Happy Thursday everyone! Today I decided to post a late night post (hence the night time photoshoot.) I don't normally do Throw Back Thursdays. However, I wanted to share with you my first photoshoot as a Fashion Blogger. On this day, I was being my usual self. (Attending work and immediately traveling to attend an event.) Since I knew that I was going out later that evening, I put together an outfit that would seamlessly transition from day to night.
I am a person who loves color! Many people are afraid to experiment with color. However, I'm not! I actually bask in my opportunity to play with color through my outfits. Sometimes, I put colors together and it looks fabulous. Other times, I would have to check myself and say "Woman, Is this the best color combination?...Nah." I just have to laugh at myself because I can be a little crazy! Fortunately, this doesn't happen often.
For this outfit, I used a blue color combination with pink as my pop of color. I paired light blue jeans, a sleeveless white shirt, with a studded navy blue open front tunic. The studded details on this tunic really made this outfit make a statement.
To enhance the details of the studded tunic, I complimented it with silver tone accessories. I echoed the silver tone throughout my earring, chains, bracelet, and wristlet. By doing this, I created a truly completed look. However, you must be careful when accessorizing garments that are made with embellishments. The amount of embellishments that the garment is created with, will determine the type of accessories that you will use. For this outfit, I went for a layered look with a clean and simple design. I especially kept this in mind with my chains and bracelet.
If I had chosen a highly detailed chain and bracelet, it would of made my outfit look too "busy" giving the impression that my outfit had too much going on. Since, I keep my accessories simple there were an equal balance visually.
Thank you for reading today's post and tips for accessorizing garments with embellishments. Have a wonderful weekend!
Xoxo,
