My City in Color

Unfortunately it is time to face reality: summer is ending. But while it lasts, I'm going to wear bright colors.  For this look I wanted to create an assortment of color, without overdoing it. The key to this look was femininity. I chose a soft turquoise skirt with an ombre fade, and paired it with a floral headpiece and pink lipstick. What's more girly than that? For a little bit of edge I added neon heels and a leopard print bra to show through under the sheer black shirt. It is a little dangerous to pair a sheer skirt with a sheer shirt, but the look I wanted was soft and sweet.

Blackmilk in the Sun

This look was inspired by the Mechanical Bones Leggings in White by Blackmilk Clothing. The easiest way to wear printed leggings is with a solid color top, since print mixing is a difficult skill. I paired my leggings with a faux leather peplum top for a hardcore look, and added Jeffrey Campbell buckle Litas to make it extra badass. For my accessories I chose skeleton pieces: a bone bracelet from Hot Topic, a few plastic bangles. and a hair clip made by gluing a plastic skeleton hand (found in my mom's basement) to a pin curl clip. The rest was up to Sacha of Shuttereye Images.

Urban Doll

Part I. Fade to Black

Part II, Doll of the Night

Embrace the grime and let your spikes show

Anyone can be a little rough around the edges

After all, you're headed to the top girl

No one can tear you down

Not in these shoes
