Pop of Color

I love love love more than anything in the world black and white. I also very much enjoy doing black and white with a POP of color. I have this great necklace from Forever 21 that I purchased in December and today, I remembered that I got this bag in Milan at Zara last summer. So perfectly it went with Express High Rise Jeans and a striped cropped top from H&M I picked up last week. The same day I go the yellow bag, I also go these amazing shoes from Zara as well. I couldn't think of an outfit that describes me more perfectly. 

I was very skeptical about trying the ankle strap at first. I feel I have shorter legs, and I don't want to cut them off more. I'm realizing it a trend anyone can pull off. I now have two pairs of ankle strap flats and one pair (and maybe more on the way) of heels. I really like it. I think it's sexy trend, but it's not like you are showing more or less skin while wearing it. DON'T be afraid to try it!

Horizontal stripes can also be a tricky trend. I think the thinner the better. Also, the less space in between the better. All three of the trends I'm wearing can be tricky, but don't be afraid to try things. I am definitely still learning. I look back some days and I'm like "What was I thinking!?", but it's a part of being a human! Another note, my entire outfit was under $120, so being trendy can be cheap AND trends also do move from season to season. Two of these items are from last summer!
