STYLE GURU STYLE: Little Black Dress

April 21st, 2015 at 2:00am

Every morning is the same: I start off by brushing my teeth, eat some breakfast and do my makeup, but everything slows down when it comes time to choose my outfit for the day. Usually I’ll try on several pairs of clothing before matching together the perfect outfit. However, after seeing Maison Margiela’s spring 2015 collection I was inspired with dozens of outfit ideas I didn’t even have to think twice about.

This collection’s goal was to reinvent the way familiar and everyday vintage looks appear to the public. Margiela aimed to do this in a minimalistic way by incorporating basic color schemes such as black and white. It featured ragged stockings, asymmetric tails on the jackets and even trash-looking materials on small items; although in the end it created a unique and beautiful spring collection.

I decided to try out a look for myself. I decided to go with one of the all-black outfits. I paired a black flowy dress with silver sparkle heels and added my own touch of pearl earrings and red lipstick. What I liked most about this look was its formal and classy look. It’s the perfect outfit for a date or a work party.

By looking at fashion shows and collections you can easily cut down your “getting ready” time by trying to recreate a runway look! Add your own personal and unique touch by adding your favorite jewelry or accessories to the outfit.

Get My look: 1. A black dress with jewels 2. Silver heels 3. Pearl earrings.
