Teal Snake.

by Jamila Pierre


My love affair with color, that might as well be considered a full on commitment, continues. In light of it finally being Spring, I decided to ring that sucker in bright. 

Yes, it's still chilly out...yes, I will still be rocking layers... but I saw an opportunity to bare some leg and foot so I took it. I won't go into my adoration of teal, chartreuse, or snake print....OK maybe a little bit. Teal is seriously just one of those colors that reeks grown and sexy, and pairing it with such a aesthetically confusing color like chartreuse is just genius... if I do say so myself.

Chartreuse is just one of those colors you love and hate and love again, which is why it's so amazing and necessary in ones wardrobe.

With that being said, I went ahead and purchased this top in January  and the skirt in February of last year, I had no idea I would pair the two of them together. I barely ever purchase things with rationality as a driving force and I barely ever consider what's currently in my wardrobe, I just buy what I like and like magnets the pieces just find each other. 

As for the shoes, they're seriously the strappy shoe that won't absolutely kill your feet. From the heel height, to the wedge, these little things were a must. My only regret is not getting them in all of the colors.

What I'm Wearing:

  1. Top from JCP.com. $12
  2. Skirt from Target.com. $12
  3. Bag from Forever21. $0 (Gifted)
  4. Shoes from Target.com. $7 (From $30)
  5. Necklace from the Wholesale district. $5

Bloggerspiration: La Pecosa Presciosa.

by Jamila Pierre


The Precious Freckled Face.

I first stumbled upon Sandra Negron's blog in February of last year when I first launched my very own blog, and I have to say I was digging her look. Like her, and all of the other "BLOGGERSPIRATIONS" I'll be doing inspired by,  they were chosen because there are pieces of either their personality or style that I can identify with. 

In the case of Sandra, it's her fearlessness when it comes to color, prints, layer, you name it. She is not a stranger to mixing it up and experimenting, and that's something I can respect. She most definitely has a style that's her own. (Images of Sandra from her blog Lapecosapreciosa.com)

Look, not everything/every outfit, has to be about clean chic lines and has to have a whole "less is more" approach. Though I do appreciate all of that and the story it tells about the woman who chose to wear it like that, I fully understand the urge to slap someone in the face with with a more robust style approach. In all honesty I''m no stranger to that because that is a big part of who I am.

So whatever Sandra is serving, whether or not you get it or not, I for one can dig it.

So I decided to create a look inspired by a few of her looks.  Take a look at her images above and see if you can tell what inspiration I've pulled.
