Shopping with my girls - Character style

If there is one thing I love more than a good story, it's a great outfit.  Well, let's call it a tie at least.  So dreaming up outfits for my characters is a natural marriage of my two of my favorite things. This was more fun than it should have been for a grown woman!  I suppose my paper doll days are still with me. Check out what my girls are sporting this season.

Rory Campbell from my upcoming release Polished is an optimist at heart.  Her big heart is out there for everyone to see.  She'd totally wear bright sunny colors with a breezy casual spin.  Those Tory Burch ballet flats would have been bought on sale or maybe at a consignment shop. On a student's budget, she's wearing those things until they plain fall apart.  



Shannon Morris of Double Take is all about business at Eaglecorp. My over-achieving bombshell would be rocking the latest fashions of 2158.  Classic throwbacks are in, but only those form the very highest status class can afford authentic pieces from a time when fashion was more than a replicated uniform.  With the sun scorching outside, she's never without protective eyewear.


Jodi Tate from By Surprise has an edge to her.  She can't help it, she had it tough growing up. But she's an artist, so along with the shit kicking boots, Jodi has a softer bohemian slant to her style. Nothing get's thought about for too long, she just throws it on and goes.  Some people can just look good without even trying.



Whose style is closest to yours?



Old School Sexy

I'm known to have a slightly compulsive personality.  My latest kick is corsets.  Ask me how many real deal corsets I own and the answer is zero, until yesterday.  So now I eagerly await the arrival of the steel boned piece of beautiful torture my fore-mothers fought to banish into history.  Thanks to a late night internet raid, I am drowning with anticipation for slipping into my new obsession.

Corsets, I've found, have as much personality as any other article of clothing, if not more. I probably perused over 150 different designs before finding one that fit my own personal style.  (If there's one thing I love as much as feeling sexy, it's shopping.)  I also scored a pair of black rumba panties and I have the perfect pair of patent leather Mary Jane stilettos to go with it.  That's the new love of my life on the left.

Now I'm completely hooked. (No, that wasn't an intentional pun.)  The newbie that I am, I'll be trolling Amazon and Ebay for more corset deals.  Let you know when I graduate to the handmade, artful varieties I can only dream about, like the ones pictured below.
