Style Revamp

While I admire Janelle Monae's style, I decided very recently (today) that I need to dress more modest and feminine. Not that I've ever dressed like an ashawo or a man, I just felt like my wardrobe needed more lace, floral, frills, skirts, and polka dots! So I hit up the mall today and bought a ton of stuff with these rules in mind:

1. High waist/ defined waist

Belts at the waist, dresses that flair at the waist, and high waisted bottoms define your curves...and if you don't have much, it gives the illusion of an hour glass figure!

2. High Collars

There was a time when I thought cleavage was necessary, because I'm pretty short and I look really young, so it "made me look my age". But you can still look grown without them peeking out! Plus, no matter what a high collar always looks classy.

3. Knee highs/Thigh highs/Tights

I've always loved the look of thigh high socks...they're so cute! Besides that, it's a way to cover up when you feel like you're showing too much skin.

4. Pale Colors/Loose-fitting tops

These tops look so soft and feminine! While Janelle Monae (who made Vanity Fair's best dressed list!) wears black and white oh so well, I admit it can look harsh on me. Lighter colors fit me better!

Oh and side-note: Daily outfit posts will begin next week!
