Reinventing the look #1

Reinventing the look #1: The party-goer…

Hello friends! Today is the last day of my Reinventing the Look challenge. As many of you are aware, I started this challenge last Sunday and so far I have created four different outfits using the same black lace top (I am sure the black lace top is ready for a long break in my closet:-)). I wanted to show you all the possibilities that one single statement piece can give you so that you go ahead, get inspired and do the same. Not only would you end up with a more versatile wardrobe but you will enjoy getting creative and also will end up having lots of fun. For today’s fifth and last outfit, I paired the black lace top with a pair of high-waisted dress shorts. I wanted to create a look that was cool and fun yet sophisticated enough for an evening outing with the girls or a date with your loved one. I named this look “The Party Goer”. To add a touch of sass, I added a solid gold belt and a pair of strappy high heels. The bright pink clutch adds the right amount of color so that you don’t go unnoticed. I hope you all enjoyed this challenge as much as I did trying to come up with all the different looks. It was actually fun and very exciting. Sometimes you don’t realize all your possibilities until you give it a try:-) This applies to everything else in life, not only clothing. Have a blessed night my friends. As always, my love and blessings to you all. Ms. Jeannie.

The outfits I put together are for your inspiration and you may be able to find similar pieces in your closet to achieve the look.   However, to provide you with more options, I have included below the links to the same or similar pieces in case you are interested.

Reinventing the look # 1: The risk taker…

Hello everyone! As I mentioned on yesterday’s post, this week I am taking on the challenge to put together five different looks incorporating the same black lace top in all of them.  For today’s outfit, I opted  to do something different and unexpected.  I paired the black lace top with a floral flared skirt.  I decided to call this look “The Risk Taker”. Why?  Because to be honest with you, I wouldn’t  normally mix two different patterns when it comes to pairing two major pieces of clothing like the top and a skirt .   At first, I wasn’t sure about the idea but then it kind of grew on me.  This is why I called it ‘The Risk Taker” look.  The key to doing this successfully is to keep one of the two patterns  on the smaller side of the scale.  Meaning that, if you are going to use a bold flowered pattern on the bottom (like I did today) then you may want to keep the pattern of the top or blouse subtle and understated. Also, the combined color scheme of the outfit has to flow.  There has to be a common color denominator, if you know what I mean. The skirt I am wearing was custom made by my talented friend, Silvia Helena (thank you so much Silvia!).  I finished my look with black gladiator heels, a bold aqua blue necklace and a small black wristlet bag.  Hope you all enjoy this post and again, stay tuned to see more of the “Reinventing the Look” challenge this week.  Blessings and sweet dreams to you all! Love, Ms. Jeannie:-)
