Hello! My friend, Taisha, recently visited me in Richmond and of course, grabbing Sunday brunch together was a must while she was in town. We managed to squeeze in a shoot to capture our looks with my favorite photographer, Rachel Dwyer, before heading off to brunch.

I decided to play it a little risqué with my look and pulled out a vintage leopard print teddy to style my look around. I threw on a little black circle skirt over it and slipped into a pair of black booties to subtly tone down the sex appeal of the leopard print lingerie. 

I felt as though the look was missing something so I decided to add just a touch of color with a teal pair of pompom earrings and matching cat-eye shades. My rhinestone "SEXY" choker necklace gave the look the perfect hint of dramatic flair.

Taisha stuck to a similar color palette for her look, choosing to don a sheer black dress over a black bralette and denim mini.

Seventies Street Style

Hello! I'm forever inspired by the seventies when styling looks so it's no surprise that I was instantly drawn to this free-spirited dress when I spotted it on eShakti's website. Its colorful floral embroidery and breezy sleeves definitely mimic the fashions that reigned supreme almost fifty years ago. Its retro influence paired with its flattering silhouette and versatile navy blue color make it quite the beauty.

I played up the vintage flair of the dress for this look by styling it with a platform pair of denim heels, a pretty green vintage purse and seventies-esque shades. A cheery pair of yellow pompom earrings added a touch of fun to the look.
