some people are born fashionistas, the rest of us just need a little help
Now this is a trend I’ve never been able to truly get behind. Embellished clothing has always been a bit much for me to go with, however, I do see the merits in wearing a great top with embellishments.
If you’re like me and a bit wary of embellished outwear of any kind but interested in diving into this trend, there are some ways to do it without looking like you’re wearing a costume.
1. Don’t over do it. Embellishment can be great if done sparingly. If you wear an embellished shirt, don’t wear an embellished belt or jacket.
2. Keep your jewelry simple. One great thing about embellished clothing is that it can act as a part of our outfit as well as a piece of jewelry. If you want to wear, big, bold jewelry, don’t wear that embellished piece of clothing. It will most likely clash and make you stand out in a not so positive way.
3. Be confident. Embellished clothing will definitely make you stand out. Make sure you’re wearing the piece and not letting it wear you. Give it what I call the “eff it” boost. Before you leave the house, take one last look at yourself in the mirror and say, “Eff it.” Then walk out the door. I’ve done that in the past and it definitely makes me less self conscious when I’m wearing something that makes me stand out.
Feel free to put your own spin on the “Eff it” boost and add in your own words. I try to keep this blog PG rated (wink, wink). Below is a picture of a great, embellished shirt by Bebe. Notice how you don’t have to wear any jewelry with it.

I love this new trend that’s been going around lately. Definitely a new york or LA thing, but I found great jackets to go with this online.
I really like this style of fashion, and the tips on how to wear this clothing was wonderful!
