Minimalist Style Inspiration

So I've come to a point in my life where I'm questioning... do I have a style? And come to realise I really don't!  I just tend to where whats comfy and what I like, picking from trends here and there. But I've always wanted to adopt a style or create my own that fits me. Looking at runway trends and fashion in shops like, ASOS, Missguided and Boohoo there's so much minimalist clothing. I really like the simplicity of it all especially the nude, greys and black and white colour. Not only the colour I love the shapes and cuts of the clothes, and don't get me started on the culottes! My friend Courtney wrote a blog post showing her favorite culottes on the Highstreet which you can read Here! So here are some of my favorites from the highstreet that I am defiantly going to buy!

My main inspiration always comes from the runways as I am always on Vogue looking at the collections, and its is a part of the research I have to do at Uni (which is a plus!). But for SS16 this trend has come into its own with its modern look, designers kept the sleek lines and colours but many added fabric manipulation in ruffles and pleats to add an element of texture just like Adam Lippes and Hermes. Other designers adopted the pin stripes, from flowy trousers and button up shirts at A.P.C to a fitted suits seen at Brandon Maxwell. But they you have Calvin Klein who always can pull of this look effortlessly. The key pieces in the collection was Slips which are major this year bringing underwear as outwear. The garments were seen with raw edges with a mixture of silk and leather, as well as keeping the palette neutral. 

The designers show a mixture of contemporary causal and fancier ways of this minimalist style. Let me know below what your thoughts are on this style as well as if this is your style! And if not what is your style? I hope you liked this post and found it interesting and would want me to do more style posts!

Short Girls Guide To Wearing Midi Skirts

Do you have to be taller than 5"2 to wear a midi skirt? I think not! Midi skirts have come into their own and reinvented themselves to a whole new fashion statement/trend. They were huge for spring and summer 2015, and have found themselves in every seasons trend up till now. As well as garment I would love to buy. However, I have always thought 'I'm too short to wear or pull one off' as well as feeling like if I wore one it would make me look shorter, already being 5"2. This trend is said to transition nicely into any season so it's a trend I don't want to miss out on! Therefore if your a littleling like me then keep reading for tips that would make a midi skirt work for you!

First is pairing one with a crop top as your exposed skin with help break up all the fabric at the bottom. This is so your body is not overpowered with fabric hiding all your skin. I would say exposing the midriff would be your best beat as its evens out the skin in the middle.
Heels will be your best friend and not only make you look taller but adding the illusion of making the shin that is not covered of your leg left look elongated add length and height. I think that the only way I could pull a midi off would be with heels as I have seen celebs that have totally butchered they're height by wearing flats in all the wrong ways!
Again you can make another illusion, this being a skirt with a pencil length skirt underneath with a sheer layer of fabric over the top of a midi style skirt. So it looks like your wearing a shorter skirt but your not. Or ones with sheer panels to break up the fabric even more.
The shape of the skirt also matters, this is depending on your body shape. You can have a pencil, a-line, skater, pleated, bodycon... the list could go on! For me personally I would wear a high waisted bodycon as the highwaisted, waist band makes your legs look longer too!

One celeb to look out for is Vanessa Hudgens shes only small but damn she looks good! Here are some examples of how she pulls off a midi skirt!
If you have any other tips and tricks to wearing a midi skirt if your tiny leave a comment! Hope you found this interesting and are having a wonderful day,
