Snatched waist...Denim and Prints!

Happy Saturday Peeps!!!
Hope you all have an awesome, fashion filled weekend and I'm sending positive vibes your way! 😘

As you know, I absolutely LOVE funky prints...and denim! Vintage clothing is my thing and I absolutely LOVE to make it a part of my every day style. Your whole outfit does not have to come from 1982..a piece or 2 is fine! Just mix it in! I honestly put this outfit together by chance....this vintage stone washed denim flare skirt that I have had for MONTHS, ok?? I had no idea what I wanted to put with it! I just knew I had to have it when I saw it...yea, one of those buys. I do that A LOT, which is why I will probably need a shopping intervention one day, lol.
I told ya'll why I love flare and A-line skirts, right?? In case you missed it, refer back to this (<-- tap here)blog entry. But flare and A-line skirts are like my fashion bff...bodycon skirts and dresses are like my arch enemy and will NOT let me be great! Gee wiz😒
Any time I wear a these type of skirts I always get, "Are you losing weight?" or "Girl, you're slimming down!" or something of that nature....Nope! Still yummy with a tummy! I just know how to camouflage it!
Yasssss🙌🙌🙌
Notice in the pics, how my waist is  semi "snatched"? That's that skirt!
I added a super cute, super funky obi sash belt, created just for me by my mom! Isn't it cayuteeee!?
She has been trying to make me one for years. I love it. I'm sure it's because of the print. Well it's actually a few different African Ankara prints on this belt. After posting it, the response has been great and they will be available online SOON! You guys will be the first to know! 🎉
My cute little off the shoulder crop came from ASOS(it's no longer available, sorry!). It was like $6 on clearance! Yes for the sale! They ALWAYS have good items for super cheap. Check them out at www.asos.com
The necklace I got from Eloquii a few months ago. It's no longer available.
The shoes I picked up at a local Ross store. I know, I know...you hate Ross! Baby, ya'll sleeping on Ross! Find a store in a nice area of town or even the outskirts of your city/town. In Houston, I like the locations in the Heights(there are 2) as well as on Bissonet and Weslayn. Also, the one in Katy i10/Fry Rd exit. I'm sure there are more good locations that aren't always junky with some ladies bad kids running around.
Ross has some good name brand shoes, man! Give it a try!
Let me know how it goes ok?
Tag me on social media and let me know what you buy, ok?

I Love Denim!

It is said that your child hood is the foundation for the rest of your life. Man! Let me tell you! The smallest things that I do as well as what I think or say, can be associated with my child hood! Even what I choose to wear! As a Psych minor, I am really just starting to believe that. I guess the older I get, they more I actually pay attention to things.
For example, when I was younger...my mom dressed me in some type of denim 75% of the time! I mean denim, tops, blouses, skirts, jeans, backpacks anything she could find denim...I had it. I can look back on my old school pics and I believe in every one, I had on some form of denim....LOL. Not to mention, I always had some style of denim jacket in my closet. That is still till this day! Needless to say, I got my love for denim honestly!
Over the years, people have always complimented me on how I put things with certain denim out fits and/or the cute denim pieces that I find. I thought I would share some fun denim finds and outfits that will be great for the Spring/Summer season(s).
These outfits are easy to recreate, as well as  mix and match with items that you already have in your closet!
Happy Styling!

This super cute and trendy
denim jumpsuit is available at Melodrama Boutique .
It's light, breathable fabric and very comfortable!
 I like to pair denim with loud/bold colors and prints so I
added some accessories from Crysy Couture
 and a funky heel from
 

This denim shirt dress from Melodrama Boutique is fun! Its different,
it's trendy and most importantly COMFY! You can dress this up or
down! I played it safe and paired it with some
African inspired, Ankara accessories from Crysy Couture.
This dress doesn't need much to make a statement.
 Of course I had to do mix in a little vintage!
These hi-waist jeans from Crysy Couture are darling!
Such a cute fit!
The striped crop top from Forever 21 gives this outfit a cute
"nautical" look, right?
And that multi colored braided belt gives it just the pop of
color it needs!
Baby, these original vintage Sasson hi-waist shorts
and printed pussy bow blouse from Crysy Couture
 give me LIFE! I love how these 
hi waist shorts make her look taller!
