Intellectual Architect or Mall Goth? | Styling Advice | Over Fifty Fashion | Carla Rockmore

This whole looks started off as a goth kid in the mall kind of feel. I was into witchy, dark, and alternative. Something out of Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" album. The problem is I threw in that white shirt. White shirts are just not witchy no matter how hard they may try. Crisp white shirts always read polished and intelligent, even if they hit the floor...😬 But it lit up my face so I had to go that way. That's how a look develops. I follow the breadcrumbs and see where it goes. Don't be afraid to forge your own new path. You never know where you’ll end up. 🖤🖤🖤

Your vibe is giving me "professor Trelauney teaches fashion" and it makes me very happy

Gosh she looks like this art or gardening teacher that everyone likes because of how sweet and relaxed she is 🥺

[kismetbridgeforth]

Okay Carla, you're ON!!! And to think there are folks who think loose fit tops and bottoms shouldn't be paired together. You, woman, have great "style!"

I really don't have the words to describe how much I love this woman's vibes. I've taken many art classes in my time and if I ever walked into a studio and she was the professor I would just KNOW I was about to have an amazing semester.

You are so fabulous. I have a pleated pleather maxi dress. I must dig it out! As a fellow glasses wearer, I need to know where you get your glasses please!

Oh my goodness! Just when I thought your outfit was already fabulous, you continue to stun me with every layer added! You inspire me so much to just put myself out there fashion-wise!

WHERE is that shirt from darling it's GORGEOUS? 😍

[IrishCassidy]

I remember, before the Internet, Vogue was the go to for fashion information. And now it's more like a celeb magazine with purse ads. Most young women basically want makeup reviews, and makeup tutorials. I never really hear anyone talk about clothing philosophy. Then I discovered you. You are concerned about creating looks, and your chanel is so refreshing, brilliant, educational. Saying Goths evolved into Architects look is really mind blowing. In a Good way. To recognize the fact that some Goths are creative artists, with math ability, and not just mall rats is really great to hear. Thank you for your teachings

[TashaBella]

I absolutely love how you put an outfit together. It's totally my speed. Different textures, cuts, colors, all pulled together with accessories!!! Keep on slaying on...

[vanessafernandez-herak]

I desperately need to level up my wardrobe- thank you for the inspiration 🙏🏼♥️

[promisemadepromisekept.]

That blouse is giving me all kind of good I'm in love.

[angeliquematos]

Probably, my favorite outfit, so far - only because I would wear it; I love everything Carla puts together!🌹

[Liznevarez]

The way you complete your outfits, from the clothing to the accessories, I would never think of the combinations you come up with, yet you look so well-put-together! Definitely have to admire that from you :) thank you for all your inspo
