Making it Modest - Diane Kruger

Diane Kruger pairs bright yellow & navy for a look thats fun and fresh. I love that this look can be paired with flip flops for a shopping run, or wedges and jewelry for a wedding reception. The color makes these basics pop. Here's how to work Diane's look for $40. Click the images below for the links to purchase.

Grab One While You Can...

Rosette Tee - Forever 21. When you find a basic tee that isn't boring, stock up! This tee is dressy enough for Sunday skirts, and casual enough for shorts. It will also look great layered under cozy cardigans for fall and winter.

Rocker Chic

The 90's are back in a huge way for fall, and hopefully we can do a better job of rocking the grunge look this time around. I love the look of a graphic tee layered under a plaid button down and torn skinnies. Wearing this awesome outfit would make me want to jam out to Hole and Lisa Loeb while watching My So Called Life and Reality Bites. There's nothing better than a little Jordan Catalano in your life.
