Casually Clueless

So this look was definitely inspired by the movie Clueless, which is one of my favorite movies.  I loved Cher's red dress, thought Dionne's braids were gorgeous, and I even had a purple Jansport mini backpack that my aunt gave me one year. And of course, when I saw Rihanna wearing the same dress years later, it rejuvenated my love for the 90's all over again.  To give it my own twist, I decided to pair my dress with my favorite leopard-print Adidas for comfort and my bucket bag while I shopped in the uncomfortably crowded stores during tax-free weekend.

Southern Midi Style

So I decided to try wearing a silhouette I don't normally gravitate to-a midi skater dress.  It's a bit southern, 1950's housewife, and though I am from (and currently in) the South, it's just not my thing.  It's really just a longer version of a skater dress (which I sometimes like, depending on the length which, if too short, can fly up with the wind :(  However, I've been seeing them a lot more, especially on the First Lady and Jessica Alba, who both wear this style of dress often.
Will I try this style of dress again? I don't know, maybe, because I actually like the one I have on.  But I don't see it being a staple in my closet. However, that's the same thing I said about midi body con dresses and skirts, and now I have like four!

Stripe Two

 

Clearly I love black/white stripes (see my last post ). This dress I'm wearing is one of my favorites and I love when summer comes around so I can wear it.  So of course I loved Zendaya's look when I spotted it!  I traded in what I normally wear with this- flat sandals and bright accessories for heels, hoops and a bit of a red lip.

Mustard Mix

So I just needed a different way to wear these pants and Jessica Alba provided me with a new style inspiration.

P.S. Life caught up with me these past few months and I just got too busy to keep up with this blog, but I'm back at it again! Happy Tuesday!
 P.P.S. So sorry the pic is a bit blurry...I didn't realize the camera was out of focus until I was uploading the pics....

Green

Every year for the past few years, I decide on a color(s) that I want to wear a lot of for the fall and spring. When I saw Emma Stone in this dress, I decided to make green (hunter, forest, and the jewel tone version which I have on) my fall color.       (I also chose Ivory...see the previous blog.)  Unfortunately, these shades of green are a bit hard to find so in the end, I only found this skirt. I already had the blazer, so I figured I would pair them together.  I'll try again next year *shrugs*

White Macadamia

 I would have never in a million years paired white and off-white together.  Why not? Well, reason one is that I felt (and still kind of feel) one shade is for winter and the other shade is for summer, so both shades of clothing are never in my closet at the same time.  Two, I just never liked how the colors looked paired together.  I felt like it clashed too much.  And then Rihanna (of course) goes and wears it....and now I love it lol! And that's what always happens to me when Rihanna wears anything!

Long Vest

I love vests, kimonos, and coverups in general, so of course I had to purchase this long vest when I saw Laura Govan (who I must say has GREAT style) in hers! These vests are nice to wear on my "feeling fat" days and when I want to wear "too short" styles in conservative settings, as I did on this day. (Plus, this skirt kept rising up like all my pencil skirts do, which is incredibly annoying smh!)  Once it gets warmer, I plan to wear my other long vest I have the way Laura has done here, which I can't wait to try out because I don't normally pair long or big clothes together because the proportions can make you look bigger or sloppy. Check me out below....
