This was my last and most favorite style from Chicago’s Fashion Week! It took place at Baderbrau with over 250 guests in attendance. It was by far the best show we have ever had.
My outfit was a red, velvet cat suit with floral ankle strap heels, and it was fire. It had to be, because I hosted the show! When I arrived, I got my makeup done by @bridgedamper_mua. It turned out to be amazing makeup for camera. My hair was curled and styled by @clifffreemanhair, and it looked so voluminous! Next, I was interviewed by GyrlVersion on the red carpet. I spoke on behalf of my blog and my experience with fashion week. They posted bloopers from our interview, and you don’t want to miss it. You can check out my bloopers at @gyrlversion on Instagram and the full video here. I thought I was just hosting the red carpet, but I was told ten minutes before the show started that I would be hosting the show. Thankfully, I’m so familiar with fashion week that it was easy. We had four designers, one of them being Phomaz – a hand bag design. There were also four designs by students! Now, for the outfit details: Jumpsuit: I actually bought this jumpsuit for New Year’s Eve, because I knew it would be freezing. If you remember, it was like negative thirty degrees. The jumpsuit kept me cozy. I stumbled upon a new store called Rainbow in Uptown one day. It has a ton of cheap clothing, so I fell in love. Think of a Ross meets Discovery. Price: $15 Shoes: I got these shoes at a discount store, too! I have no idea what the store is or the brand, but I had been looking for ankle strap shoes for a while. I had a hard time find the perfect shoes to go with this outfit. My shoes had to be short, because it would have ruined the jumpsuit otherwise, and I wanted them to be strappy, because the jumpsuit was overwhelming with solid red color. It was between these and all-black strappy shoes. I went with these, because I wanted to bring some pattern to my outfit, plus they were new. Price: $3 Accessories: Originally, I had a choker that I wanted to wear with this outfit, but in all honesty, I wasn’t feeling the skinniest. Since my jumpsuit was a solid color, I felt like it made me look bigger and that eyes would be drawn to my hips. So, I went with a long gold necklace to pull attention inwards towards the middle of my body. I felt a lot more comfortable after that. Price: FREE, because it came with a shirt. Total: $17 All in all, it was a great fashion week! Keep an eye out for our next fashion week in October! Love, Miz Mak
