VERTEBRA.

Yeah, you got some silverware, but really are you eating though?
Are you eating though? Nigga, are you eating though?
Breakfast, lunch and dinner's for beginners, you ain't even know.

Don't be mad cause I'm doing me better than you doing you
Better than you doing you, fuck it, what you gon' do?

If there's one thing I've got is a back bone. I am courageous, brave, and I very rarely back down from a fight. I have it in me to push through even when I feel like I'm at my wits end, I confront fuckery head on, and I always, ALWAYS, stand up for what is right. Most importantly, I'm beyond unafraid and unapologetic whilst doing me. I revel in ALL that is me.

*Cues Effie White from 'Dream Girls- And I'm telling you".*

You, and you, and you, you're gonna love meeeeeee (whether you want to or not), and if you don't...I really don't give a shit. I encourage you all to adopt this way of being, even if it doesn't come easy, just make actual moves towards bettering yourself and honing your tough as nails way of life. Now let's be clear, in no way am I saying that you should be a piece of shit for the sake of "doing you", ain't nobody got time for dat. There IS a such thing as balance, being true to you and being a decent human being are not mutually exclusive. You CAN be both unapologetic; and an awesomely kind, nurturing, free spirited, respectful person. Don't let your ID, EGO, & SUPER EGO get you fucked up in these streets. Consider that a PSA from me to you.

I'm always on the look out for pieces that are done well, that are you unique, that have a twist, and most importantly I'm lookin' for pieces that hit. This flannel-ish top is one of the many I've come across that fit my style criteria. 

I own three awesome AF versions of this plaid top so far (I've featured two of them including this one, there's a third on it's way) and I couldn't be more EXCITE. If you know anything about me you know my fascination with bones (skulls, vertebra, hip bones, etc...) because they're just so beautiful, just genuinely beautiful. If I could incorporate my calcium enriched friends into every look...I would. 

Thanks to some of my old fave shops I am able to acquire pieces like this button down to help me further my "bone collection". Does this sound a bit strange...? LOL. Trust me, I'm not collecting people for their bones in a basement somewhere, I am just truly fascinated by it.....

I've also been looking for the perfect overalls, this my friends is no easy feat. There are a few options out there but I needed to find one that suit my body and was in a color and style that screamed my name. Needless to say....I found it.

This pair overalls was found on Charlotterusse. com. There's a lighter pair of overalls that I'm looking to buy from Charlettle as well, I was even tempted to get a backup of these charcoal colored ones but they're sold out. They're a perfect blend of formfitting, stylish, and comfortable, what more could you want?! There's even another pair that's slightly different that has peaked my interest as well. Get on it!

What I'm Wearing:

1. Bandana from the 99 cent store.
2. Necklace from AFAZE. (3 for $10)
3. Noir tank top from Forever21. $14.90
4. Overalls from Charlotterusse. $15 (On Sale. Alternative HERE and HERE)
5. Spine plaid top from Hottopic.com (On Sale. Alternative HERE and HERE)
6. Booties from Mandees to the rescue. $15 (On Sale. Alternative HERE, and HERE)

ZOM-BAE.

Ways to keep my interest:

1. PIZZA (Check)
2. LEATHER (Check & Check)
3. ZOMBIES (Checkity CHECK)

Let us address the dueling elephants in the room; my glorious pizza print top and my gore-ious zombie print footwear (see what I did there...?No..?). They both rock my socks (can't you tell? I'm not wearing any).

If you saw one of my recent hauls (locate HERE, or HERE), then you would have seen me go on about where I got this boss little number and how often I intend to wear it. It originally came in a coordinating pajama set but I didn't care about all of that, I had every intention of wearing it out in the world. I must admit, I never actually tried it on when I bought it....so even though it is stretchy and fits my wonderfully rotund bod, it is a bit short.

By the time I decided I wanted to potentially exchange it for its plus size twin (because this was a straight size XL and shortly after I bought this it became available online in PLUS), I snoozed on the mutha sucka and lost, it disappeared off-line.

So there I was, stuck with a top that had a boss ass print that I could've gone up a size in (just ever so slightly)....

I'd be damned if I didn't make this BISH werk!

I could easily sit here and tell you a tale about how intentional it was for me to have an undershirt just peeking from the bottom...but nope...I won't, this is a real moment we're having right now.

The top comes down enough to cover the necessary bits but it isn't exactly what I had imagined or planed it to be, that's if I were to wear it on its own, unless I decided to wear it a few other ways (which I intend to do in the future). So I made the decision to rock it with an undershirt.....but which one......? I wanted it to be just as obnoxious and busy as the focal print without detracting from it, and then it hit me, NOIR! The perfect amount of minimal and busy with glint for days.

I also wanted to mix prints and textures all throughout the 'fit; black leatherette moto leggings with zips, black "leather' moto jacket lined with cotton ribbed lapels and side panels, a black on black cotton undershirt with shiny lettering, texture on texture on texture. As for print...? Well, I think that's pretty obvi isn't it?

I threw on this chartreuse infinity scarf I got for Christmas from my cousin, these awesome heart-shaped rainbow shades I borrowed from my home skillet Amy (of @_Betty.Black_ & Bettyblack.info), and my newest Zombie slip-on's.

These Slip-on zombie kicks (or ZOM-Bae, because these BISHES ARE BAE AF), are all of that and a whole damn chip factory. I just can't! The story behind them is too long to even get into but all in all my Main and I are twinning, and her hubby wants a pair too. It should be no secret by now how I feel about this brand, but this print is just....JUST! I have a deep love for Ironfist, a public affair with the Loose Tooth collection, and a serious infatuation with the Zombie Stomper collection as well. It only seemed right to pair them with this outfit, don't you think?
