Combining complimentary separates in
different textures and fabrics can help you create a striking custom-made
evening look that you wont find on the rack. Experimentalism is the key to
creating a high-impact look, as this darkly glamorous look illustrates.
Collar necklaces are an easy way to
instantly transform the mood and tone of any outfit. This yellow and black
baroque print top is given a Victorian-esque feel and an additional element of
interest and with the detachable black and white lace collar accessory.
This theatrical maxi-length skirt is
embellished with rhinestones and provides a goth contrast to the girlie top.
The dark tulle functions as the focal point of this outfit, injecting additional
drama into this ensemble.
A strong look such as this calls for
minimal accessories as to not overpower the theme or make it seem contrived.
The small black clutch and pointy black pumps are the perfect choices to top
off this girlie-goth look; their colour ties in with the look’s dark undertones,
and the clutch’s velvet material keeps things texturally interesting.
Additionally, the dark lipstick is a great example of how you can include your
makeup look in your sartorial endeavours.
