Dress Like a Child

Dress Like a Kid

If you ask a child to pick out what they want to wear, you’ll most likely get a combination of outfits. Perhaps a sparkly skirt, a polka dot shirt, rain boots, lots of bracelets and maybe even a superhero cape. … Continue reading

Back to School!

It’s that time of year where stores stop selling pool noodles and large displays filled with notebooks and #2 pencils take their place  That’s right, it’s Back to School time! Haven’t figured out what you’re going to wear? Don’t worry, Chicastic has everything you need to kick-off the semester in style!

We’re loving so many of the fall 2015 fashion trends. Here are some of our favorites and how you can incorporate them into your wardrobe!

Neon, which had its heyday in the 80’s is making a comeback but in a more sophisticated way. Paired with neutral colors such as gray, navy, or black, use neon as a pop of color to liven up an outfit while avoiding going full Saved by the Bell. Our neon scarves and clutches are the perfect way to add a hint of neon without going overboard.
Patterned hosiery and leggings are also big for this fall. Basic black stockings will always be in style, but fresh colors and geometric patterns will give your outfit the jolt it needs.

Leopard print has been all over the fall fashion runways. Our vintage style cocktail dress comes in a leopard print, but if the dress is too much leopard print for you then our leopard print scarf is the perfect way to subtlety stay on trend.

Finally, 70’s fashion is certainly making a come back. Overalls and flared jeans are back in a big way. Pair with one of our layered tops and you’re set!

Go back to school looking your best with Chicastic!

Statement Scarf

Scarves are an essential accessory. Learn how to use a statement scarf to your advantage and liven up your look.

Scarves are an absolutely essential accessory to any woman’s wardrobe. They come in handy in all seasons and there is a fabric and print to match any kind of weather, occasion, and overall ensemble. It is always a good idea to have more than one scarf on hand, and not only that, it is imperative that you have a little variety. If you’re going to have more than one of anything, you should be sure that they are as different as possible, if not just a little bit. This way, these accessories can be worn to match any look you’re going for and can truly maximize your wardrobe. Just like having that one statement bag, necklace, or shoe, having a statement scarf can be just as handy.

A statement scarf can be anything you want it to be. It can be a bold and bright color, a showy pattern or print, or even a special fabric or material. It all depends on your personal style as well as your current collection of scarves. If you generally have dark colors or opt for neutrals, then simply adding a light or otherwise eye-catching color to your repertoire will do nicely without going out of your fashion comfort zone. If you have a rainbow of these accessories already, then a print or a new material may be the option for you.

Bright colors can do a lot to accent an outfit and bring new life to it. If you’re wearing an all dark, all neutral, or otherwise monochrome outfit, then a splash of color can make a world of difference. If you have a good mixture of color worked into your ensemble, then a print or pattern (think leopard print or a multicolored tribal or floral pattern) can break up your outfit while also adding dimension. A silk scarf or a piece that uses metallic fabric can really spruce up an outfit more simply. Even if you choose a neutral, like black or beige, choosing a scarf that is either shimmery, metallic, or even silk can make you look more glamorous without much added effort. The choice is up to you. Choosing an accessory has everything to do with your intended desired effect. For best results, or if you are simply indecisive, then getting a scarf in any of these options will work wonders for your wardrobe and will ensure that you are ready for anything.

You can find a great variety of scarves at Chicastic.
