CHICSHA + THE NEW BLAK
It’s crazy, right? Blog post numero uno is already here.
When The New Blak asked me to be a guest contributor, they gave me complete
freedom to style whatever I want, write whatever I want and be photographed
however I wanted – so, as a typical college senior, I took the freedom and ran
with it!
As the sneak peak suggested, we’re getting feminine! Peach
and baby pink is making a comeback in a big way (thanks Kim K) even though it
can be tough to style. Lets jump this hurdle, shall we?
This week, I have styled three different look to go with my
furry H&M peach pink jacket that my family lovingly calls ‘a poodle coat.’
Look 1 | Sunday Brunch:
Nothing says, “I’m ready for my mimosas” like a white dress
or white pants. Soften up your look for Sunday mornings with white skinny
pants, like mine from Zara and a basic white tee (mine is from H&M). If the
weather is exceptionally nice (not for much longer here in Bloomington), you
can check out these white dresses from Modcloth (http://www.modcloth.com/shop/dresses/thats-all-she-haute-dress)
and a.drea (http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/a-drea-athena-pleated-gown-juniors/3921392?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=0).
Pair it with a bright pair of earrings and shoes and you’re ready!
Look 2 | Hello Romantic Dinner:
Valentine’s day is coming up and if you’re allergic to
bright pink (like myself), try this look. Add some softness to your favorite
black dress. I love the weird length of this Zara black dress because it allows
me to truly show off the shoes + it’ll keep your legs warmer. To pull the look
together, pair it with bright or neutral shoes and a statement necklace. The
jacket will add a soft and romantic touch to your favorite LBD.
Look 3 | Dance Like No one’s Watching
Rocker chic is THE go-to for Thursday and Saturday night,
since you’re stylish, warm, and no one dares to mess with you. Finally, I got
over my preconceived fears and bought me a biker chic pair of leather pants
from Zara. I paired it with a simple tank from Topshop and my new favorite
Steve Madden booties. You can add a long necklace that will flow well with the
silver hardware on the pants! Pairing the look with a black jacket would have
made it super-tough and dark, so the softness of the peach pink jacket is a
welcomed relief. The jacket is light enough to freely dance on the dance floor,
yet keep you warm as you shuffle from bar to bar.
Don’t be scared to rock your sweaters and jackets in new
ways. Take it up as a challenge, CHICSTER. Every time you try it in a new way,
you’ll fall in love with it a little more (like Chipotle, right?).
See you back here in a week, readers. Once again, thank you
to the fab ladies at The New Blak for making feel like a part of the family
already.

CHICSHA + THE NEW BLAK
Wow, this is a special moment! Like in most first encounter
situations; let’s start off by getting to know each other. I have a few
questions for you to think and contemplate about…
Except
for track pants and black tights, what is the most treasured piece in your
closet?
It’s taking a while, right?
There are one two many of us on this boat,
so how about we change that?
Take a guess, how many pieces in your closet have
been just once or twice?
You still love them and can’t bear the thought of
parting with them, so why not rock them more often?
Why go out and buy more
pieces that the world is going to see just once?
Take a breather! I realize that that was a long series of
questions. Worry you not, we’re here. As we gear up for CHICSHA’s launch in a
few days, I am stoked to be writing in collaboration with The New Blak to show
you multiple ways of rocking those unique pieces in your closet. CHICSHA is all
about loving fashion in new ways and I couldn’t be more excited to be a guest
contributor for The New Blak blog. I am excited to work with all these fab
ladies for our launch event on February 5th and more exciting
collaborations. Prepare your closets for the first post in a few days!
