Classic American Style

Faded jeans and sun washed t shirts, tousled hair and natural makeup, this is the classic American look. Throw on a baseball hat from your favorite team and you've got yourself a perfect look for just about anything. American classics, like a 1964 Ford Thunderbolt never go out of style. They always look clean and classic and timeless.
These outfits can also be easily dressed up or down. A simple t shirt and jeans with a nice leather belt can be dressed down with flip flops, made a little more casual with boat shoes and then dressed all the way up with a pair of nude pumps and the bottoms of your jeans rolled up.
Add a little jewelry for some sparkle and you can make this look even more versatile. Any outfit can really be played with to make it more casual or more formal but with your classic American pieces you can go a long way.
Classic American staples can be your favorite pair of jeans that fit just right, a plain crew neck t shirt in your favorite color, a green army jacket, worn in converse Chuck Taylor's, your most comfortable pumps and a faded brown leather belt. The key to all this is comfort, you want to make sure everything your wearing looks great but is still comfortable. So your old Chuck Taylor's from high school would be perfect along with those jeans you wear every chance you can because they fit just right.
This look is so simple and easy and comfortable and is so simply achieved because its really everything you already have in your closet. You just have to play around with the pieces to create the right looks. It's all up to you. 

Ordering Online

Homecoming was exactly a week and a day away, I still had no dress. The only logical thing to do was order something online (except not because what if it didn't fit or I hated the length or it was totally the wrong color). Something I'd never seen in person before, never tried on before, but fallen completely in love with. 

I grabbed a tape measure and measured myself accordingly. I was between sizes. Picking up the phone, I dialed Vineyard Vines number, which is where the dress is from. 

I talked to Craig who I told my measurements and he told me exactly what to do. This all happened Monday. I ordered the dress that night, (along with a few other items that had been sitting in my wish list long enough). 

The dress came Wednesday. I anxiously opened the box and there it was. It was completely perfect. I loved it even more in person.

 But then came the moment of truth. I had to try it on. I unzipped it and stepped in and zipped it up, and it fit PERFECTLY. I don't think I'd ever been so happy about something fitting me, now I just can't wait to wear it!
