Inspiration Board: Alicia - End In A Rainbow

Alicia's mini Instagram photoshoots let us get a broader view of her style than what we are limited to on WWE programming and for that, I am profoundly grateful! She is always experimenting, always pushing the envelope, always having fun with fashion and I adore her for it! It always thrills me to see what she's dreaming up :).  She has a flair for casual style, as we have seen with some of her WWE photoshoots, and she's happy to showcase that for us as well. This look, an easy, slouchy combination of a v-neck tee and destroyed denim, is quite simple, but it still has that je ne se quoi, due to the just-right selection of elements. We don't get to see her shoe choice, which got my fashion brain pondering: how would Foxy complete this look?  I can't help but feel that she would  interject a shot of her trademark personality. So, when doing denim+tee a la Foxy, how might we style it? For starters, the basic elements: your fave slouchy tee and blue denim. Avoid form-fitting tees here. For that Foxy-esque touch, you need laidback attitude, so go with something broken in, oversized or  boyfriend style. The v-neck is encouraged but not required. Stick with a neutral color - that will be important for what happens with accessories ;). There's a summery softness to Foxy's combo of blue denim with her gray top that I love. It's a muted background just made to set off some whimsicality. If you gravitate toward something a  bit sharper, go with black denim. Be sure to have a black or gray casual jacket on hand for air conditioning or chilly nights, instead of the classic blue denim piece used above. Go for a slim silhouette, or roll looser fits to 2 inches above your ankle.  Ok: tee, jeans, jacket = done. Now, for the fun part! A few short moments of stylish contemplation had me certain that Foxy would finish this look with a colorful shoe.  For summer, she might have gone with the striped wedges she wore for her Diva Day Off 'shoot. Or, be-tasselled multi-colored sandals may have been the Lady Fierce's choice. Since we're in the "season" of transitional dressing, sandals are still do-able. Alternatively, consider a pump of many colors (and maybe some sequins! :) ...ok, who said that?) or, give one of fall's hottest trends a try and go for embroidered booties - how yummy are those?! Check your shoe closet for anything off the beaten path, anything you felt was a tad too wild to deal with on a daily basis: those gorgeous but insane embellished Western boots you bought because you loved them but have no clue how to wear (clue procured! :)) (note: if they're above high-ankle height, tuck your jeans into them instead of rolling), those unrealisitically-colored animal-print pumps that you thought were sooooooo cool when you first bought them years ago, madly floral sandals, rainbow-hued sneakers, iridescent peeptoe pumps you bought for your prom and never wore again...anything that's uncommon, extraordinary, attention-grabbing - however you do that, that's what you're looking for here. And the key is that because you're setting it against such a simple, casual, edited background, the crazy isn't crazy...it's just spicy. Or, crazy like a super-stylish Lady Fox ;)
