STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Walking Art

March 25th, 2016 at 2:00am

Some consider art to be the fine paintings and sculptures that hang in museums. While for others, fashion is considered its own form of art. This Fashionista combined the two by wearing a painting. When she walked by, I knew I had to ask her about her outfit. Instead of the typical solid-colored leather boots, her Dr. Martens oxfords are taking things to the next level by having William Hogarth’s A Rake’s Progress on them.

Statement pieces are no longer restricted to just bold necklaces and eye-catching bags. Shoes make for a very functional and striking statement piece as well. Once you notice this Fashionista’s shoes, you will remember them—talk about leaving a mark!

Making a statement with every step she takes, this Fashionista kept the rest of her outfit classy and chic. Sticking to a monochromatic color scheme for the rest of her look, she paired a delicate blouse with classic black jeans. The small pearl earrings play up the feminine ruffled collar of her blouse. To add an extra oomph of sophistication to the outfit, she is rocking round-framed sunglasses.

This outfit is all about knowing what to emphasize. If you want the main focus of your outfit to be your rocking kicks, then don’t make the rest of your outfit a distraction. Keep it sleek and stylish so your shoes really pop!

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Go for simple styles each with their own subtle twist. If you keep your color palette basic, your statement pieces, like oxfords with a cool print, will really stand out!”
