Stylish Outfits



“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” 
 
Coco Chanel
Bonjour! This is my first post on my first blog ever, "A La Mode", which, by the way, means "in style". I want to be a fashion designer when I'm older, and I'm already fairly knowledgeable about style. That's why I created this blog. I hope I am able to share some wisdom about how to dress in a cute, but modest, way. The outfit you see above is truly a la mode. This is one of my favorite outfits. I got the inspiration from, well, just...looking! I was at H&M, looking for stuff, not having much luck,and then I saw this adorable skirt. I knew I had to get it. It was pretty short so I found the tights and bracelets (both from H&M) and decided to finish the outfit later. Later on that day, I went to *ROSS and found the super cute top. I actually didn't plan to put them together until my friend had that idea. I loved it! Of course, when wearing an outfit, you have to accessorize. So, though you can't see it, I put a purple tank top from Justice on under the top. The other things I added were a purse, also from Justice (every girl needs a sequin purse!), and boots from Justice. (I really love Justice) My sister took the pic (isn't she great?) and lightened it. If you guys want some more pics of separate pieces or more photos of the whole outfit, just ask in the comments place. I'll be happy to include more info, too, if you want. So, remember to stay "a la mode" and I'll keep adding advice and even history about fashion.

*ROSS is a great store where you can find good quality clothes for cheap. It is really helpful when you are looking for stuff to complete an outfit. It's also less likely that you'll find items you got from ROSS on other people, because they don't have racks of the same piece. It's like a higher quality version of DI!
