VERSATILE IN ONE'S STYLE

NOWADAYS WHEN GOING SHOPPING, BEFORE PURCHASING THE ITEMS, I TRY TO THINK "COULD I WEAR THIS MORE THAN ONCE?" OR "HOW CAN I MAKE IT VERSATILE?" I FEEL LIKE I GET MORE THAN WHAT I BARGAIN FOR IN A SELECTIVE PIECE OF CLOTHING. PEOPLE GET SO PUZZLED ON HOW TO SHOW VERSATILITY IN A GARMENT. FOR EXAMPLE, THIS SLEEVLESS BUTTON-DOWN DRESS I CREATED 4 DIFFERENT WAYS TO WEAR THE LOOK. ITS AMAZING WHAT AN ACCESSORY CAN DO TO AN OUTFIT TO PORTRAY SUCH A DEFIANT FASHIONABLE LOOK! GET A GOOD VISUAL HOW I CAME UP WITH A TRENDY AND CHIC WAY TO MAKE THIS DRESS CREATE SUCH A CONVERSATION STATEMENT!

ANTHROPOLOGIE 

SLEEVELESS BUTTON-DOWN DRESS:

By: Holding Horses

$148.00

Having the Dress unbuttoned and creating it as a sleeveless oversized top. 

•Adding a pair of Distressed Denim

•A knit Top

•A floppy or Fedora Hat

-For a more casual Style

Just Adding a Belt to Sench at the waist.

(This look is great for curvy women to wear) 

•Adding a knit Top

•Adding a Belt to a look is always a good go to is a garment is shapeless

-For a more Chic Style

If you're a layered girl, the more layers the more dimension and definition towards an outfit. 

•Putting on a midi length vest or long-length one.(whether it's knit, cotton or etc...)

•Same type of top

•Wearing as an oversize shirt dress

-For a more Layered Contemporary Style

Last but not least....wearing as an actual dress 

•Adding a decorative scarf or even a Bomber jacket for an edgy look.

Always find the versatility in every garment you have. You get more for your buck and plus, you learn to appreciate what you have in your closet! You never know what fun and stylish outfit plays you can come up with just one article of clothing! XoXo

KEEPING IT SIMPLE

I'M ALL ABOUT BEING CASUAL AND CHIC AT THE SAME TIME! AS SIMPLE AS WEARING A GRAY OVERSIZE T-SHIRT AND SOME JEANS, BUT TRENDING IT WITH A PAIR OF STATEMENT SHOES. KEEPING IT AT A MINIMAL IN YOUR WARDROBE, HAS MORE OF AN EFFORTLESS LOOK. SOMETIMES OVERDOING YOUR OUTFIT CAN COME OFF CHAOTIC! WE TRY SO HARD TO CREATE SUCH A LARGE COLOR PALETTE AND PATTERN PLAY ALL IN ONE OUTFIT THAT WE FORGET TO SHOW MORE "MINIMALISM" IN OUR STYLE. ITS NOTHING WRONG WITH KEEPING IT SIMPLE FOR A CHANGE, IT FEED OFF A CLEANER AND POLISHED LOOK.

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING...HOW CAN SOMETHING SO PLAIN BE MORE ATTENTION SEEKING? EASY...LOOKS LIKE THIS HAS MORE LONGEVITY IN FASHION THEN GOING OVERBOARD, AND OF COURSE WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO WEAR ESSENTIAL LOOKS YEAR AFTER YEAR WITHOUT BEING OUTDATED! 

IT'S OK MY FASHION LOVERS TO CONTINUE WITH THAT CASUAL, MINIMAL AND CHIC COMBO IN OUR ATTIRE AND FEEL FASHIONABLE DOING IT!

CLOSET CLEANSING WITH JUNE AMBROSE

LET ME JUST START BY SAYING, WAS EXCITED TO CHECK OUT THE 2ND ANNUAL CLOSET CLEANSING SALE HOSTED BY MY FAVORITE CELEB WARDROBE STYLIST, JUNE AMBROSE, AUGUST, 14th 2015. FROM THE ANTICIPATION OF WAITING IN LINE OUTSIDE OF BOUTIQUE WHERE THE EVENT WAS HELD, DEFINITELY AN ANXIOUS FEELING READY TO SHOP. 

JUNE GIVING HER GRAND ENTRANCE, SPRUCING THROUGH THE CROWD TO GET EVERYONE ROWD UP FOR THE CLOSET CLEANSING EVENT! AS THEY OPEN THE DOORS, IT WAS A WRAP AFTER THAT! ALL THE LATEST "JUNE BY JUNE AMBROSE" SHOES YOU COULD THINK OF WAS ON SALE, DESIGNER SUNSHADES, VINTAGE CHANEL AND DOLCE GABBANA BAGS, AND MAJORITY OF HER POPULAR PIECES WAS ON RACKS READY TO BE SOLD BY CUSTOMERS. IT WAS A SIGHT TO SEE EVERYONE GRABBING GARMENTS OFF THE RACKS AND SHOES, ELATED BY THEIR BUYS! THE CONNECTION WAS REAL, EVERYBODY IN THE STORE WAS HELPING ONE ANOTHER, SELLING SUGGESTIONS AND GOOD CONVERSATION! STARSTRUCKED SEEING JUNE AMBROSE IN ACTION, ASSISTING CUSTOMERS WITH OUTFITS AND GIVING TIPS ON FASHION. I FELT HONORED TO BE IN THE SAME BUILDING AS HER, WATCHING HER IN STYLIST MODE, REMINDED ME OF MYSELF.

THAT'S JUST THE ICING ON THE CAKE, JUNE BEING SUCH A BREATH OF FRESH AIR TO HOLD A CONVERSATION WITH US(CUSTOMERS) TAKING PICTURES, SHOWING LOVE. SEEING HER TWO CHILDREN ASSISTED HER WITH THE EVENT ALONGSIDE WITH BOUTIQUE OWNER SELIMA! IT AMAZES ME TO SEE SUCH AN ICON PUT IN WORK FOR SUCH A GREAT CAUSE FOR THE COMMUNITY BY SELLING HER GORGEOUS GARMENTS AND DONATING THE REST OF THE ITEMS TO THE PEOPLE IN NEED!

WHAT A GOOD WAY TO REVAMP YOUR CLOSET ADDING NEW GARMENTS AND RID OF THE OLD ONES TO SELL OR GIVE AWAY TO PEOPLE THAT CAN PUT IT TO GOOD USE OR BENEFIT FROM IT!

THIS POST REALLY SPOKE VOLUME YESTERDAY!

A POP OF COLOR

IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT I LOVE TO TAKE RISKS IN MY WARDROBE, ESPECIALLY WITH COLOR. ITS SUMMER, SO WHY NOT TEST VIBRANT COLOR PALETTES IN ONE'S OUTFIT. IF YOU DECIDE TO ADD COLOR, MAKE SURE YOU FIND A CONTRASTING COLOR THAT COMPLIMENT EACH OTHER AND THE BASE OUTFIT SHOULD BE NEUTRAL, FOR THE COLORS TO STAND OUT.

I'M NOT MUCH OF A NECKLACE GIRL, BUT WHEN I FIND AN EXTRAVAGANT PIECE, ITS A MUST THAT I BRING IT HOME WITH ME! FOUND THIS TURQUOISE BEAUTY IN ANTHROPOLOGIE ON SALE FOR $30 WHICH ORIGINAL PRICE $68. EAGER TO PURCHASE THE JEWELRY PIECE, BUT HAD NO IDEA HOW I WOULD WEAR OR WHAT TO WEAR IT WITH.

SINCE THE NECKLACE WAS ALREADY FLASHY ENOUGH, TONED IT DOWN WITH A BLACK TOP AND RIPPED DENIM. PUSHING THE ENVELOPE A BIT, I CHALLENGED MYSELF WITH ANOTHER VIBRANT COLOR TO ADD ONTO MY ENSEMBLE, WITH MAGENTA STRAPPED SANDALS. THOUGH IT WAS A RISK, BUT "RISKY" IS MY MIDDLE NAME. I GUESS THAT'S WHAT IT MEAN WHEN THEY SAY, "WITH FASHION, ANYTHING GOES!"

FASHION GURUS, DON'T BE AFRAID TO ADD COLOR TO YOUR WARDROBE, EVEN IF IT IS MORE THAN ONE COLOR SCHEME. COLOR BLOCKING CAN BE YOUR BEST FRIEND TO A DAILY FASHION TREND!

MIDSUMMER NIGHT DREAM

WHAT A PRETTY GOOD WEEKEND! WAS INVITED TO A NETWORKING EVENT TO INTRODUCED MYSELF ON MY JOURNEY AS A WARDROBE STYLIST AND TO CONNECT WITH OTHER ENTREPRENEURS. HAD NO CLUE WHAT TO WEAR UNTIL I SEEN THE FLYER AND THEME NAME FOR THE EVENT. "MIDSUMMER NIGHT DREAM" WAS THE ACTUAL NAME OF THE EVENT. THE FLYER LOOKED VERY WHIMSICAL, ENCHANTED AND LIKE A SUMMER'S DREAM,  I KNEW THE PERFECT ATTIRE TO WEAR ACCORDINGLY!

MY STYLING IN WARDROBE SOMETIMES CONSIST OF CERTAIN THEME'S ON A DAILY BASIS. THAT'S HOW I PREP MYSELF EACH WHEN I'M GETTING DRESSED.

THE FUNCTION WAS ON A ROOFTOP, WHERE THEY HAD DECORATIONS SUCH AS: TEA LIGHT CANDLES AND FLOWER PETALS UNLINED WITH EACH OTHER. IT WAS SUCH A SIGHT TO EXPERIENCE! WEARING NOTHING BUT VIBRANT AND TROPICAL COLORS TO ADD TO THE DECORUM OF THE PARTY. USING MY SHUG JACKET AS A TOP AND WEARING MY COLORED BLOCK SILK CUT COCKTAIL PANTS THAT I GOT FOR ONLY $20(which is a steal from a consignment shop)

I'M ALL ABOUT APPEARANCE AND STAYING IN THEMES FOR AN EVENT, MAKES IT MORE FUN TO PLAY DRESS UP! OH BY THE WAY, WAS EXCITED ABOUT MY HENNA TATTOO I HAD DONE AT THE NETWORKING EVENT, WHICH ADDED SO FLARE TO MY LOOK FOR THE EVENING!

What She's Wearing:

•Floral top-H&M

•Silk Cut Cocktail Pants-The Zone Boutique

•Nude Strappy Sandals-Target
