Trend Alert: Off the Shoulder

Published on June 27, 2016June 27, 2016 by alischicLeave a comment

One of my favorite trends right now is the off the shoulder look. I find this look to be sophisticated yet edgy at the same time. Shoulders have been considered scandalous, mostly at my school, for the longest time and it is time to show some skin.

Burnt orange is a big color for the summer and this outfit reminds me of something that I would wear if I was visiting a beach in another country. I like adding a few pieces of jewelry so the focus is not taken away from the dress. I love the hat how it adds a bit of a bohemian touch to it so I decided to add a bag and shoes to match it.

This is a different type of style, known as the ‘cold shoulder’. I love the top of the dress it is quite different with unique colors. I like to match shoes with the bags. I imagine this dress being worn on the islands of Greece just enjoying the view. With a high ponytail, the hoop earrings will look amazing with the outfit.

This look is a bit edgy with the ripped shorts and the black shoes. This is something that I might possibly wear to a music festival or just a night out to town. I love the top with the lacey details as it contrasts with the rest of the outfit to give it a soft touch.

This outfit is also different as the off the shoulder trend is on a romper. I love the bright colors that are perfect for spring and summer, especially the blue is huge for the season. I love blue and to be able to add color to this outfit, it creates the perfect touch. Since the shoes have gold metal, I decided to add a few pieces of accessories that match the metals. The beach hat also adds a fun touch to it.

This a casual outfit where the floral top juxtaposes distressed boyfriend jeans. I added espadrilles because they are easy and fun to wear. Espadrilles are the perfect summer shoes because they do not have to horrible to wear in such hot conditions.

I absolutely love this trend and you will be able to find similar items at Urban Outfitters, Zara, Forever 21 and many more!

Hurricane | OOTD

Published on April 9, 2016April 9, 2016 by alischicLeave a comment

Last week, I had gone to Charleston to visit the school and a few family members. Charleston is literally one of my favorite places to visit and I encourage any one to go there. For me, I am really into history and cute little towns and being from Annapolis this is hopefully a future home for me. It gives me the vibes of being home but at the same time, its warmer and there is more to do and see.

We drove in during a hurricane from Columbia, hence the title and my favorite Halsey song, it was sunny as soon we got there. It was quite windy, not always a good idea to wear a dress when it is, so I wrapped my hair band around the skirt of the dress to keep it from flying up so it is better to have it high on my thigh rather than everyone seeing everything right! I always tend to wear skirts and dresses on the worst day possible to wear them.

I absolutely love this dress because it reminds me so much of Free People but at a much cheaper price. It was very flowy and bohemian and great for the spring time weather. I wore my mighty converse to be comfortable for most of the time while walking. And yes I am wearing a bralette because it is comfortable for the long day I was going to have and it gives it more of a boho feel to it.

Whimsical Fairytail | OOTD

Published on July 11, 2015July 11, 2015 by alischic1 Comment

Last Tuesday, after dropping off materials to make my job official (I start this Tuesday), I had noticed this woman wearing one of the most adorable outfits I have ever seen. So as I was finding outfits for my first day of work, I put together the look I have seen and absolutely fell in love. Wearing a bun (with an awkward pieces of hair sticking out), I felt like a ballerina or someone from a fairytale.

The tulle skirt is absolutely fun and this is the most whimsical outfit I have ever seen. Tying the bottom up chambray top to make it short makes it a structured piece. Adding the pearl necklace adds more of a fancy touch to the outfit. The shoes I added, other than making a short person like me look like I have long legs, gives more attention to the outfit.

Top: Sears (Lands End)
Skirt: Kohls (Lauren Conrad Collection)
Necklace: White House Black Market
Shoes: Lord and Taylor

I am trying to get back into making more YouTube videos this summer because school kept me away from doing it. So I recently posted a video about my croquet game and let me just say I am very impressed by the thumbnail I created!

Make sure you check it out and subscribe, I will subscribe back!

Feeling Spring-y | OOTD

Published on April 25, 2015 by alischicLeave a comment

Last week I had gone to a croquet game in Annapolis, so here is a closer look at my outfit. I feel like a princess!

I absolutely love this dress because the flow and the lace makes me feel beautiful. I have had this dress for over a year and always try to find a chance to wear it. My back feels free with the cool detail in the back and I think I got a tan in that pattern. I suggest to find a nice dreamy fairytale dress to take pictures in and feel like so sophisticated in. 🙂

Hat: Papaya
Necklace: Origami Owl
Dress: Blush (a boutique)
Shoes: TJ Maxx (Tommy Hilfiger)

What happened to the sunshine? It is so cold here!

Lovely Day to Watch a Croquet Game

Published on April 18, 2015 by alischicLeave a comment

Today is the annual Naval Academy vs St. John’s College croquet game. My friend Kelly and I had gone to see what the situation was all about. After getting a little anxious over the alcohol people were drinking, all the smokers and seeing kids from school that I cannot deal with because their those type of people, I felt better. We hung out with the band and I even was pulled in to dance with a guy who I believed to be drunk. Afterwards, we had gotten ice cream after the very hot day.
