BUT THEM JEANS THO...

by Jamila Pierre


Ok so I am super loving this entire look; mostly because it hits all of the notes of casual, comfy, cute, with a side order of edge (all in one), but also because it has my favorite elements....floral, moto, and leather.

I saw this top and was super excite to own it, it only cost five beans and though it only came as large as an XL...it seemed stretchy enough. My home skillet peeped it and felt the need to cop it as well, I mean who can pass up such a steal for such a cute top at such an awesome price? It gives off this whole I'm totally not trying to be cute...but I am anyhow.

Unfortunately, I was blessed with some MAJOR arm-action, and the seam of the top of the sleeve  was not entirely created to house all of it's glory. Don't get me wrong it definitely works, but...it could work so much more if it were just one size up.

I paired it with my lock necklace and these borrowed sunnies from the my main, and I called it a day for the upper deck.

Now on to these pantalones. First let me say that it SUPER sucks how I can't find them on the site anymore. When I first hauled them on my YouTube channel, I linked them in the description and everything, but sadly they are gone. However, this look works with any acid wash, distressed, or moto pant/jean. It's the whole juxtaposition thing I always talk about here on the blog. Floral and Biker Bish Chic is always a go, and if you can find ways to dial it down or turn it all the way up effortlessly...DO IT.

Long-Line Lumberjack.

by Jamila Pierre


OK, so as much as I love wearing these glasses on my face (despite how on the fence I may be about whether they flatter me or not, from time to time), I'm actually becoming more and more obsessed with donning them atop my head. I just like the goggle effect it's giving me without being overly goggle-like....or did I just nail it and put that in your head and make you totally see nothing but goggles now, turning it into absolutely goggles from goggle-like...?

Anyway, I just dig it now and again.

Lets dig deeper into contrast. 

Here we have me with the "goggles" on, I look different right? I like it just the same. I also like the change in backdrop and the contrast between a motorcycling lumberjack, and a chic....you fill in the blanks. 

The juxtaposition between hard and soft or "boy" and "girl", is always a good thing...it's always a GOOD thing. So having this slightly faded, ready to chop all the wood in the land...ready to yell TIMBER on that ass, mixed with a flowing and pliable (yet solid and heavy) long-lined vest, and these primo shades/ "goggles" (lmfao)......? Just good. And the bling of choice bridges the gap between both worlds effortlessly. 

Ooooop, I switched it up on 'em, lol. The background doesn't really go with the attire as well as the others but it was at my disposal so I went for it any ole way. I can however appreciate the background with my top...just saying. 

I just love this top, it's unfortunate that it can't be found anymore online, but I'll do my best to try and find some comparable items so that you can get something close to my look, if you so please.

Let us take a moment to appreciate the absence of gravity and then it's return all in one shot. All of jiggly bits were definitely being pulled in different directions for many of the takes, even for this one, and if it were shot from the profile you'd be in for a sight. I love it, granted it's a shot of my landing, but I love it! I really shouldn't even be doing this but I'm stubborn and I couldn't resist the moment to take back a piece of who lives inside of this chronically ill person. You just have to do it sometimes.
