Neon.

by Jamila Pierre

Ok Ok, so i'm late with this whole neon thing.

But to me being late with fashion and trends, is right on time for me. I like to do things when most people have moved on from the overwhelming obsession and subsequent murder of a trend. The end of a trend if it's rebirth of style for me.

And when it comes to mixing prints......? I'm on that!

So remember the post where I explained the super sale Torrid was having? This was the second blazer I purchase, it too was only $20. CAN ANYONE SAY SEXELLENT?!?!?!?!?

I paired it with an equally as bright skater dress that I purchased during Forever21's Black Friday Sale-a-palooza.

The Blazer Has a floral & slightly embossed print on it, and the dress is made of exactly the same material but has some type of basket weave/ french frie print on it (also embossed).

I paired it with jewelry that matched it's robust color palette and called it a day.

Grey & Day Glow.

by Jamila Pierre

Am I the only one who finds grey mixed with a day glow neon yellowish green, incredibly chic?

Thanks to one of my home skillets, who bought me a most tubular sweater/blouse, I was able to put together and effortless sheath of dopeness.

Also, I found one of the most perfectly obnoxious blazers to add to my collection of my other slightly less obnoxious but obnoxious none the less blazers. I found it at the Torrid around where I live and It also happens to be the Torrid that Ivynightmarebaby works at, she's fabulous by the way, and on this particular day Torrid was having a sale extravaganza where this blazer (along with another blazer that will be feature soon) was only $20...marked down from almost $60.....you heard me correctly.

And so when I tried it on, it was pure magika and I knew that this loud ass piece was coming home with me.

I kept most everything understated so that the blazer could really shine, not that it needed much help, and Viola!
