Ocean's 8 Project - Lou Style Capture

I thought that I would never write another blog post. I figured that, that passion was over but they found a way to wheel me back in. I haven't written a blog post in so long. I felt that I wasn't up to the challenge of opening that box again. But you can't hold yourself back from your talents no matter how long they have been left behind.

Oceans 8

Just like in Oceans 8 I was recruited to show representation of a full figured menswear wearing bad ass. Me and a few of my blogger and influencer friends combined in a collaboration of a lifetime. Taking on the roles of these dynamic characters I felt confident as I went through out the day as The Right Hand Lou.

In Oceans 8 Lou finds out that her head chica in charge Debbie Ocean is back from the slammer after 5 long years and her services of being a total bad ass is needed.

And as The Right Hand Lou and the infamous Debbie Ocean (Jonquel) go on a fabulous trip recruiting the best of the best to pull off the heist of the century.

Lou's style is the embodiment of the attitude that is Lou.

Menswear is classic, clean and powerful. These sequined tuxedo pants are jammed packed with stealing the show.

Lou's classic but edgy style could'nt get any better until it did with the accessories. The black tie put the entire look together with layers of gold chains, rings a statement bracelet and a gold watch. 

All pieces (on the right) were C/O Torrid

The chains, sunglasses and rings to your right are all C/O Torrid 

All of the other jewelry to your left are personal pieces of mine. 

Jacket C/O Astra Signature 

I added the bralette for my own personal touch and the super posh jacket was sponsored by Astra Signature.

The cut and the design of the jacket is everything. The fit is perfect and it's so versatile. You could dress up with a pair of statement pants and a blouse or it dress down with a tee and a pair of denim. I love how the gold buttons add more glam against the lush black velvet. 

A jacket worth having all year round.

I loved being apart of this collaboration. I had so much fun and everyone was so in sync and spot on in their cosplay.

I loved every moment as Lou. I was confident and felt like I could take on any challenge that came my way. 

The fact that we did it together made it all the more rewarding.
