The Bold Shoulder // red bandana + off-the-shoulder top

red white and blue outfit
Anyone else feeling festive for Memorial Day weekend? I put together this fun number not necessarily for the holiday, but I figured it'd be as good a time as any to bust it out! Plus, it's chock-full of super current trends that I'm completely obsessed with right now! So let's dive right in, shall we?

Off-the-shoulder tops are EVERYWHERE right now - have you noticed? It's kind of hard not to! The trend is SUPER hot and it's not hard to see why. After all, shoulders are such an underrated body part. Even better, a top like this works around the clock, not to mention has major sex appeal!

White jeans are a classic spring-to-summer staple. I chose mine in a cropped, high-waisted fit to easily pair with shorter tops while simultaneously showing off my shoes. Super fresh and crisp, they brighten up any look!

Another trend that's inescapable lately - the bandana. All the cool kids are tying them around their necks these days (like this, this, and this). They go perfectly with the bare shoulder trend and let others know that you're down to take fashion risks.

Flatforms - they're even better than wedges! These fabulous little sandals are comfy AND add height, what else could you ask for? Plus this red suede? So incredibly charming! I also love how they match my neck scarf and lipstick - c'est magnifique (that's French for "awesome").

I have found my perfect summer bag in this lovely little Rebecca Minkoff top handle. Bonus - it can also be worn cross body! It's difficult to see in these photos, but the purse is actually a light, dusty purple, which I love for summer and find unexpectedly versatile.

To play off this (unintentional) patriotic theme I've got going on, I chose to wear classic, stark white pearls with a twist. These pearl-back studs are such a fun alternative to your typical earring - they definitely make a statement, that's for sure!

I centered my makeup around this bold red lip. I love how it ties my whole outfit together and really completes the look. I kept everything else pretty simple - even my nails are a soft, neutral pink.

This look is all about the bold - go bold or go home, am I right? From baring your shoulders for all the world to see, to standing out in bright red, and even sporting a bandana around your neck, I'm all about channeling your inner fashion goddess and taking on the summer one trend at a time...or five at a time...nbd. 

How do YOU plan on going bold this season?
