126 / FALL INSPIRATION: THE GLAMOUREST LIFE

When most people talk about glamour, old Hollywood images of Marilyn Monroe, hourglass shapes, and soft wavy hair instantly come to mind. I can’t ever see myself glammed out like that so I lean towards a more roughed up version, with a lot more sequins and much shorter hem lines. Distastefully short skirts, opaque tights, and blazers of all kinds, that is my winter default outfit every year. I am always drawn to outfits that border the line of being cute or trashy. This is (sometimes) perfectly executed by Taylor Momsen and (the old) Courtney Love. What can I say, I love a good mess.

My idea of glamour contains sequins, leather, lace, satin, garter belts, faux fur, gold jewelry, black boots, red lipstick, and disheveled hair. So I’ve been scouring the internet, picking out things that I can add to my closet to achieve this look.
