relaxed minimalism by tope-229 featuring stretch jewelry

The relaxed, minimalist look is a major trend this spring that has been sweeping the fashion industry as seen at Stella McCartney, Elie Saab and Micheal Kors shows. For inspiration, take a look at the lovely lady pictured above, who i spotted in Unilag [looool], she is one of my best friends. I love the way my modish muse has created a fashion-forward look by combining a few key pieces. Her teel-green cropped pants and basic tee are both wise investments, as they are pieces you will return to time and time again. In addition, when combined with a few smart accessories – in this case, embellished flats and a brown leather bag and belt – they create a modern minimalist look that is effortlessly chic and perfect for summer. I have my version in the picture too which is equally as stylish. Take a que from this style guide and get on board the minimalist train.
