Where Fashion Meets Function

Some of the best things in life are combinations of contrasting elements. Sweet and salty, smooth and rough…, but the biggest contrast of all...Masculine and Feminine. Every woman has a little man in them and every man has a little woman in them. In fashion, combining both parts can make you feel delicate and fierce all at the same time. Here are a few tips to help you pull off this look this season.

Jacket: Doublju Women’s Faux Leather Power Shoulder Jacket – Amazon.com $27, Shoes: Betsey Johnson Frisky – BetseyJohnson.com $129, Accessories: Monsoon Multi Glitter Corsage Bracelet and Ring – Monsoon.co.uk $9, Ava & Aidan Rose Gold Station Necklace – Gilt.com $20, Purse: Mollie Hardcase Clutch – ColetteHayman.com.au $22, Dress: Club L Scalloped Lace Prom Dress – Nelly.com $48 

The trick to this look is adding one element that is completely different than the others. If the main piece of your outfit has a delicate texture like this navy blue lace dress, then all the other elements should fall in line with it like the bow accent Betsey Johnson heels, navy rose bracelet and ring set, rhinestone bar necklace, and Mollie Hardcase clutch. Here, the contrasting element is this Doublju Women’s Faux Leather Power Shoulder Jacket. It’s rigid texture against the subtle lace speaks to both your soft, feminine side and your rough and tough, masculine side. The best part of this type of styling is that it can go from day to night and from office to happy hour with only a switch of shoes and accessories. Try this look out on your next date night or girls night out. It will have every man thinking… 

She seems sweet, but a little bad ass too!
