WHITE SHOES YOU NEED FOR EVERY OCCASION THIS SPRING!

Hey girly? Ready to upgrade your wardrobe for Spring/Summer?  This year we predict WHITE colored fashion to be a huge trend.  With the little black dress replaced for the long white dress corresponding to a Cottage Core style!  UrbanOG offers a wide selection of the trendiest footwear and fashion items for a non budget breaking price.  Check out some of our favorite ways to style pumps, platform sandals, booties, and flat sandals below! 

1. Pointy Toe Pumps: Pumps can sometimes be intimidating however they are quite versatile in the fashion game and a classic shoe that literally goes with everything. We love it styles especially with a casual look like Olivia Culpo accomplished with a floral blouse, jeans, and white heels.  For a more chic look try a monochromatic look and pair these white pumps with a white on white ensemble.  Throw a blazer or a cardigan to tie everything together. 

2. Platform Slide Sandals: This year with Y2k fashion heavily trending.  You need to try a fun colored dress with these white slides.  The white color of the platform makes it match with many of the fun babygirl color aesthetics of 2000's fashion and the platforms tie in the edgy feel without looking overboard.  We love this baby blue and fun printed dress with a platform slide, it just makes for a fun flirty vibe!

3. White Flat Sandals: These white sandals literally go with everything however this Spring/Summer if you want to upgrade your look pair them with white maxi dress or a puffy sleeve white dress for a put together feel.

Y2k INSPIRED SPRING/SUMMER OUTFITS! EASY AF!

Y2K outfits feature heavily in some of our favorite films, television series, and music videos of the late '90s and early '00s. Films like Clueless and Mean Girls, shows like The Simple Life, and music videos like "Bills, Bills, Bills" by Destiny's Child and "Lucky" by Britney Spears introduced us to the Y2K aesthetic. Key features of the trend are crop tops, cardigans, and camisoles, paired with minibags, bandanas, tennis skirts, and scrunchies, in either pink, purple, light blue, or logomania and butterfly prints.

Across all the mentioned pop culture references is a lifestyle that boasts fabulosity and excess. That's because the year 2000 was also when fast fashion as we know it was born. The high street and online shopping took off at the turn of the millennium, which resulted in many of us having way too much stuff. The Y2K comeback in 2020 is not only about the final era of vintage nostalgia, but it's about using sites like Depop, eBay, and Vestiaire Collective to repurpose the mounds of clothes from the early aughts into fresh, sustainable outfits, says PopSugar. 

UrbanOG is embracing this style era comeback and are loving every minute of it.  Here are some OOTD inspirations for your next look.  Got your Y2k vibes outfit ready?  Make sure you post on Instagram and #loveUOG for a chance to be featured on our page! 

1. Put A Butterfly On It: A huge 2000 trend comeback is flirty butterflies. The girly glam of it adds a nice touch to any outfit and is a feminine touch to your look. Pair a butterfly top and shorts with a faux fur sandal to complete the look!

   


2. Bold Prints: This season let's have a lil fun with our prints and Y2k fashion definitely embraced it. We love ZEBRA print! Pair a bold print bottom like zebra with cropped top and platform chained sandals for a chic easy fit.

 
   

3. Pink on Pink: Get your Barbie Girl fantasy on with a pink ensemble. Baby pink and all shades of bright neon pink will be huge this Spring/Summer, so if PINK is your favorite color this is your time to go all out! Pair a matching pink set with a fluffy sandal and clear rhinestone accessories for the full fantasy!

If your nail polish rotation is basically just three different shades on repeat, then we get it—we all know how easy it is to get stuck wearing the same thing in the same way. Once you find a color that captures your vibe and your style, it’s pretty much your go-to for the entire season (or, let's be real, your entire adult life). But it's 2021! If there were ever a time to fully shirk the trends of last year, it's right now. So, instead of reaching for your usual classic red nail polish, let's shake things up a bit, yeah?

And to help you stop being so damn predictable with your spring nail colors this year, we’ve rounded up the coolest colors for you to try out for spring 2021!

1. Zesty Lemon Yellow: One of these years pantone colors of the year and also one that compliments many skin tones.  A lemon yellow will add a chic pop of color. 

2. Muted Baby Blue: Love color but don't want anything to crazy? Pastels are a huge trend for 2021 and a baby blue nail will surely get you together.  Make sure to choose a more muted baby blue for a new age look.
