E! Style Collective member and E! News correspondent Alicia Quarles takes us behind the scenes at one of her latest photo shoots.
It was a denim denizen’s paradise, guys.
When the fabulous team from OK! Magazine reached out to me about doing a feature where I’d rock spring’s hottest denim looks, I jumped at the chance!
What true fashion lover wouldn’t be excited about getting to show off what we’ll all be wearing come spring. Horrible weather, begone!
Style tips inspired by Milan Fashion Week street style
I loved everything OK!‘s style director, Pandora Amoratis, and fashion and beauty assistant, Kayla Spear, showed me. Until, that is, I was faced with what had been my enemy for the past year: the overall jumpsuit.
You see, I’ve wanted to wear one for longest time and actually tried during the summer (#EpicFail). It made me ask: At 33, am I too old to try to sport this look?
“Nope,” said Pandora. “Face your fears and let’s do this!”
She paired mine with a bikini top, these beautiful Missoni Converse sneakers and bright necklaces.
TIPS: How to pack a clutch like a pro
I love how the photos turned out and learned a lesson for us all: Age ain’t nothing but a number. You can put on anything you want as long as you’re wearing happiness and confidence. So, you will be seeing me in overalls again. I ain’t scared.
In case you are, here are some tips straight from Pandora.
To look like a fashion star and not a farmer, opt for a figure-flattering silhouette and avoid pairing them with anything Western-inspired.
A cute pair of flats or sneakers will have you looking casually cool in the daytime and a killer heel will take the childhood fave into evening.
Overalls are a little masculine by design, so to balance that layer them over a fitted top or accessorize them with something feminine.
