So many lovely things going on in these shots. If you haven’t noticed, I’ve had an obsession with sheer which leaves me with so many options to wear. I find it so sexy yet demure wearing this AA tunic blouse as a dress with a pair of high waist bloomers and my favorite demi bra. I’m also adoring my new hat from Labels Consignment in Berkeley. It suits my style perfectly with a bit demure, a little age and a lot of sass. The most special thing about these photographs are Jay Adam’s beautiful touches. This man captures beauty I could never imagine- he makes me feel so significant to his art. Do you bloggers work with photographers that just take your breath away? Check out more of his work here.

I’ve always looked up to Dorothy Dandridge for her demure yet sexy appeal. She was this gorgeous, radiant woman throughout her acting career and I’ve always wanted to capture her essence. I was sitting across from these steps the day before Jay and I shot and I had this flashback to her life (depicted in the life story casted to Halle Berry, 1999), where she’s walking down steps, looking magical and sunkissed. I instantly texted Jay and said we HAD TO SHOOT HERE and just like that, Jay created exactly what I wanted to capture.

    Girl, you have never looked prettier. Stunning. Love your outrageous curls, the lipstick, the long pendant, with the sheer tunic paired with tight leggings underneath. There’s so much balance to this outfit, it’s genius!

    • http://www.profreshstyle.com Profresh Style

      Aww thanks mama. Ya those bloomers are surely my fave bottoms. I will say though that the are “coochie-cutter” short so they can be only worn with tights. Otherwise, you would see lots of bottom-ass. lol.

  • http://iplayfaves.blogspot.com iplayfaves

    Viva sheer! I am all for it. I am reminded of you asking Mickey Boardman about his thoughts on sheer….lolz.

    • http://www.profreshstyle.com Profresh Style

      LOL. Omg, I totally forgot I asked Mickey that. Now I feel ashamed….ya right. HAHA. But he did say I pull off sheer well. He said he was confused on how we wear bras. LMAO

    girl, you really do wear your litas all the time!

    • http://www.profreshstyle.com Profresh Style

      LOL! I do, I swear. These shoes don’t leave my feet. I can’t help it now. They are my only comfortable pair. Plus I’m like 6’1″ in these lmao.

    Love the layering and the more I see you in those Litas, the more convinced I become that I need them in my life. Just voted for you!
    Dorothy Dandridge was such classy and exquisite beauty. She was stunning in Carmen Jones.

    • http://www.profreshstyle.com Profresh Style

      LOL. Yes, the Litas are amazing, pretty much the comfiest shoes I own. They aren’t the most attractive tho, they don’t do anything for the legs but I love the height and I feel like the taller I am, the skinnier I look. LOL.

      OMG, one of my favorites!

  • jackie

    I love the sheer over the bloomers over the tights!! I have these polka dotted hotpants that feel way too short to wear out but the sheer shirt overneath makes it totally wearable.
