Silver & Taupe

by Jamila Pierre

Typically when one thinks Fall they think warm deep saturated hues, to be honest I do too, but you gotta give it up for the slightly unexpected. You gotta give it up for the cool tones, pastels, even the neon's  that make their much appreciated appearance from time to time. 

Could we also discuss my infatuation (which is steadily growing into a full blown Romeo & Juliet kind of love) for purple lippies....like....can we? It's the perfect balance of dark and bright, making me feel sensual and giddy all at the same time.

I bought this dress (in several colors because i'm a crazy person) from Target, along with a bunch of other things that will surely grace the bloggity soon enough. I knew I wanted to tie it into a hiked up knot and I wanted to pair it with a few edgy pieces.

STATEMENTS, STATEMENTS, & MORE STATEMENTS!

I threw on my black leather shorts from Forever21 (which you can't even see) so that people wouldn't be able to see my naughty bits.

Also, these boots are becoming my life boots and it petrifies me to no end, it means that I my urge to wear them will increase and by doing so they will inevitably meet their demise.

What I'm Wearing: 

  1. Dress from Target.com. $11 (On sale)
  2. Belt from V.I.M. $12
  3. Jacket from Strawberry. $19.99
  4. Necklace from AFAZE. (3 for $10)
  5. Boots from CharlotteRusse.com. $15 (On sale from $45)
  6. Leather shorts (that you can't see) from Forever21.com. $20

Demure.

Erica Walcott does it again!

All I've wanted for some time was a retro pleated and flared skirt in a bright color. This ladies and gentlemen, is a dream realized. 

One of my  favorite colors of all time is none other than fuchsia. This color is seen in sprinkles on both my blog and photography website because it embodies femininity without being prissy. I like prissy sometimes, don't get me wrong, but there's something very "woman" about this pink while still being fun, youthful, and girly, and I prefer that.

The cut of this skirt is perfect for those who want to accentuate their feminine figure while hiding the parts that they aren't the most keen on. In this skirt I can be a demure damsel, and  eat like a truck driver while hiding the evidence all at the same time. 

This = awesome!

What better way to bring out the pink in this skirt, than to pair it with an obnoxiously bright neon lemon color? I find that pink has undoubtedly become a neutral...if you ask me.

I paired it with one of my most recent purchases showcased in my last YouTube video. 

This cardigan WILL be worn in excess from here on out.

Let us also take a moment to appreciate that the skirt has pocket!

This is perfect for a modern girl on the move who has no time for a purse, this skirt WILL also be worn in excess, with a multitude of tops. 

Fuchsia is the new black BISH!
