So as trends return and fade, cosmopolitan had an article on summer trends to "ditch and to wear instead" that I found to have very good information. Even though, these items and looks are in style I still wanted to provide some alternative inspired looks. This also made me reevaluate and make some changes with a few of these alternative inspired styles for my summer looks.

       Ditch-Chokers            Wear Instead-Layer long pendant necklaces

Ditch-Floral prints         Wear Instead- Fruit prints (Cheerful Cherry print)

Ditch-Fanny packs                                                        WearInstead-Straw bags

                Ditch -Crop tops        Wear Instead-Bra tops w/high waiste jeans

                         Ditch-Mules/Chokers

Wear Instead-Thick Sole Sneakers/Sandals

Just because it is in style, doesn't mean you have to wear it!
