the everyday woman
Hi, my name is Milica. I am the creator of Made of Starlight. It is a fashion and lifestyle destination for “the everyday woman”. She feels comfortable in her own skin. I am very passionate about fashion and putting the outfits together. So this blog is where I document my adventures in fashion, style and travel. I believe that we don’t need to spend a lot of money to look good. However, once in a while I invest on designer pieces, like bags and shoes. I do it because I know I will wear them for many seasons.

Summer is here, so we can finally warmly embrace the biggest fashion trends of 2016. It’s no surprise that the off-the-shoulder top may be the number one piece. You need it in your wardrobe this summer. It’s sexy, chic and not too attention-grabbing. Chokers are having a moment too. I’m also wearing a lot of denim this summer. It includes shorts, skirts, overalls, dresses and rompers. You name it, I wear it. Moreover I’m big on lace this season too. 70’s style is also one of a big trends. So I really enjoy wearing wide leg trousers and denim bell bottoms a lot.

Milica Momcilovic’s summer tips: a short summary
Momcilovic’s approach rests on the idea that you do not need to spend a lot of money to look good. She suggests investing only occasionally in pieces such as bags and shoes that will be used for many years. The pieces she highlights for summer 2016 include off-the-shoulder tops and chokers. Plenty of denim also stands out, in the form of shorts, skirts, overalls and dresses. Lace and 70s-inspired wide-leg trousers are on the list as well.
The off-the-shoulder neckline is a cut similar to the boat neck, but it sits below the shoulders and collarbone. You can find details of neckline types in Wikipedia’s neckline entry. Another blogger, like Milica Momcilovic, also shares summer outfits: take a look at Fernanda Zorzal’s summer outfits.
