In the spirit of Coachella (why am I not there?) I thought I would do a festival inspired style collage post! This is exactly what you would wear at a festival (at least I wouldn't), so it is more of an everyday/city version of the trend. I have always loved lace and leather but never considered combining the two in an outfit..
Starting off with a white dress you can do a lot - dress it up with a red lip (I have an obsession) and a pair of heels or dress it down with a cardigan, some boots and some necklaces. It is one of those staple items that in my opinion are essential for a summer wardrobe (I am still looking with my Little White Dress). Whats more - a white dress is the perfect trick to make you look a little more tanned. I found this lovely, simple Vero Moda dress (fair price! yay!) which was my style canvas for this collage. From there I went a little accessory crazy. Recently, I have become obsessed with layering long necklaces and I thought it was perfect for the vibe (duuuuuuddeeee) of this outfit. Next up I wanted to add the one accessory item that I can't wear (I really wish it id suit me) but is a typical summery festival piece - the flower headband/headpiece. I found this gorgeous white/cream colour flower crown that fits perfectly with the outfit!
Now onto the leather! There is nothing I love more than a good ankle boot - especially when it is paired with a summer dress! It creates the perfect sweet and summery meets rock and roll/country babe. I went with a dark leather colour because it creates a nice contrast with the pale colours of the dress and other accessories. With a boot like the one in the collage, you can easily dress down your typical pretty summer dress and give it some edge. Finally is the essential item of... the handbag. If there is one item of clothing/accessory I could shop for endlessly it would be purses and handbags. This one is from Forever 21 and looks a lot like the much loved Alexa Mulberry bag - perfection for us students!
