OUTFIT POST: DENIM DRESS, PLIMSOLLS and AFRICAN LITERATURE

 Hey guys!
I know it's Tuesday but my week  just started. I just got back from my African literature class and for the next 2 weeks these are the books I'm going to be reading;
. Death and the King's horsemen by Wole Soyinka
. So Long a Letter by Marima Ba
.Weep Not, Child by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o
 These books provide insight into African culture and the language and tone is just fascinating, African literature is amazing!! there are e-books of them available online so you could just google them for those of you that like to read.

  My outfit today was inspired by Rihanna's "We found love" video, of course I added my own twist to it. I paired this denim dress with a waistcoat and wore plimsolls. It's very sunny today, so the sun was hurting my eyes, which is my excuse for squinting in almost all the pictures :) don't hold that against me!

 

DRESS: FOREIGN EXCHANGE, VEST: TEENBELL, PLIMSOLLS: GIFT FROM MY BESTY

Dolce and Gabbana go Sicilian at Milan Fashion Week 2012

This is hands down my favorite collection. Dolce & Gabbana’s Italian glamour took a turn for bejeweled, Baroque inspired beauty. Influenced by Sicilian art work, models took to the runway in brocade and cherub tapestry prints. Accessories for the show included bejeweled headbands, gold jewelry and pearl adorned handbags. Delicate lace work was also on display with ladylike dresses that reached the knee and black veils worn like the Madonna. Bringing some sex appeal to the demure showing, Dolce sent out lingerie inspired bustiers and hot pants for a cheeky take on the Baroque influence. 

Snazzy and proper at the same time. Love it!

sexy sexy sexy!!!

This is a beautiful piece. The color and pattern is nothing short of amazing.

Too much going on. And dare I say the neutral colors are 

ill fitting

I LOVE this. Girly, light, sexy and still maintains a classy aura

A bit too stiff for my taste, but the detail is excellent.

The shorts give a sexy appeal to an otherwise formal outfit

Short, sexy, beautiful accessories. 

This reminds me of a young Baroque princess. Excellent gold details.

My favorite look. The handbag compliments the outfit perfectly.

Too many ruffles and a conspicuous belt. This is ill matched. My least favorite

Moschino at 2012 Milan Fashion Week

Moschino took the opposite route drawing inspiration from the west. His designs are suffused with simple colors, and simple cuts made to show off the feminine figure in a sexy demure way. His inspiration? "let’s throw a parade in the wild wild west". What I particularly loved about the line was its easygoing fun. A lot of the clothes can be worn off the runway. Great accessories too.

Sassy, short, sexy, I love it

The outfit had a bit of too much going on. The trench coat would have been better with fewer buttons considering the leather detail.

This is great. Classic western high fashion. All the well mixed colors, the customized belt, the accessories. Tres excellente!

Simple, beautiful, but not particularly breathtaking.

Casual and sexy. Could be worn out for a fun work day.

I'm tethering between approval and dismay for this. The skirt, seems off. Kudos on the accessorizing, Minimal, but visible.

Laid back, but still very distinctive. easy to wear and paired with great accessories, particularly the headband.

An odd mixture, but somehow the result is amazing. 

LOVE it. The ruffles are divine and the neutral color mix are simply wonderful

Snazzy classiness. 

Unworthy of note. Passable.

My second least favorite. Its not a right fit. The designs are too much

My least favorite. The outfits separated are fun, but don't flatter one much when paired.

AMAZING. MY favorite too. Right up with the blue dress. A perfect fit

Beautiful. Electric blue never goes wrong. The ruffles at the bottom make it very girly. Something a classy Texas belle would rock. Great shoes, great accessories. My favorite.
