A Little Bit of Lace
Today’s featured item on the Faintly Familiar “Look Book” is an item sharing a lace detail that is right on trend with all of the lace trimmings of the season! Even on the runways for spring 2020 there are so many different designs that include some kind of lace detailing. Personally, I have always been a fan of any kind of collar, but especially the Peter Pan collar! This top that I found from Shein combines a fun and classic trend with the collar detail that I love. This particular top will be great for the autumn season, too! The collar will be perfect as a base layer underneath a…

Johnathan Simkhai Spring 2020
Of all of the runways that have show this Fashion Month so far, the most intriguing of them all for me is the Johnathan Simkhai runway. This wasn’t a collection that will define a fashion era, but, I believe, it will hold some weight when it comes to the trends we will see in 2020. The overalls vibe I get from this spring 2020 collection is definitely late 1800s early 1900s. If you look back in fashion history, you can see how these two different timelines kind of go along with one another and, ultimately, gave way to each other. Let me separate these two inspirational eras a little bit.…

A 60s Inspired Dress with a Modern Twist
There are so many different decades and time eras that inspire me when it comes to fashion, and one of those decades is the 60s! Although there are a variety of sources I take inspiration from, the 60s is one I never get tired of. However, this dress in particular is one that has some unique twists that make it distinctly a modern piece. A few of the designs that makes this dress a modern, 60s classic are the halter top, the silhouette of the dress, and the bold yet tasteful floral print. The print featured on this dress is not your grandmother’s couch design (although we do all love…

Mustard Yellow is the Autumn Shade of Fall 2019
Each season we have our go-to colors for whatever time of the year we are trying to dress for. Spring sees a slew of pastels (even if Miranda Priestly would roll her eyes), winter brings in holiday colors, and fall is the time for browns and burgundies. This limited color palette for each season may feel a little limiting, but there is always one break out star of the pack that ends up being THE shade of that particular season. For the fall of 2019, the “IT” color will be mustard yellow! Now, this may seem like another basic fall color to wear, but there are so many different shades…

Leap Into Leopard Print
This is typically the time of year that I struggle to find the appropriate clothing to wear. Either the weather is acting weird, the summer wardrobe I have doesn’t fit the flavor of that day, or I am just too excited for fall that I end up not wanting to wear anything I have been wearing for the past three months. All of this may sound a little odd, but I am hoping I am not alone in this sentiment. For the folks who feel like me, there is hope! Today I am here to introduce you to the trend and subtle wardrobe delight that is leopard print. Animal prints…

A Look at Olive Overalls Dresses
Overalls dresses are going to be all the rage this fall 2019 as I already expressed in my blog post titled “How to Style a Denim Overalls Dress for Summer“. Today I want to expand on how you can wear this trendy item and change up the color scheme a little bit. I quite possibly like this overalls dress even better than my classic denim dress simply because olive green is so chic! The black mock turtleneck neck t-shirt I pair with the olive green shade made a perfect combo, and really creates a fun street style vibe. Since this is more of a fall 2019 trend, I feel like…

Embracing Mint Green for Fall
Mint green can be a really tricky color to pull off, but when done correctly it can be a real knockout win in the fashion department! This color also acts as the perfect transitional color from summer wardrobe to fall wardrobe. The way I have been tackling the sometimes hard to wear shade of mint green is by wearing my best auburn button up skirt. This skirt falls right in line with the exposed buttons trend and also adds a little flavor of fall. While it is still pretty hot outside where I live, this tank top and skirt combo is perfect for staying cool out and looking fashionable! Although…
