Today I get the privilege of introducing you to a lady of impeccable taste. Joanna is a fashion blogger, an actress, a photographer and so much more. I have no doubt that you will enjoy reading and looking at the style pictures on her Joanna's blog. And you'll be inspired to spice up your wardrobe. Make sure to stop by and read her blog.
Guest posting is awkward. It's feels odd to talk about myself, like I'm applying for a dating video: Actor, Tv host, photographer, sci-fi nerd, and boardgame geek, who can kill you with her bare hands from 12 years of Kung Fu training. Loves ruffled dresses and pretty, pretty shoes, and is recently obsessed with her Vintage-esque bike. Contact me at
ModaMama.
Lately, I've been taking part in something called
Dressember, where you wear a dress every single day in December. Some do it for fun, some do it for the challenge or styling, and some do it for charity. I'm doing it for a bit of all three.
I'd love to share with you a few ideas on styling dresses. First off, belts! I can't get by without a few good belts, and I really suggest Forever 21 for really cheap and trendy belts to help you constantly change up your look.
Sweaters/shirts over/under dresses. I love doing this because it also lets me wear summer dresses all year round. This gives you a ton of versatility and you can literally create hundreds of looks by just changing that up. Plus, when it gets cold, you really need to stay warm by practicing the art of layering.
Did I also mention tights? Wool tights are my absolute must here in Toronto, Canada. It gets really cold and there's just no way I could set my dresses aside. So tights with wool in them are as essential as a warm jacket.
Plus, you can do all of it at once - shirt under a dress, sweater over it, tights to stay warm, and a belt to finish it all off!
Finally, go with what you love. My recent love, or obsession, is faux fur. Specifically faux fur vests. I absolutely adore it, and love the fact that I seem to be able to just throw this one over anything!
That's it! Thanks for reading and I'd love it if you
stopped by, followed me, or even just watched a
Coffee Talk vid or two. Take care!
