Once upon a time, pairing certain colors was considered less than flattering. & pink and red was definitely one of those combinations.

I've been talking about classic prints lately and I'd definitely add gingham to the list.
It's a classic spring print and with the rise of the square neck, what better way to wear it?

I've been an advocate for all things denim for ages, so obviously I'm very into the staple denim dress. It's a piece that I believe could be considered a basic that you should have on hand, as it's versatile & can be easily switched up.

Can people under five foot pull them off? (I'm in this boat, if ya didn't know)

Graphic tees are one of those pieces from your adolescence that can be brought into adulthood if done the right way.
For clarification, I’m not talking about the tees you find in the juniors department with the puns, albeit funny, those need to stay gone. We’re talking band/concert tees and the occasional ~cutesy~ tee. (Like this dog mom one I have)

Before we go any further, we should just give a quick moment of silence for Brit & JT. Ah, the golden era.
Okay, so, it was the golden era in every way except the famous (or maybe infamous) denim on denim AMAs look. Complete with the cowboy hat to really set the mood, that moment was when the double denim look went DOA. For years since, it's been considered a faux pas, only whispered about in loathing.

LET’S TALK SWEATERS.
More specifically, the sweater over a summer dress trick that I’m obsessed with. I love the look of sweaters draped over anything- leggings, skirts, & obviously dresses.

A friend once told me that overalls are a "Kaeleen signature," & looky here, it's still true in 2018. I'm always on the hunt for a good pair (if ya fellow petites have found any lately-- hook your girl up!) and I love finding new ways to wear the ones I already have.
Take this trusty pair of shortalls. They've been in rotation for quite some time, but obviously in the winter I can't wear them without some sort of leg protection.
ENTER TIGHTS. I've seen a good shorts + tights look on pinterest about a thousand times, but I didn't even wanna think about trying to pull it off. But, fashion is about risk taking, am I right? Turns out I'm a fan.

When I decided to cut my hair again, I knew it would be a change from the endless ways of styling longer hair. But luckily I've had quite a bit of practice since my hair's been short before, & I've figured out a lot of different things you can still do. Short hair is anything but boring!
SO, I thought I'd share four of my favorite ways to style a bob or lob, all super easy & ten minutes or under!
TOOLS:
sea salt spray (I use on freshly washed hair for extra volume, especially if I'm doing waves)
water-based pomade for the finished style
1) VOLUME IS KEY no matter what your length. I love a good blow out (I really want to try drybar.. anyone have experiences to share? SORRY, getting off topic) & for this style I blow dry until it's 50% dry, then flip my hair over and dry underneath for about 30-45 seconds.
Dry the front the rest of the way, using the round brush at the crown to get a little tease going (I like to use the cold setting on my dryer to lock in the volume) then brush the ends facing away from you. Set the finished look with a gel or pomade!
2) This was one of my go-tos back when my hair was long, & it's still a favorite because it's literally two steps.
Straighten your hair or do the blow out from above, then gather the top half of your hair and tie it in a half bun. (tie it up like a normal pony & then on the last tie around, only pull it halfway through) THAT EASY.
3) Another favorite that has kind of become a signature the past couple years. I even wrote a post on it last year, & luckily the directions are still the same on a bob. BONUS: it only takes half the time it used to!
My hair holds curls/ waves better without hairspray, but if yours is the opposite be sure to lock it aaaall in. I do use pomade to help break the waves up more.

Y'ALL. These wide leg babes made their instagram debut a couple weeks ago & they're still going strong. As a petite I've always been hesitant of wide leg & palazzo pants- none ever fit me right. But as you can see,
IT IS POSSIBLE.
Look for a crop cut if possible so it hits at a perfect length. Right at the top of the ankle is a good cutoff point to keep from looking like you're being swallowed. High waist gives the illusion of more leg & flats can be swapped for heels for even more height.

LET'S TALK DRESSES. I love a good wine-colored dress for autumn, especially paired up with a cosy plaid/ flannel. Long necklaces break up the length of the dress & add a simple touch.
LACE UPS. Obsessed with this trend & I hope it's not going anywhere. As much as I love booties, these are a nice alternative for when you want a change. And this pair is so comfy, what could be better?
