There are times when I don’t always know what to write about these outfits that I come up with.
Angle: I’m wearing all black in the summer. Just like I do at any other time of the year. Black is chic, it’s a go to, and covers a multitude of sins.
Angle: This outfit was inspired by an outfit I saw in an editorial shoot. And I believe strongly in everyday editorial. I love the drama. The contrast of the (partially) flowing top and the wide legs. And it doesn’t hurt that both pieces have cut outs (these slits and the shoulder to say the least!)
Angle: All black with cutouts may not be the best outfit for your 9-5. This look may be best for your fancy parties. Though you know me, and I say why not make any day a fancy day. BUT. You could take these pieces apart and make them more work appropriate. Slit pants with a blouse. Put a tank under a cropped shirt.
Angle: I’ve had this top for a while. I realize I come up with outfits to wear it, but tend to only where it in pictures. Why? I get nervous about showing my stomach in real life. These pictures are not photoshopped (none of mine are). And there are some I wouldn’t show you as I was moving and my skin didn’t look “perfect”. Can we, as women, admit that we have skin and our bodies move? Is it ok to wear things that make you a little nervous. I had an acting coach once tell me that one way to get an audience to fall in love with you is to show them your vulnerabilities. Does that apply in fashion?
See, it’s all angles.
(Maybe the best angles: when wearing a top like this, stand up straight. It’s an important angle.)
It’s all angles.
The take on outfit. Where you can where it. The posture. Your attitude about it.
Another confession? I was never amazing at geometry. I could always get the big picture (aka solve the proof) but couldn’t always list the theorems that got me there (micro isn’t always my thing). But angles? Angles like these I can get- big and small.
Another angle? Maybe this is the summer we let go of all our angles and wear what makes us happy (even if our stomachs don’t always look perfect)?
I’ve linked some similar items for your angles below–what’s your take on them?
