Les Modes D'Amour: Seven Hectic Days of Fashion

Bonjour Fashionistas! This week, I'm giving you 7 days of how to be fashionable, no matter what's on your plate! As fashionable girls, you're probably busy a lot. You have sports, voice lessons, school, studying, possibly church (I'm assuming you do, just for the few that do, but if not, feel free to ignore!). It's a crazy life, and one that requires an awesome wardrobe!

Monday's are lazy days. Really, who cares enough to look cute on a Monday? All you want to do is throw on jeans and a teeshirt and run out the door. This outfit may take a whole 2 seconds longer to put on than that, but it's way cuter. You have your simple jeans and a teeshirt (or in this case, polo)....so just throw a vest on over it! Add some cute flats and a tote to carry all of your books et voila, simple et chic.

Tuesday night is a square dance at your school. Okay, okay, what's lamer than a square dance? A square dance on a Tuesday night! You can pull of silly themed dances with style though. Just take a trendy dress, add some fringe boots and a cowboy hat, and you're the talk of the barn, y'all! I love this dress because if worn with a completely different outfit, it's still cute and not so...barnyard. But with worn with the right shoes and hat....you're ready for the tractor pull! My school is having a square dance the first Saturday, and this is what I'm wearing!

Wednesday, it's time for a voice lesson (or art class, or drama rehearsal...). You want your instructor and fellow artistes to know that you have seriously artistic style. But sometimes, the artsy look can come off as a bit...tacky. I love how simple and elegant this dress is, and how paired with the right shoes, jacket, and bag , it's artsy without being overdone. Your fellow singers...actors...painters...whatever will appreciate you and take you seriously as an artist in this!

You're president of Student Council, and on Thursday you have to lead a meeting. You want to look business-like and elegant, but at the same time you have to get through the rest the school day without looking nerdy. Blazers are very in right now, and thrown over a simple white teeshirt and tan pants, very simple. The open-toed wedges are also in, and add a fun twist. I doubt many of us have a Louis Vuitton bag, but any classy bag will do the trick, and I just love this one. Your teachers will appreciate your professionalism, both in the meeting and in class, and your classmates won't think you're a dweeb!

Friday night is date night. It's your anniversary and your boyfriend made reservations at a pretty swanky place downtown. After that, you'll head to his house to, um, watch a movie. You want to look hot, like your boyfriend knows you are, but sweet because you'll be in public and his parent and little sister may be home when you get to his house. This dress is gorgeous, and ANYTHING strapless is hot (unless it is truly horrendous). The sweater gives the outfit a more demure feel. Those earrings and that ring add a touch of class. You don't want a big, bulky bag overpowering the simple class of the outfit, so a clutch works perfectly. And of course, you have to have nice footwear at such a swanky place, but heels are so uncomfortable sometimes. You don't want blisters, so a trusty pair of flats works best! We'll see how much of that movie you remember!

Saturday night, it's girl's night out! You and your friends are going to catch a quick bite while you catch up, then head to the newest flick. You want to look cute, but casual, and you certainly don't want to look as dresses up as last night! This shirt dress is really cute (and these dresses are very in style right now!). It's simple, as are the shoes. The hat and bag add pops of color and fun, yet this ensemble is still easy to lounge around in at your favorite dinner spot.

Sunday is just a day for lounging around and finishing up some homework, plus maybe church. The idea for today was to take some accessories you could transform from church to chill, but of course if you don't go to church, you can just chill. I do, so I thought I would add it in. Anyways, this dress is really cute. Pearls add class to everything, and the bag and shoes dress it up without being ostentatious. When you come home and hibernate for the rest of the day, just a plain white teeshirt and jeans is cute but chill. After all, who cares? You're home by yourself. Of course, when the boy next door rings you bell to ask if he can mow your lawn, the shoes and pearls make your outfit just presentable enough!
