Style Me: A'deana

There's really nothing better than a multi-functional and multi-faceted article of clothing. A piece that you can dress up, dress down, accessorize and wear in an entirely different way depending on how your mood fits or the occasion at hand. Well, this dress is totally one of those pieces. I picked it up at Urban Outfitters this past summer, and although it looks quite unassuming on the hanger, it boasts the most forgiving (and glamorous) draping, the narrowest of hems, and the deepest raspberry color that all come together as a go-to frock for any occasion. My fabulous cousin, A'deana, agreed to be my inspiration for a little segment I'd like to call: One Dress, Three Ways.

As you can see, it's all about the accessories darling! Why not take some time to play around in your closet? Mix and match pieces you never thought to put together. Take risks with your color combinations. All you need to get out of a fashion rut is a little creativity and a lot of inspiration. (Look to your favorite fashion magazine or this lil blog for the latter) And in no time, you'll be making your wardrobe work for you!

aw shizzle! i thought that was halle berry for a second-LOLOLOL! dahling, just FABULACIOUS!!!! you sure did work your magic wand on this one. how can i spice up my ratty ol wig and pajama w/fur coat look?

Darling Addict,

First, you're going to have to shave your head a la Bianca and get yourself a medical wig. Yes, it's that bad. Then, I need you to work on remembering that pajamas should never leave your bedroom. Especially ones that smell of crack and fried fish. Finally, burn the fur. Once it becomes infested, the glamour is all but gone.

Good luck with that, Elle
