Black Shimmer

Sequins and rhinestones are a few other trends that I've become fond of, they bring life to any outfit. For this top I paired up a black tee with sequins along the sides of it. Sequins are one of the few things to add to a dull black shirt to make it shimmer. If your color shy, then metallics against darks will add just the right amount of brightness to your outfit. Skinny jeans and metallic flats will look great with a top like this.

Mix & Match

Leather was really popular back in the day and you probably still see some females walking around with tight leather pants. I figured why not recycle old styles and add the new age flavor to it? Maybe those old pair of leather pants that your aunt or mom has stuffed some where deep inside her closet can come in handy one day. Yeah it may take a little begging and pleading to get her to hand them over, but if that fails you can always go to your local craft store and purchase leather or other fabric pieces there. I decided to do something a little different this time and clash unique fabrics. Why not have Mrs. Cotton and Mr. Leather pair up and who knows what look the two can bring. Surprisingly they make quite a pair. Then by adding a shiny object like a gem or jewel or maybe even an old belt or shoe buckle could make this top seem so original. And TADAH there you have it.

Purple Moonlight

 

    Hey who said the fabric clashing had to stop at leather? It can go on forever, from pairing satin with polyester, to crochet with lace. Here's a little something that I've been working on. I call this one "purple moonlight" because the shiny purple fabric seems to glisten over this black cotton t-shirt. One look and you'll go "oouu-la-la". The look is completed by added the smallest pendant, brooch, or jewel.
