On Friday, one of my dreams came true! I've been watching Marilyn Denis for years with my mom, and I couldn't believe that several years later, I appeared on Fashion Fridays! You can watch my full segment here. Emily is a busy theatre student, and was hoping to take her look up a notch. The style we went for was "ecclectic chic." At first, I wanted to get to know her a little better and find out what she felt comfortable with. As I mentioned in the segment, I didn't want her to feel like she was wearing a costume, so I really focused on dressing her body type and bringing out her sparkling personality through her clothes. At first, Emily was a little reluctant to try new pieces. A cute grey tee with tassles even made her say that it reminded her of her mother's rug! It was all in good fun though, and I really enjoyed sharing some of my styling tips. For her final look, I chose a $15 dress from H&M with a great funky pattern. Emily wasn't totally keen on all the orange and brown in the dress, but I layered a gorgeous purple waterfall trench jacket on top to add an elegant layering piece. This jacket is actually from H&M's Conscious Collection, and is made of recycled fibres! The solid coloured jacket over a printed dress whittles her shape and makes this 5'10" lady look even taller! The dress is also the perfect shape for Emily, as it flares out in a subtle A-line skimming over her hips while showing off her waist - which was one of the features Emily wanted to highlight.

Nothing says spring like a fun dress, and this lemon print dress from Zara is the perfect transitional piece to go from chilly spring days to summer weddings. Layered under a jean jacket and with lace-up flats, it's a super chic look for a day of shopping. I'm super excited to be teaming up with Laura from Walking in Memphis in High Heels and Erin from The Fashion Canvas for their Trend Spin Linkup! The theme this week was prints, and I can't wait to see how you were inspired. Yesterday, I shared a cherry blossom print dress, so it's safe to say I'm obsessed with prints for spring!
