If there is a trend that is inescapable, its denim! Thats where I bring in the denim vest, this trendy piece is versatile, flattering, and adds edge to even the girliest pieces in our wardrobes. Thats why I decided to pair it up with a turquoise green pleated skirt and color blocked it with a hot pink tank

I went for  this faded, sun-kissed light blue that looks great with just about every other color, especially since my outfit is color blocked to give it a color clash rather than a match. I love the back at the back....the tiny bows are just soooo cute.
 

                                                I adore pleats....they so flirty and fun

                               I accessorised the vest with a silver neck piece and yellow loops

                                 Finished it off with these sexy leopard print booties

 Honestly, I am obsessed with this summer trend......STRIPES. Not only are they adorable and chic, they add that bold and daring element to your look. I recently just bought these pants, ofcos I was concerned I might end up looking like a jailbird but the eclectic part of me had to have em. 

I first spotted nautical vertical striped pants on Elle MacPhearson in the fashion star reality show and since then being hoping to get me a perfect pair. They are really dramatic trousers and definitely make a statement. I was concerned about looking like a jailbird but the eclectic side of to me won over so i had to add it in my closet. 

I always find black and white goes well with bold hues so i went for the red cropped jacket and a bold bronze neck piece.

   

                        I kept the accessories to a minimal and added a non competing blue woven purse 

I did a black tank and black booties so as not to compete with the stripes, then
a tangerine hair bow

I decided to break the colors by adding an animal print scarf, the green skinny belt and my table cloth red and white heels and my fave straw hat to give a bohemian feeling

 MY TIP:

• Roll them pants up and wear them loose but not baggy since they are not boyfriend pants

• Opt for flat brogues for a boyish vibe or vamp it up with sexy heels just like i did.
