Summer Crochet

The crochet trend has piqued my interest for a while now. However, I haven't jumped on it until now. This pink crochet skirt from Newchic looked like the ultimate skirt for the summer. I paired it with the striped crop top (also from Newchic) to create an easy, breezy look.

I dressed up this casual look with my Rae suede flats from Sam Edelman. Oh, I can't tell you how much I love Sam Edelman. Their sandals had been on my radar for a while now. But when I found this pair of suede flats in my favorite color, I couldn't say no. This would be my summer outfit inspiration for you using the crochet trend, but I have to tell you there are several other ways to style the skirt. I know because I've worn it plenty of times since I got it on the mail. #sorrynotsorry

How would you wear a crochet skirt?

Sporty Chic

Growing up, my fave Spice Girl was Sporty Spice. Even though I am a girly girl, I do believe that I have a sporty side to me as well. I like to engage in sports (particularly basketball and volleyball - both to play and watch). In fact, a few people are surprised to know that I was actually part of the varsity women's volleyball team in our school. That is one side of me that I like to unleash from time to time.

Espadrilles: Soludos

Earrings: Soufeel (c/o)

I also like to extend my sporty side when it comes to fashion. Sure, I love wearing heels and pointy flats to create a feminine look, but I like to trade that with espadrilles and sneakers from time to time. This look showcases those days. I wore this knit sporty dress with my new fave comfort shoes from Soludos. When I purchased this particular shoes, I only had one thing in mind: summer. It is super comfortable and easy to style - such a versatile piece. But I had to say, pairing it with this Newchic dress is my favorite. I suggest you check out Newchic - I have to confess I did not keep my expectations up. But they blew me away! All the pieces I got were of excellent quality given the corresponding price tag.

Do you have a sporty side, too?
