Rainy Twilight Photoshoot

For this photo-shoot we found odd pieces that wouldn't usually be part of a fashionable outfit, and made a quirky look out of them. This shoot is full of overly puffy coats, parachute shirts, bath robes, and shimmery pants. 

I found this shirt while searching through the racks of Salvation Army for a good Halloween costume. I don't know if I planned on wearing it for everyday purposes or for a costume, but I do know that I absolutely love it. 

I got this bathrobe in San Francisco in Chinatown. It's so beautiful–it's reversible (blue and pink) and has a dragon on the back.

Here Fern is wearing an Arizona vest my Grandmother bought me, and when done right, can actually make a cool look. Try to pair it with either skinny jeans or leggings and a not-too-busy top. 

For this look we accentuated Suri's blue eyes by doing a pale pink shadow on the outer corners and a shimmery white around the tear ducts. Try making your eye color pop by trying out a different color shadow like this. 

You can make the puffy coat work! Try fitted pants (skinny jeans or leggings) a patterned tunic, and a pair of cute boots.

For this look we did have a hippy influence with the big sleeves and free hair kind of thing. Remember, having a style influence can work sometimes as long as you don't go over the top and completely copy the look.

For this outfit we did, yes, two patterns at once. I know what you're thinking: This is a no no. Well, in some cases it is, but if you do it right you can pull it off. Try maybe two simple patterns like polka dots and stripes or a solid colored piece with punched holes or flowers with another patterned piece. And try maybe similar colors when working with complicated designs or the opposite.  

If you want to try something bold like this top, try pairing it with denim shorts tucked in. Also, it'd be a very cute look if you paired it with knee high socks and ankle boots. And if you really want, go for the head band. :) Just kidding please don't do that, there'll be way too much going on and you'll look maybe a little too insane.  

I hope this helps you think outside of the box about your style. And this doesn't mean you have to go outside in a bathrobe, just keep an open mind in terms of your fashion sense and expand on your wardrobe!
