The denim maxi is a wonderful alternative to your go to jean pants. I cannot speak for you, but having options frees my mind from one less thing to stress about. I am in love with this skirt because it is just as versatile as traditional jeans, yet its on a whole new level of the chic scale! Now let’s take a look at last week’s ensemble. I could easily swap the skirt for pants on a day where a dress or skirt just isn’t feasible. Would it be an acceptable outfit? Yes. Would it be terribly interesting? Not really. What a difference a little leg can make!

Today we feature the same denim maxi and the prettiest eyelet top. Now do you believe me when I say that you can style this item just as you would a pair of jean pants? Hopefully you can appreciate its utility, but if you are petite like me, there are a few things to keep in mind. Gravitate towards a skirt with a high waist and a slit if at all possible. These two features will elongate the appearance of your legs!

For under $20, Get yourself a pair of knit tie-dye flare pants. These elastic waist pull-ons are as comfortable as pajamas yet stylish as a pair of designer pants. Whether you are festin’ it up, brunching with girlfriends, or out for an night on the town, these bell-bottoms will suit your needs. If olive does not excite you, go for the taupe or red pair instead.

So what makes a pair of tie-dye flare pants even better?! An off-the-shoulder top, of course! You already know that I am a big fan of this trend (last seen here and here), and this is another example of just how versatile these shirts truly are. When styling fitted bottoms, it is important to balance out the ensemble with a looser fitting garment on the top half. The OTS chiffon top fit the bill perfectly without interfering with the boho vibe. Speaking of interference, no need to over-accessorize with these party pants – they make a statement on their own. Instead, tote a fun purse, like the featured fringe hobo bag.

Yes! Another shirt to add to my wardrobe of dresses, rompers, skirts, and jumpsuits. When I first laid eyes on this top, 1970’s fashions immediately came to mind. The bell sleeves are oh so groovy and the serene color is perfect for the spring. Aside from it’s funky features, the fit is tailored and flattering on all shapes and sizes. For only $50 have yourself a fabulous piece that will coordinate well with flare jeans, palazzo pants, cutoff shorts, etcetera.

I paired this blue beauty with a woven skirt creating a fun throwback look! The multicolor pattern reminds me of retro upholstery and the frayed hem adds a playful element. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, when you are working with a statement piece, such as this top, simplicity is key. That is why I did not go overboard with accessories. I simply embellished the look with a boho tassel necklace and blue denim wedge sandals. Is it ironic that I have the song, “shake your groove thing” stuck in my head as I am writing this?!

That is exactly why I rocked this knit fringe number over the weekend. If you are in the market for a swimsuit coverup, spring dress, or spring sweater, this piece can pass for all of those things. Not bad for $34.99! Please keep in mind that I am 5 feet tall so it fits me more like a dress. Anyway, I slipped a full length cami underneath it and kept the styling simple with taupe platform mules. Because no outfit is complete without the right accessories, I added a pop of color by incorporating turquoise earrings, and hanging a colorful scarf off of my purse. The old scarf trick is a fashion hack worth taking note of.

Did you spend your weekend at a musical festival, or just play the part like me?! If you like what you see, shop this post below:

Now that you know what you are getting yourself into, let’s talk attire! One of the things that I loved the most about Yountville is the world-class dining…more importantly, fine dining without the jacket requirement. Anything goes – whether you’re filling up after a bike ride or indulging after a day of wine tasting, you’re appropriately dressed for the occasion. Taking advantage of every opportunity to dress up, I changed out of my “travel clothes” and into a chic boho ensemble.

Chic boho is slowly but surely becoming a regular style in my fashion repertoire. This weekend’s rendition consisted of a maxi skirt and platform sandals. Maxi skirts are perfect for California weather. You can wear them all year round, as long as you change up the shoes accordingly (see post Winter Pastels). For the day in Yountville, I styled a blue ornate maxi with a white racerback tank and platform sandals – a look that is easy to replicate with items already in your closet. I incorporated a blue crop top to create dimension and beaded bangles to funk things up. A glass of vino will forever be my favorite fashion accessory.

Now that you know what to wear in Yountville, stay tuned to hear more about the food. In the meantime, shop this post below.

After a lot of research and contemplation, I decided to transfer to LSU, in Baton Rouge, LA where there was an accredited fashion program. Carrying on with my life in CT the summer before I started, I visited Tonya to share my news. What are the chances that her sister owned a similar store in Baton Rouge close to the university?! I was in complete shock, but really excited at the same time. Tonya introduced me to her sister, Shanna, upon my arrival to LSU, and we were friends ever since.

I worked as a sales associate in Shanna’s store, Rode’o Boutique, for two years before becoming the manager. It was there that I became comfortable styling looks for others and where my passion for fashion truly took off. But more importantly, I formed a network of friends and “family” for myself in a place where I did not know a soul. My husband and I always joke that when we left Baton Rouge for San Francisco, I knew more people in the city than he did, and he was born and raised in Louisiana!

It is with great pleasure to introduce you to Rode’o Boutique online! I have been waiting for this day since relocating to California – no exaggeration. Rode’o is not only your destination for the chicest clothing, but it is also a fabulous gift shop. From daytime wear, evening wear, swimwear, lingerie, shoes, jewelry, to home goods, when something is hot, Rode’o Boutique is the spot. I had the pleasure of styling a few outfits during my trip to Louisiana, and today I am sharing with “y’all” two ways to wear this boho romper.

To begin, I styled this playful onesie with a butterfly crown, and gold espadrille flatforms. It is amazing what a difference a headpiece can make. HELLO festival style! For version number two, I took off the crown, and accessorized with gold earrings, a chunky stone bracelet and yellow fringe purse. Mixing up your accessories is one of the easiest ways to transform your ensemble. Version two is a little more practical for everyday wear, although you would still be the best dressed gal at the festival. Which option do you prefer? To purchase these looks, visit Rodeo Boutique or shop online here. Follow @kelseykaplanfashion on Instagram to keep up with the Rode’o showcase.

A special thanks to Rodeo Boutique for sponsoring this post, Ava Lemoine for capturing the moment, and to Ashley Sievert for the glamorous makeover.

Finally pulling the trigger, after eying this little number for several weeks, I am happy to report it was well worth the $40 price tag (thanks for that lulu*s!). The loose fit is great for warm weather, while the drop waist and ruffle hem add just enough oomph! If chartreuse isn’t on your hot list, be the Frill of the Chase in coral instead. Although you could accomplish some strong boho vibes with flat shoes and a funky purse, I broke out my favorite Fringly sandals, and gold headpiece for a boho chic look. How’d I do?!

I first styled the “I. Madeline Pearly Dewdrops Drop Light Peach Top” with dark boyfriend jeans. Wanting this look to be happy hour appropriate, I wore a pair of bedazzled chandelier earrings, a metallic clutch and woven heels. If you want to keep it casual, simply exchange the earrings for some gold studs, sling on your everyday purse and slip into your favorite flats. Leopard print would add a fun twist.

After the first run through, in boyfriend jeans, I decided this whole boho theme could go on further with some flare jeans. This time, I rocked a pair of statement earrings, the same metallic clutch and nude pumps. Like I said before, because this shirt is easy to match, it would look great with virtually any color denim, in skinny leg, bootcut, wide leg, you name it. I’m looking forward to the warm weekend weather so that I can try it out with some cut-offs and cognac boots. If it turns out good enough, I’ll snap a pic!
