Homage Sportswear Light-Weight Hoodie: Fun Date Night Outfit

Date night is the understated fun girl’s activity.  Whether your married or out here living your best life, the millennial woman loves to have an on-tap date night outfit.

The looks the range from owning a skin-tight bodycon dress or pair of rhinestone skinny jeans.  It really depends on the activity.  Ladies, despite what anyone tells you, this is the time to put away the sweatpants unless the date is gym-related.  That’s another blog post!

On this particular evening, we stepped out briefly which was a last-minute decision.  I wanted something to wear that was sporty, comfortable, and trendy!

Homage Sportswear Store shipped the light-weight hoodie featured below.  You’re probably asking, “Why should anyone wear a hoodie in the summer?” Well, for several reasons:

  1. They keep the upper body warm during cooler inside environments.
  2. The jersey fiber feels soft on the skin.
  3.  Wearing a relaxed fit is forgiving for the mid-section after a few appetizers.

I selected the Chicago Cubs hoodie because of my family; they’re huge fans of the team.  My great-uncle is a member of the Hall of Fame.  It’s the one thing that keeps us connected; attending Cubs baseball games.

In the photo, I styled my hoodie with denim shorts and leopard heels.  My shoes are a throwback from a few months ago and have never worn them!

This look was fun, trendy, and different from my normal date night outfit.

Festival Fashion Celebrity Style: Coachella 2018

Coachella Festival is a time to be free and set the fashionable tone for summer activities.  The event is considered to be the epitome of boho chic with festival-goers wearing crochet tops and fanny packs.

This year, celebrities showcased their individual style.  Some went the traditional route of wearing floral tops while others selected rompers.

It was an eclectic mix of fashion!  There was definitely an influence of pop culture with bright colors and logo filled outfits.

What I Wore: Color Block Sleeveless Dress

A personal fact about myself is that I have one shopping rule.  Generally, I purchase items from boutiques or stores that have a petite collection.  I am short in stature and require a certain length and fit.  On this site I like to share styles and trends that are appealing to not only myself but to my readers as well.

This month, I was invited to attend a Women of Distinction Spring Tea.  It’s an annual event and everyone should place such an occasion on her calendar for spiritual inspiration.

What I Wore:

I opted to wear this particular dress because color blocking is the easiest way to wear varying colors.  It’s literally an art exhibit displayed in the form of ready – to -wear apparel.  For a non-traditional flair I selected a pair of black strappy heels along with a quilted handbag.

The Spring Tea was amazing and my look provided a seasonal, chic statement!

2017 Jeans Industry Trend Watch You Don’t Want to Miss

Jeans have been around for over 140 years, but even along that journey there have been changes along the way. New trends bring with them styles and options that help to create a look and define an attitude. The same goes for the 2017 jean trends that will be hitting the market in the coming weeks and months.

“There are some exciting jean fashion trends that are on the horizon,” explains Jonathan Greenberg, chief operating officer of Swat Fame Inc., who manufactures the popular STS Blue line of jeans. “They will give people a chance to show their personality, as well as add to their personal style.”

The 2017 jean fashion trends to watch for include:

  • All about the ankle. Jeans that are ankle length and have ankle detail will be a big hit in 2017. Variety will be everything on inseams ranging from 29-26; such as a step hem, curved hem, raw hem, and fray hem. A perfect opportunity to highlight your new shoes.
  • This is going to be huge this year. STS Blue will be debuting some trendy yet affordable ones at the beginning of the year, with more to be showcased in May and June.
  • Authentically Vintage Washed. People love how the 100 percent cotton gives the most authentic looking vintage wash, but it’s not the most comfortable. In 2017, look out for a super relaxed short in 100 percent cotton that is still comfortable to wear, but looks like a vintage pair of shorts.
  • Black is back. The color black has been a huge trend all year and will continue into 2017. STS Jeans will be offering a few cool black shorts, one with a cut out embroidered detail and one that is faded, destroyed and very lived in.
  • Deconstructed Boyfriend Jeans. Watch for super destroyed jeans that feature wide-open holes. These jeans will make a statement with one glance.

“LA helps to set the trends that the rest of the nation follows,” says STS Blue creative director Evelyn Ober. “We can’t wait to show you our spring collection and know they will be a big hit with those who love STS Blue, as well as those looking for something on trend and is effortlessly cool to wear this New Year.”

STS Blue has become a favorite of millennials because it gives them the chance to wear affordable Southern California-style fashion no matter where in the country they may live. They also help spread the movement through social media sites like Instagram, where their fans are referred to as “denim dolls” (#DenimDolls).

LA-inspired STS Blue is a line of jeans and jean shorts made for those who want to live the Southern California life and represent it no matter where they live. The jeans are casual chic, comfortable, and sexy. They are leading the pack when it comes to the LA-inspired denim fashion movement. Thanks to STS Blue styles, trend-setting washes and fabric blends, you can have a jean that is comfortable enough to wear everyday!

About STS Blue:
