Fashion According to That Girl
One of the classic television shows I always loved to watch growing up was the show That Girl! The fashion featured in every episode was always one of my favorite aspects of That Girl and kept me tuning in. Today I want to share my analysis of the fashion displayed in the show That Girl and how it changed over the years. For five seasons Ann Marie of the show That Girl inspired generations of women (including myself) to follow their dreams. Another thing Ann happened to do was have a knack for dressing with all of the fashion trends! Over the course of the television show That Girl, Ann…

The Hot Accessory of 2019: Initial & Name Jewelry
Summertime is when scarves and high necklines are no longer needed, but sometimes we still want to wear the perfect accessory. One micro-trend I have been noticing a lot of when it comes to casual street style are initial and name jewelry! This fun little trend really personalizes any outfit and makes for the perfect accessory! Personally, I fell like necklaces go best with v-neck and scoop neck shapes and that is why this trend is so perfect for the summer! I love wearing my initial or name necklace with a cute summer dress, but it also works really well with a t-shirt and shorts. There are so many cute…

The Two-Toned Polo
I have been absolutely loving polos this summer! To me it is the perfect addition to any wardrobe because it is both classy and fun. Today I wanted to share another cute polo I will be wearing a ton this summer that reminds me so much of the gingham trend that was so popular last spring/summer. The one aspect of this polo that I am always drawn to is the two-toned style. With the collar being white and the print a nice navy blue, it really gives this polo a fun two-toned look. It really adds another pop to the overall outfit that wouldn’t be there if the collar was,…

This website has thrived in the last year and it is all due to the love and care every Faintly Familiar reader has given to this community.

The Making of the Flatform Trend
There are only a few times in fashion history we have seen a piece of clothing or an accessory encompass both fashionability and comfort. For instance, the classic white t-shirt, a anklets, and ballet flats are all just a few examples of timeless clothing from the past. Today, I introduce to you the a modern version of stylish and comfort — the flatform. I have been eyeing these shoes for a while now and the summer of 2019 is finally when it will get to shine! Now, I know that flatforms sounds like a funny little name, but that is because this trendy shoe is a mix of flats and…

What I Wore for Memorial Day 2019
As I get older, the holidays that mean the most to me are less about receiving gifts and more about the people you surround yourself with. Six-year-old Sarah might have told you that her favorite holiday was Christmas or even her birthday. But mature nearly twenty-year-old Sarah is much more invested in the holidays like Thanksgiving (when everyone can be together), the 4th of July, and Memorial Day when those we know or not are remembered for their dedication and sacrifice. So, I wanted to share what I wore on Memorial Day not because it is all about the fashion, but because it is about how I honored those who…

Happy to “Bee” Here
Nothing can truly beat a classic white t-shirt or polo. When you combine those two elements with a simple bee pattern, sky is the limit with how you can style it! Every summer there always seems to be some kind of animal, or in this case a insect, that acts as the fashionable symbol of the year. Well, I believe that 2019’s summer fashion symbol is the bee. I have a detailed theory as to why, but I won’t go into all of that right now and instead I will talk about all of that later. Anyway, back to this polo. I have always had a love for the buttoned…

The Underrated Style of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy
Any woman whose mother-in-law was Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis (I just wrote a post all about Jackie’s style too) would have been a little nervous when it came to filling in Jackie’s fashion shoes. However, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy was a strong, opinionated lady who knew what she liked. Today, I will be focusing on the underrated style of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and how she changed fashion forever. Although when we think of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s life we think of her untimely death, there is so much she contributed to life and fashion while she was alive. Modern street style would not be the same if it were not for Carolyn. Today, you can easily draw…

The Tie-Dye Trend
One of the more surprising trends that I have noticed this spring is one involving tie-dye. It is in so many places these days and can even be found in another spring/summer 2019 trend, the bucket hat. There are so many elements thrown together into this particular trend. For instance, the fusion of color found in the tie-dye trend are similar but a more muted version of the colors we have seen with the neon trend. Additionally, there are also many aspects of the tie-dye trend that has taken over spring fashion that contain the specific look and feel of spring. In my opinion, this just goes to show that…

How to Wear Knits in the Spring
Spring can be a rather difficult time of year to dress for, but it doesn’t have to be. I like to switch it up this time of year by wearing a short sleeved cardigan! Not all cardigans are created equally, and often times we see them being worn as a complementary piece to an outfit not one of the main staples. Just by simply switching things up and wearing a nice short sleeved cardigan as a top can really create a whole new kind of ensemble! Another element to wearing knits in the spring choosing the right color. This peachy/orange shade has so many different shades it can be worn…
