I'll admit I haven't been fully styling myself every day while quarantined. And I miss it. I know I *could* get in a head-to-toe look each day, but it's really, really, REALLY cold in my studio right now and "dressed warm enough to survive" is all the energy I've been able to put into my own outfits. While sequestered in my thermal leggings and puffy vests, I decided to stretch my styling muscles by putting together a fun style guide digitally. We are doing everything digitally/virtually these days, so this felt quite natural. #quarantinelife y'all.

I created ten different fully styled head-to-toe looks and all of them incorporate one of my very favorite pieces in the shop: the Artifice Harness. 

Outfit #1: This look starts with a basic pair of coveralls that screams comfort and then accessorizes into a total uplevel of chic. Zero percent boring. One hundred percent chill. You're that breezy, effortless person walking down the street that everyone envies. You're easy confidence. You're style without trying. Congratulations. You've done it. 🏆

Outfit #2: Love feeling like LUXURY? Mmhmm, me too, me too. This sumptuous outfit has me feelin' all the luxe feels. Even though I want you to be as opulently femme as you wanna be, I made sure to include a mix of price points and even added in a couple local (Omaha) handmade shops that I love. Support a dream *and* look like a dream, right?? 🤎

Outfit #3: I love a suit with shorts. I know not everyone agrees with this sentiment, but the heart wants what the heart wants and my heart 1000% wants a cutie pie patterned shorts suit. Shame on me for ever muttering the phrase "...but menswear is so boring" because just look at all these exciting beauties playing together! 👓

Outfit #4: I call this look The Comfort Queen. Everything looks so cozy but still makes a cute, cohesive look. I love to FEEL like I'm in pajamas but never LOOK like I'm in pajamas. Plus, I'm obsessed with red+teal lately so I had to make a look based on this color scheme. It came together perfectly. Outfit #4, I love you. 🖤

Outfit #5: This look gives off total sexpot vibes. Do you love to adorn yourself with a lot of special pieces but not have a lot of coverage? I got you covered.....figuratively speaking. Out of all the harnesses I offer, this style is the one that my customers report that they wear it with very little else. I'm sure all my harnesses are enjoyed this way, but something about the Artifice Harness encourages my customers to tell me about their leather-clad adventures. I *love* that you all feel super empowered in this piece. It's a good one. Keep enjoying yourself, your body, your sensuality, and your sexuality. You are sexy inspirations to me always. 😈🌹💎🖤

Outfit #6: Pattern on pattern...on pattern on pattern. Fight me. I wanted all four of these patterns in this outfit and I have no regrets. This look has such a nice mix of neutrals+colors and also whimsy+classic, so it all works. Plus, SOCKS+SANDALS.....fight me again. I do what I want. 🧶🐒

Outfit #7: It's a little bit business, and a little bit party.....just like you. I would bet it's not possible to have a bad day in this outfit. Power pants, magenta velvet, AND iridescent boots?! Yeah....you're gonna have a super-powered day in this one. Please use your powers for good. ⚡️💓👁‍🗨

Outfit #8: Am I just creating visual wishlists for myself? Perhaps. Probably. Yes. I want everything here on my body NOW! This look is just fun. I styled this for someone who doesn't take fashion so seriously. Getting dressed should be fun and they are having the most. Color! Pattern! Kitsch! 🙃

Outfit #9: I've gone from being anti t-shirt to styling them into most my outfits. I've seen the light and I understand the glory of the tee. Plus, if you pair a tee with a suit, you radiate badass rock'n'roll vibes. This particular tee was designed by my tattoo artist and friend Dave Koenig and everything he does is badass. Can't go wrong with this look. 🤘

Outfit #10: This is the final look in this styling series. I'd say I saved the best for last, but I've already deemed every outfit the best, so it's hard to tell. I sure do love a badass femme look though. I always say you can make ANY outfit a good outfit if you have a pair of great boots and enough accessories. Luckily, this one starts out pretty killer AND we have great boots plus plenty of amazing accessories. ✨

That's all ten of the looks I put together with the Artifice Harness. Seeing all of these has me so inspired! I would wear ten out of ten of these. I want to run to my closet and put ten of my own outfits together with my harness!
