Blazers: A Wardrobe Essential

Happy Friday y’all! So… I love blazers! (O_O) LOL That’s really the gist of it. For someone who loves ’em so much, though, I don’t have nearly as many as I think I should have! Sad, I know. *sheds single tear* But thinking back to my different outfits and such, I seem to be doing pretty well at switchin ’em up and makin ’em work. If you recall my post on fashion basics, blazers can really be an instant outfit-maker! Blazer: H&M | National Natural Hair Meetup Day @ Hair Rules Salon, Summer ’12 Throw on some jeans, a basic tee, some cute pumps and slap that blazer on to complete and polish the look! A few cute accessories and you’re good to go. Sometimes ya just don’t have the time to dwell on the perfect ensemble so this is a simple way to go. Velvet Blazer: Zara | Dark & Lovely…

Fashion Friday: The Basics

Every now and then, I’m approached by women who have found themselves at a place where they just don’t know where to begin to build a decent wardrobe OR who haven’t quite found their style. My answer to them is always to start with the basics! You gotta crawl before you can walk, right? So, if you find yourself to be “fashion-challenged”, you cannot just jump into a particular trend or hop on the latest thing that’s hot in the streets! For one thing, not everything looks good on everyone. While you might be rockin’ something that’s on trend, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s for you. Starting off with basic items while developing an eye for what looks good (on you) is the best way to ease into things and look good doing it. That said, in my opinion, there a few essential wardrobe items that a gal just…

Fashion Friday: All Denim Everything!

Date: Sept 6th 2012- Day One of Fashion Week Occasions: Fashion’s Night Out/ Chic ‘n’ Kinky Natural’s Night Out Dilemma: What to wear When stepping out on the first night of Fashion Week, ya wanna look your best… usually. But with a limited budget and not a whole lot of time, I decided to shop my closet. A funky yet comfy look for the natural hair event I’d be attending was needed, so my favorite pair of jeans was a sure thing. Now, do I do a cami and a blazer? A white tee and beaucoup accessories?? Welp, at the back of the closet hung an old friend- a western-style denim snap button-down shirt. But a denim top AND bottom… how would that look? 0_o *cue banjo-playing quartet* Once again, Folake Huntoon of StylePantry was in my head! With this style post exactly ONE week before the event, I was…
