FASHION FOCUS: THE COLD SHOULDER
n. Informal. Deliberate coldness or disregard; a slight or a snub: "She received the cold shoulder from the other club members"

This past Spring/ Summer season we were introduced to the ever growing popularity of the "cold shoulder." Whether it'd be on tops or dresses, it is surely to make a statement and expose what I claim to be one of the sexiest parts of a woman's body.....the shoulders.
With no particular pun intended, the "cold shoulder" trend has got nothing to do with disregarding people or being "cold" to others for that matter. The name simply derives from the simple fact that the shoulders are exposed through the cut out of the garment, which then makes perfect sense because when one part of the body is exposed and not covered, of course it tends to be "colder" than the rest of the body parts.
In this outfit, I am wearing this flowy sheer polka dot cold shoulder top that also features a peter pan collar. I paired this top with a simple yet classic dark wash denim with gray oxford flats and a subtle pop of accessory though my leather fringe bib necklace. It is a simple outfit that basically speaks for itself! It's not only casual but it's also loads of comfy!

FASHION FOCUS: FRINGE
We might say that the fringe/ tassel adornment trend bus has now been long gone. But, as expected, I never follow any of those what's in and what's out type of deal when it comes to fashion. I simply wear whatever trend at any given time, but of course it all depends on my mood and the outfit, but I digress. In my honest opinion, fringes will always have this boho-chic meets western cow gal feel to it, which carries the entire look in a simplistic way without having to over accessorize. 
In this outfit, I paired my Yoko leather fringe bib necklace in black with a somewhat monochromatic midi dress, a slouch cardigan and some open toe oxford sandals. Giving off an overall boho, vintage-y yet casual ensemble that looks like you didn't really give much thought to the look but somehow tried type of thing. --For short, this is my "lazy don't want to go to class but have to outfit" I mean, why wear just sweat pants when you could still be fashionable and comfortable at the same time?
