SJP TECHNIQUE

A recent blog post by Morgan Demeola inspired me to create these outfits. She wrote about the SJP technique where you can wear the same top and bottom with different shoes, jackets and purses to make it suitable for different occasions. Even though I feel like all three of these outfits could be worn to the same occasions they all still have different personalities. The outfit on the left is an edgy chic outfit which I'd probably wear when I'm going out with my friends. The middle outfit has a grunge touch and it's an outfit I'd wear to school. The one on the right is more chic because of the faux fur jacket and the style of the boots and I feel like its a night kind of outfit. 

I love all of these because they're almost all black and every pair of shoes is a pair of boots and I'm really into both. Also, the SJP technique allows me to wear my favorite color and clothing pieces, a black tee and black skinnies, to any occasion and also to make me come across in different ways even though I'm still wearing the same basics.

FAVE SUMMER SHOE STYLES

I fell in love with sandals this summer which is weird because I never liked them a lot. Maybe because I discovered different online shoe stores that have the cutest sandals and shoes in general. For example lamoda.co.uk, publicdesire, soleaffair but even clothing websites like forever21, topshop or urbanoutfitters have the best summer shoes and are also pretty affordable. Some shoes can be found in several online stores for different prices but the stores I listed don't have any huge price differences.

I still like black as a color for clothing even though it's summer because it matches everything. I thought I'd give it up this summer season but I just couldn't help myself  when I got a pair of black heeled sandals from sole affair Even though I'm still in love with black I also like white a lot more than I thought I ever would and I'm planning on bringing it in my closet more. Also: nude! Nude is such a big thing right now and I'm loving it. I'm kind of disappointed though because nude is supposed to be the color of your skin no matter what color your skin is but is mostly a light brown/beige color and never dark. I'm not dark skinned myself but I think that's stupid.
Back to the topic. Below are a few types of sandals that I really like. All of them either have straps, cut outs or laces because that's what it's all about this year. I've seen so so many heels where the front is all tied up and I like it because it is sexy and classy at the same time.

HOW TO STYLE ROMPERS

Rompers are a cool thing because they're basically a whole outfit, right? Almost. For me, a whole outfit also includes a good pair of shoes, a purse and maybe jewelry - it does not only consist of top and bottom. A romper takes away the difficulty to pair bottom and top to look great just like a dress does but adds a playful taste to it through the shorts part. Some basically look like dresses but you can move around more freely because of the attached shorts. The outfits below are for any warm season because they're short and are made of light flowy fabric. All of the outfits are more on the chic side because of the ruffles, jewelry and heels.

The outfit on the left is a little bit edgy because of the color scheme, choker and boots. The jewelry of the outfit on the right makes it seem bohemian which I really like.

BALENCIAGA CEINTURE ANKLE BOOTS

Ever since I spotted them on tumblr a few months ago they were my absolute boot goals. I love the buckles and cut outs of them and the fact that they're shiny and black. It's a classic shoe that can be worn to any kind of clothing  Since it's summer there's a little bit of time left until fall. In this time I made it my challenge to find the absolute best dupe or similar boots. I would say that I succeeded since I found three pairs of boots similar to the Balenciaga Ceinture Ankle Boots. The first pair is the one I'd choose because it is the most similar lookalike out of the three. The last one is obviously not the same color but I still like it because it also has the buckles and cut outs like the others.

The outfits I created around the boots are somewhat inspired by ones I saw on different social media. I'm pretty sure that you can replace the Balenciaga Ceinture Ankle Boots in the outfits by almost any other pair of black boots.
