How to Style :: Punk Fashion

Hi all!

As most of you may know this past Monday was the Met Gala, a.k.a the Oscars of the fashion industry with a lot more flair and risk taking when it comes to the red carpet looks, because it's the fashion industry and that's what we do ;)

Rather than show you a handful of pictures of what the celebs wore and go over who I believed was best/worst dressed (I'll leave that to Jena over on ChiCityFashion, she's always on point when reviewing red carpet looks), I thought I'd have a little fun with the theme of the night Punk: From Chaos to Couture, and create some punk rock inspired looks. I don't have anything remotely punk in my closet, so I put together a few collages of how I would rock punk fashion.

I hope you enjoy as I had a lot of fun creating a character for myself and putting these looks together :D

*Shop: River Island Green Floral Blazer / New Look Ramones Tee / DKNY Leather Paneled Leggings / Cotton On Fringe Bucket Bag / Rika Feather & Tooth Necklace / Boohoo Spike Bangle / ASOS Metallic Flatform Creeper / Kevyn Aucoin 'Blood Rose' Lip Color

I'm actually really into this look and could see myself wearing everything except for the creepers, I just can't get into them. There are few people who can completely rock creepers and I am definitely not one of them. However, I think they totally make this look and if I were to see a girl walking down the street in this ensemble I would think that chick was B.A. and would want to be her friend so she can pass me some of her cool street cred, haha!

*Shop: Joie Behati Dress / Rebecca Taylor Denim Vest / NastyGal Spike Necklace / Forever 21 Studded Wrap Bracelet / Need Supply Co Spectrum Bag (on sale for $33!) / Urban Outfitters Skull Ring / Dr. Martens

You know I had to style a look with some Doc's and I couldn't say no to these bubble gum pink studded pair. I like how the white eyelet dress and pink Dr. Martens make for a more feminine look while the added spikes, studs, skulls, and denim moto vest make her super edgy. Don't get me started on that hair, so fierce.

*Shop: Calypso St. Barth High Low Tee / Maison Scotch Tie Dye Jeans / Zara Ankle Buckle Boot / New Look Stud Bucket Bag / Club Manhattan Cuff Bracelet / Dorothy Perkins Spike Headband / Zara Studded Leather Belt / Deborah Lippmann 'Billionaire' Nail Color

This outfit is something I would totally wear if I were going to an indie rock concert. I'm obsessed with the Zara buckle boots and the Maison Scotch tie dye jeans give great depth and texture to the overall look.

So what do you think? Did I style punk right or was it a totally flop? How would you rock punk style?

Just another friendly reminder that we're moving this week! We ran into a couple of technical difficulties but we're back on track and I'd say expect to see a whole new space come Friday! I'm so excited to share it with you all :)

Hope you're having a great week so far, thanks for reading!
