Whoo!!! Can't nobody tell me that Unique Thrift Store Half-Priced Mondays don't be on! The jacket was about $4. The necklace was a gift, and had like the exact same color spectrum...I was proud...
Just some random pics of me on random days. I'm fond of the blue accents. The white/red patterned top is from Unique Thrift Store, $1.50!
My take on urban fashion. A relaxed outfit for a chill day, just running errands and such.
Yesterday's ensemble. Finals week. Gotta dress for success! Arika told me, "You are your portfolio!" She is absolutely right. If you want to be in the fashion industry, you gotta look the part. When you look good, you feel good, and that confidence illuminates from you! That's with anything. Let your work speak for who you are. You never know who you are going to meet or where an opportunity can lead you. Leave a lasting impression on all those that you come into contact with.
Turquoise/Multi dress - Akira, $10
Straw Fedora - NY & Co., $7.50
Floral Print Top - Wet Seal, $21
Easy going outfits that I put together for a day out with the girls. I'm very versatile in the looks I can create...something new everyday!!!
Three looks that I created by reworking a few key pieces. I created one daytime, office appropriate look, and two evening looks, one classic, one sassy. The key items used were the lace pencil skirt and the strapless, ruffled top. Accessories were essential in finishing the looks. And of course you know that I always have to have my splash of color! :-)

A day out on the town with my boyfriend...hints the 'Corey's Girl' shirt. :-)The plaid skirt is definitely the focal point of the outfit. Notice that the different patterns in the shirt and skirt work well together because they follow the same color story. The plaid pattern and femininity of the skirt reminded me of a schoolgirl, so I decided to build the outfit around that theme. A black vest, classic tights and flats were the finishing touch.
I think that this look is my fave. I always wanted to wear leggings as pants...:-) It's my interpretation of menswear. The shirt has a picture of a vest imprinted on it, so I threw a blazer over it and added the bowtie necklace to seal the deal. I wore the white camisole underneath the tee to break up the black and bring out the white in the tee and blazer, and also to cover my backside! No leggings without long tops! I chose grey boots to break up the monotone colors as well.
I had so much fun in the Bahamas! It was sunny and scorching hot...these colors definitely describe my mood...
I'm contemplating a new haircut. I really like Keri Hilson's...what do you think?...
Might be the best deal yet!
After the Kullison 2 fashion show...I had sooo much fun that night...Some of the other models and I were headed to the official afterparty that we couldn't get into because we were underage...figure that. Anywho, I personally think that my hair made the outfit. You know how you got your hair done once and it was your favorite, never to be recreated again??? This is one of those times.
Funny story behind this one...I was modeling in a fashion show for a t-shirt designer, didn't have any jeans, and the only jeans I could find were my friend's that were two sizes too big! So, I had to tweak the look a little bit...rolled up the pants and looped my necklace through as a chain, slapped on my pearls (my signature), and this cool headband that resembles a top hat and...KABLAM! Accessories really make the difference for this look. I had to walk this scene without makeup, but hey, it was all in the name of improvisation...
Because I like bright colors and funky patterns, my secret to getting dressed is to always have a coordinating feature for each element of my outfit. Without coordinating components, it's would be very easy for my outfits to look chaotic because there is too many focal points. In Look #1 (above), I emphasized the metallic silver element in my shoes, jeans, and top. I also added silver jewelry for accents. Because my outfit was fairly monochromatic, I added the yellow jacket to give it flavor. My jeans were the dominant focal point of my outfit and everything else worked around them.
