If I had to name these shoes they’d be Pocahontas-chic.  I ordered them in my regular size…but they run a little on the big size.  If you have a narrower foot I would order down 1/2 a size with this sandal so you save time on an exchange // Shop this sandal below…

Happy shopping!   xoxo

Are you sick of seeing me in these flats yet?  I’ve literally worn them like a million times since I bought them.  I have to say that I have super sensitive feet.  I turn down many shoe purchases since the word “ouch” is not a good way to start the relationship.  But theeeeese flats.…ahhh.  They felt like butter the minute I took them out the box and put them on.  I get lots of compliments on them too.  Especially asking if they are Valentinos???   I usually answer with, these shoes cost the price of the Sales Tax of a pair of Valentinos.

This top is also on Sale…and today is the last day for free shipping!  You can find it here.

These flats come in other colors too.  I bought the blue color…but haven’t worn them yet.  If you’re looking for some comfy-stylish flats for Summer…grab them before they’re gone.  xoxo

  Midi dresses can be a challenging piece to pull off.  I have larger calves so I need to be careful that the hem line doesn’t hit the widest part.  It only will make your calf muscles look more exaggerated.  This midi dress hits below my calves which gives it a more flattering look.  Here are some other tips or things to consider when wearing a Midi Dress:

1. HIGH HEELS : This will immediately elongate your legs which is what you need sometimes when the hem line visually cuts off the natural length of your legs.

2. ALTERATIONS : A trip to your local seamstress might be what your dress needs for the perfect fit!

3. ACCESSORIES : Even this midi I’m wearing (that has no shape) can go from plain to chic by adding some basic accessories.  A hat, dressy flats, sunglasses.

4. BOLD LIP : This can transform your look.  I recommend this especially if you keep your accessories to a minimum.

5. CONFIDENCE : Have good posture.  (I definitely need to work on the posture part.  I be slouch’n)

Sweet…we got a sitter!  It’s been a long while since the Mr. and I got out.  It’s always fun to have an occasion to get dressed up for.  Especially after this long crazy week.  My poor little girl has been sick with a high fever.  In the meantime I had to take care of my mom after her surgery.  Then unexpectedly had to rush her to the ER after a complication.  That was a frightening experience.  Thankfully everyone’s on the mend and getting healthy again.  It’s crazy how those scary moments put everything in perspective.  Health is so important.  And it makes you realize that sweating the small stuff in life is a BIG waste of time.

Now onto the other stuff.  I love styling T-shirts.  They’re comfortable, versatile, and I love the juxtaposition of dressy to causal.   Wether you own a boxy, fitted, cropped or baggy T-shirt I guarantee you can rock it for your next Date night with my Tips!

3 tips to rocking a T-shirt for Date night!

1. If you’re going to keep your jewelry to a minimum try pairing your T-shirt with a dressy bottom.  Example: Slacks, pencil skirt, dressy shorts…etc.  Pretty much any bottoms that have a dressier fabric. I wore a boxy cropped T-shirt and paired it with a fun, high-waisted, bright patterned pencil skirt.

2. If you’re going to wear statement jewelry you can pretty much get away with any bottoms.  Example:  if you’re wearing your T-shirt with a statement necklace and high heels you can pair that with even blue jeans.  I added a fun Anthropologie statement necklace.

3. Accessories matter!  Tie your look together with the right shoes and handbag.  I tied in the grey tones of my statement necklace with these grey heels.  My white bracelet and cocktail ring tie in with this forever 21 clutch.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog!  I’m so excited to help give your wardrobe more styling versatility!!  xoxo

       I bought these Anthropolgie joggers on a Tuesday, and wore them Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  Hey-dont’ be judge’n 😉  I can only express my honesty to explain how much I love these pants!!  Here are my 3 most important shopping tips I always recommend before you purchase investment pieces.

1. The comfort.  Is this a piece you would want to wear?  Is the fabric soft, stiff or crunchy?  I can’t stand a pair of crunchy jeans…if you know what i mean.  I always look for materials that have some stretch in it.  You want to invest in pieces that feel good on your skin.  If it’s not comfortable to wear…I guarantee it will most likely just sit in your closet.  This brand I’m wearing has my heart.  It literally feels like you’re wearing your PJ’s!  You can read more about this brand from one of my last few posts right here.

2. The quality.  I’m pretty good at accessing the quality with just feeling the fabric.  Don’t let the price and sometimes even the name brand fool you.  I’ve bought items from the same designer and have had one be a great quality item…and the other NOT so much.  These pants I’m wearing are not what I would call inexpensive…but when you wear them so much you know it’s worth the investment.  And when something lasts wash after wash you know it’s a score in the Quality department!

3. The styling versatility.  This tip is very important!  When buying an investment piece you want to make sure you can wear it 3 days in a row.  Ok, just kidding.  But what you want to ask yourself is, “can I wear this in more than one way?”.  For example if you’re looking for a shift dress for summer try seeing yourself wearing it to different occasions.  Maybe it’s paired with flip flops, sunglasses, cross body bag and a tassel necklace for an afternoon BBQ.  Then belted with a blazer, a clutch and high heels for a dinner date.   That’s why I love these Anthropologie pants so much. They can be worn with flats, heels, flip flops.  They can be worn with blacks, whites, colors, chambrays.  Depending on how you accessorize it… will also change the look.

So keep these tips in mind the next time you’re about to invest in a purchase.  Thank you so much for visiting my blog!  xo

I love adding a few boho pieces to my wardrobe.  It reminds me of warmer days, vacations and trips to the desert.  Not Coachella.  But I would like to go one day…but for now it’s only Couchella that I’ll be attending.  You can add a little boho to your wardrobe by bringing in pieces with fringe.  This top I’m wearing above has a really fun, flouncy fringe bottom.  The upper details keep the look feminine and dainty.  You can find this top here.  Currently on Sale too!  See below for my current favorite boho pieces that you can add to your wardrobe without breaking the bank.  xoxo

I’m so excited to share my go to brand for staple tops!  Cloth and Stone all the way baby…  I love love this line!  I could probably open a small boutique with all the Cloth and stone I own…just kidding, kinda.  But what I really love most about this brand is the Quality – Style – & Comfort.  They not only carry tops but also dresses, shorts, pants…etc.  I pick up my Cloth and Stone pieces at either my local Anthro shop or at anthropologie.com.  I linked some that are currently available below.  If you have yet to own a Cloth and Stone piece you’re missing out!  xoxo

Statement necklaces. They can take a boring neckline up a few notches. But there are some guidelines to follow when sporting this look.

Here’s are my quick TIPS:

1) I would avoid all earrings unless they are simple studs.  Over accessorizing cheapens the look.

2) Update your plain collard shirt by buttoning it up high and adding a statement necklace under the collar. Instant makeover!

3) Let the necklace make the statement…and keep the rest of your look easy and simple. Think basic tee and jeans…then add the statement piece.

I’ve linked this exact necklace and a few of my other current favs below.  If you have any questions please email me at aylin@stylinbyaylin.com or comment below.  xoxo

       This top has been SOLD OUT at Anthropologie for a while now.  I’ve been keeping an eye out…and guess what???  They re-stocked in ALL sizes!!!  I will be wearing this pretty, sheer, pineapple top a lot this spring/summer.  Like they always say…”it’s all about the details”.  And this top is no exception. It’s feminine, dainty, my favorite color, flirty, and great quality.   I played down the girly-ness by pairing it with distressed, hole-y jeans.  It would also look great with cut off denim shorts, distressed blue jeans, or a pencil skirt for a fancier occasion.   Just keep the bottoms more fitted to balance the flouncy silhouette.  xoxo

This gorgeous sheer top is the perfect example of how easy it is to dress up an old T-shirt and jeans!  It’s super flowy…which I love.  I will say…I was channeling my inner ms. Roper just a little.  Even though it does “dress up” your look…you will still have an effortless, laid back feel if you wear flats.  Wearing high heels will definitely take this look up a notch.   xoxo
