Spring 1st: Seize the season

Happy First Day of Spring!

The pollen, the bees, and the wasps are out, but so is the Sun! Flowers are blooming, trees are coming alive,and bright colors are returning to our wardrobe! YASSSSS!

I'm working for Joann Arts and crafts part-time and I'm surrounded by a whole lot fabric, and it's torture! Lol Any who, I bought the fabric for this skirt with spring in mind and it did not disappoint.

The high waist pleated skirts are very flattering, so I made me one. Paired it with a thrifted blue jean top and I'm feeling so ready for the season! Happy Spring People!

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

Top- Thrifted

Boots - Citi Trends

Happy Tuesday!

Clothes in Shxt: A Fashion tribute to Solange Knowles

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.

As I was browsing for looks to recreate, I fell so far in love with this Alessandra Rich Gown she wore to the Angel Ball NYC in 2011. It's definitely a classic!

Drapped for the gods!

Time to make that change

 

 

Spring and Fall are my two favorite seasons. The transitional seasons, signs that newness is approaching. I can always appreciate newness. It's time! Time to dust off those blazers, light jackets and wind breakers if you see fit! I smell FALL!

 

 

Currently Trending: African print, crop tops, and denim. 

 

My thrifting budget has been cut in half in an effort to live below my means, it's not that bad because my creativity is on level 57 and I'm re-styling a lot of classic pieces from my closet. I've had these thrifted pants for a few years now, and this is how I decided to wear them today. Denim Jacket is from the Mens' section at the thrift store as well, doused in bleach of course!

I made the top out of some scrap fabric laying around and the shoes are probably the most comfortable pair I own. They're from Shoe Show.

 

I'm ITCHING for a new hair do! I have a talented friend who makes wigs! This fro is one of hers Pretty Protective Styles By V! It's big and commands attention!!

 

Happy Fall loves!
