My Style: Babydoll Grunge

Today's Look:  was photographed during one of my most memorable photo shoots ever.  I am currently visiting my brother Billy in Los Angeles, California, and we always have such a blast working together.  Billy is a professional photographer and I always enjoy being his model to test out new techniques and bounce ideas off one another.  For this shoot, both of us were inspired by the babydoll plaid dress to try a more grunge/hipster approach and setting to the photos.  I styled the dress with one of my favorite pair of Steve Madden chunky buckle boots and, ironically, socks I was gifted from a past Valentine's Day and thought I'd never wear.  I love how the hearts and ruffles on the socks made the somewhat BA boots more feminine.  I accessorized with multiple necklaces, a couple of rings, my fav wide brimmed hat, and metal-lace rimmed sunglasses.

Outfit Details:  Dress by Audrey from Basement Marketplace | Boots by Steve Madden at 6pm.com | Hat from oasap.com | Layered Necklace by Lucky Brand from Dillard's | Clock Necklace from Urban Outfitters | Silver Ring from Forever 21 | Black Stone Ring from Maurices | Lipstick from Avon | Nails by Impress | Sunglasses by Style Vault from Amazon.com | Socks were a Valentine's Day gift

Fashion Tip:  Ruffled or girly socks worn with chunky black ankle boots create a stunning pair that stands out, elevating you to immediate trendsetter status.

My Style: Pop of Plaid

Today's Look:  shows how to take a monochromatic outfit and transform it into a perfect 90's grunge ensemble by adding a pop of plaid.  First, I chose the black top from Blush Boutique.  The crop top has a simple tank top look in the front while the back features a cute heart cutout.  I love how the unique back makes the top feminine and sexy.  Next, I chose a black bodycon skirt and edgy heels.  Adding some tomboy to the look, I tied a red plaid shirt around my waist and matched it with some red hot lipstick.  Finishing off the look, I accessorized with gold and black dangling earrings, a gold cuff, multiples rings, and a gold cellphone case from Clique Shops.  For my readers in high school, I hope you all had a blast or are going to have a blast at prom!  I always love seeing the dresses every year.  As for me, I have one last final exam to trudge through tomorrow and then it is summer vacation!  Xoxo, Shelly
