Urban Anthropology: Fashion Tips

Thanks Natalie! xoxo

Hello Kelsey Design readers.  My name is Natalie Larson and I blog over at Urban Anthro.

I am so happy to be here today sharing with you while Kelsey enjoys her (ahem... not fair) trip to EUROPE!!

I'm a 23 year old girl, finishing up degrees in Music and Anthropology. I'm married to the man of my dreams, and I do this little blogging thing for fun on the side in hopes of pursuing a career in fashion.  Someday.  When school is done.  SO CLOSE.

As you probably all already know, Kelsey is one stylish woman.  When she asked me to do a post about fashion tips, I was quite flattered.

So here goessss nothin'.

First, think pops of color.  These chords are a great way to add life and excitement to a seemingly mediocre outfit.  Mediocracy is the worst enemy of greatness!  Also, if you are thinking of purchasing a "pop of color", think maroon.  The fashion world is all about it this year.

Second, don't be afraid to mix and match styles.  For example, the casual bright pants and neon beanie contrast the sophisticated pumps and sleek tank top.  This gives your style a unique and spunky edge.

Third, if you're in school like me..... stripes and glasses are always a safe bet.  Add some tights, hand warmers, and a big scarf for the colder days.

Fourth, do something unexpected.  Brown and white polka dots with a blue and red heart sweater?  Two things I wouldn't initially think to put together.  The unexpectedness of the outfit somehow makes it seem like you "know what you're doing".... ;)

Fifth: the parka.  Get yourself a military style parka, seriously.  They're SO COMFY and they are exploding.  I would be lying if I said I didn't wear it every day.

Six:  The oversized baggy sweater.  Long cozy sweaters can be paired with anything!  Jeans, skirts, heels, tennis shoes, or just curled up in a blanket with a cup of hot tea in the AM before starting your day.

A huge thanks to Kelsey for letting me be here today!!
