On the site you can make sets which can focus on fashion, interior design, or art and expression. You can also create a collection or template from your sets.

Among my more recent sets are some outfit ideas for spring and summer, each of which are casual, fun, and easy to create using clothing items you already own or finding affordable pieces that are similar.

Outfit 1

As pictured in this set, this outfit would be great for bike riding, but still quite stylish. It combines medium wash denim capris, a bright graphic tank top, white canvas shoes, and some fun but simple jewelry. Friendship style bracelets are very trendy this season, they come in so many different designs and colours or you could even make your own as I displayed in my Digging DIY post.

Outfit 2

This outfit would be great for dinner or drinks with your friends, or a family bbq. It's still a casual look, but a little more dressed up and girly. It features a sundress, denim jacket, sandals, some colourful jewelry, and a white cross body bag. I included a denim jacket in this look because sometimes the evenings can be very cool, especially in the spring.

Outfit 3

This outfit is a casual, everyday look that is a perfect combination for the summer. It includes a flowy batwing top, light wash denim shorts, white canvas shoes, some antique style jewelry, and a teal cross body bag. I think that white canvas shoes are a staple that every college girl should have because they're comfortable, easy to pair with almost anything, and available at affordable prices. I recently just bought a pair at Payless for $17. I added a photo of a side braid, which would be a great way to finish off this look.

Outfit 4 

This last outfit is another everyday look that is very simple, quick, and easy to put together. It combines a white v-neck tee, dark wash denim shorts, sandals, a long pendant necklace, friendship bracelets, and a tote bag. Stylish jewelry such as the necklace pictured becomes the focus of the outfit and adds interest to a plain white tee. You can also add more to this look by wearing a trendy nail polish colour and/or colourful sunglasses.
