End of Summer Style Stars
Amazing fall fashions are everywhere, but the weather still screams SUMMER.
It’s time to look to pop culture’s style stars for fashion and beauty inspiration for the end of summer transition.
Kate Middleton
While technically not a celebrity, the princess has definitely become a fashion force. Middleton is always impeccably dressed, but she has a lady like ease that is not too stuffy for real life. Her polished look is perfect for those cool mornings that turn into hot days. To add some royal style, opt for knee length skirts and dresses paired with a nude heel. Wear feminine colors that transcend seasons, like blush and navy blue. Prints must be delicate, and ¾ length sleeves are a must. Add a sleek blow out and some pearls, and you will be vying for the throne in no time!
Taylor Swift
America’s own pop-princess bows to no one when it comes to street style. Taylor never leaves the house without being adorably styled, but her look is totally accessible. Swift’s fashion sense is not about torture; it is about clean lines, cute skirts, and colorful shoes. One of her signature looks, the dress short, is a perfect way to ease into pre-fall fashion. A pair of demure, patterned shorts with a crisp white shirt and cardigan is a great way to add elements of both fall and summer to your style. As the weather gets crisper, you can add tights and a pair of killer heels.
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez has a true fashion gift; she is able to wear edgy fashions in an every day way. Her ability to mix pieces in an unexpected way make her an inspiration for seasonal transitions. Wear this summer’s shirt -dress with a pair of black booties to extend the fashion-life of both. Wear a tank with a pair of wide legged trousers for a slouchy-chic September look. To go totally Selena, wear your hair in a middle parted, low chignon. Remember, keep the accessories to a minimum, and don’t be afraid of the latest trends and proportions.
Katy Perry
Katy Perry changes her mind like a girl changes clothes…and that is why she is a star. No outfit is too cute, and no hair color is too bright for pop-music’s firework. Perry’s style is fun and sexy, and it reminds us that fashion and beauty is one of life’s great joys. Perry’s mix and match style works well for end of summer style. Play with both fall and summer color and texture for amazing fashion looks. Pair a wispy maxi dress with a cropped jean jacket, or add a cardigan to a bright summer dress. Remember, everything goes together…if you OWN it!
While all of these women have diverse styles, they do have one thing in common – they are always evolving. Don’t get trapped in the same old look. Try something new! If you are prim and proper, add a little edge to your look. If you are edgy, add a little preppy flair. If you are whimsical and fun, go all out diva for a day.
Never stop playing dress up!
