Not Just Black.

by Jamila Pierre


I do have a tendency to adorn myself in either vibrant colors, or deep earth tones, but trust me black is in the arsenal as well. I love the idea of black, this absence of color can be quite intriguing, and so can trying to find ways of not having a one dimensional outfit. 

Don't let black fool you, as effortless as it'd like to make you think it is, if you're looking to add interest to your look...you may find it isn't as effortless as you think...unless black is all you own. 

So, when looking for black pieces, I tend to steer away from basic pieces because I don't ever want what I wear to be silent...EVER!

That's just me, you may find that you and I are nothing alike, and that basics are more you stylo.

In any event, I found these black pant from Target.com (that I've worn in another post) during a time when I was desperately looking for a pair of black jean that weren't "flat", they'll probably be my go to black jeans from now until forever.

It's all in the details!

Several months later, in my search for interesting sweaters/sweatshirts to buy for the turn of the season, I found a black sweatshirt from Forever21 and just knew right then , I needed it in my life. 

Though I loved it, and will inevitably wear it the way it was intended to be worn, I couldn't help but turn this baby around and rock it like that. 

I couldn't help myself!

And of course, I couldn't let an outfit go by with out throwing in some type of color pop, hence the blue kitten heels from Nine West. 

What I'm Wearing:

  1. Jewlery from and assortment of places. $2- $5
  2. Sweatshirt from Forever21.com. $22.80
  3. Jeans from Target.com. $19.99
  4. Blue Kitten Heels from NineWest.com. $29.99

Out of all of the seasons I think it's safe to say that Fall is definitely the best time of the year. To me it's a time to express yourself style-wise even more so than any other season. The sad part though, is the fact that it seems to last for just a few seconds in comparison to its horrible counterparts (Summer & Winter).

Before you can even enjoy Fall for all its glory, winter comes in like the ice cold heartless Bishhh that she is and shatters any attempt at looking cute. 

Thankfully though, the times of winter fashion has changed and we're seeing a lot more of our basic winter essential infused with a healthy dose of style. I for one am a huge fan of the fact that clothing stores are being so accommodating to the fact that I still want to look good during the "Frostbite" season. 

This season is typically about Function over Fashion so when I started to see more affordable and stylish sweaters hit the scene, I went H.A.M online and scooped up a bunch.

 I will be growing my collection of fabulosity and you will be seeing me in more statement sweaters throughout this season, because come on...who can can resist the opportunity to look good effortlessly during a season that doesn't entirely let you do that? 

Below are some of my favorite sweaters that I will be rocking religiously this upcoming season.
