Textures

Mixing texture goes a long way. If you’re sold on monochromatic looks this is one of the easiest ways to shake up your style. In the featured look I paired a faux suede pencil skirt with a ribbed fitted top. The contrasting fabrics stimulate the eye more than matching fabrics.

Angles

It’s all about the angle. Whether you’re taking photos and following the “rule of thirds,” or you’re piecing together a good looking outfit, the importance of angles prevails! Think about it, a diagonal line is a lot more interesting than a straight line. I first dressed this skirt with a turtleneck. After looking in the mirror I decided it did nothing for the asymmetrical hemline. Just like that, a plunging neckline nicely compliments the rim of the skirt. The same applies with regards to the cutout high heels.

While there is nothing wrong with pairing a solid tank with your go-to jeans, in my eyes, fancy is always better. So rather then stocking up on traditional basics, I go for the jazzed up versions. A white tee with ruffles on the sleeves, or a black tank with a surplice back. I think you catch my drift. So when I came across the burnt orange tank photographed below, it made the cut. The asymmetrical hemline adds just enough oomph and the keyhole back is a fun bonus. To dress up the shirt a tad, I styled it with white distressed skinny jeans and my nude wedge sandals. Since an outfit is never complete without a statement piece, I polished off the look with a glitzy pearl necklace, chunky brown bangles, and a leopard print clutch. Incorporating a bold animal print accessory may just be the easiest way to spice up an ensemble.
