Blue Velvet.

by Jamila Pierre

Truth moment: 

I by no means need any more dresses. I have a million of them and to be honest,  that figure might not be far  from the truth though I may be over exaggerating.

But.... when I saw this obvious brother from another mother, to my sleeveless red and white version, I was like....no-brainer. I mean who wouldn't want a fall/winter friendly monochromatic version of that red and white dress (HERE)? I initially was going to don this dress during my trip to Boston, but I ended up spending most of my time in the hotel room. The best part of this dress (aside from it's fabulous color and 3/4 inch sleeves) is that it is form fitting without being tight at all, SCORE!

I decided to pair it with my ridiculously oversized chain necklace and my most favorite, and most comfy, kitten heels... EVER.

And now, I am ready for a night out with my hunny bun.

What I'm Wearing: 

  1. Necklace from AFAZE. (3 for $10 sale)
  2. Dress from Forever21.com. $27.80
  3. Heels From NineWest.com $29.99 (on sale from $80)

Lumberjack Chic

by Jamila Pierre

Honestly....I don't own very many plaid garments, I could just never seem to find ones that really fit my style or spoke my language. I love the idea of plaid, I could come up with fun outfits to suit most peoples aesthetics, but when it came to the actuality of plaid...or more so how it was presented to me, it just never clicked....until now.

When I saw this jacket I nearly had an aneurysm from all the excitement. I knew that this plaid garment was in fact made for me, and I stopped at nothing to get it. I knew how I would style it the instant I laid eyes on it and I'd be damned if I'd let this sucker go out of stock before I got my hands on it.

It's leather sleeves take this piece from lumberjack to lumberjack chic in one fell swoop, it's heavy duty without being bulky, and the cut of it helps to maintain your shape; over all this is one hell of a jacket that is as beautiful as it is well made.

What I'm Wearing:

  1. Jacket from Fashiontofigure.com:$44.50 (was$36.50 when I purchased it, then I threw a coupon code on it...so you know it's real)
  2. Necklace from the wholesale District: $5
  3. Belt from V.I.M: $7
  4. Skirt from a Shop & Swap: $30 (Originally from Mynt1972)
  5. Heels from Marshalls. $30
