Shirt Dress

by Jamila Pierre


Who doesn't love a good shirt dress? If you haven't gotten into it, I suggest you do. They are the most easy going, smart yet casual looking item you could own in your wardrobe.
There are so many varieties and depending on the cut and material, you can really amp up your look or be super casual. 

What an amazingly versatile piece to have in your arsenal. On this day I chose to go more casual, and yes I went for the triple C's (Comfy Casual, Cute). 

I purchased this number soooooo many moons ago and had sooooo many plans for it, and if you know me then you've guessed that it took me forever to finally wear it. I'm just weird and slightly insane like that.

Everything has a time and place, sometimes you have to wait years before it becomes said time and place.

What I'm Wearing:

  1. Shirt-dress from Conway about 6yrs ago. $12
  2. Belt from Forever21. $10.80
  3. Necklace from Telco. $6
  4. Bracelets from Fashion To Figure. $12
  5. Boots from Avenue.com. $33.60

Here's another one of my fave shirt dresses that I wore during the brink of summer last year, you can find the outfit deets: HERE.


Sequin Mustache

by Jamila Pierre


So, even though my birthday was on a Thursday, I took the liberty of celebrating throughout the weekend. I celebrated with all the most important people in my life, on separate days of course. After a night of drinks, another night of movies and fabulous food, and several get out of "diet jail' free cards, I was finally  ready to celebrate the last day of my birth week with my mom and fam. 

Funny enough, during all these outings and celebrations, I ended up alone and doing absolutely nothing on my actual birthday. I participated in festivities on  every other day....strange right? But I did want to take my actual birthday for myself. I needed to reflect....dead serious. Lately I have been living deep inside myself and trying to make sense of all the new neuro-connections that have come about within the last year.

For this last celebration of my birthday, I wanted to feel cute and comfy...when don't I want to be cute and comfy...when does anyone not want to be cute and comfy? Anyway, I decided that since it was a tad chilly I would rock a sweatshirt and jeans instead of what I originally wanted to wear, which was a dress. I threw on some shiny flats and kept it pushin'.

You can't go wrong with your most perfect fitting jeans, holographic python flats with metal plated tips, and a sequin mustache sweatshirt. Not to mention the most perfect bag that I purchased so many moons ago and had sitting in a dust bag for over a year... waiting for the right moment to rock it. 

What I'm Wearing:

  1. Mustache sweater from Forever21.com. $24.80
  2. Necklace from a street-fair in Chelsea. $2
  3. Bracelet from Forever21. $4.80
  4. Jeans from Forever21. $22.80
  5. Flats from Fabco Shoes. $15 (BOGO Sale)
  6. Bag from Stawberry. $30

Here's a close up of the shoes.

Sharing in the Birthday Celebrations with my Cuzo, she thought she was slick and blew out the candles before I could.

Super thankful that my mom has awesome taste in pastries and took the time to help celebrate my personal New Year. I love her so much!
