I high key think I have the portfolio to say that I am.
I recently styled my last Cotton Club Fashion Show, and if I’m being honest, I think that the show was perfect for my outro as a runway stylist.
Why I won’t be doing it again? I just think my time has passed, and I want someone else to get that opportunity.
But y’all aren’t here for me to give all my reasons for leaving Cotton Club behind, lets get into my outfit.
So when I was thinking of what my outro should look like, I wanted to do something a bit out of the box, and try something I had never done- hence the corset coming into play.
Lately I’ve been into corsets, harnesses, garters, all of that, and somehow taking things that are seen as underwear or not traditionally worn in fashion, and making them fashion. Now corsets are fashionable, but I was looking for one that seemed a little more waist trainer/cosplay/dominatrix looking to be the star of this look.
I knew we would get our e-board shirts as well, and I knew that I wanted to feature that in my look, as it was my last time and most runway stylists wear all black on the day of the show because they’re in the crew and their job isn’t to be the best dressed, but to make the models the best dressed.
So playing off of both of those needs for this look and also just knowing that if I’m about to be running around, I need to wear pants, I ended up with this look, which really impressed me considering the time constraint of 2 days that I pulled this together– thanks Amazon.
Overall, I really liked the pants, I wanted a dramatic flare and first I was thinking flared jeans, but the bottom just wasn’t as dramatic as I normally would like, and as I was going for in this look, so I grabbed these knit flared pants from Amazon in a size 3x.
In general, stop sleeping on Amazon for plus size clothes. You might have to do a little digging for the sizes, but its worth it, especially if you’re in a time crunch and need something really soon.
Also, I’ll be dropping pics of my models from the show on my styling IG, so give me a follow!
Do You Boo x.
