Dramatic? Pfft! I prefer heathen! - Style Personalities Part II

Personal style is not something that is just in the air. It is something you have and that you apply to yourself.
Paloma Picasso
Just in case you missed yesterday's post, do yourself a favor and go back and catch-up as I provided a lot of back ground information on style personalities that set the foundation for the remainder of the fashion articles this week, including this one.  For the second post in the style personality series I am going to discuss the Dramatic style because it happens to be the broadest category, and it also happens to make up the basis of many of the personality combinations that exist, as very few people are clearly and succinctly one style.

The Dramatic woman loves to make a statement every time she gets dressed.  She adores bold, geometric and abstract prints, combined with striking, bright color mixes for her accessories and foundation pieces, with plenty of black and white to always keep the contrast alive in her wardrobe.  Crisp, extreme cuts with very little curve hugging materials and large, often distracting jewelry that always makes a statement and catches the eye of anyone who looks her way.  A penultimate example of the Dramatic woman is Cher.  Since the first time she strutted on stage during the Sonny and Cher show in her custom made Bob Mackie gowns, and long, lean body with striking features she has epitomized the Dramatic style personality.  And in my own personal opinion, when women dress up we have a tendency to have a little bit of Cher in all of us, which is why the Dramatic style finds it's way into even the most feminine of women.


Today I am featuring a stunning new ensemble from Virtual Diva and jewels from Atomic Faery, currently exclusively available at Penumbra's AW'16 Fashion Week.  The Emotion outfit is one of several offerings from Virtual Diva that are sure to blow you away, and I have a feeling jump right off the rack into your closet.  The ensemble comes complete with Fedora, Top with appliers and standard layers, skirt in a wide variety of sizes, and off the shoulder jacket all for a very affordable price.  While at the event make sure to drop by Atomic Faery's location and pick up some amazing new jewels to accompany your gorgeous new outfits.  Dress them up, dress them down, either way they are perfectly crafted with absolutely stunning jewel textures that have to be seen to be truly appreciated!

This ensemble actually fits into two style personalities with its classically styled hat and skirt but dances into the Dramatic with the stark black and white coloring with bold pattern combinations, making it a wonderful mix of the two styles, which I happen to truly adore!  Remember not everyone fits into one personality, and on an everyday basis I fit into two, but add in formal occasions and suddenly I fit into three.  It is about finding your main style, and buying the fashions that fit into it keeping you comfortable and able to explore the other sides of your personality for your accessories or that one wild outfit!  Stay true to your style and remember to always make the trends in fashion and home decor work for you!

(You knew I was going to toss in a Cher video, didn't you?!  Had to find a live one to show off the incredibly dramatic ensembles she wears.  She is a Goddess!)
