Contrasting

     Many people are afraid of contrasting.... Some of you may ask, what exactly is contrasting... There are many meanings behind the word contrasting, but in this case it is mixing prints in it's extremity. This beautiful Topshop blouse I am wearing is a creme sheer blouse with black peacots...Very feminine and draped in all the right places, and it is paired with these black and grey harem pants by Religion. Together these two are a work of art. Uhhhh, three that is lol!

Lacora in Jeans?

    Whenever people see me in jeans they are always amazed, why? because majority of my wardrobe is anything other than jeans. I will wear sweatpants before I will consider wearing  jeans....But in this case these jeans were a must have. With no give and fitting exactly how the body is shaped, they hug and require extreme force when putting them on lol! The designer brand is Acne and this style is called needle print which specializes in slender fits, really tapered to the body. Although you can't tell from these photos but these jeans are high waisted kissing the navel. I wore this with a grey silk blouse which maintains a sleek silhouette. To top it off is the bag and the shoes...Let's start with the bag which is a leather saddle bag that is unique and one of a kind. With two fringe straps dangling on each side and braided along the perimeter of the bag and it is slanted on the outside as well as the inside....Cool huh? Then there is the shoes...As I was walking down the street heading to work heads began turning and then the compliments started to pour out....These shoes are made of leather and braided wicker...Talk about textures that compliment each other....Well if you think about it everything and everyone complimented this outfit lol.

Gothica

     Gothic doesn't necessarily mean that you have to wear all black. I felt that I would add a little dimension with the sheer pants under this dress.. Some would probably wear this by itself but what the hell. Why not make your style stand out and speak so many words... The bottom of this dress is angled and most garments that are like this usually reflects one of the Gothic era besides it's trademark color "black"... The shoulders of this dress is angled to draw attention to the details of the neck and head area with it's micro collar....see? take a look.

Free

  Draped fabrics make it very easy for me to function. Sometimes you don't need garments to be so snug to the body to feel exotic and sexy... First and foremost that type of confidence should come from within anyway... So if you lack that you have a lot to work on....it doesn't happen over night BUT it most happen at some point in time. Work on your inner BEAUTY and then watch the surface of your skin glow... Glow like it has never glowed before. Trust and believe.

African Henges

    Even though the rain came down as hard as it could on this day that didn't stop me from shooting.... My Mother always said that I was the most persistent out of all of her children. So here is what I wanted to photograph........

 

Simple and Usual

I always recommend wardrobe pieces that will give you a boost out the door.....and this jumper was one of those pieces added with a touch of comfort.

As I Wait......

  I once waited for spring to bloom and now since fall is right around the corner I guess I have no choice but to prepare myself for what is yet to come.......

 The shoes compliment the bag, not by color but by what they both consist of which is leather and canvas. The tights add more of a balance between the blazer, knitted tank and the bag. While the shoes and the bag match in textures, the blazer and the tank match in color and the glasses pairs itself with everything this outfit consist of.
