Color Pop!

by Jamila Pierre

What would life be without color?!

I am head over heels in love with this dress for a few reasons:

  1. The color is a creamy jade....AMAZING!
  2. It has an extreme modest rise on the chest, but it isn't boring and the lace adds class and an understated sexy.
  3. The "Auto-waist" is PERFECTION!
  4. The chiffon overlay is of great quality.
  5. The lace detail at the very bottom if super girly and flirty....who doesn't love that?

Sweet and simple for the win.

Out To Sea.

Today I decided to rock a nautically inspired outfit with an edge. Not everyone may agree with the idea of a high-waisted skirt,  but I happen to love high-waisted skirts. I think that depending on your shape and the cut of the skirt you could have yourself a very flattering silhouette. I might go into body shapes and clothing in another post soon, but I must let you know that I am an avid rule breaker when it comes to style, so take what I tell you in that blog post as just a guide to help you in determining what would best work for you, not as a rigid requirement for looking good.

So here I paired this most amazing casual skirt, which is a perfect mesh of fashion and function due to the pockets, and a beautiful striped top with embellished shoulders. Of course I have on my favorite tall boots and as an added touch of Jamila, I tied it all together with my gun belt. This outfit to me says feminine with a sprinkle of KICK ASS.

I also paired this outfit with two different necklaces because I wasn't sure if I wanted to present my self as a a more delicate form of myself, or a more fun vibrant form of myself. Then again with a belt like the one I am donning here...I don't think it matters, it all just kind of says I may be cute but I will roundhouse you if I need to.

Here I'm Wearing:

  2. Olive striped top with sequence embellished shoulders, from Old Navy. $15
  3. Skirt from Conway. $7
