slipping up

So...my new conquest: Chictopia.  Its one of those things that really isn't coming easily to me, I gotta admit. But its fun, and its also a great place to see how women are putting together outfits; using pieces in different and unique ways to create completely original looks. Plus, its also a great way to be exposed if you're trying to be a stylist, photographer, or just an all-around 'stylish person'. 

(And lemme' tell ya, there are 'stylish people' GALORE. Inspiration central!)

Here's a post I made recently to enter the TeenVogue Remix contest. Take one piece and use it in three unique ways - three different styles.  I chose this amazing slip I made from that scary 80's prom dress, (and ended up being the TeenVogue 'Outfit of the Day' on March 1st), and styled it in triplicate form.

My first was as a dress, plain and simple. I took a few shots with it hangin' loose, but quickly reached for a classic woven belt to give it some shape.

#2 was a businessy-classy-dancy girl outfit. Forever 21 pencil skirt with contrasting polkas and a strand of Claire's black beads. A touch of red lippy, blue suade wedges and BAM. Loved it.

#3 was more relaxed, something I'd wear for work or for a day at University. Nothing to complicated, just Forever21 skinnies and Steve Madden pumps. (ok....when in class, minus the pumps. I hate CLAAACKING into class when it's abnormally quiet...).  Add a belt above the waist and a simple gold chain and we're ready to go.

Wish me luckie luck. :) And also some luck with Chictopia..its a hard world. Hope everyone had a FAB FAB Monday and Tuesday! Cheers for the week being half over...*almost.
