Bodycon Chronicles Feat. GITIonline

The infamous bodycon... a blessing and a curse! Blessing - it's ten times more fashionable than the flowered moo-moo stores had been forcing down our throats for years. Curse -most times they're too tight, too short, and we have to put on too much underneath (Spanx).

For me, it's all about finding the perfect formula. That's a mixture of fabric, design and length. When given the opportunity by  Gitionline to review an item from their site, this dress immediately grabbed my attention.  

My guess was that it would be pretty curve friendly and my guess wasn't wrong! It's the most forgiving, very comfortable, and the length is perfect! I was looking for something that would compliment my curves and Whoot there it is! (Corny I know) LOL

No Limit (s) : A week of THIS Army Fatigue Trench Coat...

I had a dream... yes, a dream about this coat. Woke up, googled it, and I saw nothing. The way my Creativity is set up these days, if I can't buy it, (which I couldn't) I'll make it! So I went to the thrift store, bought three jackets, and put them all together.

The next question I had was, what would I wear this coat with? Answer: Hell, Army Fatigue IS the new black. So let's just say Everything! LOL I plan to dress this up, dress it down, I'm wearing this mug to the gym, and the laundry mat! HAHAHAHA

Since the University of Alabama won the National Championship last night. I had to add the houndstooth. Today we're mixing prints.

Jacket- Thrifted / Created

Jeans- DIY

Clothes in Shxt: A Fashion tribute to Solange Knowles Day 2

It's no secret that my favorite Knowles' sister fashion wise is SOLANGE hands down!  I mean can you blame me? Her style is creative, it's forward, it's unapologetic, fierce, fabulous, represents freedom and speaks to my creative soul!

When styling for clients her fashion profile is one I draw from for inspiration I had an idea. For my Birthday, I wanted to dedicate a fashion week to Solange. I'd take a few of her looks, recreate them (whether it be sewn by me or thrifted), take pic and post! #CelebrityStyleCapture Well, I ended up breaking my camera =(. But, where there's a will there's a way! Lucky for me I have friends who just so happen to be MU and photography experts!

I get to dress like Solange for a whole week and I'm too excited about it.

Let's get into this $1200 Michelle Mason Leather Sleeved Trench tho! I was so bothered at how hot this was, that my creative wheels begin to turn! Now, there's no way that I can afford this, but I can recreate it! I thrifted my Trench! It was a $4.99 buy! My first thought was to use spray paint, but I had some extra red fabric around the house. I didn't feel that my coat was long enough anyway so I did a little sewing by adding the red to the bottom of the coat and whallah!

CALL GYRL...BOOTS OOTD: RE-VISITED

Good Sunday Afternoon Folks! It was such a beautiful non-wintry day yesterday, you know the type of day that makes you wanna get REALLY Cute for no reason...and that's what I did! I actually wore this for a night out during Thanksgiving break but Didn't get the right photos to post. I got this Tribal print dress from Fashion to Figure a few months back. I paired the dress with tights and this Red blazer (staple closet piece) and the fit was a hit... I felt like an extra on the movie "Pretty Woman" with the boots on... =)

             To be honest this post is really all about the thigh high boots! Got these from Torrid! 

           Boots are comfortable but better for the REALLY cold days, I was hot as H3LL!! lol

                              Anything other than RED LIPS would be unacceptable! lol

                                               BEHIND THE SCENES... Close up

So...I'm adding these boots to the "I feel SEXY" section in my closet... Can't wait to wear these babies again. Have a great Sunday!! Cheers to a productive work week!

What are some staple pieces in your closet?

Keep Dreamin,
