MY STYLE FIX: FLORALS & STRIPES

After exercising the judgment of a gnat by wearing this skirt in a blizzard, I redeemed myself and wore it during appropriate weather. 
I must admit, the smiles of approval and looks of admiration was in stark contrast to the disapproving stares I received a few weeks ago. 
Suddenly with the arrival of Spring, I'm a pillar of the community, and not the prostitution whore the stares suggested just a season ago.
Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: TWEED WOOL COAT

New York Fashion Week is a day away and although I couldn't be more excited I'm dreading the wrath of Mother Nature who has an uncanny ability to show up at the most inopportune times, rearranging hair or major land masses at will.
Normally, I wouldn't really care since I'm so accustomed to her deviant, ratchet ways, which has left many a curls straight, and in my case a one way ticket to puffville. 
I'm used to Mother Nature's uninvited ass always crashing the party, but since I'll probably be wearing clothing far too inappropriate for the season let alone a major natural disaster, I can only imagine what will become of me should she pop in. 
Certainly I can and should bundle up for my own good, but when it comes to fashion I've never been accused of being practical and Fashion Week is no time to start exercising good judgement.
 So, I will proceed without caution and pray Mother Nature and her sidekick Old Man Winter will have mercy. Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by<3 *FYI Follow me on Instagram @ClosetFix for all the latest from New York Fashion Week

MY STYLE FIX: SNAKE PRINT SKINNIES

Sometimes putting on a pair of skin tight skinnies that grab my ass just so, have a way of making me feel like a sex pot akin to the broads in those nudie magazines or skin flicks, albeit an immensely watered down version completely incapable of eliciting a rise.
Nevertheless, nobody couldn't convince me that I wasn't emanating sexual prowess and was completely deserving of at least a pity arousal or a good old fashion atta girl.  
Truth of the matter is, I felt the way I can only imagine women the likes of Halle Berry with their perfect everything just strut around knowing. 
While I on the other hand have to squeeze myself into a pair of skinnies, and all the stars have to be aligned ever so perfectly before I can even pull off a caricature version of sexy without completely embarrassing myself or triggering the gag reflex of mankind. 
Trust me I've worn far less and exposed way more body parts at the expense of my dignity and non-existent self respect, and still failed to capture the essence of sexy let alone the attention of a man. 
Spending your time making sure that your girls don't make an impromptu public appearance can have that effect, and immediately detract from one's Bar Refaeli moment, especially when self confidence is replaced by nightmarish thoughts of humiliating overexposure.
I've learned those lessons the hard way with entire nights spent tugging at and strategically placing fabric over areola trying to achieve bombshell status. But, the irony is, it doesn't take that much. A bit of confidence and a good pair of skinnies will suffice. 
Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your day<3
