Pretty in Peach: Colored Skinny

Colored skinnies are a huge trend for fall! If you are unsure about wearing them because you don't know what to wear on top try a neutral top. Lace shirts go really well with pastel colored denim. 

Let's Accessorize

Turquoise is a great accent to any outfit, especially with coral or peach. By bringing in another color you brighten up all the neutrals of the outfit. This outfit is best with a nude heel or wedge. 

Hair

This is an ombre hair color. To learn more about ombre hairstyles click here. :)

Sassy & Bubbly: Animal Print

Animal prints are great to add to any outfit as a playful accent. These boots were a must-have the second I saw them! Leopard print can be fun as long as it's used in moderation. The key is to not overdo it. Mixing it in with the right jewelry and accessories will give your outfit a polished look. 

Accessories

Bubble necklaces are a HUGE trend right now! They add a fun and quirky element to any outfit. Rings are also a fun way to add pizazz to your outfit. I love my lightening bolt ring! The alligator clutch is a great alternative to a purse. It's less bulky and carries just what you need it to! Leopard print shoes are great to finish this look off. Need I say more? 

    

 

Hair

For this look I pulled half of my hair up and did a fishtail braid. For the tutorial on how to do a half-up fishtail braid click here. This hairdo is great especially if you're going for a boho chic look. Love it!

Classy and Stylish: Leggings & Stripes

Leggings are a great alternative to jeans. They are as comfortable as sweatpants but so much more stylish! If you are afraid to try a striped shirt get one with a baggier silhouette so the stripes don't pull in any problem areas. When wearing a baggier shirt it's always nice to accentuate your waist with some sort of belt so your shape isn't completely lost. 

Accessories:

Big statement necklaces are a huge trend right now! Find what you're comfortable with and go with it. They come more extreme than you can imagine, but also come in simple form like the one shown here. Big earrings and bracelets with a little bling always add that little extra umph your outfit needs. 

   

This would definitely be one of my favorite pairs of shoes. They are a little dressy but mostly casual. The high cross band at the top makes them great to wear with leggings. Everyone should own a pair of black heels that are more casual than dressy.

Boho Chic: The Maxi Skirt

This is one of my favorite outfits. Everyone needs a maxi skirt in their closet! They are lightweight, versatile, and let's not forget- super cute! I prefer to dress mine down with a denim vest or denim jacket.

Accessories

When going for a boho chic look the best accessories are gold jewelry and leather. Don't overuse your accessories. When it comes to accessorizing a look like this, less is always more. Keep it simple.

Hair & Makeup

With a look like this I feel like a natural wave is best with a bit of texture. For texture I put a mousse in my hair right out of the shower and then let it air dry. Let mother nature do the work. 

As for my makeup, today I had some fun with some blue and purple tones at the corner of the eyelid. I always use a neutral at the base so that it's not too overbearing. I use an angle brush and black powder for eyeliner.

The Messy Closet

Hello there, I'm Shaylise and welcome to my "Messy Closet." The Messy Closet is not only what you'll see when you walk in my room but a little play on my last name . Shaylise Messerly is my full name, and all I have to say is thank goodness I wasn't born with a lisp!  There is rarely a time you won't catch me laughing or smiling. I don't think that life is something that should be taken too seriously. I feel the same about fashion and style! I like to find the best in all situations and I feel like fashion is one way I can share a little bit of happiness with everyone. :)

I was born a true girly-girl. My favorite show at the age of eight was "What Not To Wear" and I absolutely adored getting clothes as a present. I had an extensive collection of Barbies with an even greater collection of clothing for them. I put on a pair of heels at the age of five and I don't think that they have ever come off! In ninth grade I received the "Highest Heels" award from the student body officers and there is still rarely a time you won't see me in heels. This is partly due to the fact that I am quite small in stature (5'1" to be exact :) and also due to the fact that they are so gosh dang FUN! 

Because of my love of shopping I needed to find somewhere to work to support my habits. I found a job at a super cute boutique! What better place to work than somewhere you can shop?! I have worked for three years at Chic Style clothing boutique in my cute hometown Eden. Eden is the sweetest little town tucked away in the beautiful mountains of Ogden Valley and our boutique is the cherry on top! Many times at work customers will say, "I wish I could bring you home and put you in my closet!" So this is my way to bring some fun tips and advice to you! I hope you enjoy!
