The well-dressed gentleman you see in the photo is my good friend Kevin! We attended a fashion show that one of our other good friends participated in at my university. I love the way he combined the colors in this outfit.

Let Them Have Polish!

Sometimes I like to mix it up a little with my manicure (and pedicures)! To re-create this is very simple. First I placed a piece of tape sideways at the bottom of my nail. I painted one half of the nail with the first color, then removed the tape and painted with the other color. I went on to paint the rest of my nails with the main color.

BEAUTY NOTE: To strengthen your nails and prevent weakness from polishes, apply a top coat to bare nails before applying the color of your choice.

I had a banquet to attend for an organization that I am a member of at my university. I added the blazer to this dress because it is very form-fitting and would not have been appropriate without something over it for that particular event.

Also, I found this clutch for $17 at Payless Shoe Source last summer! I have been wearing it to different kinds of events and with various outfits. With a clutch like this you aren't limited to either day or nighttime, or seasons, because even though it is printed, it is not anything extravagant such as stones or silk material(which should be kept to nighttime events).

STYLE NOTE: If you go with a smoky eye, or a colored eyeshadow a rule to live by is to go with a nude lip. Or, if you wear a bright dramatic lip color, either go with nothing on the eyes, or a simple shadow to avoid looking as if you desire to audition for the circus(-:

These cheetah-print studs are cute, yet simple way to add some interest to an outfit.

STYLE NOTE: Sometimes you should allow your accessories do the talking for you with an outfit. For example, if you are wearing a statement necklace or large earrings, then DO NOT add a necklace...this can be OVERKILL if you do. Let one piece be the main focus to avoid your outfit being to "busy". These earrings hadenough detail, so I let them receive all of the attention(-:

A few things about this outfit, first I love, love, love the side fishtail braid! Also, don't sleep on the sandal-style birkenstocks. These sandals look best with skinny jeans, a loose-flowy top, and a large handbag for a relaxed look. BTW, I have had these shoes since I was 7 years old and I am now 20...talk about quality!

I had a bad hair day but I quickly came up with a solution...I used this gray fedora to disguise that and to serve as an accessory to the outfit! I have several hats in my closet that I use when my hair isn't cooperating, or just to add something extra to an outfit with a simple vibe.

This outfit was worn by my good friend Monica. How cute are these high-waisted pants and the tank top with a bow?! I also like the reptile-printed sandals against the green pants. This outfit is very classic with a twist.

This is THE BEST nail polish remover I have EVER used! It easily removes your polish without drying your nails. For someone who does a manicure once a week I need something that adds moisture to my nails, and it's also scented so your hands don't smell like a harsh chemical afterwards. I'm not sure if this is sold anywhere else because the only place I have been able to find this product is Walmart.

The first photo was taken by students in the NAACP organization at my University who were protesting Trayvon Martin's murder. We should all speak out against hatred towards ANYONE.

This post is not just to discuss my outfit, but one of my best friends Monica. I loved the outfit she wore that day because of the accessories she chose. Her necklace added a necessary pop of color to her neutrals and the hat gave the outfit an unexpected twist.

STYLE NOTE: Hats can be worn not just to conceal a bad hair day, but can also to be an amazing accessory to an outfit.

This color can be worn for any event... girls' night out, or a day at the office because it is very classy. It can also be worn during any season and still be appropriate because the color is very neutral and can be considered warm or cool.
