When DSR Apparel reached out to me to be a part of the launch (they launched today!!) of their new t-shirt line, "The Power Collection" I was very excited to support this brand!
She also wanted to create t-shirts that made the woman wearing them feel transformed – like her own personal super hero – powerful, bold and confident.
DSR Apparel was created for the modern and empowered woman. [source]
Through life's ups and downs I've overcome and at 31, I stand empowered.
When I saw the Queen t-shirt, I knew this one was for me! I am a woman who is powerful, strong, intelligent and an overcomer! I am royalty...a Queen, and definitely know my worth! When choosing a name for my puppy, I settled on Prince because I wanted everyone to know that my dog was royalty just like his mom! So I definitely knew I would incorporate Prince in this shoot somehow someway!
I had a very strong vision with these pictures and styling this graphic t-shirt and with the help of my friend Liz, my look came to life! Liz actually made my skirt and Prince's bow tie. The skirt dressed up this t-shirt perfectly! Definitely, adding a classy and confident element to the look, matching the mantra of the Queen tee. Thank you again friend, you are amazing!!
