Carmen T.'s Polyvore

Well, due to a possibility of a job, family to attend and creative pending issues, I'll keep this account inactive for a while. I'm sorry to all of you who have been here for me all this time, and I also know I'm very behind in my comments and faves.... I will come back eventually and catch up then. I'll probably try to come here once in a while too, even if it's just to check on your sets. Hope you all don't forget me!

For the contest: http://www.polyvore.com/my_mcqueen_at_fashion_week/contest.show?id=286597
 
Credit to the wonderful @alexander-mcqueen collections!!!

True beauty doesn't hide behind make up, design clothes, body lotions and fancy diets. When a woman goes through so much, coming from a place where children die with starvation everyday, where girls are mutilated by their own family, and still stands out to make a difference, that is beauty.

Do I even have to explain why she's on the list?
 
About the dress, I had to "build" it, because I couldn't find it anywhere.
I started this set a gazillion times, changed the outfit and the pictures, saved about 3 different drafts....But in the end I realized no matter how many red, green, etc etc she wears, Angelina LOVES her black. And lately she loves her nude shoes too. So there you go: a LBD and a nude peep toe platform.

Top Sets for Aug 29th, 2011 - Thanks, @polyvore!!!!

PS: Why is it when I'm in a good mood I always make dark sets?

Not enough time to make sets right now, so a template seemed like a good idea.

I tried to pull an outfit she would wear... Couldn't find the right vest and booties I was looking for. Nevertheless... she's still gorgeous. Her face IS fashion.

I just found out I can't compete in this contest because I don't live in the US, but this draft was nearly finished, so I'll just publish it anyways....
