MY STYLE FIX: FRINGE ANKLE BOOTIES

It's my assertion that the true beauty of Autumn lies not in the picturesque foliage, but in the reappearance of boots of any kind.   

As the temperatures start to plummet these flat ankle boots have become my go to choice to ward off the effects of the cool weather in style.

MY STYLE FIX: FLORAL SKATER SKIRT

Flared out into an A-line silhouette, the skater skirt is the answer to the prayers of those of us with a little thunder in the thighs.   

 This classic staple is flattering thanks to a full skirt that acts as a shroud of darkness concealing the horror that lies beneath.

MY STYLE FIX: HIGH-WAIST CUTOFFS

High-waist shorts are a must as they accentuate your narrow waistline and conceal that wretched muffin top, which in my case may actually be the entire muffin.

What's more, high-waist shorts create a long and lean frame albeit an illusion, but I'll take any help I can get, since the whole notion of healthy eating escapes me, and diet is a four letter word. 

Until I can get it together and give up carbs, booze, and everything that's so good but so bad for your midsection, I'll opt for the stylish alternative to liposuction, as exercise is an eight letter word.

MY STYLE FIX: LITTLE FLORAL DRESS

Staying as cool as possible during the summer months, along with gorging myself on all things barbecue is my goal for the summer.   

Wearing loose-fitting clothing like this drop-waist dress, easily satisfies the former all while leaving space for the obvious food baby that all the BBQ will spawn.

 Unless you have a sexually deviant desire to suffocate and overheat your lady parts, easy breezy is definitely the key when it comes to summer style.

I for one harbor no such fantasies beyond the privacy of my boudoir notwithstanding, and I dress accordingly to avoid sweating profusely.

MY STYLE FIX: SUMMERTIME JUMPSUIT

I love jumpsuits, getting naked every time I use public restrooms, all while having to use matrixs like tactics to prevent my outfit from touching the floor as I handle my business, notwithstanding. 

 I love how comfortable jumpsuits are, sort of reminiscent of a toddler's onesie, but more fashionable, unless you're partial to fleece material then the former wins hands down. 

Jumpsuits just like this one from Urban Outfitters are perfect if you're on the go, but be prepared to bare all when you have to go.

MY STYLE FIX: DENIM CUTOFF SHORTS

 Gone are the days when denim cutoffs were associated with the uniform of streetwalkers, as this item has long since taken its rightful place in the closet of every goody two-shoes and sinner alike.     

Certainly, there are those who often make this norm regrettable by constantly exposing their baby makers to old ladies and babies. 

However, when worn tastefully, this must have Closet staple can cover your assets and preserve the innocence of the youngest among us.

MY STYLE FIX: RACHEL ROY FEED TOTE

If you follow me on Instagram @ClosetFix and via my Facebook Page you're already aware that I had the pleasure of meeting talented designer +Rachel Roy at the launch of her FEED India tote bag in NYC.

Generally I don't need much convincing or arm twisting to shop. I usually take to it as if I'm getting paid to spend money frivolously, or so I've been told, and if we're really being honest, it's closer to being lectured and admonished once the credit card bill arrives.  

Most of the time the scolding is warranted, considering based on the stockpile of goods that I've acquired, and to this day have yet to wear, I certainly don't need anything else. 

However, that type of reasoning when it comes to shopping is a stretch for me, as my thought processes are far from rational once I set foot into a mall. So, I figure since I'm going to spend money any way, I might as well put my resources behind a worthy cause. 

Every purchase of Rachel Roy's FEED India bag, provides 100 school meals to children in India. I mean, I'm not going to lie, the bag is pretty cute, so I would've bought it anyway. However, the fact that I'm helping others while I flex my purchasing power is the icing on the cake. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day<3

MY STYLE FIX: SPRING TRENCH COAT

If you follow me on Instagram @ClosetFix or on Facebook you already know that the most amazing thing happened to me, acquiring my milk jugs in Middle School notwithstanding.

I was featured in print in my first American Fashion and Beauty magazine, +InStyle Magazine. 

This resulted in several jumps for joy and random hugs to strangers in the grocery store where I first saw my own image on the pages of a publication that I adore.

As a Personal Style Fashion Blogger I couldn't have been more humbled and proud as not in a million years would I ever believe that my dream would come to fruition.

Have a great weekend! Thanks for dropping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: NYFW BOYFRIEND JEANS

I don't know if you've heard, but a blizzard slammed into the east coast and damn near put the kibosh on New York Fashion Week (NYFW)and anyone who dared to venture into the elements unprepared.

Not one to let some raging lunatic literally rain, or more approximately snow on my parade, so against better judgement I decided to wear my stiletto heeled bootie in spite of the obvious threat to my neck should it make contact with the ice covered pavement.  

After all, on this particular day, I conceded my skirt to Mother Nature on account of the biting temperatures. So, I wasn't about to let her take my spirit too, and shame me into flats or shoes with any type of grip.

I refused to sacrifice my style in order to play it safe and avert succumbing to the pull of gravity. However, I did have a plan, as if anything short of teleportation would've improved my situation, but it was a plan nonetheless, which judging from my intact tokus may have truly saved my arse.    

Check out the interview I did with +The Huffington Post below to find out the trick I used to stay upright on the ice during NYFW, and watch the Style and Beauty Editor Miss Julee's highlights from NYFW.

MY STYLE FIX: RUFFLE HEM MINI SKIRT

Dressing for New York Fashion Week (NYFW) where often times you're running straight from day to night events, isn't without its challenges, especially since we're smack dab in the throws of a deep freeze where Old Man Winter is no stranger to having his way with us.

 Clearly, under such circumstances, common sense would suggest that clothing and plenty of it is necessary to avert Old Man Winter's unwanted advances. But, the prospect of going to a party in God forbid a sweater or leggings, is enough for me to throw caution to the wind and leave my house looking like a hooker. 

So, just like Trixie on the tracks, sans pants or proper footwear I pounded the pavement and braved the cold as I headed to the first event to commence my NYFW, the Independent Fashion Blogger's Conference (IFBCON). 

It was a great time where I listened to awesome speakers, learned some things, caught up with old friends, made new ones, and rounded it all out with a few cocktails to warm up my undressed ass before I hit the mean streets and headed home. Enjoy your day. Have a great weekend!
