Love, Always
As much as I love ultra-feminine ensembles, I have a definite edgy side to my wardrobe that comes out far more often. Here is a blogging confession for you from which I learned a valuable lesson as far as my personal image is concerned: the first time I photographed this outfit it did NOT turn out. In take one I was wearing over-sized sunglasses, my bf cargos, loafers, and a side braid. When I went to photo edit I realized I looked more like the leader of a 90's grunge tribute band than anything else. SO, I am sharing this amusing failure with you to suggest that to keep an edgier outfit in feminine borders add a heel, make sure your makeup is fun, soften up your hair, avoid volume on your bottom if you're layering up top. If at first you don't succeed, put on a push up bra and a red lip and it will probably work haha.
Second, and best of all, it is GIVEAWAY time. In this post I am wearing jewelry all from Love, Always Couture by Stephanie Diaz.

This look is so cute and effortless (eventhough it required some effort to put it together hehe). I love the Love Always collection and my favorite is the yellow gold spike bangle so that's the piece I would pick if I won. Crossing my fingers!

ReplyDeleteHaha your little comment at the end about the pushup bra and red lip makes me laugh! I agree with you though - I like edgy too, but sometimes it's good to balance it out with more feminine pieces, whether through heels or makeup. I can definitely see it in this look; your soft makeup balanced with the tough leather jacket! You look super cute in a beanie too!
