This spring, peplums are ALL the rage! On the runway, at the oscars, or even a cute, casual weekend outfit! Peplums are very girly and feminine, but if you want to tough it up a little, you can try wearing it with cute combat boots. Or go full out girly! Where a peplum dress with wedges or pumps, and you could pile on some pearl necklaces for an adorable effect. If you want to be a bit more casual, you could tone it down by wearing a solid color peplum shirt, and colored jeans. Color blocking is very in at the moment!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Shorts & Tights

A lot of people don't like this look because they have a certain image in their head- ripped denim mini shorts and tights. That is an awesome edgy look, but not for every one. You may not know it, but there is a way to make shorts and tights tailored and sophisticated. 

To the right, is a picture of a very tailored look for wearing shorts and tights. With the boxy, pleated shorts, and the nice blouses, you can definitely pull off this look without having the wrong effect. Also, you can try adding socks, and lace tights to girl it up. The colors that look best with this look are browns, creme, black, grey, and maybe navy blue.

<<< If you love this edgy look of shorts & tights, wear studded shorts and combat boots! Don't be afraid to go all out, because the end result is awesome.
