Final AMSB Challenge: Tie-Dye Leggings
The fifth and final challenge for America’s Most Stylish Blogger involved a pair of tie-dye leggings by Plan B, courtesy of Bluefly. I’m a huge fan of all kinds of legwear, even dramatic as seen with the fabulous panelled leggings I snagged from I Heart Norwegian Wood over the summer. However, for this challenge, I ended up choosing a look from pieces I already owned that involved layering my DIY slashed leggings overtop of the tie-dye. For more details on the thought process, read my my post at StyleList.
Wearing:
- Tank dress: A birthday gift from the lovely Sara Seumae
- Jacket: Zara
- Leggings: DIY + Bluefly
- Platform sandals: Also
- Necklace: Studio (on 47th and Lex in NYC…new fav necklace)
This week’s guest judge on the StyleList challenge critique, hosted by Melissa Foss, was Adam Lippes! While all the judges have my respect for different reasons, I was happy to hear him talk about embracing personal style, which made me adore him even more! For me, that’s what this challenge has been about and it wouldn’t be able to work otherwise. In my non-expert opinion, there is no “right” way in fashion - it’s self expression. Check out the video to see what he had to say about each look.
The Back-Up Option…
Wearing (aside from pieces already described):
- Top: Lauren Moshi via Manhattanite
- Cuff: Birthday gift last summer from the amazing Jess Estrada
- Zipper bracelet: Studio (same shop as the necklace in the look above)
- Necklace: Forever 21

Those little sandals are suuuuper hot. I also think that layers toned down those leggings a lot. Which is AWESOME. You look super! xo

I love the looks you put together and I think you’re a lot more creative and fashion-forward than the rest of the bloggers… in other words, I think that the looks they put together are too safe and boring, whereas, yours are revolutionary and that’s what this contest should be about. P.S. Did you notice how 1 of the other bloggers is copying your shoe additions with the jewelery?? BITERS!! haha. Love you and the hair looks hotttt!!

Your hair looks great and Hell yes with the sexy poses! Way to rock it girl. I love those black leggings, but you already know that. Even though I like the second look am glad that you submitted the first look. The jean jacket and the necklace look great with it. Good Luck sweets and you know am voting!!!

I think its so great you dont just wear them but do something different. I think you are my favourite because your concept of fashion is bigger than just putting on clothes.
xx and good luck!

Love the layering concept. You hair looks fantastic too, is this a first for the darker look? I love it.
Hope you had a wonderful holiday!

I need to have those shoes. As a plus size girl I tend to favour wedge shoes over regular pumps. Where could I purchase them? What is the brand?
Thanks a million!
