Preppy & Casual Look

Piece of the Day: Plaid skirt.
Where I bought it: Forever 21
Brand: Forever 21??
Price: $14.99
Colors: Just the cream and black.
Where you can find it: A store like H&M, Forever 21, or even J. Crew (if you're willing to spend more).

I absolutely adore skirts.  You will come to learn that.  I wear skirts more than jeans or even dresses.  Skirts are a comfortable and fun way to make any outfit 100x more interesting.  I always wear some spandex shorts underneath all my skirts (because wind).  I bought this skirt over the weekend and I just had to have it.  It is simple but also eye-catching in my opinion.  It adds an element of the preppy factor with it's pattern and neutral colors.
I paired this with a simple silver necklace, sandals, and a plain black tank top with a cream cardigan over it.  The cardigan itself has some beaded details along the hem and is quite adorable!  I wore this to school today, but I would wear it out to lunch or to go out with friends during the day!
Adieu.

Don't I live in such a beautiful place?




Pretty beaded detail!  Very simple.

Simple, Classic, Everyday Look

Piece of the Day: Pinstriped button-up.  
Where I bought it: Kohl's.
Brand: Apartment 19.
Price: $17.99
Colors: White w/ blue-gray stripes.  White with light red stripes.
Where you can find one similar: Nearly anywhere!

I love feeling put together.  A pinstriped button-up shirt always makes me feel just that.  Today I paired it with white lace shorts, gold sandals, and a diamond encrusted bangle.  
It also looked good and a little more laid back with a pair of cuffed jeans.

I felt confident because I felt so pulled together (button-up shirts tend to make someone feel that way!).
I could go to school, shopping, out to eat, a movie, on a date, out with friends, a party, or even to the beach!  It is a comfortable look with simple elegance.

Welcome: Classic Style

Welcome to Darling Diamonds, a fashion blog ran by me, Isabel, who also runs the blog Little Thoughts, Big Ideas!

 Hi, I'm Isabel and I am so proud to bring you this blog that focuses on all things style.  My personal blog (the link is above) really does not include a lot of fashion in it.  Yet, I absolutely adore style and one of my friends, Cassidy (who also blogs), suggested I create a blog based solely on fashion.  I have always been tempted by the idea, and finally decided to roll with it!  


Style is something that we can make completely ourselves.  It is a representation of who we are and what we want to be.  I love experimenting with all sorts of styles, but I would consider my look to be mostly polished and classic.  I love diamonds, pearls, and a nice button up shirt.  Never underestimate the power of a little black dress.  I hope you stick around!
