The fashion blogger and designer (her brand, Song of Style, is available at Revolve) knows how to find the deals. “I always love to like splurge on timeless pieces, like a really good oversized blazer that I know I’m gonna wear forever, a really good handbags, shoes or even trousers,” she says. “And then I like to save on pieces that are more trendy.”
What She Looks for At Marshalls
“I saw so many incredible sunglasses and handbags,” Song says of a recent Marshalls trip. “I think they have such a great denim selection. Sometimes it’s hard for people to shop for denim and they have so many different kinds of brands and styles.”
How Being a Mom Changed Her Style
Song is a new mom and revealed her style has changed a bit after her son Teo was born. “Before having a baby, I wore so much color, I showed so much skin,” she says. “But being a new mom with my postpartum body, I’m gravitating towards things a little bit more comfortable.” But don’t worry — she’s still a cool mom. “What I’m really into this summer is cut-outs,” she continues. “I’m also very much into loose silhouettes. So instead of something super tight or super short, I just love like an oversized pant, high waisted with maybe a band tee.” She loves a comfortable ‘fit that feels “elegant but also effortless” and can easily be packed in a suitcase on a last minute-trip.
Athleisure Is a Part of Her Style
Tennis skirts have been trending for a few seasons and aren’t going anywhere. Song is an avid tennis player so she wears them on and off the court. “[Marshalls] has so many cute tennis pieces,” she says. “Before, my tennis outfit was just leggings or a white skirt. But now there are so many like different colors, which makes it so fun.”
