yes, i realize it's saturday. and if i'm being totally honest here (because i'm not a big fan of guilt), this was supposed to be posted LAST friday. as in EIGHT days ago.
OOPS.
so as a little lead in, i'm going to introduce kassy - our newest member of the team at 3 girls photography (*cheers* *clapping* *excited whistles*). YAY!! she's all of about 3 feet tall (okay, maybe a WEE bit taller...) and as spunky as i am (if not spunkier). good golly that's a cute word. 'spunky'. :-)
she's also CRAZY about fashion. yep - even more so than i am.
so i thought it would be a great idea for kassy to take on a weekly blog post for us - fashion friday! what i forgot to tell her is how horrible i am at keeping the blog updated, so i think i'll let her make the posts herself from now on...
so without further ado... here it is - our first fashion friday blog post!!! (*more whistles and cheers* *fans going crazy*)
it's our first official fashion friday here at 3 girls, and we are super excited to share the news of our upcoming FASHION SHOW!!!!!
Lights. Camera. Fashion! is in it's 4th year as the most incredible event on the planet. and for the 2nd year in a row we are teaming up with Mothers Against Drunk Driving to bring edmond and the surrounding communities a look at what's coming up in fashion and style from the big city! this year's show will be the hottest event of the season with four main themes on the runway: Galaxy, Americana, Enchanted, and 80's/DIY.
mark your calendars!! on thursday, april 29th, the UCO ballrooms will be transformed into a high fashion runway, and YOU are invited to join us and see what's headed our way in fashion!
in preparation for the festivities, we are going to introduce the main themes and styles of the season, and how they can be incorporated into personal style to help seniors express themselves (and the rest of us too!). this week, we are tackling the Americana theme.
what, exactly, IS Americana? we like to define Americana as a clean look, with fun fabric, oftentimes patriotic colors, gingham patterns, classic silhouettes, and prep-school style with trendy details.
the goal: simple, classic, but never boring. think along the lines of Gap, and J Crew, with statement jewelry and accessories.
for example, a simple spring style for girls: a high-waisted, elastic waistband skirt paired with a sleeveless ruffled tank and solid (but bold) colored cardigan. throw a skinny belt over the un-buttoned cardigan, add a chunky, fun, long necklace, basic earrings, a few bangle bracelets, and ballet flats and you have created a perfect look! other pieces to build an outfit around: vests, khaki shorts, long necklaces, men's neckties as belts, flowy tops, tunics, tailored blazers, 'boyfriend' sweaters, and oxfords. don't shy away from gingham patterns, plaids, patriotic colors or nautical patterns and cuts.
for the guys: clean lines, khaki or dark jeans, boat shoes, a striped rugby or bold gingham or plaid oxford. try fitted jackets, sweaters or shirts in navy, red and white. the Americana look is all about the casual, tailored look and creating a sophisticated yet laid back silhouette.
next week's theme: 80's/DIY (OH YEAH!!!)
til next time...
peace and popsicles -
jen, michele, julie and kassy :-)
