Who Inspired Your Fashion???

WHO INSPIRES YOU TO DRESS THE WAY YOU ARE? COULD IT BE YOUR MOTHER, BROTHER, SISTER, CELEBRITIES, DESIGNERS, THRIFT STORES??? DO YOU MIX OLD WITH NEW??? WHAT IS IT?? FASHION DESCRIBES WHO YOU ARE AND NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. BEYONCE SAID HER INSPIRATION OF FASHION IS HER MOTHER. SHE LOVED HOW HER MOTHER WOULD TAKE OLD FABRICS AND MAKE IT WORK FOR THE NEW SCHOOL.

PERSONALLY, I WATCH TELEVISION SHOWS THAT DEALS WITH FASHION. "WHAT NOT TO WEAR" IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THE SHOW TAKES PEOPLE THAT NEED AN UPGRADE WITH THEIR STYLE. I LOOK FOR WHAT I CAN CHANGE OR UPDATE ABOUT MY STYLE. I KNOW I NEED MORE COLOR BECAUSE I'M USED TO WEARING DARK CLOTHES. I ALSO LIKE TO WATCH "HOW DO I LOOK". SOMETIMES I ASK MYSELF THAT QUESTION BEFORE I LEAVE OUT THE DOOR. THIS PARTICULAR SHOW DEALS WITH PEOPLE FASHION THAT HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY HELP THEM UPGRADE THEIR STYLE.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO LOOK? DIVA, BEAUTY QUEEN, BUSINESS MAN OR  A MODEL? IF YOU WANT TO BE AN DIVA, DO IT! BEING A DIVA MEANS NOBODY CAN TELL YOU ANYTHING. BE CREATIVE WITH YOUR STYLE!!! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PLEASE DON'T BE SCARED TO SHOW OUT AND SHOW OFF! BE AN INSPIRATION FOR SOME ELSE LIKE YOUNG LADIES AND YOUNG GENTLEMEN. SHOW THEM HOW TO DRESS FOR THE WORKFORCE OR ON THE REGULAR !

HOW DO YOU WANT TO BE TREATED LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

CLOTHES TELL IT ALL! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TODAY'S TOPIC IS ABOUT RESPECT AND APPROACH. THEIR IS A QUOTE THAT SAY " TREAT OTHERS THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED" WELL THIS STATEMENT HAS TO BECOME A STANDARD IN LIFE. LIFE IS ABOUT CHOICES AND WHEN WE MAKE THOSE CHOICES WE HAVE TO SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES. THE SAME GOES FOR CLOTHES. IF YOU LIKE TO BE APPROACHED RESPECTFULLY THEN DRESS LIKE IT. YOUR CLOTHES TELL IT ALL... BASED OFF OF YOUR ATTITUDE, SPIRIT AND OUTLOOK ON LIFE. JOBS, SCHOOLS, OVERSEAS, AND PEOPLE LOOK AND JUDGE EVERYONE.. WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE THE JUDGE OF OTHER STYLES?

GENTLEMEN, TRULY DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES THIS SHOULD BE REPEATED...... PULL UP YOUR PANTS. IF YOU KNOW THE MEANING... WHY ARE YOUR PANTS BELOW YOUR WAIST? WHY, WHY , AND WHY??? DO YOU THINK YOU CAN GET A JOB? YEA, AT AN MCDONALD'S OR BURGER KING. IF YOU KNOW THAT... WHY DO IT? AN KING SHOULD NEVER HAVE HIS PANTS OFF HIS BEHIND.  HE CAN BE THE CEO, STOCK BROKER OR LAWYER YOU NEVER KNOW. CORPORATE AMERICA DOESN'T EXCEPT THAT.... WE NEED TO DO BETTER GENTLEMEN.

LADIES, WE NEED TO START TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT CLOTHES OUR FRIENDS WEAR AND CAN CAUSE "TOO MUCH ATTENTION". WOMEN COME IN EVERY SHAPE AND SIZE BUT SOMETHINGS YOUR FRIEND WEARS DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN WEAR IT TOO! LOVE YOUR BODY AND THE PERSON YOU ARE. IF YOU ARE A LITTLE OVERWEIGHT AND DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE TO SHOW A LOT OF SKIN THEN DON'T. AT THE END OF THE DAY, MEN ARE GOING TO APPROACH YOU ON THE WAY YOU DRESS.  

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT..... KEEP CALM GO THRIFTING!

BEING DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS IS A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT IN LIFE.DOESN'T MATTER IF YOUR CLOTHES ARE OLD OR NEW, IT'S YOUR STYLE! TODAY'S TOPIC IS THRIFTING!  BUY OLD CLOTHES IS NOT BAD PEOPLE BUT IT'S A RECREATION.YOUR RECREATING A STYLE THAT MIGHT NOT BE "IN" AND IT WORKS FOR YOU. WILL I GIVE EXAMPLES OF STORES? YES, YES AND ANOTHER YES! VINTAGE IS IN AND FITTING IN IS OUT. CAN I GET A AMEN?


WHAT IS YOUR DEFINITION OF VINTAGE? OLD....WELL VINTAGE IS TAKING OLD STYLES FROM THE 50'S, 60'S, 70'S, 80'S AND 90'S AND MESHING IT WITH TODAY STYLE. IF YOU HAVE NOTICE, THE FADS WE THOUGHT WERE GONE THEY ARE NOW COMING BACK. HIGH WAIST SHORTS,LOAFERS, DRESSES, COSBY SWEATERS, PATTERNS AND RUFFLES.THESE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF TRENDS THAT CAME BACK. CAN YOU FIND THESE IN A THRIFT STORE? YES, THRIFT STORE HAVE THEM AND ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IT LOOK AND BUY!

FOREVER 21, ABERCROMBIE,WET SEAL, AEROPOSTLE AND GAP ARE GREAT STORES BUT THERE PRICES FOR CLOTHES ARE HIGH. I'M NOT BASHING THE STORES BUT IF YOU ARE GOING FOR A PARTICULAR LOOK I SUGGEST GOING TO A THRIFT STORE.WHY? RATHER THAN GOING TO A STORE AND SPENDING OVER 100 BUCKS,GO A THRIFT STORE IT'S CHEAPER .THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF CLOTHES ARE EQUIVALENT TO ANY OF THESE OTHER STORES.

 

THRIFT STORES ARE ALL AROUND! TAKE THE TIME AND GO TO VISIT ONE! MY FIRST EXPERIENCE OF GOING TO ONE WAS THE BEST TIME OF MY LIFE. I THOUGHT I COULD NEVER FIND ANYTHING IN A STORE LIKE THAT BUT ONCE I TOOK A LOOK I WANTED EVERYTHING.IF YOUR IN THE AREA OF VIRGINIA VISIT RUMORS. THEY ARE LOCATED ON BROAD STREET IN RICHMOND. THERE IS ALSO PLACES LIKE GOODWILL AND PLATO'S CLOSET! TAKE THE TIME TO VISIT EACH OF THESE STORES, I PROMISE IT'S GOING TO BE A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!

PET PEEVES!! OMGEEEEEEEEEE CANNOT STAND IT! TOP 10

OKAY MY LOVES. ITS ABOUT THAT TIME AGAIN!!! TIME TO GET TIPS ABOUT FASHION FROM ME OF COURSE!!!!! WELL, I'M HAVING A HARD TIME TO THINK OF A TOPIC THAT I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT.... BUT I GUESS I WILL  WRITE ABOUT MY PET PEEVES.THE TOP 10 THINGS I LIKE AND DON'T LIKE ABOUT FASHION. THIS IS GOING TO BE COMBINATION OF THE LAST BLOGS BUT MIGHT HAVE SOME TWIST AND TURNS IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.IF YOU WANT TO ADD MORE.. DO IT BECAUSE I LOVE HEARING YOUR OPINIONS LOVEBUGS!

LETS START WITH NUMBER 10... TO MY CURVACEOUS WOMEN OUT THERE WHO LOVE SHOWING THERE BODY....FIRSTLY, LET ME SAY I'M CURVY MYSELF BUT I KNOW WHAT PARTS OF MY BODY TO SHOW OFF IN A CLASSY WAY.I CAN'T STAND IT WHEN WOMEN TRY SO BAD TO FIT IN A CLOTHES AND IT DOESN'T FIT RIGHT. IT SHOWS OFF THE WRONG CURVES, STOMACH HANGING OVER OR LOVE HANDLES BUSTING OUT.... LADIES, LADIES, LADIES KNOW YOUR BODY TYPE. EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL BUT JUST WEAR THE RIGHT CLOTHES THAT WILL FIT YOUR BODY.

NUMBER 9... FELLAS CAN WE PLEASE PULL OUR PANTS UP ABOVE THE WAIST LINE. WE ALL KNOW WHERE IT ORIGINATED FROM SO... WHY DO WE DO IT GENTLEMEN??? I DON'T WANT TO SEE THE UNDERWEAR YOU HAVE ON.... THAT IS YOUR BUSINESS. IT'S NOT COOL, STYLISH OR TRENDY.


NUMBER 8... CRACK IS WHACK LADIES.BABY GIRL I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR BOOTY CRACK EVERY TIME YOU BEND DOWN, OVER OR WHATEVER. I THINK THAT IF YOUR HAVE A PAIR OF PANTS THAT DOES NOT FIT YOUR ANYMORE GIVE THEM AWAY. IT'S BETTER TO BE CRACK LESS THAN YOUR  CRACK TO BE SHOWN TO THE WORLD.

NUMBER 7... LADIES LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS.I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SOME THINK THAT  IT'S CUTE.YOU CAN PUT LEGGINGS WITH SHORTS OR A SKIRT BUT IT'S NOT CUTE TO HAVE YOUR BEHIND OUT ITS JUST MY OPINION. I WEAR LEGGINGS BUT WITH MY BODY TYPE I DON'T WANT TO ATTRACT THE WRONG ATTENTION TO ME. AGAIN THIS JUST MY OPINION. WEAR SWEATS INSTEAD.

NUMBER 6... JEWELRY IS MUST WHEN IT COMES TO OUTFIT BUT YOUR JEWELRY STANDS OUT MORE THAN THE OUTFIT. JEWELRY IS COMPLIMENT AND  NOT WORN TAKE OVER THE OUTFIT. FELLAS,GOLD CAN BE EVERYWHERE BUT NOT ALL OVER YOUR BODY. JEEZ.... TAKE THE TIME TO FIGURE OUT WHAT JEWELRY YOU WANT TO WEAR THEN COMPLEMENT IT WITH YOUR OUTFIT OF THE DAY. LADIES, DIAMONDS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND BUT LET'S OUT SHINE THE DIAMONDS.


NUMBER 5...  LADIES AND GENTLEMEN STOP TRYING TO FIT WITH TRENDS. IT'S CALLED STANDING OUT!! SHOULD NOT MATTER WHAT OTHERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT YOU OR WHAT THEY THINK.... IT'S YOUR STYLE ROCK IT LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!!

OKAY NOW I'M GOING TO TWIST IT UP! SINCE YOU HAVE SEEN MY PET PEEVES FOR THE LAST FOUR I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU TIPS ON HOW TO DRESS FOR SUCCESS AND ATTRACTION TO THE OPPOSITE SEX!

NUMBER 4... FELLAS, RUSSEL SIMMONS, STEVE HARVEY, IDRIS ELBA AND OMAR EPPS ARE EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE YOU SHOULD LOOK UP TO FOR STYLE. YOU CAN HAVE THE HIP HOP FLAVOR OF RUSS BUT THE SMOOTH AND SEXIEST OF STEVE HARVEY AND IDRIS ELBA OR CHILL MODE LIKE OMAR EPPS IN LOVE AND BASKETBALL.  

NUMBER 3.. LADIES, STOP DRESSING FOR ATTENTION. INSTEAD DRESS FOR YOURSELF AND TELL YOURSELF I AM BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY PAIR OF CLOTHES.

NUMBER 2... IF YOUR A COUPLE, HELP EACH OTHER WITH CLOTHES. WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND COMMENT ON THE CLOTHES OF WHAT YOU LIKE OR DON'T LIKE.

NUMBER 1...ROCK, WEAR, LOVE THE STATEMENT I LIVE BY EVERYDAY! GENTLEMEN AND LADIES ROCK WHAT YOU WEAR AND LOVE WHAT YOU HAVE ON! ITS YOUR CLOTHES!!!

GOLD ALL IN MY CHAIN BOW!

HELLO LOVE BUGS, TODAY'S TOPIC IS JEWELRY. GOLD, SILVER, DIAMOND, RUBY, FAKE OR REAL EVERYBODY NEEDS JEWELRY. AS FOR MYSELF, I CAN NEVER WALK OUT THE HOUSE WITHOUT JEWELRY. I DON'T CARE IF I HAVE ON A PAIR OF SWEATPANTS, I HAVE TO MAKE SURE SOME  JEWELRY ON MY BODY. JEWELRY IS ESSENTIAL WITH EVERY OUTFIT YOU PUT ON LOVES. THE SONG SAYS " SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND"! IN THIS BLOG, YOUR GOING TO KNOW WHAT IS TOO MUCH, TOO LITTLE AND JUST RIGHT . I WILL ALSO GIVE YOU EXAMPLES OF SIMPLE CLOTHING THAT CAN ACCENTUATED YOUR JEWELRY.















GOLD ALL IN MY CHAIN, GOLD ALL IN MY RING, GOLD ON MY WATCH ..... YOU CAN FINISH THE REST OF THE LYRICS. TRINIDAD JAMES HAS AN OBSESSION WITH GOLD EVERYWHERE. NOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? YES, IT'S OVERBOARD. THIS IS WHERE  "TOO MUCH" SUBJECT COMES INTO PLAY.  AN EXAMPLE, THERE IS NOT NEED FOR YOU HAVE ON THREE NECKLACES, FIVE RINGS OR TEN...  THAT'S OVER THE TOP. YOUR JEWELERY IS A COMPLEMENT TO THE OUTFIT AND MAKES IT BEAUTIFUL. YOU END UP LOOKING LIKE EITHER 2CHAINZ OR TRINIDAD JAMES.... I KNOW YALL DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. BELOW ARE MORE EXAMPLES OF THIS TREND. IT'S NOT CUTE BUT IN THERE EYES, THEY GOT IT THEY WOULD LIKE TO FAULT IT. DON'T BLAME THEM! DO YOUR THANG!

TOO LITTLE IS IN THE MIDDLE BECAUSE YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MUCH BUT NEVER WANT TO LITTLE.I WILL SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HAVE JUST A PAIR OF EARRINGS OR NECKLACE BUT YOU WANT THAT PIECE OF JEWELRY TO STAND OUT. THE OSCARS THIS YEAR,SOME CELEBRITIES LOOKED ELEGANT AND CLASSY AND EACH CELEBRITY HAD A PIECE OF JEWELRY THAT STOOD OUT. KERRY WASHINGTON, KELLY ROWLAND, HALLE BERRY AND ZOE SALDANA ARE PERFECT EXAMPLES. BELOW ARE PICTURES OF THE EXAMPLES! NOTICE EACH OF THEM HAVE ON SIGNIFICANT PIECE OF JEWELRY BUT IT COMPLIMENTS EACH DRESS.

JUST RIGHT FOR YOU! JEWELRY DESCRIBES YOUR STYLE, PERSONALITY AND THE OUTFIT YOUR TRYING TO PULL OFF! IF YOU WANT TO BE CLASSY AND ELEGANT GO WITH A SPECIFIC PIECE OF JEWELRY THAT STANDS OUT WHETHER IT'S NECKLACE, EARRINGS, BRACELETS OR RING. IF YOUR GOING ON AN JOB INTERVIEW WEAR A SMALL PAIR OF EARRINGS AND MAYBE A NECKLACE OR BRACELET. NEVER WEAR TOO MUCH BECAUSE LIKE I SAID YOU WANT TO STAND OUT NOT THE JEWELRY. SEE EXAMPLES AT THE BOTTOM LOVEBUGS!!!

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANT ME TO WRITE ABOUT IN MY NEXT BLOG! 
LOVE YOU !!!!!!

OH YOU ASKED FOR ME ??

HEY LOVES ! I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL FOR SHOWING LOVE ON THE BLOG AND KEEPING IT REAL WITH ME. I'M NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING THAT IS A TREND... BUT I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE TASTE OF MY STYLE! SINCE I'M WRITING ABOUT FASHION AND HOW I LOVE SEEING NEW CLOTHES ON DIFFERENT PEOPLE ..I'VE DECIDED TO SHOW YOU ALL MY FASHION SENSE! FIRSTLY, WHEN I WALK INTO A STORE IT FEELS LIKE A CANDY SHOP. SO MANY CLOTHES BUT SUCH LITTLE TIME. TAKING IDEAS FROM THE STORE MANNEQUINS OR SEEING HOW THERE EMPLOYEES DRESS, I BASE MY DECISION ON WHAT I AM GOING TO BUY AND WOULD I WEAR IT AFTERWARDS.

AS SEEN ABOVE, YOU SEE I LOVE WEARING EARTH TONES LIKE(BROWN'S & BLUE'S) WITH A TOUCH OF COLOR.DEPENDING ON HOW I FEEL, MY OUTFITS WILL SHOW IT. NORMALLY,A T-SHIRT AND JEANS WOULD BE ONE OF THE EASIEST OUTFITS TO PUT TOGETHER BUT MY PROGRESSION THROUGH COLLEGE HAS MADE ME REALIZE YOU NEED TO LEAVE AN MARK.WHEN I GRADUATE I WOULD LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED AS THE GIRL WHO KNOWS HER STYLE AND FEELS COMFORTABLE.  I TRY TO INCORPORATE SCARFS WITH MOST OUTFITS.IN THE BLOG, "SNUGGLE, IT'S COLD OUTSIDE" I TOLD YOU ALL SCARF'S GO WITH EVERY OUTFIT.ALSO, I'M STARTING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH HATS TOO. IN THE FIRST PHOTO MY HAT DOESN'T RUIN THE OUTFIT.IT  MAKES IT COME ALIVE.

HARD TO BELIEVE, IN THESE PHOTOS I HAVE ON THE SAME CARDIGAN! BOTH OUTFITS ARE DIFFERENT BUT CAN BE WORN IN A CLUB EVENT.LADIES, ITS OKAY TO WEAR A PAIR OF STRAIGHT LEGS FOR THE CLUB. IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT HOW MUCH SKIN YOUR SHOWING BUT MORE ABOUT BEING COMFORTABLE. THE COLOR SCHEMS OF PINK YOU WANT TO HAVE A NEUTRAL COLOR LIKE TAN OR BLACK. IT MAKES THE PINK STAND OUT RATHER THAN BLENDING IN WITH EVERYTHING ELSE. TWO MORE ESSENTIALS ARE JEWERLY AND WATCHES. JEWERLY CAN MAKE OR BREAK AN OUTFIT. MY FAVORITE TYPE OF JEWERLY TO WEAR IS GOLD AND PEARLS.THE COMPLEXION OF MY SKIN MAKES GOLD  AND PEARLS STAND OUT THAN FADING LIKE SILVER. WATCHES ARE NEW ACCESSORY THAT I LOVE TO ADD TO ALL OF MY OUTFITS.



THIS IS ME AND WHAT I LIKE TO WEAR. TELL ME WHAT YOU LIKE OR DONT LIKE! ITS ALL ABOUT BEING YOURSELF AND LOVING THE CLOTHES YOU WEAR! ROCK, WEAR, LOVE
