10+ Ways to Style White Booties

Kristen Peterson

Fashion trends can be confusing because they are always changing and sometimes it seems as if we can't keep up. 

 I don’t personally like to invest in things that may look dated in a year or two, but life is short and sometimes it’s fun to try something different. Styling these trends is one of those things I like to play around with when I want to shake up some of my looks.


 
The Trend White Booties 2.png

I was a little hesitant at first to try the white bootie trend, but they are back for a second Fall Season and I am really attracted to them. 

As with any item of clothing and especially when considering a new purchase, I don’t like to commit unless I can find several ways to style them. So, I created a quick styling video on IGTV to help encourage you to try them if these little white booties have been catching your eye too! 

If you haven't watched it already, head over to Instagram, I'm @therealchachaolivia (and be sure to follow me for more style tips). 

 
1-3 Denim.jpg

1-3. Pair with Denim

The first 2 style tips are all about denim! Denim is a “go-to” for me as I love dressing jeans up and down. White boots add that much more dimension to denim.

If you are shy at first about trying this fashion-forward trend, have it peep out the tip of a bootleg jean.

1. A bootleg jean. If you are shy at first about trying this fashion-forward trend, have it peep out the tip of a bootleg jean

2. A cropped jean will really draw attention to the bottom and show off the look.

3. A tapered jean can be adjusted to just the right length to work with your own personal bootie pick.

4. Pair with the Unexpected

Try your booties with a dress or outfit that you normally wear more dressed up.

This will make the dress or outfit more versatile and add to your unique style.

5. Try a Pair of Joggers

Not real sweatpants but the joggers that look more like leisurewear.

I paired them in the video with the Alice and Olivia vegan jogger.

5 Back to Denim.jpg

6. Okay….we are back to denim!

I wore mine with a midi length denim skirt and loved the look.

7. A Monochrome Look

Wear variations of white and beige to add length. I have always loved an outfit made with different shades of color and white is no exception!

7 Shorter Dress.jpg

8. Style with a Shorter Dress.

If you love your legs, why not accentuate them? And if you don't, it's a great way to practice body positivity!

8 Patterned Pant.jpg

9. Try with a Patterned Pant

Especially one in black and white will give you a fresh new option from the typical “black and white” look.

9 Asymmetrical Hem.jpg

10. Pair with an Asymmetrical Hem

This would be another fun option for showing off that new addition to your wardrobe. I used an asymmetrical dress but you could use a skirt too.

10 Boho Change Up.jpg

11. The Boho Change-Up

Adding white boots to one of your favorite boho looks will change the whole look around.

A cowboy boot in black would normally be the perfect “look” to wear with the dress in my video. It spices it up and mixes the style by adding the white bootie.

 

Those are my White Bootie Styling Tips, I hope they were helpful and that you'll try a few. If you do, don’t forget to share your looks with me @therealchachaolivia. I’d love to see the outfit combos you create with this fun style trend. If it's new for you and something you've been considering, take a chance, you might just end up loving it!

10 Unique Ways to Wear a Graphic Tee

Kristen Peterson

Graphic Tees are pretty popular and it doesn’t look like they are going anywhere anytime soon!  They add great spice to an outfit and are so much fun when chosen over a plain white tee. (Not that plain white tees aren’t important!) Graphic tees are always great under denim jackets and worn with jeans, however, there are many more ways to wear them. I created the attached video to show you a few of my favorite ways to style them. You can watch it here...IGTV video @therealchachaolivia 


Let's have some fun and shake it up a bit!

Graphic Tee_1.jpg

Pair it with a Printed Maxi Skirt.

Graphic tees are always synonymous with casual style. Glam it up a little bit by pairing it with a soft, feminine skirt. My personal favorite skirt pairings are Midi or Maxi lengths. Be sure to coordinate the colors!

Graphic Tee_2.jpg

Under a Blazer

Wearing a blazer over your tee will not only finish off your outfit (remember the 3rd piece rule?) but will take your graphic tee up a notch . Opt for a different fabric...Why not try velvet for the cooler months ahead?

Graphic Tee_3.jpg

Under a Duster

Pairing a graphic tee with a duster is a great seasonal outfit because it creates a layering opportunity for the cooler weather while adding interest to your look.

Graphic Tee_4.jpg

Layer Over Long Sleeve Tee

While there are long sleeve graphic tees, short sleeve tees offer more versatility because they can easily be layered and worn year round! Pair your layered look with jeans or a wide leg lounge pant to complete that look.

Graphic Tee_5.jpg

Glam it up

Add glamour and accentuate the waist with this tip!

High waisted pants can bring your graphic tee some glamour! It will accentuate the waist and create a defined look. They especially add some drama when paired with the perfect stilettos.

Under a Denim Blouse

Casual yet stylish, this look is perfect for the busy lady!

Where style meets comfort. A denim button down over a graphic tee is the perfect “on the go” look for any busy woman. Add some stylish sneakers and you are put together and ready to tackle the day!

Graphic Tee_7.jpg

Try a Different Type of Denim

Graphic tees are often paired with denim shorts or denim mini skirts. Why not try wearing it with a long denim skirt and a pair of boots for an effortless and stylish outfit.

Graphic Tee_8.jpg

Pair with a
Striped Pant

Looking for an anytime look? Pairing a graphic tee with a railroad stripe pant or jean can create a look that is perfect for virtually any occasion. Wear sandals for a more casual look. Add some pumps to level up the look a bit.

Under a Suit

Chique, Stylish and Glamorous.

Graphic tees can be instantly elevated when paired with the perfect suit. Choose a tee that adds a pop of color to your look. Keep an eye on material too, a softer, silkier fabric will add more glamour to the suit.

Tie a Plaid Shirt Around Your Waist

Easy, casual and fun!

Plaid shirts tied around the waist of your graphic tee is casual, fun and easily achievable for everyone! Be sure to coordinate the colors of your blouse and tee.

Best Way to Add Color to Your Wardrobe

Sol Operation Solutions

DSC00401.JPG

Are you in a color rut? or a "colorless" rut might be a better way to describe it! Is your closet full of black and neutral pieces?

I bet every time you wear color you receive lots of compliments. I'm also willing to bet it's an instant mood booster. I know it is for me! And, in 2020, who can't use a mood booster!

Did you know that wearing specific colors, (color therapy) has been used in spiritual and chakra healing for many years to help raise good vibrations? It really works!

It would be very easy to recommend changing your nail polish, adding a pop of color to your handbags or shoes and those are great ways to bring in colors but are still a little non-commital.

Here are three great ways to bring color to your wardrobe to brighten your complexion and your mood. These suggestions will add color to where it matters most (to your face), they don't have to cost a lot of money and won't create outfit dilemma by making them difficult to style.

1) Tops and Tees

Tees are easy because they don't have to cost a lot of money and you can accessorize with a necklace or fun scarf to make your outfit look more than just a tee and bottom. Try using the scarf around your waist or belt loop to coordinate the whole look. If a tee is too casual for what you need try a cardi layering piece combo. aka as twinset. this doesn't have to be your mother’s twinset, it can be very updated by wearing the cardi tied and worn across your shoulders, around your waist or "shoulder robed" just covering your shoulders.

2) Dresses

These don't require a lot of fuss because you pretty much have one piece to worry about and all you have to style is the shoes. You can have a little more fun here by making it a dress in a print. Find prints you love...geometric, floral, large floral?

Dresses are a great way to spruce up your wardrobe. With an easy shoe and accessory swap, you can go from casual to dressy in a minute!

3) Let’s Talk Makeup

Shake up the lipstick and shadows. You don’t have to be super bright, just bringing your lip color up a notch will do the trick! Pre-COVID, I was in a HUGE makeup rut…I noticed how much better I looked on video calls with just a pop of color on my lips. I still love my natural, neutral lips, but if I am going to be on a video call I “take it up a notch”!

Some Final Thoughts

These are just a few of the easiest ways to add a pop of color to any wardrobe. There are endless ways to add color to your closet and if you want to shake up your color vibes, I’d love to help!

What's In My Bag: Beach Bag Essentials

Sol Operation Solutions

When we think of a “beach bag” we don’t normally think of strategy and style. Let’s chat today about what’s in my beach bag! I’ll give you a hint, everything is simple, accessible and anyone can get these items for a reasonable price.

CHECK OUT THE WHAT’S IN MY BAG SERIES: MY BEACH BAG FOR A CLOSER LOOK AT ALL OF THESE ITEMS @TheRealChachaOlivia.

Screen Shot 2020-07-06 at 10.07.45 AM (1).png

Crushable Hat!

This is my go to beach accessory that I carry with me every time we plan a trip to the beach here in our hometown or on our vacation. You don't have to spend a lot of money. Pack it and roll it, it will pop back into place! My go to hat is my Helen Kaminski Packable Hat from Nordstrom.

Sunscreen

A good reasonable clean sunscreen made for everyone is from Beautycounter. It is healthy, with non toxins. This is a definitely a necessity and my favorite Beautycounter products are the sunscreen lotion and sunscreen for face.

Ice Pack Pouch

Inside your beach bag pack Icy Cools Neoprene Insulated Pouch. For all the products that can’t handle too much heat just pop the pouch in the freezer with the ice pack inside the pouch and you will be ready to hit the beach in no time. Since I usually have a bare face at the beach I like to carry my Laura Mercier Hydrating Lip Balm and Facial Sunscreen from Beauty Counter. It’s nice knowing I have my favorite items protected from the heat at the beach.

Personal Cup Holder- No need for beach chairs!

If you plan on staying at the beach for a whole day these “cup holders” are a must. You can easily pack the stackable cup holder that can be placed directly in the sand, keeping your drinks and water bottles sand free.

Sand Problems? Don’t worry I have the best product for you!

Beach Sandy sand remover brushes are my new favorite essential beach item. There are a couple of sizes that really work on just about anything. The bristles of the brush are soft and not harsh on the skin or anything for that matter. It takes the sand off of surfboards, skin, towels, bags, phones, and dog paws too! I’ve put it to the test and this product is a must have!

IMG_1206.jpg

Beach cover up

I got the thing for you! The Sarong is a great item to have that can be used to and from the beach. There are many colors you can choose from to make your beach style complete. The best part is you can wear this is many different ways that compliment your body and the hot temps outside.

The Towel Deal Situation: I have a game changer for you

Towels are so bulky to pack and don’t really dry quickly and hold so much sand! Well I have a solution for this beach dilemma. It’s the beach towels from Dock & Bay. They are super easy to pack so you won’t need that big towel bag anymore. They come in various sizes, colors and patterns. The best part is they dry very quickly & you can shake the sand right off! It’s the perfect item for your beach bag.

The Thigh Problem; I was not blessed with a thigh gap. Not an issue anymore!

I saved the best for last! Let's be honest, the friction between our inner thighs is a hassle in itself and can be worrisome. The real question is how do we deal with it. Well this product is a life saver and works wonders for me! I learned about this brand from a podcast with Marie Forleo and Katie Sturino (Founder of Mega Babe) and I have been hooked on the MegaBabe brand. Try the Thigh Rescue Anti- Friction Stick! Available at Target & Ulta! Thank me later.

Some Final Thoughts

Remember to go out this Summer and have fun while being safe at the same time. I hope these tips will make your next beach trip easier than before so you just have to worry about your tan.

Building On Your Summer Classics With "On Trend" Yet Timeless Pieces

Sol Operation Solutions

I’m excited to show you how to build on your Summer Wardrobe of basics by mixing in some “on trend” but not too trendy pieces to update the looks.

I chose 11 of my “go to” Summer basics to work with as examples. Your basic options can be similar they don’t have to be exactly the same. For instance, you might choose denim shorts where I chose white or black. You might choose a navy, shorter dress where I chose a white longer version.

Check out this IG TV Styling Series @TheRealChachaOlivia for a closer look at all the items and styling tips CLICK HERE.

11 Basics Items you need in your closet

Take a closer look at the Chacha-Olivia: Summer Classics Catalogue

Add a heading (4).jpg
  1. A lightweight dress-Long, short or midi. You can be pair it with sandals or fun sneakers. I get lots of mileage from this dress because it can be paired with so much. You may choose a different length or color but it would still be a great basic in your closet.

  2. A denim jacket- This item is a great match with different outfits pretty much year round!

  3. Solid Shorts- Neutral color  

  4. Basic pants- Neutral color

  5. Denim Skirt/Shorts- Length is your preference

  6. Denim Blouse- this is also another great piece to have in your closet year round. In the summer you may choose sleeveless.

  7. Light weight Short Sleeve Blouse- I get a lot of mileage out of this item too! Plus it is really comfortable and cool!

  8. Basic White Tee

  9. Simple white tank- another top that can be paired with everything and a tank top is a must have for the Summer.

  10. Sneakers- White sneaker can be matched with all different colors and styles

  11. Sandals- Pick a neutral sandal that can be switched between outfits

These are all great capsule items. A good rule of thumb, especially for a capsule, is 3 tops to 1 bottom. You could easily pack for a 2 week trip using these items creating around 15 outfits. That is really convenient and you won’t wear the same outfit twice.

On to updating these basics with “On trend” fun pieces to round out your wardrobe and create double the looks!

Take a closer look at the Chacha-Olivia: On Trend Summer Wardrobe Builders

Try adding the following…

*A printed tank. One that will work with 3 bottoms and that you can layer with the denim jacket too. This will give you a sleeveless option for those hot and humid days. Not into sleeveless? We can look at cap sleeve or you will see other options in the catalogue.

*A puffy sleeve is so on trend right now. My advice here is don’t overdo the puff. You will want to wear it in seasons to come! I opted for white and chose simplicity here because I knew I wouldn’t be layering it.

*Add a printed bottom or solid bright color pant or short. You can choose lengths from Mini, Midi, or even Maxi to fit your style.

*Finally shoes can be a great way to add some flare to your capsule items as well give your wardrobe a new look.

Here are my suggestions…

*Slides/Mules are very popular for Summer. You can choose simple again here or add something with some flair. I love this mule option over a flip flop. There is definitely more support and coverage but you still have the feel of being in a sandal.

One of my favorites to add to my capsule items is a trendy sneaker. You can choose a wild print to pair with your basics. You may choose a more mild look but try something that isn’t white!

Some Final Thoughts

Keep in mind ladies that these are my style picks. What I want to encourage you to do this Summer is to step outside your box and really make your wardrobe work for you. I’m all about shopping your closet and getting the most wear from what is in your wardrobe already. It is fun to add dimension to your wardrobe by adding pieces of interest! Please share your photos with me @TheRealChachaOlivia or use #ChachaOliviaStylingTips. I love seeing all your creative minds and confidence bloom through your style.
