Fashion Show

Hello All :)

Tomorrow, Friday the 21st, I will be working at the Envision Artopia Fall fashion show at the Graves 601 Hotel. All week I have been having a hard time deciding on what I want to wear. After picking over all of the garments I own, I've narrowed it down to my new Skater Skirt I just purchased anddddddd... that's all. lol I can't seem to figure out what sort of top I want to pair with my skirt. I decided to browse the web a little for some inspiration and came across a few ideas with the help of thejessjournals.blogspot.com ! She shows several different ways to sport the skater look and she did a great job. Here are some of the ideas I'm considering :)

Look idea 1 : A detailed blouse, very girly, accent color with a bold belt and a cute wedge!

Look idea 2: Striped crewneck, thick belt and a simple flat shoe! I love crossbody bags so im sure I'll have one on.

Look idea 3: You can never go wrong with a jacket/blazer, a cute bootie and striking clutch :)

Angela Simmons is a favorite go-to gal of mine. I love to see what she is wearing, who she is wearing and how she is rocking it! When I seen her spotted in this $120 VON VONNI VICTORIA TRANSFORMER DRESS I got all gaga. She looks [A]mazing!! I also love how she got creative with the dress. For those of you who are not familiar with this sweet number, you can transform this dress into any neckline you desire, I'll provide a video so you can check it out.

Meet Neal,

 

 

My stylish Virgo buddy!

 

I wanted to feature him on my blog because he is always on point with his fashion, he keeps it fun and makes it look so effortless!

 

 

 

Q: Is there any inspiration behind the way you dress?
A: A lot of my inspiration comes from everyday concepts and featured styles; I like to take what I see on a day to day basis and add my own twist to it.


Q: What are your favorite fall colors to wear?

A: I like to mimic the season and wear richer colors during the fall, so a lot of browns and other earth tones.

Q: Do you like to play with different patterns?

 A: I'm more into mixing textures up, patterns can be a hit or miss but textures as long as you coordinate properly will generally pull a look together.

Q: What are some of your fashion tips you can share with the fellas?

A: Balance is pretty much what pulls our outfits together, we usually don't have as many choices as women when it comes to fashion so our best ally is balance. What you wear shouldn't fall to any extreme, (ie too tight or too loose, too flashy too dull) your look should compliment everything as a whole.
