How to wear statement pieces you have in your wardrobe - 18/4/15

Hello again darlings! Hope you are having a nice weekend! It's hard to believe it is blogging day again, time is flying :)

Today we are going to talk about how to style statement pieces that you have moved to the back of your wardrobe because you are too afraid to wear. Well guess what? Today is your lucky day because sunflowers and sparkles are happy to help! :)

-Do you know that pretty t-shirt you bought in the sale last summer but you don't think you can pull it off? STOP! With the right trousers or skirt there is no need to be afraid and I bet everyone will admire it when you're out. I will post a few looks below as examples to go by the next time you want a really nice casual outfit to wear going shopping or just popping out to a friends house :)

    

-Now for that gorgeous pair of bright cropped trousers that you just can’t find a nice t-shirt to match. A good cropped trousers is a must in every woman's wardrobe but you have to know what to wear with it. Depending on the style of top you usually go for with determine what kind of style you like with your new pants. Here are a few examples- but if you find a style to your own taste - please don’t be shy.

     

         -Here is one very few are brave enough to wear. The reliable and oh so gorgeous coordinates.Some people really shy away from this outfit because they think it’s too much of the one pattern, however they are all in for Spring/Summer 2015 so don’t worry! This iconic fashion trend can be worn as a trousers or skirt so there will be a style that everyone will feel comfortable in. You can get really dressy coordinates also so if you have a summer wedding coming up- you will be sure to wow the crowd. I will post some dressy and casual ones so you will believe me, I speak the truth you know! (Perfect for a night out too!)  

  

-Now for my all time favourite. The midi Skirt! (I'm getting excited even thinking about it.)

Midi-skirts come in all different shapes and colours so the world is yours when you’re styling an outfit. Again these are perfect for a wedding or going out so never be afraid- Sunflowers and Sparkles are here to be your fashion designers! From Flowers to pleats- with the right pair of shoes anyone can pull off this look. (Who doesn't want an excuse to buy another pair of shoes eh?)

        

Shoutout to Kayla for allowing me to put her on the blog! ;)

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes! *Pulse and breathing gets faster*. You and I both know that there is a pair of shoes in your wardrobe screaming to be worn. However there are a few statement pairs that every fashionable lady should own.

• The Stiletto. Classy and elegant. Perfect for a night out or a more formal event. (Penny's have fab ones for only €15 at the moment!!)

   

• Next up is the oh so comfy wedge. You can’t go wrong with a good pair of wedges. Whether its a day out or a party, you will be comfy every ‘step’ of the way (pun pun). There are all different heights and styles of wedges so they will be your best friend when you want to be taller (like me)

    

• pair of good trainers is very important to achieve our ‘summer body’ that we have all promised ourselves, but without a good pair of runners you will just cause yourself an injury (Yes, another reason to buy a pair of shoes!) But on a serious note, please don’t go for a jog in a pair of cons or vans, you will just do yourself more damage than its worth. Plus, who doesn’t want to look good when they exercise ;)

                              

• Okay so before I get too carried away about shoes, this is the last one- I promise! I really could go on about shoes all day..  So last but not least- Converse. There isn’t many people out there that don’t own a pair in some shape or form. These are great for day to day looks and you can get really pretty ones for under dresses etc. So if you don’t have a pair already, I really would invest. They will last you a lifetime! (Of Course we always go for the sparkly ones, not forgetting the frilly socks for inside them, but that's another days work!)

           

 So ’’how will I tie my new outfit together’’ I hear you ask? Well with a pretty coat of course! Flowers, Stripes, Furry hood? It’s up to you! With the unpredictable Irish weather it is very important to carry a coat everywhere you go and even if you are carrying it in your hand it will still look good! So don’t be afraid to try something new when you are buying your new summer coat. Experiment a little! ‘Bomber Jackets’ are also really ‘in’ this Spring/Summer so if you are looking for something a little lighter to wear, these are your answer!

MissGuided have amazing jackets in at the moment. It wouldn't be any harm to take a look, believe me, you wont regret it!
