Bringing Badass to Casual and Classy, Alike

Here are a few more, with a new, more concise way of being put together that I'm trying.  More of a full outfit, without so many options.  A little less confusing, I hope! And a few might even have my name on them.  I'm trying to make them more....what, efficient maybe? I don't know.  Just trying it out.  I might need this to look more professional someday?  Most likely not though.  I've been headed in a different career direction lately. Makeup Artist! Who would've thought!?  Anyway, here's some more of my latest collages.

Heres a casual one, more on the badassery side, which I tend to prefer.  Greys and blacks are my favorite for some reason....They just are.  I got to play with some interesting jewelry here that I just LOVED, and the idea of necklace stacking, which was hard to show but hopefully people can use their imagination.  And I'm just in love with that leather satchel. Just Delicious. 

So this one, I'm not as sure about.  I was trying to think of a scenario, of say, a fancy artshow in Downtown Portland, or some kind of event, where I would need to look a bit more dressed up, but would still have plenty of room to show personality. I was also trying to combine feminine classy with hard-rock personality, something that doesn't usually meet.  I feel like it would've come together more if I'd including a model with hair and makeup to complete the whole look.  Its so hard to put the whole outfit into perspective when its forced to be in bits and pieces like this.  Looking back I might've messed with the proportions a bit, to help with perspective.  Oh well, is what it is! I can always go back later I guess, but I rarely have the patience too.

 

 This one is a "Summertime Badass" type deal, with more black and leather than the usual summer outfit idea.Glossy raven feathers in the jewelry, Black longsleeves but mesh and lightweight and airy.  Added one of those Galaxy printed pieces that are so popular nowadays. I love space, so I don't mind that trend at all, if its done right.  I figured this is nice and different. A summer evening with friends, going to a local band's concert or such.  Hanging out in the depths of youth and nighttime and endless possibilities.  I love it.  I'd most likely wear it, if it looked flattering on me. Maybe I'll find something like this to try, and see if it would. Thats one reason I make these.
