A brand new season of KCFW is here which means loads of Outfit Planning from my end. After a break from last season, I resumed my role as Official Media for Kansas City Fashion Week, with the KCFW FW'18 Kick-Off Event at Kindred held last Sunday. Although the weather in Kansas City is grey and wet and cold, I wanted to channel my inner Spring self. As I was shooting for this Outfit Post, a confused neighbor asked me, if I felt cold or not? Ahh, the blogger life!
I really look forward to my Outfit planning for Fashion Week, as it gives me an opportunity to sport some of my favorite trends for the season. Fashion Week can be confusing for the uninitiated, as, in Spring, you attend the Fall-Winter shows and vice versa. For my Oufuts though, I focus on the current season. In this case - Spring Summer. So throughout all that I wear this week, you will see me focusing on a few popular Spring Trends for 2018.
Gingham has been big last Spring and is clearly here to stay. Critics might call it a picnic table cover, but I love it. I styled a high-low Gingham Peplum top. I am not a fan of ordering clothes online, as I love to try of clothes before I buy them. On a whim, I had added this top to my cart while completing an Amazon order for textbooks(exact top linked above). I am petite and am DD with a booty. So the right fit matters to me. Once I received the order, I realized that the top was shorter than the length I normally wear. As I still wanted to wear it, without letting my muffin top hang out, so I had to get creative.
So here comes in my next item - my MidriseWhite denim. I had been looking to branch out to midrise denim, from my current stash of low rise denim. I had loved my mid-rise Lee Denim which was a gift from last year's KCFW. Finally found a pair of midrise semi-skinny denim, which also had a slimming effect on my muffin top. Personally, I would have preferred the denim to be skinnier around the legs.
As it was a play of Neutrals, I added a pop of color with my Statement Earrings in Yellow. As I have a warm undertone to my complexion, warmer shades like yellow compliment me more. Especially when neutrals or cooler tones have a chance of washing me out, I need a warm element or two in the ensemble. The second warm element was my affordable Leopard Booties. Leopard is, after all, a neutral. Finished it off with a dash of MAC Star Magnolia.
Stay tuned to the Blog for more updates from Kansas City Fashion Week.
