DATE NITE/MOVIE OUTFIT

What up Ladies & Gents,

Today I come showing you how I styled this high/low sweater. What I like about this knit sweater is that it zips up in the back from the bottom all the way to the top and hangs really low. I purchased it from my local JCP's store. It also came in cream. Sorry my sistas who love black, they only came in these two colors. I know I know, I wanted black too, lol. However, you guys know I love my colors  and have no problem with bringing it into the fall. They are even bringing the pastel colors in as well. Long gone are the days for wearing just black, blue, red, rust, and tans for the fall. For pairing,  I would rock this sweater with leggings, which you will see below, jeans, a skirt, over a dress if its cut right, and straight leg pants. Although the way I styled it will make a nice date night or movie outfit,  it is also perfect for a day at the office. In addition to the leggings, I added a pair of tribal earrings, strappy red heels which are also hot this fall, and a black n white clutch bag. To top it off, I added a pair of mirrored aviator shades. Funny, normally one will wear mirror shades in the summer but there has been a twist to it this year, fashionistas have brought it into fall, which I love. Anywho, as always, the pics are below. Hope you like how I styled it and thank you for your continual love & support. It is appreciated...Much Luv, Peace!

2 WAY I STYLED THIS FAUX LEATHER & LEOPARD PRINT DRESS

What Up Ladies & Gents,

Today I come sharing how I styled this cute faux leather and leopard print dress. What attracted me to the dress were the sleeves. In my video entitled, faux leather haul that I created on YouTube (YT), I showed two tops with the same type of sleeves. However, the two tops look more like T-shirts with the ruffle sleeves on them. When I saw it on the leopard print, I had to get it. I would love to find  more pieces with the sleeves being the focal point. Not so much with the ruffles but different designs or patterns. I am always on the hunt for different pieces that a whole lot of women are not sporting and that are in my price range. For the most part, when I do pair pieces, I try to think outside the box. My momma use to tell me all the time, dare to be different and that has stuck with me. I am so sorry that I did not get into fashion design when I was younger especially when my desire for modeling did not happen mainly due to the requirements; height & weight, ugh. Anywho, lol, the first picture is the original look of the dress, the second, I added a faux leather belt and the last, I put a faux leather high-waisted skirt over it. I luv the last look, just looks so sexy, lol. Also, one thing I love about bodycon or mini dresses is you can also wear them as a shirt or tunic top. To finish the look, I added a pair of red ankle strap heels and purse. My accessories, I kept to a minimal, only adding a pair of red faux leather earrings. Well, the pics are below and I hope you like how I styled it. As always, thank you so much for your continual luv & support. Much luv, Peace!

CASUAL MEETS CHIC

What up ladies & Gents,

A couple of days ago, I purchased this leather choker and faux leather skirt. I was so in love with the shape of both pieces that I had to find a way to style the two pieces together. The choker was custom made for me by the owner of my favorite place to buy jewelry, Princess Closet. The shop is a small but upcoming business. The skirt, I purchased from Olive Ole, which has become one of my favorite places to shop. Although, I could have styled the pieces in various ways, I decided to go with a casual chic look. The choker definitely looks better with a top with no collar versus one that have one. To make it a casual look, I decided to go with a white "T" or T-Shirt as some would say and added my strappy black heels with the gold studs details that matches the choker. My accessories included a leopard print bracelet, a belt which says, love and a boy watch. For a pop of color, I grab my berry colored clutch. Below are pics of how I styled it. Hope you all luv it as much as I do. Thank you for your continue luv & support. Much luv, Peace!

STYLEN AFRICAN PRINT JOGGERS

What Up Ladies & Gents,

Today, I am showing you how I styled a pair of faux leather & African print jogger pants. These pants are on trend this fall. I love that the print is mixed with faux leather since this is still on trend from last year. I thought that faux leather would not have lasted another year but seems more fashion designers jumped on board. I am glad they did because today people prefer wearing faux leather more than real leather. It was just the opposite back in the day, my have things changed, lol. If you wore faux leather back in the day, you definitely got the side eyes, lol...Anywho, I styled them with a faux leather cropped top, wearing a cami underneath it and a pair of strappy heels which you probably seen before. They are so comfortable and cute so yeah, I decided to go back with them. These days, I do not wear or purchase too many high heels. I tried to keep it around 4 to 4 1/2 inches. For accessories, I added a pair of wooden button earrings, a beaded choker, a bracelet given to me by one of my YT sisters, and a boy watch. Well I hope you all like how I styled them. Thank you for your continual luv & support. Much luv, Peace!
