How I Style Myself

Polyvore (available in the App Store and the Google Play Store) is one of my big sources of fashion inspiration, and my go to for finding out how to style pieces of clothing in my closet. I typically use Polyvore if I own an article of clothing but don't know how to style it or am looking for a way to mix up my style. It's so simple to use; simply go to the search bar search your article of clothing (ex: thigh high boots) and you are soon exposed to numerous style boards for that particular article of clothing. I also use Polyvore for my Styled by Mod Style Sets.

I have been looking for an easy way to style my thigh high boots during the summer months and was pleased when I cam across this style board featuring Kylie Jenner. It's a super easy look that you could recreate with items you already own, but if you don't own these pieces already, I'll be showing you where you can find them for the low low! The style board below was not created by me. I created this entire look in order to best style a pair of thigh high taupe/grey colored boots.

Forever 21 has tons of cropped graphic tanks similar to Kylie's that are super affordable! I wanted tops that would mesh well with my boots. The lavender cropped tank is absolutely everything! Not only does it speak to my soul (I'm absolutely late everywhere I go, not matter the occassion) you absolutely cannot beat the price of $4.90. It's giving me '90s grunge vibes, especially if you throw on an oversized plaid button down shirt and a leather baseball cap.

I make my own cutoff denim shorts, but if you aren't feeling crafty, here is an affordable pair from Forever21.com. I like my shorts to be a tad longer because I'm taller so wouldn't necessarily wear this pair. However, since most are shorter than me, these shorts would be more appealing on others than myself.

Kylie is wearing a black bomber jacket, which is probably from her brother in law's Yeezy line. While you could find a black bomber jacket on Forever21.com, I choose a bomber jacket that would best match my boots. I love this suede light pink bomber and need it to be in my closet immediately! I'm hoping that it ends up being on sale at the end of season.

I purchased my thigh boots from GoJane.com for $15.00. If you want a pair of thigh high boots, publicdesire.com has a pair for $69.99, which is a ridiculous price for something that is out of season. However, this pair of boots is the exact pair I own, so you may be able to find them cheaper elsewhere.

Accessories make the look. I would complete the look with a choker. I have a gorgeous floral choker that would look great with this outfit, and a pair of large silver hoop earrings. A light pink faux leather baseball hat would go perfect with this look, along with a "Chanel" purse in white or cream and a light pink faux fur keychain.
