Floral Jumper

I'm loving the jumper trend, but just because you love a trend that doesn't mean it would look good on your body type. However, when I found this jumper dress at Urban Outfitters I was sold! Not only is it flattering, but I can totally see myself wearing this dress all summer long. What trends are you loving for summer? Tell me all about them in the comments below!

Patterned Jean Shorts

For today's look I wanted to pair this patterned shorts from Vanilla Star Jeans with a contrasting, orange chiffon top I bought from a boutique in New York. I love the color combo of this outfit. I like that this look is very versatile and can be worn day or night. 

Vanilla Star Jeans was kind enough to gift me some amazing pieces that I will be showcasing in several posts this week. Visit my blog tomorrow to see get more amazing pieces from Vanilla Star Jeans!

Blue Chevron Maxi Dress

Maxi dresses are the best thing to wear in my opinion on a sunny, hot day. Not only are they comfortable, but they also make you feel and look very feminine. I found this bright blue chevron print dress at Macy's and I feel in love! I love the contrast pink belt the dress comes in. Also, the cut of the dress is very flattering. I decided to pair the dress with my neon yellow clutch from American Eagle. I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

The Green Midi Skirt

One of my favorite fashion trends this season are midi skirts. Midi skirts are so easy to wear. You can just pair a midi skirt with a basic tee or tank and your look is complete. Whether you dress it up or dress it down, midi skirts definitely make your outfit look very feminine. I paired this kelly green midi skirt with this fun chiffon polka dot sleeve crop top from Forever 21. Can you believe I bought this kelly green midi skirt about 3 years ago at H&M? Fashion definitely does reinvent itself. Sometimes its a good idea to hold on to your trendier pieces because you never know when the trend will resurface! 

I'm sorry for my lack of posting last week. I went to New York for my sister-in-law's bridal shower and IMATS and did not get a chance to take any pictures of my outfits. However, I did get some goodies I can't wait to try out and review here on alishaFASHIONISTA. If you would like to see more beauty post and reviews, leave a comment down below. I hope everyone has a Happy Monday!

Spring TIme Florals

I'm obsessing over floral print this Spring! Today I paired this floral crop top with a solid pink flared skirt. I love how the skirt compliments the pink flowers in the crop top. Whenever you are trying to pair a patterned piece with a solid piece, make sure you pull out one of the colors from the pattern to make the outfit look complete. I balanced the bright colors with a nude bag and shoes. Since there is a lot of color going on in my outfit, I didn't want to look too busy. Let me know what you guys think of today's outfit in the comments below. Until next time…

Double Take

I wanted to show you all today how to style a white embosses sweatshirt 2 ways. Re-inventing outfits in your closet is probably one of the most interesting things. You can totally change the entire look of an outfit by just switching the bottom or vice versa. It's about being creative and finding new ways to reinvent the outfit. Don't be shy to wear something you already wore to school or work again. Adding a relaxed pair of jeans with a sequined top can give your outfit a daytime feel. However, by changing the jeans into a leather skirt, your outfit can quickly turn into day to night. Let me know in the comments section below if you would like to see more of this segment on my blog! Until next time…

Back to the 90's

I am super excited for the 90's trend going on this season. However, it's very important you try to modernize this trend so you don't look too outdated. Growing up in the 90's, I had to jump on this trend bandwagon. I paired a crop sweater with a floral print skater skirt and over the knee socks. I wore open toe wedges to give the look a modern twist. I was a major fan of clueless and this outfit totally reminds me of Cher Howoritz! What 90's pop culture icon/movie inspires you? Let me know in the comments below.

Cotton Candy

I love the colors of candy, especially for Spring! Pastels just transform any outfit to a more delicate and feminine look. Today I paired this structured, embossed sweater with a flowy pastel coral skirt. I wanted to add a delicate touch to this very structured piece.

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Spring Fling

The weather is starting to warm up, which means Spring must be in the air. Spring is definitely one of my favorite seasons. It just lifts your spirits knowing the weather is beginning to get nicer! Today's outfit was inspired by spring's blooming florals. I paired a floral print dress with a neutral bag and flats to give my outfit some balance. Side note, the 90's is totally in this season and I'm loving it! I don't know about you guys, but this dress totally made me feel like the pink power ranger (who was known for wearing easy skater dresses). I know, geek moment.
