Style Icon: Mollie King
I felt it was time for me to write a post about a style icon who was a little more modern, and who better than Mollie King from The Saturdays? She is just so adorable and british, and every time she goes out she looks impeccable.
Her style is very girly, preppy, and classic. She wears certain trends, but she never overdoes it, and as a result her outfits could fit into many different eras of style. She loves prints, especially polka dots, collars, and statement jackets.
For jackets, I kept it simple and classic, with a tan trench coat and a black moto jacket. For dresses and rompers, I chose a leather look shift dress (which is perfect because leather and leather look is a trend, but shift dresses are classic) and a lace romper. Mollie loves big bags,, that are held on the wrist, in neautral colors that can be paired with anything. For shoes, she wears heels pretty much all the time, mainly classic pumps and heeled booties, but for some flat shoes you could try some brogues or ballet flats with a cute little bow. And finally, she loves statement and printed shorts and skirts, so I put a few options up in varying styles - a standard denim hot short in a girly color, a pair of culottes in a neutral color, and a pair of patterned cotton hot shorts.
Some items I didn't include but are essentials to get Mollie's style are classic blue jeans, white or neutral shirts or t shirts, and t shirt dresses. But, I figured that these are pretty standard wardrobe pieces, so I left them out of the polyvore set.
What are your thoughts on Mollie King's style?
Love,
Caro

Leather Dresses
Leather dresses are a huge trend this year. In fact, leather everything kind of is. I honestly never thought that I would be a big leather (or in my case, faux leather) person, but this trend has grown on me so much. As far as leather dresses go, I've noticed two main styles - leather shift dresses and leather trim dresses.
If you're feeling adventurous, then you can go for the leather shift dress. These dresses are best worn with simple accessories - black tights, simple jewelry, and heels or flats depending on the look you're going for.
If you're not feeling as daring, you could always opt for a more subtle take on the leather dress trend - leather trim dresses. For a dress like this, I would tone down the accessories, maybe just a ring or two, and again with some cute tights and shoes.
The Zara dress I used in this set isn't on the website (it might be sold out), but here is another similar one.
I hope you guys are enjoying this trend as much as I am!
Love,
Caro
