Liana's List of Fashion Must-Haves

Hello everyone! Here is my list of fashion essentials. I'm keeping this post short and sweet. But I may elaborate on my list later on.

Clothes
1. The Hoodie

Hoodies are amazing. Bright colored ones are even more amazing.
Tip: NEVER wear a hoodie with a dress... that's just gross

2. The Shift Dress

Shift dresses are absolutely classic. They are so unbelievably simple that they could never go out of style. Shift dresses are perfect for a party or a night out in the town.
Tip: When wearing shift dresses, DO not over-accessorize. A simple necklace, earrings, and some heels will do.

3. The Swing Coat

Swing coats are just so fun and swingy. They are perfect for a nice breezy afternoon, and look absolutely amazing with a pair of dark-washed jeans.
Tip: do not wear any necklaces while wearing swing coats.

4. The Tank Top

Basic tank tops are perfect for layering or just wearing them out in the open. They come in so many colors and are just so darn casual. They are perfect to wear for a nice summer day, without showing too much skin.
Tip: Never wear tank tops OVER shirts

5. The Trapeze Dress

Trapeze dresses are similar to shift dresses, except they are more casual, in my humble opinion. They are perfect for a warm summer day.
Tip: wind and trapeze dresses do not make a good combination.

6. The Dark-Washed Skinny Jeans

Dark-washed skinny jeans are extremely versatile. They go with just about any shirt, and rarely clashes with anything. They are absolutely classic, and can be worn casually or for fancy events and whatnot.
Tip: Wear a loose top, such as a tunic, when wearing skinny jeans. Do not wear tight shirts. You want to be sure to keep a balance

Shoes
1. The Red Pumps

Red pumps are fun, daring, and classy. They go wonderfully with anything black, especially black skinnies.
Tip: Do not wear heels with skirts or shorts. In my opinion, that combination is pretty trashy.

2. The Vans Authentics (or Converses)

Got my Vans on, but they look like sneakers... If you are ever in a situation where you can not wear flats, flip flops, or heels for whatever reasons, it's okay, because you have a pair of Vans! They are exactly like sneakers, minus the chunkiness. They go perfectly with a pair of sweats, skinny jeans, or shorts. Converses are also amazing as well.
Tip: Do not get them extremely wet. The shoes are made of canvas, so the water would seep through it and reach your toes pretty quickly.

Accessories
1. The Aviators

Aviators are another classic. Whether they be metal or plastic rimmed, they always look great.
Tip:

2. The Cocktail Ring

Cocktail rings are bold and beautiful. They are the perfect accessory for any occasion, whether it be a day at school or a fancy dinner. They certainly make a statement.
Tip: When wearing a cocktail ring, do not wear any bracelets. Your hand will seem too busy.

3. The Colored Tight

Colored tights make an extremely bold statement. However, you must be careful that when wearing colored tights, the color does not clash with the rest of your outfit, including the shoes.

4. The Beret

Everyone needs a beret, even though winter is almost over. I absolutely love berets. But of course, it must be worn right.

Other Essentials
1. Burt's Bees Lip Balm

Burt's Bees Lip Balm works wonders. It's made of ultra-emollient lanolin, coconut oil and sunflower oil, etc. etc., and it seals in hydration with beeswax.

and I'm leaving you with one last fashion tip that I learned today, which may seem pretty obvious to you:
DO NOT WEAR FLATS IN THE RAIN. I had to learn the hard way.
