Love or Loathe: Beaded Bustier

By -
I'm choosing to use the image where Bebe layered this beaded cutout bustier over a staid white shirt. Part of me thinks it would be great for that experiment in modern Tudor clothing I was talking about. Part of me saw their other picture without the shirt underneath and couldn't help thinking "alien assassin at Comic Con". The back even laces up. Please give my Monday brain a rest and tell me what to think.

I don't know. It's interesting. I'm not sure I like it even over the white shirt. Maybe it would work over something with billowy sleeves or something more feminine. And maybe if it weren't beaded. And maybe in a different color.

Or maybe I just don't care for it.

I don't like this at all. The lines are, well, wrong... I can see it working somewhat over a burgundy leg-of-mutton sleeve blouse which would make it rather medieval-with-a-contemporary-flare. That's trying really, really hard though.

I kinda like it. But then, I have a thing for the renaissance, corsets, anime and comic books, so maybe I'm just a nerd that's geeking out right now.

Loathe. Something's just not right about it.

sorry, but this would be a Loathe.

The beads remind me of an insect. They ruin any potential it had for coolness.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
