MY STYLE FIX: TUXEDO STRIPE DENIM

I'm aware that there are two times when white denim should not be worn for obvious reasons, when it's raining or when Aunt Flow is in town. 

Well, the latter isn't scheduled to visit for another few weeks, but it damn sure was raining when I decided to break the cardinal rule and wear white to what could've been to my own detriment.   

I can't say it was the smartest thing for me to do considering I was attending an event in New York City, and even under the most ideal of conditions that place is far from pristine let alone clean.

But even knowing the risk, I took a chance dodging puddle after puddle until I got to my destination unscathed and spared from the embarrassment of an unwanted Dalmatian transformation.

  Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: PEPLUM FLORAL SKIRT

Although New York Fashion Week was dedicated to Fall/Winter 2013 collections, I decided to dress like something that the Easter Bunny threw up, as I'm anxiously awaiting the return of warmer temps.

If you follow me on Instagram @ClosetFix or on Facebook, you already know that I recently purchased this skirt. But, instead of waiting for sunny skies and a seasonally appropriate day to don this little number, I, the genius that I am decided to take this baby for a spin in tundra like conditions.

Now granted, even though it was worn pre-blizzard on the first day of NYFW, I'm pretty sure as photographers snapped my picture for my Vogue Italia feature, they were either in awe of my audacity, stupidity, or huge cojones, because certainly only a big testicled fool would wear a floral print mini skirt in the dead of winter. 

Or, perhaps they simply wanted proof to take back to their colleagues regarding the mental patients on the loose at Lincoln Center. Either way, I'm really happy that they took notice, as I am beyond honored to be recognized by Vogue during one of Fashion's biggest weeks. 

Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by<3

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!

MY STYLE FIX: LEOPARD ANKLE BOOTS

A great sale will make you buy shit that you never had use for, don't need, and will only rock maybe once or twice, if at all. 

It's generally not until you get home when you realize that only an act of God will make you wear that purchase around the house let alone in public where people may actually see you, and are forced to conclude that you're a fucking moron based on the size of the moo moo or whatever get up you thought was a good idea at the time. 

Trust me, I've been there and the buyer's remorse is only intensified by the incredible amount of well deserved side eyes and blank stares I've gotten in said mistake. 

However, I recently came across an awesome deal on these Jessica Simpson ankle boots that I couldn't pass up, and I can attest to the fact that my love for them sustained even beyond the confines of the store where they were purchased. 

These bad boys have already gotten plenty of play, and for the time being will never see the back of my closet, the place where sad, lonely shoes go to die.

MY STYLE FIX: DENIM SHEARLING

 I can hardly believe that I was allowed into the same building let alone the same room as one of my style inspirations, June Ambrose. I mean, the insane amount of hours I've spent fixated on her work alone would at least denote a 500 feet restraining order and a taser just to be on the safe side.  

Thanks to Harlem Fashion Row who held an event featuring June Ambrose, I was able to breathe the same air as the style and fashion phenomenon all while hanging on to her ever word as if she was revealing the answers to the universe. 

While I still don't know where we come from, or why Michael Jackson only wore that one glove, I did find out that June Ambrose is amazing not only because of her tremendous eye for fashion, but her humility and grace is what truly makes her special in my eyes.  

There were no airs or pretentiousness as many in her position with all her accolades are prone to project to the chagrin of anybody unfortunate enough to be in their presence.

 Hell, even people with far less achievements walk around as if there's a very large stick wedged really far up their rectal cavity, which let's be honest would make even Mother Theresa, God rest her soul, a raging bitch, but I digress.   

Instead, June Ambrose couldn't have been nicer. She was so relatable and down to Earth even going far beyond what was expected of her to answer the questions of all her admires, as oppose to hightailing it off the stage the second her time was up. 

Such a great role model, as a lesser person would've thrown up the deuces and headed for the door. I'm so glad I was there to witness it, as I was inspired. 

Have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by<3

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.
