Styling The Same Skirt In Two Different Ways



  Many times we go shopping, we purchase an item and only imagine styling it in one way with a specific item we have in our closet. However, what we often fail to realize is that items can be styled in so many different ways. In today's blog post I wanted to demonstrate how the same skirt could be paired with different items in order to create completely different looks.




  In the image with the black knit sweater one can observe that the look is very relaxed as the sweater falls on the body as a loose fit.  Although the skirt is fitted, the look is much more casual as the black sweater and grey skirt both create a more toned down look.





  In the second image on can observe that adding a pop of colour can quickly change the way the skirt looks. The outfit already looks much more vibrant and more dressy than the previous outfit. The teal shirt is also loose fitting, but its texture allows for the fabric to cling more to the body when in a relaxed pose. Although it is the same skirt displayed in both images, the outfits both look very different and convey a new style.

                              

  As we often forget what we already have in our closet,  it's important to look around and try mixing and matching as you can create multiple looks with the pieces you already have in your closet.

Highlights Of My Week: Celebrities, YouTube & Food


  This was such a wonderful week filled with new beginnings and dreams/goals being put into fruition. After several months of organizing and saving money to purchase equipment, I was finally able to start my YouTube channel called Kristen Berk. I am so excited about this endeavor and I hope to continue to create great content for everyone to enjoy! 

  Also, this week I discussed the 5 top reasons we love Amal Alamuddin or at least my top reasons for loving this lady. 

  I also had some great meals this week. I went healthy with an Asian mix salad from the franchise restaurant Moxies. It was reasonably priced for a pretty decent size and tasty salad. I continued my healthy streak this week by having vegan quesadillas. I usually don't seek out vegan dishes, but this item seemed too good to pass up on; especially because the waitress raved on about how great it was. Not only was this quesadilla tasty, but it was also well priced at only $5.00 at El Furniture Warehouse, which every item happens to be priced at. And even though it's a cheap menu, the food and portion size is really good. If you are ever in Toronto, I highly recommend visiting this spot. Great meals for cheap deals!    

  Overall, I had a great week and I hope you all did as well. As well, stay tuned for my new YouTube video, which will be posted next week. *Hint it involves food. Yum.

5. Amal was able to snap Hollywood’s self-proclaimed bachelor and marry him in less than a year! Stories even claim that George had been chasing Amal after she initially rejected his advances. Well done Amal, you were able to get a man that literally said he “would never marry again” to put a ring on it!
