Styling How To: Glam Up Basic Garments 

Summer is officially here and the weather can get H-O-T!! Living in Michigan, eighty to eighty-five degrees is where we typically land on the thermometer plus humidity. If you want to be comfortable but stylish in hot weather, this post is for you!! I found an American Apparel romper at the Goodwill for 99 cents! (A real steal!) This romper is pretty blah on the hanger and not much to look at by itself. It can be dressed up or down obviously. You could make this romper look casual but that would be too easy so for this post, I opted to make it look a bit more glam. The color of this romper is gray and that paired with the basic design of it makes it the perfect canvas. Whenever you want an outfit to stand out, go for accessories that color contrast against the garment. The contrast creates layers but somehow is very complimentary. I paired this gray romper with flashy gold accessories as well as a leopard print scarf. The shoes I chose are snake skin print gladiator sandals for the nude appeal without actually having to wear a nude heel. The wrap part of the romper leaves much room for cleavage so I wore a skin tone camisole underneath for modesty and to avoid taking away from the romper. The gold sequin clutch was my golden goose (pun intended) so it really helped pull this outfit together. P.S. I absolutely LOVE my tan!!! Let me know what you think!! I would LOVE to hear from you all!!
