The Cold Shoulder

The perfect way to style of the most current trends, off-the-shoulder tops.

The Cold Shoulder

If you’ve followed any fashion bloggers, own a Pinterest account, or even go on social media – you know off-the-shoulder tops are totally in style at the moment. Everyone styles them differently, but this is how I like to do it.

Off-the-shoulder tops definitely make a statement. If you want to turn heads, it’s important to do it the right way. For me, it’s all about balance. Showing just the right amount of skin is essential to mastering this look. You’re showing some skin up top, so maybe take the conservative route on your bottom half (aka no booty shorts please). Even though shoulders aren’t necessarily considered super “sexy”, it’s still bare skin. It’s a more subtle form of sexy.

I like to pair my off-the-shoulder tops with basics. A great pair of jeans, simple heels, and some pretty and girly jewelry. If your top has a lot of detail, let it speak for itself.

This top is from Banana Republic. The tie details on the sleeves make it so cute! I paired it with my ALL TIME FAVORITE DENIM.Simple accessories make this outfit look polished and classic. A classic silver watch, diamond bangle stacked on-top, and cute flower earrings. The perfect shoe for this look is a simple, clean heel, so I went with that in nude.

Off the shoulder tops are one of my favorite spring and summer trends. I highly recommen getting one, they're flattering on everyone!

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
