MY STYLE FIX: THE MIDI SKIRT MOMENT

Mini and maxi skirts are known to be warm weather Closet staples. However, whether opting for a sleek or voluminous style, the midi skirt with its ladylike silhouette and mid-length hemline has quickly become a chic go to option that's worth giving a try this season.

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: GRAPHIC SWEATSHIRT

Leopard print is no longer designated for tacky, tasteless, individuals doing their best impersonation of our ladies of the night.  

It's no longer synonymous with nightlife. Now it's a part of our daily style taking its place in the light and out of the seedy shadows.

MY STYLE FIX: MINTY TULIP MINI SKIRT

The idea of adding volume to your frame is terrifying, and to many the mere act may seem symptomatic of a deeper underlying psychosis.

Yet, in some rare cases as seen in the tulip skirt phenomenon, defying all rhyme and reason, the extra draping can actually be flattering.

MY STYLE FIX: SUMMER ROCK & ROLL

Leather and denim are two of my favorite closet staples. When paired together they give off a rocker vibe sans the benefits of all the raunchy sex and mind numbing quaaludes.  

   Regrettably, depending on your predilection for frequent visits        to your gyno or rehab, those perks aren't included. Yet, that         omission doesn't make this pairing any less rock and roll, albeit     on the sober side.

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: SPRINGTIME LAYERS

Right now, layers aren't only essential for the obvious reason of hiding the results of my affection for cupcakes as seen on my hips, but they're also perfect for these cool spring days.  

These cool, sometimes bordering on cold spring days, definitely warrant a layer or two unless you have an affinity for headlights in the daytime.

I harbor no such desire, so to avert the spotlight, I pile on the layers and cover up accordingly.

REPEAT FIX: LEATHER MINI SKIRT

The leg baring mini skirt can do wonders for your wardrobe. Incorporating this shorter hemline into your Closet may be a bit intimidating. However, to offset or downplay the inherent sexiness of this Closet staple, opt for pairings that include more subdued pieces as seen here and here. Ranging in a wide array of textures, colors, and even lengths, the mini skirt which can be worn year round is a fun and flirty option that is sure to provide endless opportunities for a Repeat Fix. Below are two different ways I styled my mini skirt.

MY STYLE FIX: LEATHER MINI DRESS

Let me be the first to say that like Michelle Obama, Anna Wintour, and Kate Middleton, I too don't have any qualms about repeating an outfit as long it's cleaned accordingly, and bares no evidence of the drunken debauchery that went down.  

If it's good enough for those highfalutin broads with their disposable incomes and designers at their beck and call, it damn sure is good enough for my broke, struggling, barely making the rent, robbing Peter to pay Paul ass. 

Although I would love to be draped in a brand new couture gown and dripping in diamonds every time I left my house, that shit will never happen even if I took up residence on the local corner or purposely by accident leaked my own sex tape, as the girth of my backside certainly doesn't command millions.   

 

As such, by default, I'm left with making the best of what I got, which often means that things will be repeated, and worn within an inch of their lives in many cases, like this little number that made an appearance at many holiday parties and events last month. 

The point is there's no shame in my game as there's no sugar daddy in my life. Until then, I'll continue to focus on whether the outfit I'm wearing looks good on me as opposed to whether it's brand new.

MY STYLE FIX: LEATHER FRINGE SKIRT

Happy Thursday! I went to a shopping event a week ago held by Lucky Magazine and Clarks Shoes at Lord & Taylor. The timing couldn't have been any better since I'm currently in the market for new Fall shoes. 

I decided to wear a leather skirt and tee, paired with a denim jacket and pumps, which would've been perfect for shoe shopping, if it didn't involve bending over or God forbid lacing anything up. 

Had I been a more practical person, I would've worn skinnies or something a little further away from my lady parts, but I just got this skirt, and I really was looking for any excuse to wear it. 

Hell, I would've worn it to the grocery store, which would've certainly ruled out any items from the bottom shelf, as the moon would've made an indoor appearance. But, since the event was within a matter of days, there was no need to alarm innocent shoppers just out getting milk.

In all my wisdom, I figured I would save the flash for Lord & Taylor customers. I mean, if you're dropping a shit load of money on shoes, some moonshine should definitely be thrown in for good measure. Let's just call it customer appreciation.

Luckily for me, I managed to keep my backside under raps, and I was able to shop and meet other lovely Fashion Bloggers like Bonnie from Flashes of Style, and Jessie from Style and Pepper who were both hosting the event.
