It's Fall! Fashion trends will tell you to whip out your browns, blacks, tans, earth tones, oranges, reds and darker shades to compliment the season. Turtle necks, cashmere sweaters, cardigans...the whole bit. Women, trendy women, will always throw a splash of neon on the darker tones. They must have something that pops!
Naturally, I would describe my style as Urban/Skater/Casual. T-shirts, polo, fitted jeans (NOT SKINNY), vest, flannel, button-up, casual shoe/a brown or black boot/dress shoe. I dress everything with my rings (sentimental) and a watch (Try not to over-do it. Do a bracelet or a ring, necklace or a bracelet. Always wear a watch). Lastly, fellas change it up sometimes. Cashmere sweaters, cardigans, jeans vs. pants...casual shoe vs. sneaker...plaid vs. logo shirts (ew!! Those shirts with the 6th grade designs and such..NO!)...To find out more about how I mix and match my style, the inspirations and pieces I pull to form my style, visit GQ, American Eagle, and Esquire-just to name a few!Ladies, your turn! I was raised by my mom. I have three sisters, a lot of aunts, females cousins and females in general in my life. Needless to say, women apparel has been prominent in my life since forever. Did I mention, I follow, have talked to and recently have gotten to meet fashion icon Kimora Lee Simmons?! Yup! (Follow her on twitter @OfficialKimora.) Let's get down to business. Heels heels heels! It elongates the legs. It supports the body. It adds curves and enhances a natural standing position...when done properly! Plus, it just looks s e x y!
Tis the season for a brown or darker shade, or animal print boot. A skinny jean and a street-chic shirt. (just a tip (smile)) You all have so many options to choose from. I can't even begin to get into it all. The best look for a woman, in my opinion, a high high HIGH heel, a jean (skinny, or flare), a blouse (accessorize w/ belt for body flattering purposes if you wish...). Feel free to drape with a blazer. (For more ideas and tips on everyday fashion visit JustFab.com, Elle - just to name a few!)Again, I can go on and on with you women. Men too! And let me be clear to the fellas. Yes, women have a greater selection to choose from, but our collection is fairly broad too. Mix and match! It goes a long way...ask the women!
Fashion is what it is...fashion; an expression of one's personality through items of clothing, put together to create a style.

So I def needed this post. LoL. I have never been much into fashion and following the latest trends but since having my daughters, I have realized I've gotten too comfortable and while I have not "let myself go" I mostly wear what I like to call "chill clothes" (jeans, tees, sneaks, etc). I have long wanted to wear heels more often but b/c I am not nor have I ever been much of a "girly' girl, I shyed away from heels fearing that I'd trip lots and/or fall or that my feet & legs would hurt. A friend of mine named Ashley, (@missfabellis) also blogs (beauty & fashion - http://www.fabellis.com/) & she recently gave me tips on how to condition my legs to get used to wearing heels, different types of heels that may work best for me at different stages, etc. Needless to say I was relieved to have her input b/c I'm planning to wear 5" heels for my bday (pray for me!) All in all, I'm trying to get out of this jeans & tee thing & start wearing more slacks, blouses, dresses, etc (i recently purchased my 1st pair of Sperry-like shoes. Yay me!) I'm still defining my personal style but I feel like I need to start expressing myself through what I wear vs always feeling like a fashion...victim. LoL. I really like a lot of the clothes I see when I'm out & abt but sometimes I do fear being criticized for what I wear due to the fact that I never wore what was "in" & therefore don't really know how to mix & match, what colors & prints do/don't go, etc. Anyway, great post cuz. I needed to get that out. Hehehe.
