fashion friday: DIY/80's

    this week’s fashion friday blog focuses on our DIY/80’s theme—this one was one of our favorites to shoot! our models did a phenomenal job, and brought some vintage pieces as well as some fun new pieces and accessories.

    the goal with the DIY/80’s theme is to bring in some personal funky flair—do it yourslef! rip things, add paint, bows, lace, belts, or take a pair of scissors to the outfit. we especially enjoyed adding color, specifically neons in any form we could have them. models came in with bright purple leggings and hot pink stretchy tops, they wore mismatched leg warmers and even turned one lime green legwarmer into a glove; it is all about creativity and having fun. 

    not only did we encounter numerous sliced, off-the shoulder sweatshirts, legwarmers, and leggings, but we also had bright neon hightop sneakers, tutus and innumerable accent pieces. don’t be afraid to add bracelets, headbands, ribbons, bows, hair clips, or seemingly obnoxious neon leggings—the right combination can make it work.            

    i have been inspired by some iconic 80’s movies—the breakfast club, 16 candles, ferris bueller’s day off,  pretty in pink—can you tell i’m a john hughes fan? (cue cheesy montage to don’t you forget about me by simple minds) i love taking the 80’s old school look and adding new pieces to make it more modern; bring the 80’s to 2010.

     take a vintage band tee, add a tutu or skirt and a pair of leggings, and tie a ribbon into your hair, then add accessories like bracelets or a glove. layer a colorful tank under an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt, add a big bow or flower headband, and pair with ripped jeans and hightops.  take a vintage-looking michael jackson-esque jacket and pair it with a long top and some crazy bright leggings—maybe add a glove and really channel mj.

    guys, take a sport coat and layer over a colorful casual tee and add a fedora. try neon sweatshirts or hoodies, white t-shirts with a neon design are always a win in our book, especially paired with distressed jeans. throw in some neon accessories, a large watch, ray ban sunglasses, or bright sneakers.

in essence, be funky, go vintage, mix & match, layer, accessorize.

puppies and tiaras!
