Angel Wing Cut-out Top : Fly Away


"The man who has no imagination has no wings."

-Muhammad Ali  

Every once in a while we all wish we could escape the world and fly away. Spread our wings and soar off to a land of dreams
 and relaxation. I took a moment the other day after school to 'wing up' and have some fun taking outfit photos. I'm always 
excited when a new season rolls around and I have the opportunity to expand my ever growing wardrobe. Recently, our online
 purchases have begun to build up, as Tara and I have been busy with school and uni. So we set aside a special afternoon 
making an effort to hit the pause button on life and enjoy snapping some shots to show off the latest new additions to the 
SSC wardrobe. 

The idea behind this outfit was how to wear black on black. I'm always hesitant when trying to style a 'blackout' look, it can so 
easily turn out dull. My key tips are to use texture (such as my lace shorts) and interesting shapes (my cut out winged top). 
To finish the look I added red lipstick and cut out boots to compliment the tee. So despite the all black theme to my outfit,
 I really love how it turned out; not dull at all!

I've been tempted to try a cut out angel wing DIY top for a while now, but when Tara and I found one on Chicnova, we couldn't
 resist its charm! Were thinking we might use it as a template to make more in a similar style, 
its adds such flare to an outfit!

 P.S from Tara: this angel winged look was the part of the original concepts for my  DIY cutout tshirt
I ended up going with a different idea (a more rib cage look since I couldn't figure out the exact 
design to fit my angel wing dreams). But yay now I have the tshirt I always wanted haha #loveit
