On the Fringe of Something Beautiful

Fringe bags are back!  We are on the fringe of spring weather in Chicago, where I'm from, and to celebrate we're springing back to a popular fall trend with a new twist.  Styling fringe bags can be a bit tricky.  With the wrong outfit they can look frompy or outdated.  Keep reading for tips on styling fringe bags for Spring 2015.  If you would like to purchase any of the items pictured above, I provided the links at the end of this post.

Lovely Layers

Cozy by beinspiredbyme featuring a sterling silver bracelet

     During the summer, I posted Stay Cool, Look Hot.  Should I be so cliche and corny and call this one Stay Warm, Look Cool?  Not this time, but I had to put it out there.  Couldn't help myself.  Anyway,  hopefully my readers are staying warm.  Where I live it has been frigid.  Sometimes it's hard to stay toasty and still look trendy (I'm on a roll), but I created a look to demonstrate how to do just that.  If you like any of these items, they're linked at the bottom of this post.

Unexpected Trend Alert

Light pink and grey by beinspiredbyme featuring Oroton

     This trend came as a surprise to me this season.  Generally, I think of pastels as a springtime trend, but here they are this fall.  I have to say I'm pretty excited.  Fall brings in some chunky and edgy fashion pieces, but the pastel colors are keeping them flirty and feminine.  My readers know my philosophy by now that edgy+girl=glam.  Math lesson of the day.  You're welcome, ladies.  Speaking of numbers, all of the items are linked at the bottom of this post if you'd like to purchase them.

Rose Gold & Mixing Metals

What's my current favorite trend?  Rose gold.  We're seeing this everywhere from major designers like Michael Kors to small boutique shops.  Pictured above is an example of how to rock rose gold.  If you'd like to purchase any of the above items, they're linked at the bottom of this post.

Totally Trendy Without Being Too Much!

Summer Chevron by beinspiredbyme featuring a chevron pattern dress

It has been a while since I've blogged and I am sorry about that.  Life got super busy, but I am back with even more fashion knowledge!

...And again with the Polyvore collages.  I just cannot get enough!  It lets me put all my ideas into pictures..so perf!  Anywho... Let's talk trends, ladies!  This gorgeous outfit is rockin' a few of this summer's hottest. And if you want to purchase any of these they are linked at the bottom of this article thanks to Polyvore.

Stay Cool, Look Hot

Simple and elegant by beinspiredbyme featuring a heart necklace

My favorite hobby: making Polyvore collages!  This is a summery glam look.  When you're going to an event in the sweltering heat, sometimes it can be difficult to find the right balance between elegant and classy and cool and comfortable.  This outfit is just that.  If you'd like to purchase any of the items in this collage, they are linked at the end of this post.

What Do You Wear With Wedge Sneakers?

What Do You Wear With Wedge Sneakers? by lynntibbs featuring jimmy choo

Well, it's pretty obvious that Polyvore is my favorite site.  Here is yet another fashion collage I have made using this website.  I entered this into their contest called "What Do You Wear With Wedge Sneakers?".  So, if you're on Polyvore, please check this out.  It's one of my favorite looks.  If you like this look and want to purchase any of the items, they're linked at the bottom of this post (because I finally learned how to post straight from Polyvore!).

Pretty Prints with a Classic Twist!

All of my readers already know about my love of prints... and making Polyvore collages.  In this collage, I show you how to take a classic little black dress and make it funky, trendy, and fun!

Pow! A pop of color!

Another fashion collage I made via Polyvore.  Love that website!  I spent some time exploring new parts of the city today; So, this look is really inspired by street fashion.  It uses a funky pattern and bright pops of color.  The style of the shoes and hat give it an urban feel.  The sleek, fitted solid black crop top adds a bit more order to this crazy style.  The shoes and hat coordinate with the colors in the print, but I kept them solid so that the focus of the outfit remains the leggings.

Beachy Boardwalk Collage

All this beautiful warm weather has got me dying for a trip to the beach!  But, technically it's still spring and the beaches aren't open yet..sad face.  I guess I'll just have to walk along the beach from a distance.  So, here's my beach boardwalk-inspired look collage.
