Guy's Celebrity Style: The Cuffed Pant

Here's a look that I'm growing more and more fond of: the cuffed pant. It shows off those cool new shoes you just got, and can be done with almost any kind of look. And although I'm seeing this mostly for men, there's no reason it isn't translatable into women's wear too (think boyfriend jeans).

I couldn't post about the beauty of the cuffed pant without giving a nod to the king of the cuff- Pharrell.

Pharrell cuffs his pants up ultra high with boots and polka dots!

Cuffed pants with casual sneaks and a sweatshirt. Oh and Miley Cyrus!

And last but not least, Pharrell even cuffs his pants in a suit.

Anyone can be a little rough around the edges

No one can tear you down

Not in these shoes

Masculine Femininity

The inspiration for this shoot was menswear.
Women have the ultimate power of fashion. We can wear anything we please, or nothing at all, and still find a way to be sexy.
For these looks I dressed in menswear, or masculine womenswear to show that confidence is the sexiest thing a woman can wear.
As with any artistic project, it took on a life of its own, and luckily I'm happy with what this shoot became.
Now I'll let you be the judge.

Girl At The Rock Show- Eagles and Aliens at El Corazon

It was a Friday. My boyfriend and I went to Seattle to see Eagles and Aliens play. El Corazon was the venue. Vintage was the look. 

Eagles and Aliens were excellent, even though it was their first show playing as a three piece. I was excited to take home their CD which hasn't left my car stereo yet, even though it only has 3 tracks. Seattle's reputation for music acts like Nirvana and Pearl Jam give every local band an ego boost, so it was nice to see a group that was not only good, but actually in it for the music. Raw passion was exuded throughout their set and spread like a contagious virus. Very inspiring. 

My terrible fan girl photo of the band.

I love collage. Reminds me of getting dressed. Combination of independent pieces to create something else.  My favorite art form.

Turn the lights down low. Let's do this.

El Corazon's wonderful logo.

Matte Black with chrome accents. Like leather and chains. Sexy at night. 

On the way to the venue. My first attempt at victory rolls. I'll try again and post when I perfect  it ;)

A padlock as an accessory. Superdig!

The 3D collage by the entrance. 

Love this. Great front and back shirt idea, huh?

Just a reminder: step up or you'll trip.

About the looks:

Warm sunny days in Seattle are treasured. This weekend was so nice it literally made national news. Finally I had a chance to wear a sundress and not freeze in a dress at night. I matched during the day by pairing coral shoes with my coral dress, and gold rings with a gold peter pan collar necklace. At night I went a different route. I paired a fuchsia dress with neon yellow. My shoes were leopard and neon with a red heel and I accented them with a neon clutch. Since the dress was loose fitted I chose an oversize blazer as my jacket. The loose dress and jacket worked well with the strappy shoes and lots of leg.

Daytime Look:

-coral wedges from Ross

-coral/tribal dress and skull ring from Burlington Coat Factory

-gold collar necklace from H&M

-gold/crystal ring from Forever 21

-sunglasses from GAP

Ain't Nothin but a Gangsta Party-Outfit and Makeup

Last weekend I had a few people over for some drinks. As a host I had to wear something awesome, but I also wanted to be comfortable. This is where sexy style meets the thug life.

Outfit:

Tupac/ Snoop Dogg muscle tee, a beer and my cat. 

Garter belt + thigh high stockings + DIY cutoff shorts.
And beautiful laughing Steph.

Classic black Chucks and a beer.

The muscle tee was originally a men's tee from Spencer's. I cut off the sleeves. 

The garter belt came from a Halloween store.

Chucks are from the kids section at Ross (size 5 in kids is the same as a 7.5 in women's)

Shorts were originally from Wet Seal. I cut them off, sprayed them with bleach, and then soaked them in coffee.

Thigh high stockings were clearance at Burlington Coat Factory.

Makeup:

For my makeup I did a dark smokey eye with a gold lid. I know my outfit was mostly black but gold seemed right for my outfit's theme. 

I hope this post inspires you to mix the sexy look of  garters with the edgy look of sneakers and a muscle tee.

Thanks for reading!
