Hello there spring. Hello there House Party Weekend. It is here. Literally. If you were one of those who didn’t think to plan out your outfits for this weekend during spring break or decided that you no longer like what you had planned out … fear no more! I bet the majority of girls are scrambling to decide what to wear this weekend, and to help out, I decided to address some rules and give tips on what’s acceptable and what’s cute. So sit down, relax, drink a chai or whatever and let’s do this.
Rule #1
Check the weather – We all know how the weather is around here, anything is possible so… CHECK THE WEATHER.
Rule #2
Know the difference between daytime party clothing and nighttime party clothing – please. We all know you want to look cute and possibly impress a certain someone, but that doesn’t mean looking like Julia Roberts in the beginning of Pretty Woman. Be classy ladies.
Tips & Suggestions (for the daytime…)
1. Add a little bit of funk to a basic outfit! How?
Take the white shirt and the jean capris (or shorts) and don’t just throw on a pair of flip-flops, although that is also a very cute outfit…
Dress up your feet! Wear any pair of bright shoes you have! If you’ve got some wedges you want to show off, this is the outfit to wear them with!
OR
Another way to spice up this minimalistic look, is having an “arm party” as the ManRepeller says. Wear a chunky bracelet or a few colored bracelets to make your outfit more fun!
2. Dresses that wouldn’t make your mother shriek
Pretty Woman was a good movie. The outfits were…questionable. And so is the dress on the left. That is NOT what you should be wearing during the day.
The orange mini on the right, however, is perfect. Not too short and a great color! Tangerine was one of the biggest trends during fashion week!

3. Bustier Tops, the right way
These are all great examples of how to wear a bustier top! The key is…not showing off your midriff! Have fun with your mid-length skirts, maybe even a maxi, or just high-waisted shorts!

4. Like they do it at Coachella
A knit top with a jean vest, a pair of printed or colored shorts with a wide-brimmed hat? Yes. Oh yes. Of course, you have to wear ankle boots with this one hot outfit. If you’re feelin’ Coachella at the moment, go for it. Or, you can do the super comfortable loose tank and shorts look! Top that one with booties!

So there you have it. You still have some time so let this be your guide or at least an inspiration to dig through your closets to find something adorable! Have fun!
