Two Outfit Twosday: 4th of July

With the 4th of July coming sooner than we expected (Yeah, it’s next week!) and the Olympics coming soon too what better way to dedicate Twosday to that! I’ve put together a few Day/Night outfits around the “Americano” theme. They’re fun and edgy and definitely outfits that will grab everyone’s attention. Not to mention, I’ve made all outfits very very frugalista friendly!

Repurposed by AshleySixto has come out with TWO Special Edition shorts that are 4th of July ready!
Outfit One (Left): Blouse, Shorts, Pumps – This is what I call “dressy casual” – You’ve got a great blouse and pumps that can be worn multiple times. And the shorts aren’t limited to just 4th of July. The “Americano” style trend is very evident in many popular stores and can be worn at all the Olympics themed parties coming soon. You see, now that’s what I call amazing pieces!

Outfit Two (Right): Blouse, Shorts, Sneakers (Can you believe they’re only $14! You better act quick! Doesn’t it have a slight resemblance to this Current Elliot jacket?)

I don’t know about you, but I love to wear sneakers. Ever since I can remember, I’ve owned Vans, Converse, and Nikes in all kinds of wild colors. So now that I’m a bit more “grown up” I still like to incorporate the style into my outfit choices.
Outfit One: Dress, Sneakers, Bag, Hat.
Outfit Two: Same Dress & Hat, Platforms, Tote.

We’ve covered the casual and dressy casual outfits, so I had to add a glammed up tropical inspired twosday outfit! I LOVE this Topshop dress! You can’t see the back details in this photo, but it’s open and very sexy. I love the gradient pattern and beaded details at the top. It’s  definitely a perfect summer dress.
Outfit One: Dress, Hat, Bikini, Sandals.
Outfit Two: Same Dress, Hair Flower Pin, Clutch, Platforms.

Splurge VS Steal: BCBG Runway Dress

splurge vs steal: BCBG Dress

I had the opportunity to style the beautiful Michelle for Valentine’s Day. I got a GREAT deal on a dress we both felt would be the best fit for the occasion. The BCBG Runway dress on the left is on sale for $109 on eBay. She’s had her eye on this dress for quite some time, but it didn’t fit within her budget. It was able to snag an almost identical copy for only $19 at Agaci! Yeah, I know. I’m good. And what better color combination than pink and red for the day of looooove? Here are a few pics how I put together her look:

Doesn’t she look amazing? If you have an event coming up and need some help in the outfit department, email me at ashley (@) ashleysixto (dot) com to schedule your appointment. I’d love to work with you!
