Winter to Summer

How do you take your favorite winter dress and wear it into summer?
Heres how!

Along with the three shirts that Rachel sent me, she also sent an extra question.
Here it is:



In case you can not read the note it says: "CHALLENGE! Can I make this dress work for a summer look? How?"


In answer to your question Rachel, Yes! It is a perfect summer night time dress with or without a pair of tights and of course a sexy pair of peep toe heels. For a summer day time look it would be great with a cute pair of sandals and a nice long necklace for a Bohemian(Boho) look. You could even add a vest to make it more casual. Here are a few pictures for some ideas. Now remember you don't have to wear all of these at once, mix and match, make it fun. Wear the ring and the vest together, or the necklace/earrings/and bracelet together. Live it up!
Here is a perfect picture to show how a vest can be worn over a cute summer dress

How do I wear that...

If you have ever asked yourself that question, about an article or two of clothing, your in the right place. I am going to feature a reader, Rachel and her own photos. I will then pull other pics to show you multiple ways to wear each item-that the reader loves but just cant seem to figure out.

Here is a picture featuring all the articles of clothing:
They are a little hard to see at this angle but before I talk about each piece of clothing I will put a closer picture, so you can better see what we are dealing with. For each piece I will completely outfit it, that way our readers can see how flexible some of their clothes actually are.

First we are going to look at the Peach t-shirt:

Its an all around basic tee with a bit of flare, nice pleating around the neck and an asymmetrical cut at the bottom. This first thing that comes into my head is that I want to get a vest to throw over it for one look next I need a wide camel colored belt. So here let me show you some pictures with ways to wear them with this beautiful top.
Belt should be worn on true waist

Shoe option one

A Scarf to add some fun

Shoe option two

A very versatile Pedal Pusher would make this outfit great for day or night

If this outfit is going to be worn day into night you can ditch the scarf, add a fun necklace and some cute wedges then you will be ready to go. Te belt can be worn with the sandals or the flats. Also notice how I used different shades of brown, your belt doesn't always have to match your shoes or bag, if they are in the same family then they are good to go.  :)

Here's item number two:
This is an Ella Moss top found at a second hand store. A great buy and can be used for work, dressing up, or even a weekend away. Here or what I think would all some flare to this amazing top.
Shoe Option One

Shoe Option Two

These Bermuda Shorts are just perfect
for fall and winter add a pair

Add a cute accent for your hair
You can do these earrings :)
This might be my favorite outfit from this article. You can wear a cute wedge or a flat and completely change the way the outfit looks. Have fun.

Next we have the white tank with an little detail near the neck:

 
For This top I think a Classic espadrille is needed. As well as a pair of khakis, the khakis are just another option other than jeans or jean shorts for this top. But of course this top would be adorable with a boyfriend sweater and a pair of jeans and a scarf tied in your hair. Maybe also some aviator sunglasses and a gold long chain necklace w/ charm, just to top off the look.






Eat, drink and be scary.

and black cats are seen,
the moon laughs and whispers,
‘tis near Halloween."

Halloween has, since I can remember, been one of my all time favorite holidays. Well, Halloween and Purim. Purim is sorta the Jewish Halloween. For Purim, you dress up, eat cookies (hamentashen) , its good times for sure.

Anyway point being, I loved to dress up an pretend to be someone else. It made me feel safe. I think its part of the reason I decided to go into acting. The idea of being someone else and not having to worry about me was so exciting.

Different was what acting actually was. I found myself diving so completely into the characters that I almost didn't exist anymore. That was my biggest hurdle when I got to college. Everything I was doing was perfect but it lacked reality. Why?
It was because of the fact that I didn't include myself in the characters that I was becoming. When I began acting I never knew that was going to be needed, if I had known perhaps I would have backed away-from the thing that changed my life. I slowly had to dive into finding me and adding me into my work.

At first it was very difficult. I felt like my reactions to things weren't right, therefore i didn't want to show people. I was completely wrong, my quirkiness, and totally off the wall way of looking at things made me desirable to the entertainment industry.

To this day I am still adding more "me" into my "character" that I face the world with. I am proud where I am as well. Acting taught me to read others emotions and react to others emotions. Without it I wouldn't be as in tune with others and myself the way I am today. And I would have a much harder time, starting and mantaining friendships and relationships.

The world has lead me in very interesting directions, but as I get older I see that they all have a purpose. My life is just as fruitful as others, I just think about it differently. I live my life as a constant Halloween. If I am worried about being uncomfortable I dress the part of someone who is confident and sexy and I play that part all night/day.
We all wear masks in our lives, all to hide something. For this reason I cant say that I am different but that we are all different, and it is how we embrace each other that matters.
