Hello again divas! As I was browsing around one of my favorite sites - buzznet - I came across one sassy, pink-haired chick, Audrey Kitching. It seems that this sassy little fashionista has been tagged as "worst dressed" in more than one mag - Star and Cosmo! This little tidbit peaked my curiosity and so I started to click through some of her pics (check them out, she's gorgeous!). Its true, some of her fashion choices are rather...interesting, and she consistently violates one of my top fashion rules. Our girl Audrey likes to mix multiple trends all at once - sequins, animal prints and neon. Brave! I've always said mixing trends is never a bad thing, but be concious of what you mix! If you want to wear something full of sequins on top, keep the bottom neutral and pull in some neon accessories.
Of course its easy to read about the worst dressed and automatically agree, that was certainly my instinct! But after a deeper dive into Audrey's pics, I was suprised to find myself warming up to her unique style. In one set of photos she models seven spring styles and I am a fan of four of her looks. My favorite is her "fancy" dress. I'm loving anything with tiers this season and this dress is totally perfect for summer. I love that the black keeps the look mature, but the pink and red layers give it punchy personality. It wouldn't be my first choice to sport bright pink tresses, but somehow Audrey makes it work. Perhaps its that I admire her willingess to take a fashion risk , or the fact that you can totally get a sense of her personality just through her fashion. I'd totally meet her for mojitos on a Friday night - even if it's just to see what she wears!
So remember future fashionistas, before you instinctively jump on the "worst dressed" bandwagon", think of Audrey. Yes, her style is out there and she probably makes choices you wouldn't, but does that make her UN-fashionable? I'll venture off the wagon and say not necessarily. She wears what makes her happy, thats obvious, and we could all learn a lesson from her kitchy style. Think outside the box and give new ideas a chance...just be aware not to break too many rules! A colorful tiered maxi-dress might be the perfect addition to a generally drab wardrobe, but I don't recommend mixing animal prints and sequins in the same night. I say baby steps ladies...find inspiration in fashion risk-takers, but learn from their mistakes. Remember, we want you to wear what you love, as long as we don't hate it!
xoxo,
