Shimmer, Shimmer.

by Jamila Pierre


In light of the holidays I wanted to put together an outfit that had a little shimmer to it, however, I  wanted it to be known that if there were any "Santa's list" that I was gonna be on this year....it was definitely gonna be the naughty one. So I threw on my spiked faux leather jacket from Forever21, a pair of tights (BECAUSE IT'S COLD GOT DANG IT), and my copper/brown hidden-stud boots. During the photo sesh of my latest post, I ripped my tights because i was being extremely rough and careless.

Between my finger jamming a hole through the leg and me crossing my legs like I don't have buckles on my boots; which then caused another hole to tear into my tights.......I just had it....I was fed up and was two seconds from going bare legged in the cold in this outfit (It didn't help that I was slightly inebriated due to the Irish cream liquor I drank in a failed attempt to keep warm, this just made me even more prone to agitation).

But this is why you have friends, they can see things you can't see because you're too busy being crazy.

As I rolled my poor forsaken tights down my thighs and I let them rest at my knees for a moment so I could continue my tangent about my "tight woes", she informed me it would be so cute if the tights were actually knee/thigh-highs...and that I should cut them.....BRILLIANT!!!!!!!

WHERE ARE THE SCISSORS?!!!!

After I cut the hell out of these tights we ventured into the cold, I died a thousand deaths because it was literally freezing and the Molly's Irish Cream I drank did nothing to keep me warm....but it did compel me to further expose my thickems.... how else were you going to see the thigh-high masterpiece...?

Overall I'm in-lust with the combination of deep berry colors and metallics of all kinds, and I'm thankful for friends who can see clearly what I would do for myself when I'm busy acting like a lunatic and are able to bring me back down to earth.

Sequin Mustache

So, even though my birthday was on a Thursday, I took the liberty of celebrating throughout the weekend. I celebrated with all the most important people in my life, on separate days of course. After a night of drinks, another night of movies and fabulous food, and several get out of "diet jail' free cards, I was finally  ready to celebrate the last day of my birth week with my mom and fam. 

Funny enough, during all these outings and celebrations, I ended up alone and doing absolutely nothing on my actual birthday. I participated in festivities on  every other day....strange right? But I did want to take my actual birthday for myself. I needed to reflect....dead serious. Lately I have been living deep inside myself and trying to make sense of all the new neuro-connections that have come about within the last year.

For this last celebration of my birthday, I wanted to feel cute and comfy...when don't I want to be cute and comfy...when does anyone not want to be cute and comfy? Anyway, I decided that since it was a tad chilly I would rock a sweatshirt and jeans instead of what I originally wanted to wear, which was a dress. I threw on some shiny flats and kept it pushin'.

You can't go wrong with your most perfect fitting jeans, holographic python flats with metal plated tips, and a sequin mustache sweatshirt. Not to mention the most perfect bag that I purchased so many moons ago and had sitting in a dust bag for over a year... waiting for the right moment to rock it. 

What I'm Wearing:

  1. Mustache sweater from Forever21.com. $24.80
  2. Necklace from a street-fair in Chelsea. $2
  3. Bracelet from Forever21. $4.80
  4. Jeans from Forever21. $22.80
  5. Flats from Fabco Shoes. $15 (BOGO Sale)
  6. Bag from Stawberry. $30

Here's a close up of the shoes.

Sharing in the Birthday Celebrations with my Cuzo, she thought she was slick and blew out the candles before I could.

Super thankful that my mom has awesome taste in pastries and took the time to help celebrate my personal New Year. I love her so much!
