"WHO'S THAT GIRL?" EDITORIAL FOR GMARO MAGAZINE'S DECEMBER 2020 #17 ISSUE, STYLED BY SHARRA GREENE, FEATURING MICHELLE GRACIE, PHOTOGRAPHED BY DAMON RICE, MAKEUP BY TEASHERA SMITH

Just dropping by the blog to share my faves from my latest editorial for GMARO Magazine’s December 2020 #17 Issue, along with amazing team, Photographer Damon Rice, Model, Writer, & Actress Michelle Gracie, and Makeup Artist Teashera Smith.

The inspiration for this shoot was inspired by Coco Chanel’s quote “Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.” Michelle has such a vibrant spirit and a heart of gold with billion dollar ambitions so I let that fire that she exudes when it comes to her career goals, inspire my style direction for her by adding in luxurious textures and bold colors in eye catching prints.

Damon was a master at capturing her at all the right moments and helping scout the most amazing locations for each look. Teashera gave us a classic yet timeless beat with a killer cat eye.

3 FLY TRANSITIONAL LOOK COMBOS TO WEAR IN IFFY WEATHER

STYLED BY SHARRA 

So, I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been inspired to do a closet audit! Something about Spring makes us want to start fresh and level up, especially style wise!

One thing about March is that the weather is still usually pretty inconsistent. It can be really chilly one day but warm and sunny af the next. The good thing about early Spring though is that you can mix both Winter and Spring staples to create a look that’s interesting and unique, while still being season appropriate. Think mixing vibrant colors with traditional Fall boots, pairing cozy spring trousers with sexy open toe sandals on sunny days, and adding eye catching prints to dark ensembles.

Stay ahead of the curve with a few of my personal fave chic styles that you can easily layer (or unlayer) when adapting your wardrobe to the weather, along with my style guides on how you can rock each one.

(P.S. I've curated similar shopping links for you to shop since the app that I originally created these looks on is no longer available!)

ALL BLACK & A POP OF COLOR

Shop a similar look: satin bralette, printed ruffle skirt, patent leather booties, suede boots, Chanel earrings, sleek clutch.

Bold patterns in bright colors scream Spring. But what happens when Spring is not quite in full bloom? That’s when I like to tone down my favorite vibrant pieces with darker shoes and accessories.

How to Wear it: Pair a busy printed bottom with a sexy top make it season appropriate with sleek boots. If it’s chilly, you can layer it with a cropped leather jacket, which still shows off your shape while keeping your arms warm.

CARGO PANTS + ANKLE BOOTS

Shop a similar look: bardot top, cargo pants, gold bag, ankle boots, necklace.

Lounge pants with a bomb heel is my go to “dressy-cas” vibe. Pairing khaki and olive tones with lively yellows and golds can Spring up a dull look.

How to Wear it: If you go slouchy on the bottom, go bodycon up top, and vise versa. Choose an ankle boot or open toe sandal to show off the hem of your pants of choice. Build up the look with metallic accessories.

OFF THE SHOULDER TOPS + LEATHER BOTTOMS

Shop a similar look: off shoulder blouse, faux leather mini skirt with floral embroidery, gold fringe earrings, black lace up choker, bangles, thigh high boots.

     Okay, these BETTER stick around because my closet is full of 'em! Always classy and charming, with a hint of sultry, off the shoulder tops are a never-ending closet must-have. It gives you the best of both worlds, covering up your arms while showing some shoulder. The interesting texture of leather skirts, shorts, and pants, can give your flirty tops some edge.

How To Wear it: Add on a pair of drop earrings to draw attention to your bare shoulder. Throw in pops of warm colors to show you’re ready for the Spring.

Mixing separates like these can drastically increase the shelf life of your wardrobe during the in between seasons! #styledbysharra
