I'm finally doing a post about this most lovely and BOSS AF, hooded dress. I featured this dress, along with several other purchases, in one of my Forever21 hauls I did for my YouTube channel.

When I tell you I freaking love this damn thing....I really mean it. I didn't even wait until it got cooler out before wearing it; I wore this beast in the dead of heat and humidity  this summer...with jeans and boots (I cared NOT). 

I'm all about the details too, so something as small a completely functional "mini" side-zip, that allows you to convert from Chic to G...from Classy to Sassy....with just a flick of the wrist??? **Cues the song Flicka Da Wrist** YAAAASSSSS

So all in all I am here for this dress, and of course I paired it with another item I hauled in that same video, my beloved bat kicks.

Oh and let us please appreciate the size of the hood that actual comes over my big ass head and equally big hair. I mean.....if you're in the bizznazz of being cloaked, then babaaaaayyyyyy, this here is IT!

Not Just Black.

I do have a tendency to adorn myself in either vibrant colors, or deep earth tones, but trust me black is in the arsenal as well. I love the idea of black, this absence of color can be quite intriguing, and so can trying to find ways of not having a one dimensional outfit. 

Don't let black fool you, as effortless as it'd like to make you think it is, if you're looking to add interest to your look...you may find it isn't as effortless as you think...unless black is all you own. 

So, when looking for black pieces, I tend to steer away from basic pieces because I don't ever want what I wear to be silent...EVER!

That's just me, you may find that you and I are nothing alike, and that basics are more you stylo.

In any event, I found these black pant from Target.com (that I've worn in another post) during a time when I was desperately looking for a pair of black jean that weren't "flat", they'll probably be my go to black jeans from now until forever.

It's all in the details!

Several months later, in my search for interesting sweaters/sweatshirts to buy for the turn of the season, I found a black sweatshirt from Forever21 and just knew right then , I needed it in my life. 

Though I loved it, and will inevitably wear it the way it was intended to be worn, I couldn't help but turn this baby around and rock it like that. 

I couldn't help myself!

And of course, I couldn't let an outfit go by with out throwing in some type of color pop, hence the blue kitten heels from Nine West. 

What I'm Wearing:

  1. Jewlery from and assortment of places. $2- $5
  2. Sweatshirt from Forever21.com. $22.80
  3. Jeans from Target.com. $19.99
  4. Blue Kitten Heels from NineWest.com. $29.99
