One of my favorite parts of styling is creating unique combinations that I haven’t seen before. I like to incorporate trends, but in a different way. In the past I would have never thought of pairing a leather skirt with a tee shirt and now it’s one of my favorite looks. This outfit is sporty in regards to the converse shoes and striped tee. I gave it a chic twist by adding a leather skirt, and fringed purse. The plaid shirt just gave the ensemble more depth and added on to the casual vibe. I love the unique ombre of the plaid as well as the longer length. I encourage you to mix and match different tops and bottoms that you wouldn’t naturally pick to put together. It makes styling a lot more fun and you can end up with multiple outfits while using the same pieces!

A huge trend recently has been sportswear. Victoria’s Secret even ditched their swimwear line to focus more on their athletic line. Sportswear is huge, people who don’t work out are even rocking their chic sportswear. Free People launched their FP Movement Line in 2012, and they were one of the leaders. It seems as if almost every brand will have a sportswear line at some point. Although I am not wearing leggings and a sports bra in this post, I combined my athletic taste with my casual chic street style.
