[Stylish Picks of the Week]: Floral Bodysuit + Leather Shorts + Peep Toe Wedges

Posted in SHOES, STYLISH PICKS OF THE WEEK with tags , , , , , , , , on July 15, 2011 by stylebymeli

I absolutely adore this floral bodysuit.  The print design is just beautiful, along with the blend of colors within the print.  It also happens to be Dolce & Gabbana, so what’s not to like?!  

I styled this with high waisted black leather shorts, that would go over the bodysuit.  I wanted the shoes to also be edgy like the shorts and went with these black peep toe wedges.  I thought it would be nice to throw in a little white with more subtle accessories, hence the white crossbody selection finished with a lucite necklace (lucite jewelry is ALWAYS a nice finishing touch in my eyes, especially paired with an outfit that already has a lot of colors) and a silver knuckle ring for added edge.

What I really love about this outfit is that it captures the true essence of my styling aesthetic:  edgy feminine chic.   It has a soft feminine quality (the floral print) layered with more edgy pieces such as the leather shorts and black peep toe wedges.  I truly love playing up both qualities of a woman through fashion.

I don’t know about you, but I’m totally liking the thought of black leather shorts right now (it may not have much practicality, but for fashion statement purposes, I would rock them in a heartbeat).  I guess I should first start by wearing my new black lace shorts, then I can move onto the black leather! ;)
