"THE OLD SWITCHEROO"

Monday, October 19, 2015

... Let's face it, we all get bored with our outfits at some point. And that's why I've decided to pull the 'ol' switch-er-oo'. I wanted to do something different but to maintain my pizzazz. Honestly, having natural hair gets really tedious to handle and a wig is the perfect solution... It's the easiest way to refresh your style. OH MY! the endless possibilities, I might be thinking of a master plan...LoL

I paired a tank top dress with men's suit jacket and added the belt for structure and a bit of flare. The jacket was too boxy and masculine to not be belted. Also to soften the look I rolled the sleeves of the jacket to a point I thought was flattering to my physique. Its all about making those small changes to coordinate the perfect look...

Leopard print heels always makes a statement .

I seriously love this photo! These boys where passing and said miss can we take a picture with you? I'm like...Totally!! I think they thought I was famous or something. But one of the sweetest moments...

I've been style stalking this girl for months! She has a very vintage style with an Afrocentric twist that is intricately put together... Somehow, it just works. I thought, damn...I have to style her!! I created a vision in my head of what I thought she would look amazing in. From the makeup, hair, right down to the accessories... The icing on the cake was her grandmothers dress. The story around that dress was just surprising. Apparently, her grandmother bought this dress in Harlem,NY some 30 years ago!!!

Here's the final look!

The dress has a simplistic charm about it. A mix between a 3/4 sleeve button down and a A-line pleated skirt. The dress originally came with a matching belt but I decided to add this gold and black metal belt to modernize the look. Her look is complete with these brown sandals.
