Birds & Houndstooth.

by Jamila Pierre


Can I just say that ever since I purchased this black and white bird-print button-down, I find myself wanting to wear it way more than any normal person would. I absolutely love when you shop someone's closet and you find pieces that you can incorporate into your wardrobe so seamlessly. Thanks to Kellie Brown, of And I Get Dressed, I was able to purchase this top for a mere $15. The top was originally from Simplybe.com, so I'm expecting the original ticket price to be one million dollars, getting it for $15 bucks made me feel like I hit the jackpot.

I Purchased this dress from the Rainbow in Midtown (Manny Hatty) the same day I bought the bomber that I've mentioned a few posts ago. When I got home, opened my closet, and briefly  brainstormed what I wanted to pair this dress with...it all just came together like a magnet. 

I paired it with my huge sunnies, a white iridescent chain necklace, and my handy dandy pink heels...because come on...

The Jam.

I've had a multitude of nicknames throughout life, i'm not sure if I want to divulge all of them but here are a few: Big Head, Jammy, Jamster, Jambalaya, and one of them was and still is, Jam. (And those are just to name a few) So when my best friend, Amy, saw this t-shirt  she found it to be perfect for me. 

It was such a cute and thoughtful birthday gift, I had to rep it in a blog post because I am the Jam.

Can we just pause a moment and be grateful for the people in our lives who bring out the best in us, the people who love us and have our backs? If you don't have someone like that in your life, someone also worthy of your all....get one. It's so painfully important and I am eternally grateful for my peoples. 

Ok, moving on.

I had recently placed an order at Walmart.com and I felt this shirt would go perfectly with it. I also decided to ad an extra touch with the knit jacket/cardigan and these embellished heels.

This combination of acid wash and leopard print is a subtle yet not so subtle way of mixing prints, even though acid wash is technically...well..a wash.
