How to Style a Statement Piece

We have all found that stand out piece before, purchased it, took it home with a smile on our faces, and each and every time we attempt to wear it, it just doesn’t look right. We know it’s not the piece because we still love it! The problem is most likely what we paired with the piece. Here are some tips to help you make a real statement!

The biggest question is, “What do I wear with it?” Most likely your stand out jewelry is either large, brightly colored, longer than unusual, or even intricately made. To help it do its job your clothing should be simple in style and color. Anything that competes for attention with the statement piece has to be removed! Solid colors with classic designs are the way to go. Ruffles, sequins, along with other bells and whistles just distract from what you really want to show off. I even took off my earrings so that this necklace shines.

Even your make up can be a distraction if it isn’t done right. Keep it simple and try a complimentary lip color (As I styled here) to make the look feel cohesive.

Now go out into the world, get those amazing  pieces and make a statement! Enjoy!

Abstract Matching Set | OOTD

I’m pretty obsessed with the simplicity and beauty of matching sets. I found this matching set while out thrifting and I can’t stop wearing it! I even wore it to school earlier this week. This look is so super comfortable that it literally feels like pajamas. Styling this look was simple because all of the hard word was done by these amazing matching pieces. Leave me a comment and tell me what your favorite matching set looks like. Enjoy! 

Navy Floral Maxi | OOTD

Thanks Zaful.com for sponsoring this sweet fall floral print maxi dress. This is as close to the perfect fall maxi dress as you will get. The dark navy color is just right for Fall and the white flowers are the perfect pop. What’s really cool about this dress is that it comes with the beautiful pearl belt. This would be a great dress for weddings this season. Plus, it has such great movement that you will just want to twirl around in it the whole time. Leave me a comment and tell me your favorite part about this floral maxi. Enjoy!

Fringed Sweater Dress | OOTD

This fringed sweater dress sponsored by Zaful.com is perfect for those days when you want something easy, yet interesting to wear for a day out. This dress is so soft and comfortable to move around in. The tassels add such a cool statement to an otherwise basic sweater dress.

Having the right shoe or boot can sometimes make or break a look. Since this dress is so simple, I paired it with my black lace up over the knee books that really make a statement. This dress could just as easily be paired with leggings and sneakers for a dressed down casual look. Mirrored cat eye sunnies, black tote bag, a bun and I’m almost done. Lastly, add in cool earrings and a bold lip if you’re feeling adventurous. I love outfits that look really pulled together but are really no brainers. This OOTD took minimal effort but packs a mean punch.

Leave me a comment about you style ideas for the neat little number, enjoy!

The Perfect Jeggings | OOTD

We all know the perfect pair of jeggings LOOK like the perfect pair of jeans! I’ve partnered with Old Navy to help you discover and style an amazing pair that you can literally wear any where.

When I styled these Rock Star Skinny jeggings I thought about all of the ladies ranging from teachers like myself to fashionistas with office careers. The truth is, this classic, yet modest look will work for us all. The true star of this look is the jeggings. They have a beautiful dark blue wash that gives them a professional look. You don’t have to worry about buttons or zippers because their are none. (Win!) They feel great, have two real back pockets, and allow you to move freely. What more could an elementary school teacher-mom-blogger ask for? Last but not least, the fit is so great, they make my little booty look amazing. Im just going to wear these everyday until someone says something. Lol
