Finishing Touches

The icing on the cake. 

The cherry on top. 

Tying it up in a bow. 

There are a few sayings and doings that are synonimous with the final touch. When it comes to putting together an outfit, the accessories are always a fun finishing touch. Depending on the season, your climate and your style, accessories can come in all shapes and sizes. Many women I know love to finish their outfits with an infinity scarf and some cute stud earrings. Others prefer a statement necklace and some glitzy shoes. Whatever your finishing fancy is, Blackbird Attic has plenty for everyone in store:

A few years ago, the REALLY REALLY big sunglasses were in style. Now, thankfully, a more modern sunnie is what's all the rage.

Cole Haan 6090 Sunglasses I $18

This flat espadrille trend is legit my new obsession.  Wear these with a sporty sundress, with ankle pants and a button down or to the beach. The possibilities are literally endless.

Style Tip: Dresses over Pants

We're not asking you to choose one piece of clothing over another. No, we're saying that it's totally acceptable to wear both at the same time.

Come again?

If you follow the fashion blogger world, like the many of us who are obsessed, you would have noticed the newest trend of pairing dresses, yes, over pants. Sheree of, It's Not That Deep, and a local HV resident, pulls of this trend flawlessly and lets us all know how we can master the look as well.

Layering dresses over pants has been popular in streetstyle and runway trend for the past year. When done right, it can create a laid-back, urban vibe. It is also a great way to wear those dresses you were saving for a special day, or the right temperature. Adding layers, whether a dress or just an extra tee, creates more interest to your look.

Sheree layered this amazing silk vintage dress from Blackbird Attic over flared pants and under a blazer to give the look just the right proportions. See her full post on this here. 

Get styling tips on this trend and more at the Blackbird Attic Fourth-Year Anniversary Event on Saturday, April 12th from 6-9 PM as Sheree will be on hand featuring her closet sale and hosting a styling session. Sheree has been featured in Who What Wear, Lucky Magazine, New York Magazine: The Cut and more. It's going to be a great party!
