picture perfect

Back by popular...my "Photo of the Month" selections at reneereyes.com. This series started all the way back in 2000 but I dropped it as my gender evolved.

This time around?

I'm including tips on acquiring all or part of the outfits I model for anyone with an interest.

Enjoy...

...and hopefully I'll see you again next month.

about this photo

July & August are hot as blazes plus a great time to enjoy some wild nights on the town. It takes a lot of shopping to come up with ensembles where you can look hot...without getting overheated from these infernal temperatures. This little number solves those problems...to a "T". *Grin*

how to acquire this outfit

• The jacket & skirt...are from "Cache": I grabbed it from their half-off rack. When I consider the quality of the construction on most Cache garments, I don't find their normal retail pricing very appealing. However, once they start deep-discounting...their stuff gets more interesting. As usual, my extra-long arms posed a bit of problem with the fitting of this bolero blazer. Thus, you'll notice I "turned down" the leopard-trim cuffs to help compensate for this constant challenge. On the skirt, I used a pair of safety pins to create the split-styling you see in the photo. It seemed to add a touch tribal-flair consistent with the overall theme plus my legs are usually my best feature: no sense wasting your assets, no? *Grin* 
• The belt...is an accidental "combination" belt that worked out rather well. I bought the belt off of ebay: it's an Escada. Escada is a very high quality German designer that's ridiculously expensive at retail but very affordable in the after-market. It snaps in the rear & was a little too large for the higher-waisted look I was seeking. Thus, I took the belt to my favorite shoe-repair guy...and had him add new snaps so that it would fit better. Originally, the center pendant was just like the other ones with the tassels. However, it went missing after I first wore it. Thus, I added a large, round Chanel pendant that I bought off ebay: turned out rather nice, don't you think? *Smile*
• The rest...there's a few additional handy tips included in this outfit. The necklace? I bought the pendant at a local estate sale. Estate sales are often a great source for affordable, high-quality jewels so don't forget to stop in on a few of them when you're out & about on Saturday mornings. I added the heavy gold chain from another necklace I already owned that just wasn't "working" for me. Also, keep in mind that when you're wearing a low-cut top: it's usually a good idea to wear a longer necklace. That way...we lead the eyes right where we want 'em...*Grin* You'll also note that I'm wearing a braided hair "clip" that I purchased at Ulta: adds a bit of sass to my pulled-up main of locks. Finally, the dark tanned loins were achieved mostly from "Magic Tan": aka a full spray tan at my fave' tanning salon.

Seeya' next month!
