Reader Request! What to Wear with the Yellow Necklace

Image
Hi! I received this necklace for Christmas, but I am at a loss as to how to wear it!! Any suggestions? Dear Lookbook Reader I am loving this necklace! What a nice way to brighten an outfit during the holidays. The possibilities here are endless I tell you! Below, I provided a few outfit ideas for various occasions. Granted I stuck with a navy, white, silver and gray color story to complement the necklace...you can venture out into brighter territory such as a printed dress with shades of green and yellow or even a purple tunic for some instant flashiness.

I fell in love with these boots but am worried about the color. They are dark purple from Anthropologie. Do you think that I will have a difficult time pairing them with navy, black or brown? Should I stick to a basic black or brown boot? What will they go with? Love this blog, Hi I love those boots! They are so different from the regular black, brown or tan ones we see. I would definitely keep them. The shade is perfect- not too flashy with just a hint of somethin' slightly outside the box. I would suggest pairing them with black or gray tunics. You can also work the dark denim jeans (they go with everything). While we are at it, why not add on a pretty little leather jacket...? I would stick to a basic palette and not overdo the accessories. Enjoy! Where to Shop Leather Jacket Tunic Bangles Jeans

Ahem...ahem... Harem Pants?

Ugh- ok so these have been on the runway for a few seasons now. Designers such as Nicole Miller and Proenza Schouler had their models rock these "could not BE less flattering if I were wearing bubble wrap" pants. Being 5'3 with an ass and thighs, I won't even try to make it work, even if I had on a dark pair and wore them to some dark club with sky high heels and over did my makeup and hair so the focus is not on my bottom half. They are not for me. BUT...but but...if you, dearest Lookbook reader, are feeling brave and wish to channel a French fashion editor, then by all means check out the ones below- some are cheap (for those who think this trend is fleeting) and some are steep- for those who believe that harem pants are a wardrobe staple (after all they have been around since Aladdin).

Hey I need a bit of help. I’m a high school student so I never have money, and I need to be able to quickly throw together an outfit in the morning but still look like a stylist lives in my basement (: Haha, love the whole “stlylist is living in my basement” concept. Don’t we all wish that could be true. Honestly though, I find that even if I had all the clothes and money in the world, if I don’t not know what I like and what works for me, I would constantly be lost- roaming around in my huge walk in closet while my housekeeper yells “Madame, you must get dressed this very instant, the diplomat does not like to wait for anyone.” Lol So anyways, here are a few rules that I try (key word here is try) to abide by: Don’t try it all… Style is like a double edged sword: if you follow trends and love fashion, chances are you want to try everything. But if you follow trends and love fashion, you should have the wisdom to know not to try everything, ya know? It’s kind of like when uber skinny g...

Hey! I love the blog! I love getting ideas and inspiration from what celebrities wear. Unfortunately not everyone (including yours truly) has the typical tall, slender celebrity bod... therefore the looks don't always work out. I am short and curvy - Do you have any suggestions of which celebrities have the same body type or what looks work best for body types like mine? Thanks a bunch! Hi You do not understand how much I know where you are coming from. I am also short and curvy. There are many trends that I wish I could wear but cannot because of my body type. Style, in essence is all about being your own person while wearing the gear that works for your shape. I have the short legs and am constantly looking for what looks good on me, what to wear and what to avoid like the plague. Here are a few tips that may be helpful: Tips: 1) I know this one is obvious but heels always make your legs seem longer. I would invest in a comfy pair that works with most pieces you already own. You ...

I’ve got the perfect strapless dress that I want to wear, but it’s going to be cold and I’ll need something else to wear over it. I was thinking a nice, tailored blazer would look really cute... something like Rihanna is wearing here: I just don't know where I can find something like it. here's the dress, just for reference: Should I go with the blazer? Or maybe something else? And any ideas for shoes? I love your blog! Let me know what you think!! Hey! Ok first off, happy early b day! I love the look that you are trying to pull together. I would definitely go with the boyfriend blazer as per Rihanna. As for the shoes, I would rock something with a gold accent. Check out the look below: Enjoy! Where to Shop Sho...
