Why do I wear pearls? It seems like everyone asks me this...

So, a lot of people wonder why I wear pearls everyday. Some people think it's weird.Pearls are a part of my style(steps to finding a style will be blogged about asap) and here is why, for all of you that question it.
My Story:
          Searching through my Aunt's house wasn't what I had planned to do the day after her funeral. I didn't know what I would possibly find  in a house that had been lived in for ages. As I rummaged through dresser drawers, a gleam caught my eye peeking from a jewelry box. It was a pearl necklace. It wasn't real; it was costume jewelry, but it was more than half a century old and perfect. There was more costume jewelry in the box, more glistening pearls and vintage beads. Soon after, I started wearing the jewelry that reflected my wardrobe. Everyday I wear a necklace from that box. Now you know all...hah

What Not to Wear This Summer

So I've been working on another post, which is going to be a long one. In the mean time, read my opinions on what should not be acceptable to wear during the summer:
-Socks with flip flops or sandals.Remember that old term: shoobie? You really want to be a shoobie? Did you know someone even invented certain socks to wear with flip flops? It's just wrong.

-Bra straps/and or cami straps showing from your racer back shirt, raglan tee, or any other. It's trashy, wear a strapless bra, or even a sports bra instead. Wearing a bra, cami, and a shirt could make you sweat even more.

-Wearing short shorts. I already did a post on this, read it, understand it, breathe it. Just please don't look like you should be standing on a street corner.

-Wearing weird bathing suits. You've seen them. I'm not even positive what they should be called. I've heard them called bikinis but...yeah...I don't get it....Tan lines in the wrong places much?

-Wearing all black. What is wrong with some of you? How can you step out of the house when it is 90 degrees out wearing black cargo pants and a black sweatshirt? Don't you wanna be comfortable? Do you realize you look like death?

-Shirts that fall above your stomach. Really, belly shirts are back? Cover up, please.

-Construction boots with your denim shorts. I only know one girl who can pull this off, and only her. On some girls it looks really pathetic and makes their feet look bigger.

-Wearing colored undergarments with white clothing. You all know you've seen some lady wearing a hot pink cheetah print bra under a very sheer white top. It's so bad, leave it for the trashy people.

-Uggs. Most of you(whoever reads this blog) know I despise Uggs. It's been a trend in the last few years to wear your Uggs in the summer and on the beach. Please don't.

-Oh Gosh. Wrap around sunglasses with the cord around your head. definitely do not wear these. This is for the guys out there. Find sunglasses that fit your head, it's not too hard. Otherwise, you absolutely look like a dweeb. You should feel like a dweeb too.

-Overalls. Caution stay away from the denim overalls. It's just not a pretty picture to see people wear them, there's the issue of going to the bathroom, and it's ugly.

-Finally, don't wear bad tan lines, when you're out to a super nice public place. There is clothing that covers up those lines or just plainly get rid of them.

Review

So in Maine, people dress normal most of the time. There was not one person I saw with a notable wardrobe malfunction. So instead of sniper photos to show all of you, I'm reviewing new and upandcoming trends.

Denim, Denim, Denim
Taken from Teen Vogue
New Trend is high-waisted(not your grandma's high-waisted) bell bottom jeans. The 70s style is back, and I have to say it's pretty cute, I think I'm gonna have to buy a pair when I'm school shopping(there will definitely be a blog on that).------->
All I ever wear is skinny jeans so this is a nice change.



However there's another trend, that I'm hoping won't get too popular. It's just like those denim coveralls from a few blogs back. Ew. In  my teen vogue, it states: "Docs(Doc Marten's) plus cropped jumpsuit equals tomboy perfection". You will be as confused as I was when you look at the picture...

<-----Seriously, what was the stylist on set of that photoshoot thinking? Do you think any of us could walk around anywhere wearing this? How is it 'tomboy perfection'. It looks more like toddler perfection to me.







The next trend is called "resin coated denim". I'm not too sure about this one, I think I'll have to try on a pair and see how they wear. They come in tons of color although I don't know if I like them.

More trends to consider:
-wool for winter is a trend forecast
-metallics are in,and so is playful patterns/designs; to see this in action you can watch the Dior fashion show here: http://www.diorcouture.com, the designs are pretty sweet, you might be shocked when you see the outfits(they will be bizarre) but that's how a haute couture catwalk is.The show begins with playful pieces and about halfway through you can see the metallic inspiration.

-my favorite trend, vintage, is becoming more popular, so I'll also keep an eye out for more comebacks from past decades.
