What the Disney Princess Would Wear Today

Disney princesses are a classic memory from just about any girl's childhood. Belle, Cinderella, Ariel, Aurora... Just a few of the names of the cartoons we used to admire. But what would they wear if they were real today? Here are what they're styles would be like and what they might wear daily. Don't worry, it looks nothing like a poofy ball gown or a fishtail.

1. Cindella's ruffled blue dress resembles a peplum skirt or top. The white fabric underneath could go as a pencil skirt, and add a flower or plain headband. And don't forget about the famous glass slippers! Which now are "glass" heels.

2. Ariel's bubbly personailty and style includes lots of brights. For her seashell bra, a purple bandeau is put in place, also combined with a tank top over it. Instead of her teal tail, there's teal jeans. And she seems to be on the beach a lot so of course flip flops.                                                                                            .

DO:

-Stay on one to two color palettes.

DON'T
-Get one too big for you, even a little bit.
-Pile on jewelry and scraves.
-Wear with boots or clogs.
-Be too busy and loud with outer pieces. :)

The romper is definetly very busy and (usually) colorful, so keep everything elese on you netrual.

Colored Jeans: What wear with them!

Colored jeans+a cute netrual top or a bright graphic tee= a pure genius outfit! I've seen dozens of colored jeans lately and have been meaning to get a pair. It's a very fun, bright trend that makes your legs pop and shows them off. Maybe pair some red ones with a union jack tee, light blue ones with a lace top, pink ones with a black flowy shirt. The possibilities are endless. They look best with sandals or flats, and try not to pile on to much jewelry. It especially looks good if your shirt that you wear with the jeans had bits 

of the color palate from them.
