Mega Mix & Max: 1 Dress, 7 Events

Introducing, Ever New, from Melbourne! Was psyched to do this feature with MegaStyle.ph.

For this feature, I prepared 7 equally sassy looks donning Ever New's Becky Bow dress. This piece stood out from the racks for these reasons: backless bow (which you can also wear as front!), full-on lace, blue-ish purpl-ish tinge. I love this blue shade!

  

While styling for Ever New, I had to mentally check the brand's target market. In as much as I would want to indulge in editorial opulence, I had to bear in mind that the feature will be released viral which means most of the viewers are real people who appreciate wearable fashion. To be an effective stylist, you should know when to pull the brakes. Edit. Eliminate. Edit. Eliminate... Less is more.

  

So, here it is. Ever New's Becky Bow dress translated in 7 different occassions. Hope you'll be able to draw inspiration from any of these collections.

Oh, btw, this is what I wore on the day I dropped by Mega to work on the collection. Believe it or not, this black sheer top was unearthed from Pandora's box sealed with my highschool days. I had it for a crazy dance competition during my senior year. Amazing how sheer found its course back into fashion. What I bear in mind when clearing my closet-- hold on to pieces with inimitable qualities, because you never know the wonders locked in them... or which genre you'll be seeing them again :)

Here's to my first blog! Finally, after semi-blogging for nearly a year in lb.nu! For my first post, I decided to have fun with pastel!

Forever 21- mint sheer top, blue lace shorts

Best thing about pastels, because they're unabashingly sweet and compromising by nature, you can combine color palettes easily. For this look, I went for a sheer mint top and soft blue lace shorts. I love the floral embroidery of the top. Reminded me of lazy daisies back in grade school. Ffor my hair, pulled a sock-bun (thanks to my sissy Charm for showing me how :) ), slid in a pair of round sunnies and whala, pastels in the 50's!

Folded & Hung- black round sunnies

To transform this tamed ensemble to take off with flaire, I opted to accessorize with gold metals and non-conformist hardware. Finished off with nude pumps. Key when playing with colors, choose 1 color to cement your whole look together. 

Forever 21- gold triangle earrings with crystal

Forever 21- gold & mint beaded choker neckpiece

Forever 21- spikes bracelet 

Janilyn- nude pumps
