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

Calling All Statement Blazers!

by Jamila Pierre


Blazers get in my closet!

Who in their right mind doesn't like em', own em', and/or want em'?

All I ever wore for years of my adolescent life were hoodies, cause as I've stated in numerous posts before, I was a grungy little east village party kid. Then as became more of a "lady", I wore almost nothing but cardigans.

Flash forward to about two years ago, I became a full fledged businessman with my own theme song as I walked down the street or entered a room.

Yet another bit of information I've included in prior posts, I have a strong affinity towards work wear silhouettes/attire with a touch of a spark...i'm either ready to go to work, a die hard/rebellious/punky souled individual, or I'm rockin' straight hobo fashions...that's me in a nutshell.   

I've generated quite the collection and though i'm not showcasing all of my blazers here, I do hope you enjoy the ones I am, as much as I enjoy wearing them.
