flattering sheath dress with the addition of a peplum is perfection! Add a chunky necklace or or large earrings.

Add umph to any outfit this fall and get peplum crazed!
