"Chic Orange"- Challenge/Reto

 

 Today's look is part of our bi-weekly challenge participation. The challenge was to create a monochromatic look. We though that this weeks challenge would be a bit more difficult to achieve even though it seemed pretty cut and clear- all the same color. We had to make sure we could style an up to date look that was season appropriate and had the Sol Sisters flair.

We found the skirt in Liz's closet and loved the color and luckily on her recent trip to Mexico she did some great shopping and without even knowing it picked up a few more pieces including the leather jacket and blouse in this amazing eye catching hot orange. The three pieces looked great together and the final touches like the earings and heels created modern chic look.

El look de hoy es parte del reto en que participamos cada dos semanas. El reto fue de crear un look monocromatico. Pensamos que el reto de esta semana iba a ser un poco mas dificil de crear aunque parece ser claro-todo del mismo color. Tuvimos que asegurarnos que el estilo fuera moderno, de acuerdo a la temporada y que tuviera el toque de Sol Sisters.

La falda la encontramos en el guardaropa de Liz y nos encanto el color,  afortunadamente en su viaje mas reciente a Mexico compro varias piezas que incluyen  la chamara de cuero y la blusa en el mismo color naranja llamativo. Las tres piezas principales se veian geniales juntas y los toques finales fueron los aretes y las zapatillas creando un look muy chic.

Sol Sisters Sidekick-Melissa

Hello dolls...its Sol Sisters Sidekick time! This Sidekick session is with our beautiful friend Melissa...she has such a fun and girly spirit that we knew she would be so fun to style and shoot. From the very begining she was open to us putting her in and taking her out of a number of pieces as we worked the styling details of her look (thank you Meli for being so patient).

Our look took a turn when we found these boots in her closet! She began to tell us that even though she loved them, they had never been worn... at that moment we knew we had our starting point. This fun studded sheer top also caught our eye so to finish off the look we paired it with denim shorts and a pair of black pantyhose to give it a more fall look. Simply add a leather jacket and you've got a great night out!

Thank you Melissa...your awesome!!

Hola lindas...aqui les traemos otra seción de Sol Sisters Sidekick! Esta seción fue con nuestra hermosa amiga Melissa...teniendo un espiritu tan alegre supimos que seria divertido hacer esta colaboracion con ella. Desde el comienzo nos permitio ponerle y quitarle multitud de piezas mientras finalizabamos los detalles del look (gracias Meli por ser tan paciente).

Nos llenamos de emocion al encontrar estos lindos botines rojos en su guardaropa...y cuando nos comento Melissa que le encantaban pero que nunca los habia usado supimos que seria nuestra pieza principal! La blusa con tachuelas pequeñas y los jean shorts fueron la perfecta combinacion para los llamativos botines. Finalizamos con unas medias negras creando un look mas apropiado para el otoño. Simplemente agrega una chamara de cuero y tienes un look perfecto para salir de noche!

Gracias Melissa...eres maravillosa!

Challenge/Reto- A Little Baroque

We can't stop smiling! The weather is just so perfect right now...a little bit of wind, a little bit of rain and lots of cold! It finally feels like fall/winter here for us...we hope everyone is staying cozy!


This look was part of another challenge we participated in hosted by the lovely ladies at Nany's Klozet, Flor De Maria Fashion and Ashes into Fashion. The challenge was to wear something "baroque". Liz was traveling out of the country so we wanted the look to have that baroque element but also be versatile for her trip. The top was our main star in the look, a large scale black and white traditional print offering that baroque touch but in a more casual feel. Taking advantage of the neutral colors in the top we added these red colored skinnies, and although they are bright and bold they are also a great transitioning color for fall/winter. We finished off the look with the faux leather jacket, cute tweed flats and a few silver accessories.

Balancing "comfort" and "cute" in a travel outfit can sometimes be a challenge... don't you think? Which is more important to you?

El clima esta perfecto hoy...y no podemos dejar de sonreir! Con este frio ya se siente como invierno...esperamos que todas se mantengan calientitas!

Participamos una vez mas en el reto que organizaron las lindas chicas de Nany's Klozet, Flor De Maria Fashion y Ashes into Fashion. El reto consistio de utilizar una prenda con estilo "barroco".  Esta vez Liz estaria viajando fuera del pais por lo cual quisimos que el look tuviera el elemento barroco al igual que fuera lo suficientemente comodo para su viaje. La blusa fue neustra prenda principal, con un estampado grande y tradicional en blanco y negro creando este estilo barroco pero en una prenda mas casual. A la blusa neutral le agregamos estos pantalones color rojo, y aunque son un poco brillante tambien son un buen color para usar en otoño/invierno. Ternminamos el look con una chaqueta de cuero en negro, estos lindos zapatos con detalle y accesorios color plata.

Mantener un balance de "comodo" y "lindo" al vestirte cuando vas a viajar puede ser un reto...no crees? Cual es mas importante para ti?

Sol Sisters Sidekick-Abilene

We could say that doing the Sidekick segment is one of our favorite things about the blog. It is such a fun experience every time because our sidekicks love fashion as much as we do and are always willing to be a white canvas for us. Abilene has such a fun spirit and that always shows through in her style. It was so easy to photograph her (she is a total natural) especially because we think she is so gorgeous!

We wanted to create more of a fall look so when we picked out her leather jacket we knew it would be our starting point. We felt a pop of color was necessary and loved the contrast of the green top against the black. The scarf added a great visual texture and introduced another great fall color-grey. To finish off the look we added these fun ankle boots and studded clutch.

Thank you Abilene,
We can't wait to shoot you again!

xoxo Sol Sisters

El segmento de Sol Sisters Sidekick (Complice de Sol Sisters) es uno de nuestros favoritos en el blog. La experiencia en general es super divertida y nuestras sidekicks les fascina la moda al mismo grado que a nosotras y siempre estan dispuestas a ser nuestro canvas blanco. Abilene tiene un espiritu divertido y siempre se proyecta en su estilo. Fotografiarla fue super facil (le viene naturalmente) ya que es hermosa!

Quisimos crear un look de Otono que cuando vimos su chamarra de cuero se nos hizo facil empezar ahi. Sentimos que el anadir un contraste de color era necesario y nos fascino el contraste de la blusa verde con el negro. La panoleta anadio una textura visual e introdujo otro gran color para el Otono. Para finalizar el look anadimos los botines y el bolso de tachuelas.

Gracias Abilene,
Esperemos repetir pronto la sesion!
