The Art Of Layering

Mar 9, 08:36 PM

I’m doing a personal style project where I take one piece of clothing and reinvent it in ten different ways. This time around I’m taking this cream colored african print skirt and wearing it as an accessory to a plain dress. This is look #1 out of ten.

When it comes to updating our look we tend to look to shopping sprees as an answer to our problem. There’s a more efficient and budget friendly way to do it; it’s simply learning how to recreate the articles of clothing we already have.

Also check me out in the latest issue of Style Sample Magazine! They did a small feature on my style and the blog to which I’m eternally grateful for.

I give you some photo booth photos just to hold you up in my absence. I am alive!
Expect a lot of photos in a few days for a little personal style project I’m doing.

Again I want to apologize for the lack of updates. I’m going through some personal struggles and changes in life and I just haven’t been in the spirits for blogging much. I will try my hardest to not leave this blog completely forsaken though.

This coat I purchased last winter at an antique store while visiting a friend in Indiana. It’s made out of two different textured faux furs, one of which changes between green and black in different lighting. It isn’t horribly warm but oh so fashionable.

Brown Hat: Charlotte Russe ($10)
Black Booties: Savers ($7)

I received this sweater sometime ago from DKNY’s Fall 09 collection in the mail and I have yet to really show how I style and incorporate it into my wardrobe. I struggled with it for a while because pink is rarely something I wear yet I always enjoy a good challenge. This outfit kind of summed up my mood for the day; somewhat sporadic and slightly crazied.

I have to apologize for my lack of posts of late. I’m at a point in my life where I have a lot going through my head and there are some things I’m wrestling with in my personal life. I just haven’t been in the spirit or mood for taking photos and blogging of late and I’m not sure what to do about it exactly.

I will continue to blog on and off over the next couple of weeks but don’t expect it often. I have a few entries that have been sitting on the back burner and then after that….who knows? I just need some time to collect my thoughts and gather the pieces of me that have become spread out all over the place. I’m trying, yet I’m not there yet.

Thanks for your patience and for those who still read this despite my absence.

Btw. I had the honor of being interviewed over at The Fashion Press about my style and future goals. Thanks!
