Are tie-dye leggings a fashion risk? Not when they're on-trend! (And if you'll remember, I wore a similar piece in Week #1 of this competition and had the experts reluctant to endorse them then. But the fashion tides have turned!)

Pairing these Plan B Charcoal Tie-Dyed Stretch Leggings with rock-chic accessories and an XL men's t-shirt turned into a dress, it's the way to go for an evening out on the town or a fashionable soiree. Super-spiked shoes (with extra straps, buckles, studding, and texturizing added to a pair of platform stripper heels), a magazine clutch (a clutch with a magazine cover glued to it), rhinestone earring turned into hand jewelry, a pyramid ring (okay, I'll admit I didn't make this one), and a long dangling chain earring complete the look and keep it edgy and glam. Say what's on your mind on your shirt using velcro letters - a total 80's throwback - and be a little in-your-face and tongue-in-cheek all at the same time.

Styling Tip: Run out of things to wear in your own closet? Raid the BF's! (That's BoyFriend - not Best Friend - unless your bestie happens to be male!) Oversized tees work great as dresses - and are experiencing a huge fashion comeback right now. Belt at the waist if you want to inject a little femininity to the look.

Thanks for looking and I'd love to have your vote on StyleList.com and Bluefly.com!
