I can’t believe the time has come to write my final passion blog not only of the semester, but the year! Continuing with the same theme for this blog since last August has really instilled and furthered my love for the world of fashion. In honor of this final post, I’ve decided to do something completely different than my usual analysis of upcoming fashion trends. Instead, I’ve decided to write about my personal fashion trend choices that I wear and the pros and cons of them.

 

First up we have felt hats. The thing that I love about these specific hats is that unlike other hat styles, this one can be worn all year. In the photos below I am shown wearing the same hat in both late October and mid July in Colorado. Both outfits that I paired with the hat could not be more different. In the summer outfit I paired the hat with a bandeau top and striped pants made out of light cotton. In the other picture, I’m wearing the winter outfit that I paired it with a sweater and ripped jeans. The versatility of these hats is obviously the biggest pro, however one con I have is that in the summer, the felt material can make the hat really warm and kind of uncomfortable to wear. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second fashion trend that I’ve followed are jumpsuits. In the last 2 years these have become a huge summer staple and I am totally here for them. I think that they are both a classy and casual outfit that can work for a number of occasions. I do think that there are some that are better or worse than others. The one that I own is strapless, has a cinched waist, and has a navy and white striped pattern. I absolutely love it and it’s so comfortable but my only con is that it’s kind of an odd length on me because I have such long legs and this particular jumpsuit needs a specific height to match it. 

 

 

My last and favorite trend would be leather jackets. I did actually do a post on leather jackets and since have bought another one that is a brown leather. The one in the pictures is my favorite black leather jacket that I got on sale at Nordstrom for $60 (which for a leather jacket is a steal). It makes every outfit so much more chic and is actually quite warm for the odd material that it is. The only con to leather jackets is that they are IMPOSSIBLE to clean. Obviously a stain can wipe off leather somewhat easily, but it’s still kind of gross to not wash a jacket especially if you wear it as much as I do mine.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you all have enjoyed reading my blogs and it was so nice getting to know more about all of you through your blogs. It’s obviously disappointing that I could never meet any of you in person, but I feel like this was as good of connection as we could have given the circumstances. I wish you all luck on your future academics and hope you all have a great summer!
