Thank Goodness it’s Thursday!
So lately this angelic chanteuse has been making her rounds promoting her new “fragrance”, and I thought: who better to profile this week but….
…Mariah Carey?
While most Style Files exalt the chic of its subjects, Mariah Carey might need just a bit of help. Let’s see why:
Mariah’s wardrobe seems to consist exclusively of spandex and spiked heels. On or off the red carpet, you’ll catch her in dresses that are clingy…
…short…
…low cut…
…or otherwise suffocating…
Even in more casual situations, you’ll see her basically club ready in plunging necklines and sunglasses…
…mile high stilettos…
Or tight jeans…
…with even tighter tops.
Madame Mimi’s wardrobe exudes a bit of trash instead of class… so my first style suggestion would be to incorporate fabrics other than spandex into her wardrobe..say cotton or even wool? Also, she doesn’t have to kill it every time in low cut, short, and tight. She can achieve sexy with just short….
…while covering up her bosoms. Left to Right: Animal Print Illusion Dress, $148, www.ardenb.com; Democracy Puff-Sleeve Printed Jersey Dress, $124, www.macys.com; Karen Zambos Slit Tie Dress, $147, CoutureCandy
Or she can still go with a tight or low cut dress…
…that grazes the knees. These dresses work. Left to Right: Style & Co Printed Dress, $69, www.macys.com; Lotta Stensson Blue Shirred Jersey Dress, $72, www.bluefly.com; Silk Sweater Dress, $75, www.victoriassecret.com.
Of course you can have one or two freakum dresses in your quiver for a night out….
Left to Right: Guess Jeans Felina Dress, $98, www.guess.com; Paillette Knit Tank Dress, $129, www.bebe.com.
And don’t forget the peep toes!
Left to Right: Expected Stillettos, $110, www.guess.com; Hollywould Grace Peep Toe Pumps, $30, www.target.com.
Either way, I love her music. I have every single CD from Vision of Love up until Fantasy, and my Ipod has taken care of the others. What’s your fave Mimi song? I still get hyped off of ‘Make it Happen” and “Emotions”…
Smootches!
PS Aren’t those Hollywould for Target shoes cute…and cheap?!?!? Check out the whole collection here.
PSS I’ve gotten some *great* submissions so far for the reader style contest, but I’m greedy and I want more! You have about a week! Send em to me at thefashionbomb@gmail.com. I’ll keep an eye peeled! Also, I might have even more prizes to add to the mix…it’s worth it!
