Layering is a great look for winter, and a great piece for layering is a plaid shirt. It can be very versatile with many different looks you can achieve. This is one of those pieces that I’ve always thought looked good on other people, but not sure about how it would look on me. I’ve got to say though that after researching for today’s blog post, I am so buying one cuz I think I can pull it off now! Let me show you a few ways to style your plaid shirt.

Plaid Shirt

 

A beautiful colored plaid shirt looks great paired with a vest over top, jeans, and some ankle boots. I’m sure almost all of us have these pieces to pull this carefree look off. Oh and I love the addition of that wrap bracelet! Making those is my new hobby.
Plaid Shirt For Fall

 

I love this look! The plaid shirt paired with the corduroy skirt, a jean jacket and cowboy boots is fantastic. I am really loving those boots and I really love how the colors of the plaid shirt compliment the colors in the boots. For the winter look you could always add a pair of tights under your skirt.
Colored Jeans & Plaid Shirt

 

You could always wear your plaid shirt over a sweater with some beautiful colored jeans. I feel colored jeans are a hard item to pull off, but this look does it fantastic.
Fall Day: Flannel Shirt & Cable Knit Sweater

 

I love the idea of pairing a plaid shirt with a beautiful cable knit sweater. The collar will peak out the top and the bottom of the shirt will hang a little lower than the sweater; I can picture myself in it now.
A last look, because I could go on and share tons of photos today, is a more casual look but gives you a great idea of how you can layer your plaid shirt.
Casual with plaid shirt

 

First I love the shoes, because I’m more about comfort than how I look (not that I don’t want to look nice!). A plaid shirt, with a sweater over (like we talked about above) but even adding a jacket over that for those especially cold days. Paired with a great distressed jean you’ll pull off the ultimate put together but casual look.
So tell me, do you own a plaid shirt? What’s your favorite way to wear it? Have I given you a new angle today on how to style it? I hope so!

It’s the little details that make or break your whole look. Piecing different items together is a great way to achieve a specific look. A great winter piece is a poncho. Yesterday during my errands (looking for items for my dear friends new studio!) I ran across an adorable grey cable knit poncho with accent buttons. It’s lovely! Which leads me to my blog post for today.

A poncho looks great over jeans, dress pants or a skirt. Just look.

I love this look. I’m a wear jeans every day type of person and adding a poncho (along with the right shoes! Don’t forget your footwear!) can help to elevate your jean look.

Boots are a great footwear choice, especially if you’re wearing jeans. The flats above look great too!

If you’re a legging type person, you can easily wear a poncho and pull it off.

Wearing a skirt with a poncho looks great too.

This is an accessory that you can pull off in the summer too.

I could go on and on showing you different photos but I hope you get the idea of how you can wear a poncho in different ways. I’m really loving this accessory ladies! Do you have a poncho, or two, that you wear? What’s your favorite way to wear it?

This past weekend at the Curvy Girl Lingerie Show, I was introduced to a new (to me) name in lingerie, Coquette. Holy Cow ladies! This is some beautiful stuff! Sexy, sensual, glamorous, and even a bit naughty! Take a look at some of my favorite pieces, found on the Curvy Girl Lingerie website.

Up first a gorgeous Merlot color babydoll. The top of this is stunning! I love the little cap sleeves and the almost fully sheer top. The little ribbon trim at the bottom with the bow is a nice addition.

Another piece I saw while browsing was this beautiful purple chemise. Miss Saucye West is wearing the piece named after her in this photo, and this is what she modeled at the fashion show. It is so stunning in person ladies! And I think you can see by the photo how beautiful this chemise is. From the detail around the bust to the black trim around the piece itself, this might end up being one of your favorites!

Another fun piece I saw was this waist clincher. I love that it ties up the back, so it will easily accommodate any size. And adding the ruffle panties gives it a little something extra.

Last, but certainly not least is a fabulous black brocade corset. Paired with booty shorts this is a great look for your bedroom, or a boudoir shoot!

Is there one that you would pick for the bedroom, and on that you would pick for your boudoir shoot? Let me know what you love !

When you think of doing a boudoir shoot, you probably start thinking about lingerie; what you currently have that can work, or maybe that special little outfit you’ve had your eye on for that just right occasion. But what if I said you didn’t need all lingerie for your boudoir session?! Would you think I’m crazy?

Seriously ladies, you don’t need to have all lingerie! Danea can work wonders with any special item that you bring in. Let me show you some ideas!

A sweater can be just as sexy as your favorite lingerie. And what’s nice about bringing in a piece of regular clothing is that every time your significant other sees you in it, they’ll think about those sexy, sensual photos you took!

 How about his favorite tie?! That’ll send him over the edge every time he wears it!

Think outside the box ladies! What do you have sitting around, or can sneak away, that you can use for your session? Bring it, and Danea can make it sexy. The most important thing is that you feel amazing in what you bring. If it’s special to you (or him/her) it’ll bring a special smile to your face that will come across in your photos. So, what do you have lying around that would be great for your shoot?

A simple accessory can really add to the look of your outfit. I’m thinking of something that we all probably have in our closet, just sitting there waiting to be worn. Some are to keep you warm, but mainly this accessory is for the look it gives. Know what I’m talking about?

Scarfing

 

Scarfs make one of the best fashion accessories. Since there are so many styles and types of scarfs they are an easy choice for a go to accessory.

Scarfs look really good with those tall boots sitting in your closet waiting to wear this winter.

There are so many different ways to tie a scarf for different looks too. Sometimes tying it differently can add to the look of your outfit. Here is something I ran across on Pinterest and have saved for reference (click on the photo to be taken to the website).
scarf
This site is seriously the know all on how to tie a scarf. I never realized how many different ways, I have my old standby that I always use.
You can pick up a scarf at any store and they are fairly inexpensive. Just like everything though you can purchase some pricey ones! Go with what you like. Solid, pattern, chunky, lightweight, infinity, blanket; whatever you like! That’s what your wardrobe is about. Finding things you like and wearing them so you feel good.
Do you reach for a scarf to jazz up an outfit ladies? What’s your favorite that you have? How do you like wearing it?

We all have that one outfit that is simple and understated but makes us feel amazing. A few pieces put together can help lift your spirits, or at least mine it does mine!

It can be something as simple as wearing your favorite pair of heels with a t-shirt and jeans, or a sexy new bra and panty set under a typical every day work outfit. You’ll know you’ve got something sexy going on underneath and it can really bring a smile to your face.

I love this set below. Simple and understated, but man those heels really help pull this outfit out of an ordinary day look.

Time Out

 

Other accessories can help bring that spark to a normal outfits; a new statement necklace, or a new purse, maybe even a gorgeous new color on your lips.
Share with me ladies; what is your favorite way to jazz up an ordinary outfit and put a spring in your step?

I have to admit, I love a bit of the vintage look when it comes to lingerie. While I can appreciate all the tiny, itty bitty pieces of today’s lingerie, I adore the classic look. Long, flowy gowns; fuller, longer bottom pieces, and some vintage lace.

Gorgeous Gatsby
Adding elbow length gloves to your sexy bra & panty set is a great idea and can really add that vintage feel. Wearing stockings with your vintage panty set it another way to add a classic look. A long classic gown (can you picture it from a classic black & white movie!) is so beautiful. Picture yourself stretched out in a door frame wearing that; so hot!
Another vintage looks that I love and can appreciate is garters! I love the wide garter belts, or the high panties that have the garter hooks built in. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy with the time we live in and that I don’t have to dress like that daily, but love this look for a boudoir shoot or special evening.

What do you feel about the vintage look ladies? Like or dislike? Do you have any lingerie or wardrobe pieces that have a vintage look to them?
