Making Dark Colors Fun to Wear.










Photography by Deeana Kourtney Photography







      It isn't often that I wear an outfit comprised of all dark colors (especially all black!), but when I do, I want to make sure that it still reflects my personality. I love wearing bold accessories, or fashion pieces that have a fun twist to them. This flirty peplum top pairs so well with a bright statement necklace! You could easily wear this with dark skinny jeans and a leather jacket in the cooler months, but since it's currently still very warm out, I chose to pair it with these cute and comfortable J. Crew Factory shorts. These are what I think are the ideal summer shorts- they can easily be dressed up or down!


     I leave today for the birthday weekend getaway of a lifetime! I'll be back on Monday with a new post, but be sure int the meantime that you're following me on social media to keep up with my trip. (Especially on Instagram and Snapchat @miss_alk). :-) Today also marks one week away until I turn 22, and the 4 year blogiversary for my blog! Yes- I started my blog on my birthday... great planning back in 2012. Ha!

  6. That top is fabulous, I love it! I love that you dressed up your J Crew shorts. I'm not a huge fan of shorts, but this look is perfect for the hot summers we have in NC. I bet this would look super cute with skinny jeans!
