Destructed White POW: Pretty in Pink & Pearls Sunday Best
/Outfit Mission Statement: Dress your destructed denim up for a special occasion look with fancy, feminine pieces for a pretty, edgy, feminine, and comfortable outfit!
Sunday Best POW outfits are special occasion clothes for dinning, theater, opera, holiday parties, church, and other such occasions that need something special. The POW (Piece of the Week) is the cabi Spring 2016 Destructed Slim Boyfriend jeans. Ripped jeans are not what some of us would think of as an appropriate special occasion look. But, you can dress them up to make them work for at least some special occasions. The trick, as with any casual piece, is to combine it with dressier pieces, even over-the-top dressy pieces. Together the outfit averages dressier. Plus, it can be fun to mix pretty with edgy and dressy with casual! Still, these jeans may now work in some special occasion situations. If you cannot do destructed, consider replacing these with white jeans. If you cannot do jean, consider replacing these with white linen pants, such as the Piazza Pant.
But, if you can do destructed white jeans for your special occasion, this outfit can be a lot of fun to rock! You can be pretty, edgy, feminine, and comfortable all at the same time! This may be one of my favorite outfits I’ve done here (and it is one of my favorite sets of photos!).
Tips:
- Dress up your destructed jeans with fancy, dressy pieces; you can even go over the top if you want!
- Play off the edgy destructed look with feminine, pretty pieces—think pinks, pearls, and sparkles
- Grab a pretty shawl to keep you warm in places with two much AC or cooler nights (plus it adds to the dressiness)
- Add a designer clutch or wristlet in a pretty matching color to add style (and convenience)
- Dress your feet up in those sparkly, special occasion shoes and roll up your jeans to show them off
- Put your hair up in a pretty hair accessory for an added touch of class & sophistication (plus you can show off your shoulders)
- Look for dressy accessories with special touches, like ribbon bows in the back, for added touches of fancy
- Choose a peplum top with a gentle ruffle bottom to hide any tummy issues and add more femininity
