This Week's Gold Carpet Update: The VMAs Fashion Favorites

Taylor Swift looked gorgeous and showed her amazing figure in this glamorous beaded navy gown. Her retro hair and statement red lips tied the whole outfit together in full old Hollywood glam.

Shailene Woodley looked adorable at the VMAs, and rocked a perfectly worn crop top. The black crop top was a perfect combination with her printed high waisted skirt, and the bright colors from the skirt are enhanced by the neutral well-fitted top. Her outfit was both sophisticated and fun!

Allison Williams wore the most perfect little white dress.  It was simple yet elegant, and the lacy texture of the dress took it to the next level. Allison's pointy toe black heels complemented her dress perfectly, and she got points for making a smart choice by putting her hair up so that all eyes were on her dress. 

This week's Yes, No, and Maybe So

Back to School

Yes

Graphic tops are a school-year wardrobe staple. These funky tops can be worn in a variety of ways; with high waisted shorts, circle skirts, maxi skirts, and even tights. Go for colors that are pastel, or a bit muted because lighter colors can be worn more often than bright, loud prints and colors. 

These adorable tops can be found at Brandy Melville

No

As school approaches so do the fabulous jeans sales, but beware! While some printed jeans with muted patterns are cute, most of them are not. Jeans with loud patterns are unflattering, hard to wear, and will not match with many outfits. NOT cute.

Maybe So

High-low was high in fashion just this past spring, and we loved it! However, it must be worn right, and some high-low dresses like this one just look weird. The best high-low skirts/dresses are the ones that do not have an extreme dip in length like the one shown above. If you're going for a dramatic look, try bolder prints or fabrics instead. 

Urban Outfitters has a wide variety of unique dresses, take a look!

This Week's Gold Carpet Update: Cutouts

This week its all about....CUTOUTS. Now these can be used to show a little bit of skin but still be tasteful. In the pictures above^^ you can see how they are used on the red carpet. Remember, wear them wisely!

This week's Yes, No, and Maybe So

Yes

High waisted shorts are definetly in, but why not stray from the usual and try something different? Cuffed high waisted shorts allow you to alternate the length, allow more coverage of your rear, and in general, look super cute!

Pick up a pair at Urban Outfitters or Etsy

No

 

Overalls seem to be making a comeback, and lets just say we are NOT pleased. These monstrosities look sloppy, childish, and are not form flattering at the least. It seems like there are no ways to wear this garment except in a fashion faux pas. STAY AWAY.

Maybe So

Now don't get us wrong, we love us some hats, but like any other accessory, it needs to be worn right.  A hat could make or break your outfit, and needs to be styled according to what you are wearing. Keep in mind a printed hat wouldn't always match with a busy outfit. 

Pick up this flowered beauty at Urban Outfitters!
