Look of the Day: Preppy in Pink

POPSUGAR Fashion community member Rachelle pulled out all the stops with this feminine and flirty ensemble.

POPSUGAR Fashion community member Rachelle pulled out all the stops with this feminine and flirty ensemble. Pink and black always look great together, and this checkered blouse added a pop of color without being too bright. A black skirt adorned with a large bow was a chic statement-maker, while a gold chain bracelet and a small gold bow necklace were cute minimalist additions to this sophisticated look. The ankle-strap heels elongated her legs — especially when worn with an above-the-knee-length skirt.

Congrats, Rachelle!

Style SOS: How to Battle Oil Stains and Win

Let's just cut to the chase — oil stains don't have to be the death knell of your soiled clothes.

Let's just cut to the chase — oil stains don't have to be the death knell of your soiled clothes. In fact, it's pretty easy to rid those pesky grease spots from your favorite tees and jeans with our quick five-step SOS drill. Just remember: at the moment of stain disaster, try not to panic, don't despair, and definitely avoid rubbing at the stain. Do those three things at the outset and you're already off to a running start. We promise, there's life after olive oil spillage and butter-related crimes, and our tips below will not only help you combat those oil stains, they'll lead you straight to stain removal victory.

  1. Pre-pretreat it. Before the real battle begins, cover the stain with cornstarch and let it soak for at least 30 minutes. Then, simply shake off the excess powder before heading to step two.
  2. Shout it out. There's a reason why this brand has become a household name — Shout is awesome. It literally saves (clothes') lives. In regards to oil stains, you want to spray the area with a solvent-based stain remover, like Shout Advanced Stain Remover Trigger Spray ($5), and gently blot.

Look of the Day: Perfecting Patterns

POPSUGAR Fashion community member House Of Jeffers donned a fun combination of plaid and stripes here.

POPSUGAR Fashion community member House Of Jeffers donned a fun combination of plaid and stripes here. The tank top's skinny black and white stripes aren't too bold or attention-grabbing, as the blue, pink, and purple plaid skirt acted as the main focus in this cute look. The skirt's high-waisted silhouette and flare fit were feminine, while the strappy black wedges added the perfect touch of solid to an otherwise printed outfit. Simple jewelry additions and a striped bag to match the top rounded it all out.

Congrats, House Of Jeffers!

Look of the Day: The Trench

Rain or shine, nothing says polished like a classic trench coat.

Rain or shine, nothing says polished like a classic trench coat. POPSUGAR Fashion community member Jackie Giardina sported a sleek and sophisticated look with this end-of-Spring outfit. A simple black dress jacketed with a classic tan trench coat is chic, but those strappy black statement sandals added an instant coolness. A chunky bracelet and ring were just the right the right kind of glitz, and a large black tote and oversize sunglasses were the perfect complements to the clean-cut look.

Congrats, Jackie Giardina!

Look of the Day: Wild West

POPSUGAR Fashion community member NewbornFanatic proved that cowboy boots can truly be "anytime" boots with this funky Western look.

POPSUGAR Fashion community member NewbornFanatic proved that cowboy boots can truly be "anytime" boots with this funky Western look. The bold grunge t-shirt made the outfit a little less ranch and a little more rock 'n' roll, while its tucked-in styling and a skinny brown belt added a bit of polish. The beige skirt's layered tassels supplied the texture and playfulness to this Western look. Finish it off with a pair of classic brown cowboy boots, and you're set to go.

Congrats, NewbornFanatic!
