Neon, Skulls, & Motorcycle Dreams.

by Jamila Pierre

Not so long ago I was swooning over this tank by Ironfist, mostly because the "Loose Tooth" collection is my absolute fave and Boss as all F's. I've seriously worn this Luvah like one million time since I've gotten it for the low low price of $16, off of Hottopic.com (on sale), best decision EVAR by the way.

I paired it with my (worn to death) moto-jeans & moto-boots, because they are literally my life source....especially when I'm just looking to effortlessly FLEX on these BISHES. 

LOL, I kid, I kid, I joke with you...but no really...the flex is effortless when I have these two by my side.

Admittedly the best part about the boots, aside from pure/obvious badassery...and how they've molded to my ootas (AKA my feet), so well that they might as well be my oots, they have this most amazing click clack as I make entrances and pave paths. Needless to say (even though I have said a mouthful) these boots were not only made for walking....but they were made for me, I just wish I could find them again so I could buy hundreds more.

And because I have a not so secret love affairs with color (the mixing of common and not so common combinations, and just the addition of a color to break up whatever scale the look is leaning towards), I decided to up the ante with a SUPER POP by tossing on this neon blazer.

Threw on a few statement jewels and my trusty shades, and called it Le Day.

The Iron Fist

by Jamila Pierre

"Things like skulls, camo, and leopard print...are neutrals as far as I'm concerned. You can also add spikes, studs, and all such things to the list  that I find to be staples/standard. These things are comfort-zone for me...these things make sense; if they weren't in my wardrobe I'd feel naked." -Jamila Pierre

First let's start off by thanking the sun gods for casting shadows on my face for these photos.... now we may move on.

Let me tell you about Ironfist clothing, I am head over heels for them (have been for a very long time) and I want pretty much everything they make. wellllllll....not everything (if you don't remember me stating in a post not far off from this one, not all skull/leopard/edgy things are created equal), but most everything they produce is primo. The one collection that has me going crazy (and has for a very, VERY, long time), is the "Loose Tooth Collection". 

OH DEAR SWEET LORD HOW I LOVE THIS PRINT!!! 

I just love how it's an X-ray of a skull and has the missing teeth, it's just as imperfect and equally perfect as I am. Then if you're anything like me... you start making up stories as to how the teeth were lost. I like to think the skull belonged to a thrill seeker, or someone who was scrappy like me (maybe a member of a particular club to which we do not mention). The idea of this makes me smile even more so.

In any event, I freakin' love this brand and this print specifically, and have been dying to get my hands on just one piece to don in my wardrobe (memories of the time I wanted some loose tooth oxfords and snoozed on them bad boys...and lost out on that opportunity...I'll never forget...I'll always want them and think about them, I'll never lose hope in finally having them), so when Hottopic had this tank on sale................HUNNY!!!!!!

Hottopic.com has this in both the sexes, but I purchased mine in the men's section, in an XL (it fits like Le Dream) 

I've worn this tank a few times and it will be up on this blog many-a-time, trust! But, this time I decided that I wanted to be a little over the top by pairing it with a multi-way striped  skirt, and this waterfall blazer with grommets all up and down the trim. 

YUP, I DO'S THE MOST.

To be honest the skull face kinda looks like that of a gorilla's...(yes. no?), either way I loves it. I also made the decision... a high pineapple ponytail, cat-eyed sunnies, and my minimal wedge sandals it is.

I also paired it with my most obvi fave bracelet, a statement necklace, and this nifty spiked ring that I dubbed the "spiky ring of death"; it acts as a style statement while providing you with the tools you need to #ProtectYourNeck...PERFECT!
