Weekly Secret Weapon: Soften Up Your Edge

My most favorite part of fashion is the juxtaposition of two completely different looks meshed together to make something truly unique. In this week's Secret Weapon, I chose to honor this my showing how you can soften up your edge (or toughen up your girly).



Here, I chose to use contrasting leathers in my work boots and belt and paired them with an ultra-sparkly top and headwrap. It's a fun look both for work on casual days, as well as a night out!



This can also be done with rhinestone jewelry, an evening bag with heavy boots, or anything sequined, really.



And why not make it a little sexy by showing off your bra straps? I also tucked in the top only in the front to give a little more flirt to this ensemble. So go grab something sparkly and something tough and see what you can come up with!
