Good Morning, Friends!!!
It's a Sunday Morning and have not been able to sleep. I hope I do get an opportunity to thoroughly rest during the day. I would not want to start a week with a tired body. A week can be very long. Would never survive until next Friday.
Insomnia is a bitch. Excuse my language :)
It is Curves Around the World post - the theme this week is Feminine meets Masculine. This means I need to create one outfit with elements from both feminine and masculine world. To simplify this more for you: it means - I am suppose to wear what I usually wear as a lady but add a masculine piece in the mix as part of the outfit. It doesn't matter what I decide to throw in: it could be a shirt, blazer, boots etc from the men's world.
So, my translation for this theme is: I decided to choose one piece, a classic plaid vintage dress as a focus. Moreover, I created two outfits to show you how I'd usually wear this dress as a lady that I am, lol. I dressed it up with heels, belted and buttoned it up. It really is a beautiful outfit.
For what was required for this challenge: I added a stoned wash denim vest on top of this dress, chain neckpiece, replaced heels with dr martens boots and added a hat to spice things up. As you can see: I did not only wear one masculine piece. I decided to wear more pieces to take this outfit to the streets. This ensemble has 80's Rock flair, Grunge finesse and every tinge of style men are associated with.
I look like an artist y'all - attending a music festival - lol. I look amazing if I were to compliment myself :) Agree, agree? Am sure you do :)
Looking at both outfits - id consider choosing the second one: because it is more comfortable, accessible and more of my daily style. Comfort comes first but I ensure I clean up nicely and remain stylish overall.
Which one is your favourite? How would you have dressed up or down this amazing vintage dress with man pieces added? Did I do justice transforming this item to a different style from the classic look with heels? Please respond to these questions, I like hearing from you. Your feedback is highly valued. I also need to learn from you.
Lets share ideas. Thanks :)
