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…

The Bucket Hat Trend
Something I have noticed a whole lot of this summer are hats, particularly bucket hats. These accessories were everywhere in the 90’s, and today they are making a resurgence into fashion. We saw bucket hats make a surprising appearance on the runway with Christian Dior on their fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear collection. The way that Dior styled these classic accessories really made them so much more sophisticated and cute. I had to go find myself one after I saw the Dior runway! The bucket hat I am wearing here is from Forever 21 and it features another trend that I will be writing about in the near future. Bucket hats are…

Jackie O’s Impact on Fashion
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis is one of the most famous and world renowned fashion icons to ever exist. Few people reach the level of influence on fashion that Jackie did. Even to this day we still look to her style to guide our outfit decisions. Today, I will be looking at a few of the aspects that Jackie wore that we still see in fashion. The Classic Camel Coat Even to this day we consider a long, tan/camel colored coat to be a wardrobe staple. The 1970’s saw Jackie take a turn to influential casual style that was the perfect mix of business and comfort. A coat like this one can…

Secret Sequins
I understand that black is not the most cheerful spring color, but I think this quarter length top is absolutely perfect for this time of year! With all of the grass becoming a little greener and the flowers blooming, black really contrasts against these light backgrounds. Of course, black is never really a cool that goes out of style, but it is defiantly not typical for the spring season. One exciting element of this top is the two strands of black sequins that are visible on both sleeves! Really this black top is so much more fashion forward because of those two strands that I like to call secret sequins…

The Two Toned Denim Trend
Something I have been noticing a lot more of recently is that two toned denim in long jeans and shorts has become something of a micro-trend. Personally, I find this micro-trend very fun and unique! This really will add a little something extra that you can mix and match both spring and summer outfits with. I recently purchased a pair of denim shorts that features this two toned denim look and I thought it would be so much fun to try with different tops and blouses. Also, you wear a pair of the trendy white cowboy boots or just a classic brown pair they will look super cute with these…
