STYLE BY MELI

Here is a look at my first [Stylish Picks of the Week], where I will create a collage each week with a look I put together.  I love layering long cardigans over anything that reveals the legs (such as dresses, shorts, skirts, and in this case, rompers).  I sometimes like to then belt the center as a finishing touch.  In this case, I didn’t provide a belt because I like how the sides of the cardigan have a flowing effect and I didn’t want to cover the vertical line (from the zipper of the romper).  Remember:  Vertical lines are almost ALWAYS a good thing, as it will elongate your silhouette.  

The shoe design is FABULOUS.  I love that it is pointed but has curves.  I love how it is a heel but it’s also a wedge.  It’s brilliant how this pair of shoes has everything going on at once.  The nude shade is also perfect where it’s not too light, not too dark.  It is for this reason that I think most people can pull off this shoe, no matter what skin tone.

For jewelry, I came across this really cool chandelier cuff (never seen such a thing, how elegant and unique) and small silver ring.  The handbag is gorgeous, although I would have preferred that it had silver hardware like everything else.  (Keep in mind, I think it’s totally okay to mix metals, just in moderation).  I also added a pair of hot shades to complete the look.
