Back in July my friend Jorge asked if I would be interested in styling Charisse Haislop, Miss West Virginia USA 2014, for the I’M LIVING fall campaign. Of course I said YES! Give me pageantry and fashion and I’m sooooo there! haha.
For this particular campaign we really wanted to focus on the “lifestyle” aspect of the brand and how each individual embodies the concept of I’M LIVING differently. With Charisse being a young professional and a reigning titleholder, I styled her with practicality in mind. Often times she’s running from one place to next, and the easiest way for her to change up her look is to layer and accessorize (i.e. scarves, sunglasses, shoes, etc). So, here’s a look at my concept on practical styling for the young professional who’s busy, yet effortlessly chic, and doesn’t mind rocking a graphic tee (some people are weird about t-shirts; in fact I used to be one of those people until last year.)!
LOOK 1: PRINTED
LOOK 2: SPRING IN FALL
LOOK 3: SIMPLE SOPHISTICATION
Overall it was an amazing day of styling, and I could not be more pleased with the final results! Which look is your favorite? Drop a comment below letting me know!

And lastly, be sure to connect with Charisse via Instagram and Twitter as she completes her year of service as Miss West Virginia USA!

Living Sophistication is my favorite, although I’m not sure how I feel about the blazer and skirt both being blue.
Thanks for the feedback Katherine! The skirt is black…not blue : )
Oh! Then I like it much more. I love the style itself! Personal pet peeve of mine is two wardrobe pieces of the “same color” that arent the exact same color. My computer monitor is probably skewed.
