In Celebration of the Black Bleeding Heart

The second picture is a collage of how I planned to style this sleek evening gown by Valdrin Sahiti and was inspired by the black Bleeding Heart flower. I chose the diamond and pearl earrings to accentuate the white lined neckline. I also like classic diamonds and pearls with black dresses. I chose the high heels for their crystal embellishments on the straps over the toes. I chose the black and white beaded evening bag to repeat the black and white of the gown's neckline. I chose the diamond bracelet because it is similar to the diamond design of the earrings. 



The third picture is a collage of how my Readers on my Facebook page styled the gown. I appreciate them continuing to play my Style Challenges.

In Celebration of Freesias

The first collage is how I planned to style the floral evening gown inspired by multicolored Freesias. I chose the earrings because they repeated the colors of the flowers in the gown. I chose the open toe slingback heels for the colorful jewel trim. I chose the evening bag because it's called "Watercolors" by Judith Leiber and is completely covered in crystals. It also repeats the colors in the gown which looks like a watercolor print. I chose the cocktail ring because it includes all the colors in the flowers and gown.๐Ÿ’

The second collage is how my Kentucky Fashion Facebook Readers chose to accessorize the floral evening gown. I think they always make good choices. The style challenges have become a favorite of my Top Fans as well as my new fans. I appreciate them playing along! ๐Ÿ’

In Celebration of Astrantia

The Astrantia flower was my inspiration for this ensemble collage. The draped, one shoulder design of the evening gown and the embellishments that swirl around the bodice remind me of flower petals. The flower looks frozen in the photo but it actually has rain drops on the petals. I chose the marquis cut diamond earrings to repeat the pattern of the flower petals. I chose the crystal embellished evening bag to mimic the look of ice on the flowers. I chose the crystal embellished heels with their spiky floral decoration because they too resembled ice. I chose the marquis cut stone ring for it's colors and to repeat the shape of the stones in the earrings.๐Ÿ’œ 
This collage was styled by my Lovely Readers of my Kentucky Fashion Facebook page. I think they did a beautiful job styling this stunning lavender evening gown.๐Ÿ’œ

In Celebration of the Chrysanthemum

My Lovely Readers have created a beautiful evening ensemble again with their choice of accessories. I was inspired by this bright yellow Chrysanthemum and was thrilled to find a unique evening gown that mimics the pointed petals of the flower. The earrings that my Readers chose repeat the design of the bodice of the gown. The heels are actually sheer overall but have an interesting embellishment on the toes that resembles flowers. The evening bag repeats the yellow color and floral design. The amazing floral cocktail ring accentuates the gown and repeats our floral theme. The second collage is how I had planned to style the evening gown.๐Ÿ’›
