Trend Update: Long Skirts

Hello lovely readers, how are you guys feeling today? I hope you're in the mood for my latest trend update. A classic summer staple, the long flowy skirt, gets a makeover this year. The overall shape of the skirt remains. The fresh look of the skirts involves the use of sheer fabrics, instead of the standard opaque shades. This fresh changes adds more of a care-free beach go-er vibe than ever before, as it makes it easier to just throw on an over-sized graphic tee and a flowy skirt. You can never go wrong with the original white skirt, it goes with everything.

If you`re worried about wearing a see-through skirt, don`t be, as some of these skirts have a built in half slip( available in thigh length to ankle length) to make this more approachable for the slightly modest folk. Another change evident among these skirts, is the use of more sweet-girly accents, such as lace detailing all over the fabric and pleating. The use of tulle fabric reminiscent of a ballerina tutu,is also popular among this skirts, which add a grunge feeling to this innocent staple. If you are an avid trend watcher, then look out for skirts with bright splashes of colour, but not neon, you do not want to over work the trend. Also,try to look for skirts with watercolour-like detailing, it give a more relaxed yet put together feel. These skirts can be worn with lace up boots, heels, basically anything. There`s the trend update,now go and get creative!

Happy Experimenting,

Summer Should Be the ONLY Season

   Summer is almost here! The sun is coming out more, the dragonflys are zipping around the air and I am done with school of the year. Well, almost. I have two exams coming up next week, and then I'm officially done. How about you guys? You have any exams? I have a love-hate complex with this time of the year. I love the end of the school year because you don't have to see any more homework or the people that you do not get along with. I hate the end of the year because of stupid exams and having to cram. I guess you can never win. Today was officially the last day of classes, and the locker cleanup was last block. I even took a picture of my empty locker. A few of my friends were crying ( sorry guys my blog hahahah) and hugging,and others, like me, were just giggling and hugging. I guess its our own way of crying. The weather outside was pretty melancholy, as there was ash in the air from the forest fires, and a steady downpour began just as everyone went outside. I'm excited for next year though. Well that's the end of my little post there. I have a hair tutorial and a makeup tutorial planned for this week, then I will take a brief hiatus to study >.<.

Happy Summer Adventuring ( makes no sense but hey, no school)
