Nashville Fashion Week is next week!  Now if you haven’t gotten your tickets yet, don’t worry!  There are still tickets available and you can buy week passes or just pick the nights you can make it here.  So, we’ve got tickets, but what to wear?!?!?  We are all scrambling around, just like you, trying to figure out what we will wear to wow photographers and fellow attendees.  Who doesn’t want to be in a Street Fashion blog??  Here are few cute looks and tips to get you through a few nights of fashion week!

Here is a chic look any of us can do: Mix 1 part dark skinny jean with a saucy top and then slather on some sparkling, edgy necklaces and you’ve got yourself a recipe for fab!

Now if you want to look the fabulest, you must be BOLD!  Pair  graphic prints together with bright colors and you are sure to stand out all night long.
