YESHUA AND TARA'S FASHION ADVICE 101

TARA 101: I DONT THINK WE REALIZE, HOW IMPORTANT THE COLOR, AND DESIGN OF YOUR NAILS, PLAY IN FASHION, AND IN THE ROLE, OF YOUR OUTFIT. IT ADDS A FINISHING TOUCH, OF COLOR, TO YOUR OUFIT. IN FACT IT PULLS, THE OUTFIT TOGETHER, AS A WHOLE, NOT JUST THE JEWELRY/ACCESSORIES. SO HAVE FUN, AND GET CREATIVE, WITH YOUR NAIL COLOR. ASIAN CULTURE, PLAYS A HUGE ROLE, IN FASHION, WITH THE COLORS, AND THE PRINTS OF INDIAN, CHINESE, JAPENSE ETC. PLAYS A VERY, BIG ROLE IN OUR TEXTILE PRINTS, AND COLORS. WHEN I THINK, OF RED I THINK, OF CHINESE LANTERNS, OR INDIAN BRIDAL WEAR, AND HENNA. BUT DO WE REALLY, KNOW WHAT THE HELL, WERE DOING WITH RED? IS THERE A COLOR, THAT CAN REALLY, MAKE RED POP? THAT REALLY SPEAKS, THE LANGUAGE, OF THE BOLDNESS, OF RED? WELL THERE IS… FUCHSIA/MAGENTA, PAIRED WITH RED, ARE LIKE MAGIC, TO AN OUTFIT. DON’T BELIEVE ME, TAKE A LOOK:

HERE I PAIRED, FUCHSIA/MAGENTA ACYLIC NAILS, WITH A DOLCE AND GABBANA, RED/GOLD ASIAN PRINTED DRESS, THAT I PAIRED WITH SHEER BLACK TIGHTS, FUCHSIA PUMPS , A MAGENTA PINK FLOWER, FEATHER VINTAGE HAT. DO YOU SEE HOW THE DETAILED DESIGN, OF THE NAILS, REALLY BRINGS OUT, THE COLORS, OF THE OUTFIT? DO YOU HOW FUCHSIA/MAGENTA, MAKES THE RED, OF THE DRESS, POP BRIGHTER? IT’S NOT DOING TO LITTLE, OR TO MUCH.

I ACCESSORIZED THE OUTFIT, WITH AN ETSY HOUSEOFVEZELLA, MAGENTA STONE CHANDELIER EARRINGS, AN ETSY JEWELRYARTISANS, MAGENTA/FUCHSIA STONE RING. AND AN ETSY HELYDESIGNS, ROSE PINK AND GOLD, JEWELED BRACELET, TO BRING OUT, THE COLORS OF THE DRESS, THAT I THEN PAIRED, A RED JEWELED, GOLD CLUTCH, TO FINSH THE LOOK OFF.

TARA 101: POLKA DOT PRINT, IS ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE PRINTS, TO PLAY AROUND WITH, THERE’S SO MANY WAYS, YOU CAN STYLE POLKA DOT PRINT. THERE’S ALWAYS ROOM, FOR MORE DETAIL AND COLOR. BUT HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT PAIRING YOUR POLKA DOT PRINT BLOUSE, WITH A DETAILED PLAID, STRIPED, ARGYLE SWEATER? IT ADDS A POP OF COLOR, TO AN ALREADY DETAILED OUTFIT. IT MAKES THE POLKA DOT PRINT, STAND OUT BOLDER, AGAINST THE COLORS, OF THE SWEATER.   BETTER YET HAVE YOU, EVER THOUGHT ABOUT, PAIRING YOUR POLKA DOT PRINT BLOUSE/SHIRT, WITH SEQUINS? THE POLKA DOT PRINT, AGAINST THE SEQUINS, ADDS A NICE GLAMOROUS, SPARKLY, DETAILED FINISH. DON’T BELIEVE ME? TAKE A LOOK:

I PAIRED A DOLCE AND GABBANA, WHITE POLKA DOT COAT, WITH A D&G POLKA DOT BLOUSE, UNDER A TORY SPORT, TURQUOISE BREVET-PLAID SWEATER VEST, OVER IT. THAT I PAIRED, WITH A D&G BLACK SEQUINED SKIRT, BLACK TIGHTS, AND BLACK PLATFORM SANDALS, AND A POLKA DOT HANDBAG. YOU SEE HOW THE DETAIL OF THE SWEATER, ADDS A NICE POP OF COLOR, AND DETAIL TO THE SIMPLICITY, OF THE POLKA DOT PRINT? DO YOU SEE HOW, THE POLKA DOT PRINT, AGAINST THE SEQUINED SKIRT, ADDS A NICE, SPARKLY TEXTURED GLIMMER TO THE OUTFIT? ADDING TEXTURED DEPTH, WITH THE BLACK TIGHTS, AND PLATFORMS, THAT ADD A NICE SLEEK, ELEVATED LOOK, TO THE OUTFIT.

I ACCESSORIZED, THE OUTFIT WITH, TURQUOISE ACRYLIC NAILS, ETSY ELDORTINAJEWELRY, WHITE OPAL-TURQUOISE CHANDELIER EARRINGS, ETSY BANSIWALAJEWELS, BLUE OPAL STONE RING, ETSY COUTUREBRIDALSTUDIOS, BLUE/WHITE OPAL BRACELET, AND AN ETSY ELDORTINAJEWELRY, MINT GREEN OPAL BRACELET. I REALLY ACCENTUATED, THE COLOR, OF THE SWEATER, THROUGH THE NAILS, AND THE  WHITE/BLUE OPAL JEWELRY, TO REALLY BRING THE PRINTS, AGAINST EACH OTHER, WITH THE SEQUINS TO LIFE.

TARA 101: MOST STREET STYLERS, STYLISTS AND DESIGNERS STEER CLEAR OF RED AND GREEN COLORBLOCK, 1. BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE CHRISTMAS COLORS. 2. THOSE ARE TWO VERY CONTRASTING COLORS. SO THE REAL QUESTION, IS HOW DO YOU PAIR, RED AND GREEN, AND STILL HAVE HARMONY? THERE IS A TRICK, TO FIND A COLOR, THAT GOES WITH RED AND GREEN, AND PLAY OFF THAT THIRD COLOR. AND LET IT GUIDE YOU, TO STYLE AROUND IT, LIKE WITH RED, THE CLOSEST COLOR, IS PINK. I COULD HAVE STYLED, THE OUTFIT BELOW WITH PINK, AS THE THIRD COLOR, AROUND RED AND GREEN. BUT INSTEAD, I DECIDED TO GO, WITH THE CLOSEST COLOR, TO GREEN, AND THAT IS BLUE. I CHOOSE BLUE/BLUE IRIDESCENT TAKE A LOOK:

I STYLED A DOLCE AND GABBANA RED DOUBLE BREASTED COAT WITH A GUCCI GREEN BOW BLOUSE WITH A D&G BLACK SEQUINED PEPLUM TOP WITH MATCHING SEQUINED PANTS, BLACK TIGHTS UNDERNEATH AND BURGUNDY RED PLATFORM SANDALS AND A BLUE-GREEN SCARF, TIED AROUND A MATCHING HANDBAG. I PLAYED AROUND, WITH RED AND GREEN, FAIRLY COMPLICATED. I CHOSE AN EVEN MORE, CHALLENGING COLOR BLACK, I PLAYED WITH DIFFRENT TONES: A DARKER RED FOR THE PLATFORMS, AND THE HANDBAG, TO SOFTEN THE CLASH, OF THE RED COAT, THE GREEN BLOUSE, AND GREEN SCARF, AGAINST THE BLACK. HERE’S WHERE THE TRICK COMES IN, TO PULL ALL OF THESE CLASHING COLORS, TOGETHER: THE ACCESSORIES, AND THE JEWELRY.

I PAIRED NEON/LIME GREEN ACRYLIC NAILS, WITH AN ETSY PINKAVENGER, BLUE-GREEN IRIDESCENT, JEWELED BRACELET, AN ETSY NOVUSJEWELLRY, BLUE-GREEN IRIDESCENT GLASS BEAD BRACELET, AND ETSY ELDORTINAJEWELRY, DARK AND LIGHT GREEN DROP EARRINGS. 

TARA 101: THE COOL THING ABOUT FASHION, IS IT PLAYS A DIFFERENT ROLE, ALL AROUND THE WORLD, IN MANY CULTURES, ITS UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT, WHETHER IT BE SAUDI ARABIYAH, INDIA, CHINA, JAPAN, YOU GET THE POINT, WE CAN LEARN ALOT , FROM OTHER CULTURES. IM  ALL FOR THE SARIS, THE PUNJABIS, THE HIJABS THE KIMONOS, IM ALL FOR THAT, AND HERE’S WHY YOU SHOULD BE. MANY DESIGNER’S INCORPRATE, OTHER CULTURES, IN WITH THEIR DESIGNS, WHETHER IT BE THROUGH, THE DESIGN OF THE PIECE, OF THE PRINTS. IT MAKES FASHION, REALLY COME TO LIFE, LIKE VIVID ART PICASSO. AND NO IM NOT EXAGGERATING, DON’T BELIEVE ME TAKE A LOOK:

TARA 101: SO ITS NOT EVERYDAY THAT YOU HEAR OR SEE SKIRTS PAIRED OVER JOGGER SWEATPANTS, ITS SOUND SILLY BUT BEFORE YOU JUDGE TAKE A LOOK,

HERE I PAIRED, A DOLCE AND GABBANA RED/FUCSIA JOGGER/SWEATPANTS WITH A D&G EMBELLISHED JACQUARD SKIRT OVER IT, A D&G SEQUINED LEOPARD PRINT BLAZER, WITH A ETRO PAISLEY PRINT BLOUSE AND BLACK PLATFORM SANDALS.

TAKE A LOOK AND SEE HOW THE JOGGERS SERVE, AS ALMOST NOT ONLY PANTS, BUT AS TIGHTS AND LEGGINGS, BECAUSE THE WAY, THE ELASTIC OF THE ANKLES OF PANTS, HUGS THE ANKLES, JUST SHORT BEFORE THE ATTENTION, OF THE PLATFORM SANDALS, THAT’S WHAT YOU WANT. YOU WANT JOGGERS, THAT SERVE AS NOT ONLY PANTS, BUT TIGHTS AND LEGGINGS. I ACCESSORIZED THE OUTFIT WITH A RED TWEED BERET, A RED LIP/LIPSTICK, RED SIMONE ROCHA CHANDELIER EARRINGS, ETSY WEDDINGPEARL, RED BEADED BRACELETS,  AND AN ETSY, EZEAUCTION, RED JEWELED BRACELET. I FINISHED THE LOOK OFF WITH SILVER CHROME ACRYLIC NAILS, RED/GOLD EMBELLISHED HANDBAG.

TARA 101: WHERE DO I START WE HAVE SEVERAL FACTORS THAT PLAY INTO THE TOPIC OF THIS CONVERSATION, IM A LITTLE OVERWHELMED, BUT ANYWHO, LETS START WITH BOLD PRINTED, HIGHWAISTED SHORTS PAIRED, WITH A PASTEL-BRIGHT BLAZER. PAIRING A BOLD-BRIGHT PASTEL COLOR LIKE AN ORANGE OR A YELLOW, REALLY BRINGS OUT, THE DESIGN OF THE SHORTS, AS WELL AS THE LENGTH, AND THE HEIGHT, IT PORTRAYS, WITH YOUR LEGS. TO TOP IT OFF, PAIR YOUR LOOK, WITH BOLD CORK PLATFORMS, LIKE BLACK, OR WHITE. IT KEEPS IT SIMPLE, AND TIES THE PASTEL, IN WITH THE PRINT. AND AT THE SAME TIME, THE BLACK HUE, IS SIMPLE ENOUGH, TO DRAW ATTENTION, TO THE CORK DETAIL. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT, MIXING SUBTLE COLOR-TONE BOHEMIAN PRINTS WITH DETAILED FLORAL PRINTS?! SOUNDS BUSY BUT BEFORE YOU JUDGE TAKE A LOOK:

I PAIRED DOLCE AND GABBANA FLORAL/PEPPER PRINT HIGHWAISTED SHORTS WITH A ANTONIO DERRICO, BRIGHT PASTEL-YELLOW BLAZER WITH A BURBERRY BOHEMIAN ORANGE PRINTED BLOUSE WITH AN ORANGE BELT, BLACK TIGHTS, AND BLACK CORK PLATFORMS, AND AN ORANGE PATENT HANDBAG. WITH THIS LOOK, YOU SEE HOW NICELY, THE BRIGHT-PASTEL BLAZER, COMPLIMENTS THE DETAIL, OF THE SHORTS, AND THE WAY THE BOHO PRINTED TOP, PAIRS VERY SUBTLETY, WITH PRINT OF THE SHORTS. THE CORK PLATFORMS, ADD NICE HEIGHT, AND A CULTURAL/ETHNIC INFLUENCE TO THE OUTFIT.

I ACCESSORIZED THE OUTFIT, WITH A BLACK FEDORA HAT, TO BRING OUT THE COMPLIMENTARY COLORS, OF THE PLATFORMS. THAT I PAIRED, WITH BOHEMIAN ETSY EZEAUCTION, ORANGE/GOLD CHANDELIER EARRINGS, ETSY RALIJEWELLERY, GREEN GLASS CRYSTAL BRACELETS, ETSY EVECOLECOLLECTION, ORANGE STONE CLUSTER RING.

TARA 101: ITS VERY EASY TO BE INTIMIDATED BY THE COLOR BLACK , WHETHER YOUR DOING, AN ALL BLACK LOOK, OR INCORPORATING BLACK INTO YOUR LOOK, DONT LET THE BOLD, POTENENT COLOR, OF BLACK TO INTIMIDATE YOU. BELIEVE OR NOT, THERE’S COLORS, AND WAYS TO BRIGHTEN IT UP, AND STILL COMPLIMENT, THE INTENSITY OF BLACK. ONE COLOR, FOR EXAMPLE WOULD BE LIGHT/PASTEL PURPLE. A SOFT ENDEARING COLOR, WITH A BOLD FINISH. ANOTHER TREND THAT IS UNCOMMON, IS FINDING OUT WHAT, TO PAIR WITH EMBELLISHED BLAZERS, PANTS, AND SKIRTS… BUT HAVE YOU EVER, THOUGHT ABOUT PAIRING IT, WITH A LACE TOP?! SOME HOW THE LACE, LEAVES ROOM FOR THE EMBELLISHMENTS, TO POP BOLDER, AND THE DETAIL, TO REALLY STAND OUT, HERE TAKE A LOOK:

I PAIRED A SEE BY CHLOE, BLACK LACE TOP, WITH A DOLCE AND GABBANA, BLACK EMBELLISHED SKIRT, WITH BLACK TIGHTS, AND BLACK FEATHER-EMBELLISHED PLATFORM SANDALS AND A BLACK PATENT-LEATHER HANDBAG. NOW HERE’S WERE THE COLOR PURPLE, COMES IN. I ACCESSORIZED THE OUTFIT, WITH PASTEL-PURPLE ACRYLIC NAILS, ETSY TITANICTEMPTATIONS, LIGHT-PURPLE VICTORIAN CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH AN ETSY HELENSCOLLECTION, PURPLE BIB-STONE NECKLACE, AN ETSY GLITTERFUSION, PURPLE-IRIDESCENT JEWELED RING, AND AN ETSY CHARISMABOLIVIA, PURPLE- STONE BRACELET. YOU SEE THE EFFECT, THE LIGHT/PASTEL PURPLE, HAS AGAINST THE BLACK.

INCORPORATE COLOR, IN WITH YOUR ALL BLACK OUTFIT, WITH DETAILED COLOR, PIECES OF JEWELRY/ACCESSORIES, NAILS, YOU GET THE POINT.    

TARA 101: NEW TREND ALERT! YOU DAMN RIGHT! WHEN YOU THINK OF CAPES YOU THINK, OF THE FESTIVE, ARTISTIC, CREATIVE STREETS, OF PARIS FASHION WEEK. CAPES, ALSO MAKE YOU THINK, OF VINTAGE, WITH A JEWELED BROOCH, PINNED TO THE CAPE, AND SILK GLOVES, LIKE THE VINTAGE-STYLE, SILKSTONE BARBIES. BUT HAVE YOU EVER, THOUGHT… YOU MAY HAVE, ABOUT PAIRING A CAPE, WITH A BERET HAT? TAKE A DAMN RISK! TAKE A CHANCE! AND WATCH HOW YOUR OUTFIT, WILL EVOLVE. DON’T BELIEVE ME TAKE A LOOK:

HERE I PAIRED, A PASTEL BLUE BERET, WITH BLONDE SHORT HAIR, PAIRED WITH A DOLCE AND GABBANA, PASTEL CAPE OVER A D&G PASTEL-BLUE SHEER DRESS, WITH PASTEL-BLUE TIGHTS, AND METALLIC/SILVER CHANDELIER-HEELED MARY JANES. NOW TAKE A LOOK, AND SEE HOW THE BERET, PAIRED WITH THE CAPE, IS SUCH A ENLIGHTENING, PARIS FASHION MOMENT. SOMETHING ABOUT IT, JUST LOOKS SO RIGHT, YOU CAN’T EVEN EXPLAIN WHY. THERE IS NO EXPLANATION, ITS JUST PERFECT. IT SHIFTS THE OUFIT, TO HIGHCLASS-CONSERVATIVE, CLASSY. I ACCESSORIZED THE OUTFIT, WITH ROUNDED FRENCH TIP ACRYLIC NAILS, ETSY EZEAUCTION, IRIDESCENT CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH AN ETSY LATESTTRENDSSHOP, IRIDESCENT BIB NECKLACE, WITH AN ETSY TIMATIBO, AURORA BOREALIS JEWELED RING. AND I FINSHED THE LOOK OFF WITH A SILVER EMBELLISHED HANDBAG.

POINT PROVEN.. THE BERET JAZZED, THE WHOLE ENTIRE OUTFIT UP. SIT THERE, AND PROCESS THAT, AND NEXT TIME YOU WEAR A CAPE, DO AS WHAT, IS NEEDED FASHIONABLY…

TARA 101: WHEN WE THINK OF STYLING A JACQUARD BLAZER WE TEND TO JUST LET THE BLAZER SPEAK FOR ITSELF, WITH A COLORED BLOUSE, OR SHIRT, BUT HAVE YOU EVER, THOUGHT ABOUT PAIRING, A JAQUARD BLAZER, WITH A LACE TOP. THE TEXTURE, OF THE BLAZER, AND THE TEXTURE, OF THE LACE, GIVES A VERY VINTAGE EFFECT. AS WELL AS VERY CHIC, AND DRESSY, WITHOUT OVER KILLING IT, IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME TAKE A LOOK.

I PAIRED A DOLCE AND GABBANA, GOLD-JACQUARD BLAZER, WITH A GUCCI PURPLE BLOUSE, WITH A D&G BLACK LACE BUSTIER TOP. THAT I PAIRED, WITH A D&G FLORAL PRINT, PLEATED SKIRT, BLACK TIGHTS , AND NUDE MARYJANE PLATFORMS AND A GOLD GLASS MINI HANDBAG. THE LACE IS A NICE FRENCH SPIN ON THE OUTFIT, IT DRESSES AND COMPLIMENTS THE BLAZER…MY POINT EXACTLY, POINT PROVEN. I ACCESSORIZED THE OUTFIT PURPLE IRIDESCENT ACRYLIC NAILS, PAIRED WITH ETSY ILONITI PURPLE/GREEN IRIDESCENT DROP EARRINGS, AN ETSY COUTURELOVE, IRIDESCENT CRYSTAL BRACELET, ETSY GEMSICLES, PINK-IRIDESCENT MOTHER OF PEARL RING, AND AN ETSY HANDSYMPHONY, IRIDESCENT CRYSTAL RING.

TARA 101: THE MOST CHICEST THING IN FASHION IS HAVING KNOWLEDGE OF FASHION OF OTHER CULTURES. NO FASHION IS THE SAME EACH CULTURAL OF FASHION IS UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT ALL OVER THE WORLD. THE MORE KNOWLEDGE YOU HAVE OF OTHER CULTURES OF FASHION THE MORE VIBRANT AND COMPLEX YOUR STYLE WILL BE LIKE HAVING A WIDE VOCABULARY.

WITH THIS LOOK I FOUND A DOLCE AND GABBANA GOLD ASIAN BROCADE JACKET WITH A GUCCI PURPLE SHIRT WITH A D&G FLORAL PRINT BRA TOP THAT I PAIRED WITH A D&G RED FRENCH-STYLE APPLIQUED SILK EMBROIDED SKIRT, RED TIGHTS, MAGENTA BARBIE-PINK PLATFORM MARYJANES AND A MATCHING HANDBAG. THE JACKET IS THE ASIAN INFLUENCE OF THE OUTFIT, AS WELL, AS THE SILK FABRIC, OF THE SKIRT. THE EMBROIDERED DESIGN, OF THE SKIRT IS VERY FRENCH. I PAIRED THE OUTFIT WITH PINK WAVY HAIR, ETSY PARADISEVINTAGEJEWEL, JAPAN-PURPLE CLUSTER EARRINGS, ETSY BEADGARDEN55, PURPLE IRIDESCENT BRACELETS, AND AN ETSY JENNIFERJONESJEWELRY, JAPAN-PURPLE CLUSTER BRACELET, AND AN ETSY SILVERCHAI, PURPLE OPAL CLUSTER RING.
