Whats New.....

I feel that I have left a lot of things behind in 2015.

I mean I feel lighter...like everything is getting better or has the opportunity to get better.

Last year I dealt with ALOT of stress and anxiety.
Whether it was school, friends, boys & the usual trying to please people.

But this year its going to be different.
I called things off with a guy I was talking to, I pretty much dropped a friend or two who was most definitely giving me stress anxiety, I am taking 15 hours this semester [which is still including the Math class that I failed last semester], while also volunteering at my church and working 2 other jobs.

Basically Im focusing more on me.

Meaning:
1] Focusing on my future and where I 
would like to be by the end of this year
2] I am not focusing on dating 
or checking out guys
[If you like me..you like..& thats great but I have goals this year
 and if you cant understand, where my total focus is at the moment than it may be best that you find a gal who can give you all of her attention.]
3] I want to actually finish something that I start.
4] Not being around people or anything that will give me anxiety.
5] And most importantly, growing closer in
 my faith and who I want to be as a Christian.

So...what are you changing for the better in 2016?

Vintage Shirt

Halloween For Your Body Type

Apple Body Type-Fiesta

Apple: Harley's Fiesta by recklesslyeclectic featuring a white crop top

This particular outfit is inspired by the DC character Harley Quinn. I started off with the black and red crop top which is meant to accentuate the models arms. The flare leg jeans are ideal for an Apple shaped model. Along with the vertical line in the pants, drawing the eye down. These jeans also accentuate the small of her waist as do the black and red crop top. I decided not to add on a belt to this outfit particularly because the top part of the jeans does the job of the belt. The top of the jeans target the waist, which will then highlight the models waist also. 

Round Body Type-Rose Quartz

Round: Felicia Rose by recklesslyeclectic featuring sleeveless tops

This look inspired for the Marvel character Felicia Hardy who is also Black Cat. This is a modern up to date look on Ms. Hardy, compared to her late 70s early 80s look. For the round body type, you should highlight the arms and back. This is the reason why the, no sleeve blouse was chosen. The Rose Quartz skirt is above the knee and also accentuates the waist. So my thought is of her tucking in the blouse to her skirt, which will then have the blouse skim the models body highlighting her midsection. The heels that I chose will also cause focus to her legs, lengthening them.

Petite Body Type- Buttercup

Petite: Buttercup Cat by recklesslyeclectic featuring a leather bracelet

Petite shape is inspired by a younger cat woman who is highlighted in the show Gotham on FOX tv. The color focused here is Buttercup, which is everything yellow in the picture. Cat is a orphan street girl, who is known for stealing. So because of this I thought the black shorts, crop top and boots would be the best option for this costume activity wise. This costume is also put together to influence the models curves and legs. The crop top accentuates the waist and lengthens the arms. The shorts lengthen the legs but also highlight the waist. Lastly, having the gathering of Buttercup influenced jewelry gives a bit of unbalance to the outfit, but was meant to add to the costume story line.

Pear Body Type-Fiesta & Serenity

Pear: Lois Fiesta by recklesslyeclectic featuring a gray tank top

Lois Lane is the inspiration behind this outfit. This is a business casual outfit meant for a Pear shaped woman. With a Pear shape you should always look to highlight and focus on the shoulders, torso, waist, minimizing the hips and adding volume to the upper body. These particular pants give attention to the small waist because of the belt that is paired to the pants, while also de-emphasizing the hips. The white slacks also carry the eyes downward to the pointy heels which both elongates the legs. This fiesta jacket adds volume to the top half of the models body, minimizes the hips and shows off the shoulders. 

Hourglass Body Type- Lilac Grey & Serenity

Hourglass: iZombie Greay Serenity by recklesslyeclectic featuring black opaque tights

This outfit is influenced by the DC character iZombie, which now airs on CWtv. This outfit is meant to be very casual simple street wear. The character this ensemble is based on is a zombie and she does not dress to impress. An hourglass figure is very straight forward, you simply highlight on the curves of the model. Even though this outfit is not meant to cause obvious attention, it still highlights the models waist line and shoulders. The Serenity or blue necklace is long and this is meant to draw the eye downward which will then cause you to notice the curve of the model.

Fall 2015 Capsule

Fall 2015 Capsule by recklesslyeclectic featuring skinny jeans

This look was inspired towards my client Rosemari. Rosemari is a 25 year old beginner hand model. On her days off she spends her days walking the Art district in Dallas, hoping to be spotted by a fashion photographer. Doing this weekly her outfits must stay up to date and on point. Rosie's budget is $400.

Rosie has an hourglass figure so finding her clothing to wear wasn't much of a challenge. I wanted to highlight Rosie's arms and also accentuate her legs and waist. I wanted to focus alot on street wear in this collection, since that is wear she will be 80% of her day. I also wanted to focus on putting her in something that she can wear to a meeting, then out on a date with her girls.

One thing that I like most about this outfit are the knee-length heels. The knee length heels reminded me of a pair of knee length heels that Kylie Jenner wore. At the moment, Kylie is very popular and the shoes that she wears are usually bold statement pieces.

Me showing her this picture and hearing what I had to say about these heels, Rosemari was sold on wearing these shoes. These heels make Rosie's legs look even longer and also tone.
