1. Nerd Crop Sweatshirt 2.Grey Letter Tube Skirt 3. Mesh Insert Top 4. Grey Letter Top 5. Zebra Crop Top 6. Love Tube Skirt 7. Giraffe Print Top 8. Number Sleeve Sweatshirt 9. Tall Sweat Dress 10. Burgundy Crop Tee

Let's get nice and sporty for Spring. Top Shop is serving up so many adorable things that it's ridiculous. Here are 10 items, all currently at Topshop.com, for your shopping enjoyment.

I think the sporty look is going to be fabulous for Spring. You can pair these things with sneaker wedges,  pumps with socks, jeweled sandals, and really all types of things. If you don't want to look ultra sporty, nix the sneaker wedges and try strappy sandals or pumps (without socks).

I Might Wear Something Like This...

I'm a big fan of casual, comfortable clothes.
Majority of the time, even if I'm going out to a club, I like to keep it comfortable.

There's no way I'm going to have a good time if my feet hurt from wearing some impossible shoes and my shirt is too tight.
Na bruh, that won't be me.

Now this wouldn't be something I would wear to a "club", but I wouldn't shy away from something like a hookah bar or a chill spot to gather with friends and get a drink.

I love the fuchsia cutout boots because they are bold and daring.
And the neon green Cambridge Satchel Co. Satchel: Excuse me sir, why are you so adorable?

If you love bold colors, don't wait until you find something perfect to match it up with.
Throw it in there, anywhere, and make it the highlight of your outfit. That's the point, right?
It's supposed to be loud; it's supposed to command attention.

So I think it makes more sense to pair bold things with a more neutral palette and pick things that will contrast with one another like the satchel and the boots.

Let's not forget the police hat...
Let me explain myself.

I would rock THE FUCK out of that hat in a moments notice and nobody would be able to tell me a damn thing.

The main ingredient in a spectacular outfit is confidence.
Never leave home without it.

How to Style: The Patterned T-Shirt.

There are numerous ways one could style a simple t-shirt, but I wanted to show you guys that basically all the same rules apply when you have a t-shirt with patterns.

Here are a few ways to style a patterned t-shirt:

1. Add accessories: Like bold necklaces, funky hats, or even a quirky tie.
2. Play around with the sleeves: Roll 'em up or plain cut them off.
3. Wear something over your shirt: I tried a bold green and black striped cardigan, a white crochet cardigan, a vintage vest (that used to be a long sleeved button up), and an old cut up NYC t-shirt. Put patterns on patterns...."at the same damn time". 
4. Layer your t-shirt over another longer top: I put my t-shirt on top of a white and gold patterned blouse for contrast. It ends up kind've looking like it goes together.
5. Add a belt to go around your waist: (which wouldn't have worked for this outfit, but doesn't mean it won't work for yours)



..and if I were wearing high-waisted shorts, you can guarantee, I would explore:
tucking the shirt in the front and letting it hang in the back,
tucking it in all together, and
tying the shirt in a knot in the front (or back.)

Also, (and I can't stress this enough) explore your local thrift store.
I got 80% of what I had on from the Goodwill or some type of thrift store.
I personally just love the thrill of finding unique clothing for the low, but if you are on a budget, this needs to be your spot.

Which style do you like most?
