The Trendy Glasses Shape of 2019 & 2020
The photos in this blog post are going to be a bit strange to my Faintly Familiar Family because they will be seeing me in an unusually form. Today I am wearing glasses. Yes, the frames are my prescription based frames and a style choice occasionally. I’m a bit of a free spirit so generally I like the freedom of wearing contacts, however, I do feel like a cute pair of glasses frames can really go a long way in making your outfit look cute. Even if they are not prescription based glasses, just a fashionable pair of frames can really be the perfect accessory! With the wide variety of…

80s Inspiration & Structured Sleeves
There’s a lot to love about the 80s, but the first thing to pop into your mind is probably not the clothing. When people think of this decade they usually categorize the clothing as neon, sweatbands, and a ton of shoulder pads. However, there are a lot of style cues that are being picked up bu the fashion industry in our modern era from the structure of 80s clothing. The first of many things have been the neon trend that has taken over fashion for quite some time now. If you have been reading Faintly Familiar over the past year of its existence, then you know I was way ahead…

The Peacoat Trend
Long before it became the trend of the season, I was wearing this fabulous peacoat! Last year, I went on the long and treacherous search for the perfect fall and winter coat for those days when it wasn’t super cold, but definitely cold enough to warrant wearing a coat. So I went shopping for a peacoat! Fast forward to this year, and I am seeing a lot more ladies follow suit in the peacoat path. This is exciting to me because I believe the peacoat always looks so classic and can dress up almost any outfit! I know that this style of coat is never truly “out of style”, but…

Why Fruit Prints are Not Just for Women
This summer we have seen prints of all kinds. Gingham, geometric, aztec, and so many more, but fruit is the one to me that seems so different and fun! I have seen so many ladies wear some of the prettiest lemon printed dresses and blouses, it occurred to me that this lasting trend works great on men, too! Throwing on a crisp button up with a cool print like the one above can be such a fun way to not only stay on trend, but to also stand out. This would be the perfect outfit for a cookout, night with family and friends, or a trip to the movies! As the…

Gingham Tank
Not to long ago, I wrote a blog post calling gingham one of the biggest prints of the summer. This prediction did not disappoint! I found this cute tank top at Target. The ruffle was one of my favorite features about this tank when I bought it. However, the first day I wore this top there was a bit of a breeze outside and I had that ruffle flying in my face. It provided for some pretty funny blooper photos though so I was fine with it. Sometimes the wind is our friend and sometimes it is not. Either way, this gingham look is classic and a total win whether…
