boyfriend tee // part II

 

 My previous post I was wearing this black boyfriend t-shirt.
I wanted to girly it up this time around since it was kind of masculine in part I.
Here is the second look.

boyfriend tee // part I

Hey there!
I hope your week is going well. Mine has been pretty hectic since the school year is coming to a close end. Being full time college student doesn't make it any easier. But that doesn't give me an excuse to neglect posting right?! 

 I decided to do something different. I have a black boyfriend tee that is super versatile. It obviously has a masculine look with the high neckline and boxy sleeves but, it can be feminized with little touches here and there.  It helps that it's black too.  I would even go as far to say the male inspired style kind of influences my style. Being a tom-boy every once in a while is nice with a feminine twist is fun.

Sporty casual

Can you believe it is already March?! I can't. Since it's becoming a tad warmer I've been attracted back to my bright colors. So lately I've been really attracted to incorporating cool kicks into my outfits. I love sneakers because they're eye catching, comfortable, and versatile. I mean you can dress them up,  dress them down, or just wear them. With the outfit I am wearing, I wanted the sneakers to be the focal point. So I wore more earthy tones and subtle colors. So I challenge you to wear a pair of your sneakers/ sporty shoes with a casual outfit and try to make them the focal point. They can be your Nike free runs, Jordans, Air forces, Addias, Converse All-stars, Reebok's, Vans, Nike Air Max, Nike Roshe, New balance's or whatever pair I haven't mentioned.

Honestly, I'm just a wanna be sneaker head.

Much Love Xxx

Meet Zach

Meet Zach.
One of the first people I have befriended my freshmen year of college. Despite our busy schedules, we do not see each other as much but still remain pretty tight knit when we get a chance to catch up. I admire his style and even more his ability to love people. There is no doubt that he was given a gift to love people for who they are, and I don't know many people who truly posses that ability.

Lazy effort

Hey there! I hope your week has been great! 

Do you ever just have a lazy day when you don't want to put to much effort into an outfit, and it will hopefully appear to others you put effort in? Well this outfit sure surprised me when I put it together. I rarely plan ahead for outfits and this combination was literally thought of on a whim before heading out to run errands. I wanted to be comfortable, so the hooded zip up made sense while the rest really doesn't. (I mean a skirt, tights w/ white ked like shoes, a denim top gold lion chain? haha!)  But it makes sense to me so I rocked it. I literally swapped out a sweater I had layered on top of the denim shirt earlier in the day before switching to the hooded jacket which transformed the whole outfit. 

So what can be taken away from this outfit?

Rock what you want and with confidence. And if you look strange, oh well.

Funky Fancy

This past weekend I had the opportunity to attend my schools homecoming banquet and it was a blast. I would have to say my favorite part of it all was getting ready (no shame haha). It's not everyday you get an opportunity to dress up and I sure took the opportunity to do so! The theme of homecoming was Gatsby themed and obviously I didn't follow suit with what I am wearing lol. When I think Gatsby I think: Roaring 20's, flapper dresses, headbands and red lips. But knowing me I like to go against the grain. So I have been dying to wear this mermaid fit Ankara print dress. It was tailor made from Nigeria! I'm in love with the color scheme and how earthy and natural it looks yet eye catching. I got a ton of compliments at the the banquet on the dress too! Its not everyday you see a funky pattern dress!

So I challenge you to go against the grain when it comes to your style. Don't be afraid wear something outside of your comfort zone. You have to have confidence when you wear it and people will notice. If your uncomfortable, people will notice your not confident in what you wear. So step outside of the box and be unique!

Dress: Custom made from Nigeria

Earrings: Goodwill

It's bright outside!

Happy new year! 2014 is going to great year...if you WANT to make it a great  year. I encourage you to write out goals for what you want to accomplish this year! Make goals not resolutions! As well I encourage you to pursue new experiences! Make a plan to make those experiences happen. More often than not those experience won't happen unless you pursue them!

 My style goals are to mix n match, not wear as much bright colors, wear more earth tones, and more prints and patterns. As for my outfit I literally put it together in a matter of seconds. For some reason I come with the best outfits the morning of lol! I haven't worn this sweater this winter so I was determined to where it this week! Have a beautiful week!
