Inspired by a recent scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream, I decided to put together an outfit for Indie Style 101.
It’s been a long while since I’ve put together an outfit for Indie Style 101, so I decided to do something about that! I’ve been draw to winter white lately, so here’s what I came up with.

Hello! My name is Shannon and I’m the summer intern for Jen at Indie Fixx. Although this job is all done online, I’m from the Detroit area in Michigan. When I’m not working (I do that a lot), I’m spend my time
painting, drawing, writing, crafting, modeling and doing all sorts of other creative projects. My most recent kick is interior decorating.
For my debut post, I’ve put together an outfit for Indie Style 101 for you today. I love this outfit because it’s the best of both worlds: modern, and vintage! What more could you ask for? The simple dress makes a statement, while all of the other feminine accessories give it a subtle touch.
No. 1 – Zebra Cardigan by Lazy Jane Tees.
No. 2 – Zipper Necklace by ispeakgeek.
No. 3 – Fuschia Flower Bunch Clutch by AMSIE.
No. 4 – Lisle Black Cashmere Wool Blend Dress by Leanne Marshall.
No. 5 – Chic and Sultry Lace Leg Warmers by Mia Baggali.
No. 6 – T-strap Heels by Golden Ponies.

This Indie Style 101 outfit brings handmade pieces, natural resources and a closet basic into play.
Nothing is more perfect that a comfy, cozy dress. I like choosing basic colors and classic pieces allowing for a blank canvas to decorate with my favorite accessories. This long-sleeved maxi dress is perfect for a lunch with the girls, a shopping run in town or an evening dinner date with your guy. A turquoise stone necklace adds such a great pop of color to the dark gray. And, the natural wooden watch and platforms provide texture to the whole outfit. I love incorporating nature into my ensemble. Grab a sleek clutch and you’re ready for whatever the day brings!
No. 1: By The Fire Chemise from Anthropologie
No. 2: DATE beige watch from WEWOOD
No. 3: chalk turquoise necklace from the vamoose
No. 4: SILVER SAGE clutch from MPsen
No. 5: High Walnut Point handmade shoes from mohop

Have you ever found a fabulous necklace that truly makes a statement, but aren’t sure how to wear it or if you could pull it off? Well, I am here to tell you that you can most certainly make it work! Fashion is all about confidence and finding your own personal style, so I have gathered some awesome indie items to show you just how to work a statement necklace into your own style, no matter how simple or classic it may be!
This look is perfect for a dinner date or an evening event. It is simple and elegant. The neutral color palette allows the deep plum purple of the necklace to sing. The ruffles of the necklace add a softer touch to the structured dress.
Like to dress more laid back and are you all about comfort? Well, this look is for you. The fringe of the necklace adds an extra visual interest for a casual ensemble. It also gives a pop of color and flare with ease, giving you the ability to dress as comfortably as you want and still look extremely fashion forward.
For those with more minimalistic taste, this style is great for you. The color block dress allows the bag and necklace to take center stage. The accessories give a touch of color without making the look to complicated or busy.
