Women’s Fashion

A Whole Lot Of Lace

It is rare that I come across a single item, so show stopping as this overlay, but today I was lucky. This young woman wears a scalloped lace, maxi overlay, with three quarter sleeves and a lace ruffle around the neck. Underneath the black lace lies a simple, skintight slip keeping her covered. The leather belt with caramel colored details, gathers the fabric at the waist creating a nice ripple effect, while thinning out her waistline. Her tribal print, lace-up booties are another beautiful addition to this ensemble, standing out below the lace. The tribal-style, coral necklace is a contrasting decoration to the lace neckline that gives the outfit a little more personality.

Peace & Colors

Color is always fun, and this young woman sure has a lot of it. The neon green tank, with a multicolored Miami Beach logo, has a swooping neck and low armholes, revealing a halter bra underneath. The faded cutoff jean shorts are held in place with a studded leather belt, that goes well with the black leather, multi-strap boots. There is an interesting dynamic between the high boots and the short jean cutoffs. Her leather handbag, with its multicolored leather patchwork, sets the bar for the rest of her accessories and is complimented nicely by the set of bangles on her wrist. The chain of feathers in her ear encompasses all the colors of the tank, and stands out against her long black hair and natural colored makeup.

Shades Of Grey & Nude

This young brunette is very well put together. Her sense of style is ageless, yet hip. The white top with its layered power shoulders creates a strong silhouette and the grey ascot adds a dash of elegance to the neckline. The shirt transitions, almost unnoticeably, into her extremely light grey skinny jeans. The nude kitten heel pumps are relatively easy to walk in, while still helping to shape her legs. The fringed leather messenger bag, matches the shoes perfectly, and comes to life with every step.

High Waist & Crop Top

This young lady looks like a star as she crosses Lafayette St. in SoHo. Her style is elegant but fun, using bright colors and crocheted patterns. The red, high-waisted pants are not form fitting, but the belted waist and pleats help to accentuate an hourglass silhouette. The pants’ bold red coloring is perfectly complimented by the bright yellow python print flats. The white open crochet crop top has a classic look to it, but allows for a sliver of midriff to show underneath its scalloped hemline. The open weave shoulder bag fits in perfectly with the color and design of the top, while the large ivory sunglasses match her pearl ring.

Modern In Black & White

This young woman plays with today’s trends to create a classically colored outfit. The white cotton tank is perfect for these summer months; its light color and airy construction make it easy to wear. The tank is tucked into a black lace maxi, creating a bold waistline. The lace has a floral and heart design, and the solid mini skirt underneath keeps it airy and appropriate. Her black toe loop, gladiator sandals are a great addition to this outfit and go well with her leather backpack. The silver, nail head cuff around her bicep is a fun and stylish accent, while the blood red manicure and pedicure adds a little color to this monochromatic outfit.

Cat Eyes & Ink

I found this young woman sitting on a stoop in SoHo. She has an elegant style, but there is a rebellious air about her, maybe it’s the tattoos. The sheer, cream-colored blouse with its white polka dots is a very classic piece, yet the rolled sleeves reveal a lion rampant tattooed cuff on her wrist. The black jeggings she is wearing also have a classic color with a modern construction. The tan wedge sandals go very well with the shirt, and allow her to show off her metallic blue pedicure. The swooping bangs of her up-do help to frame her piercing blue eyes accentuated by the cat eye eyeliner.

A Little Splish & A Big Splash

In New York City there are only so many places you can go to stay cool on these hot Summer days. The Washington Square fountain is one of those places, and today it was packed. This young woman is having a blast, dipping her feet in the refreshing water, while remaining cautious about the trim of her dress. The tank maxi dress is adorned with an abstract design that matches her expression perfectly. The side braided ponytail and neon trimmed wayfarers do a fantastic job of accentuating her youthful and joyous disposition.

The Dagger’s Edge

The pairing of black and white is a classic and creates a clean and elegant look. This young woman wears a collarless, white button down blouse. The placket of the blouse is adorned with a simple black trim, defining it and tying it into the black mini skirt. The strong contrast between the two pieces creates bold lines, and accentuates the hips where the two colors meet. The beige, silver-studded, gladiator sandals are a nice, airy touch perfect for summer. The studs match the amazing earrings, which add an “edge” to this outfit.

A Patriotic Outfit For The Fourth Of July

Summer is the perfect time to play around with your colors. This young lady puts together a very patriotic outfit using shades of red, white and blue. The light blue tank is a very calming color, and helps to pop the orange beaded necklace draped in front of it. The jersey midi skirt has stripes of red and white, just like the American flag. The wide, woven belt creates a strong barrier between the tank and the skirt, and goes well with the woven tote. The tote just screams “beach,” especially when worn with the teal t-strap sandals and large sunglasses.

Layered Lace

Lace is both attractive and elegant. This young woman takes advantage of its design to create a layered, yet airy top. The copper halter bra stands out perfectly between the two cap sleeves of the black, cropped shirt. The designs of both items are so similar they look as though they are a single entity. The scalloped edges of the garments also create a pleasant design when contrasting with her skin tone. The wide waistband of her khaki shorts leaves a sliver of midriff and is adorned with a fabric belt tied in a bow. The black, chunk heel booties have a bit of an edgy look, while helping to tone her legs.
