I would suggest still choosing a simple top but maybe in a color depending on which background you choose. White can also be a powerful "color" on someone with your amazing skin and hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-dress-up#post-1753392 Wed, 23 Nov 2016 19:26:31 +0000 Musicnstyle 1753392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey All!!

It totally puts good words to the vague thoughts I have about how accessories can change an outfit completely </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-dress-up#post-1752763 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 22:37:42 +0000 Elle 1752763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful. &nbsp;I agree that texture (leather/suede/velvet) can really bump up your style. &nbsp;Or you could try changing your accessories - adding a distinctive belt, &nbsp;colorful heels, different boots, metallic cuff or something sparkly. &nbsp; Sometimes, small changes are powerful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-dress-up#post-1752752 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 21:55:02 +0000 Musicnstyle 1752752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

My boyfriend is a musician, and he finds it helpful if his look sort of portrays his music. He has several different types of outfits for different bands he plays with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-dress-up#post-1752690 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 19:38:12 +0000 cindysmith 1752690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG you could wear a burlap sack and look fabulous (especially since you are a musician and musicians can get away with all sorts of stuff fashion-wise). you look stunning in just a black tank top and a pair of jeans.&nbsp; Because you are a musician, you could probably get away with anything, so you could indulge your fantasies for a photo shoot if you wanted to.</p> <p>If I knew what you liked to wear in everyday life, I could maybe suggest more specific ideas based on that; here are some general thoughts, at least.</p> <p>IMO, there's nothing wrong with the "bland" look--I don't think it's bland; maybe you could try adding different accessories? (Bland to me is an oatmeal colored dress that has no shape, with some plain brown shoes, hair pulled back in a severe bun or ponytail, and no accessories to add interest). A statement necklace would change the look of the "bland" outfit, or an armful of bangle bracelets. I'd say a hat could change the tone of the "bland" outfit, but that would hide that glorious hair.</p> <p>For me, the key to "dressing up" is fit. Almost anything looks polished if it's been tailored to fit me like it might have been made for me. I don't see any fit issues in your website pic, so that's good.</p> <p>Textures can add richness to an otherwise "plain" outfit. You could try a velvet, or a suede; leather, fur (or faux fur); or any number of other types of textures to add some interest and keep the eye moving to different parts of the photo.</p> <p>For some specific pointers: even adding a bad ass leather jacket to the "bland" look would kick it up several notches. If you like black and want to stick with it, something in a black suede (or faux suede) would be an interesting top.</p> <p>With your complexion and hair, a saturated bright color would look amazing. Even the same style tank top in a bright color would look completely different from that black tank. Listening to the song, I would definitely suggest color. Nothing wrong with black; it's just that black is often seen as serious or moody, and the song is light and upbeat which to me calls for color. A strong, powerful color; a bold color. Of course, that's just my opinion, so there is that.</p> <p>Hopefully, some other ladies can give you some more specific pointers. Good luck with the photo shoot and your career! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-dress-up#post-1752685 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 18:48:59 +0000 Musicnstyle 1752685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all!
