"Who's That?!" - Kimono & Heels




Going to a fancy affair, but don't have coins to buy the fancy outfit? Style your bodycon dress with a kimono and heels. No one would even notice that you are wearing a bodycon dress! The kimono gives it a sexy look and heels always add to the sexiness! I added a pearl choker and pocketbook to it, as well. Pearls always makes something look classy. Trust me, the room can't keep its eyes off of you! Everyone will want to know "Who's that?!"


Heels- Forever 21

"Rich B**** Energy" - Blazer & Booties


The blazer and bootie combo is perfect for wearing to work! Add a color blazer to set yourself a part from the rest of the office! I love gold accessories because it always makes me feel like I have value. This outfit will have you walking into your meetings feeling like a confident baddie. Before you even walk in that conference room, you already know you sealed the deal! Channel your "Rich B**** Energy" with this outfit.


Booties- Target

"Baby, You're the Winner!" - Bomber & Mules


The bomber jacket and mules is giving "Court Side Hottie".


Picture this: You're at a basketball game court side, eating nachos and sipping a coke. You don't usually drink coke but it seems to be fitting for the game. You get a whiff of a beef frankfurter which you are now craving although you gave up beef a few years back. You're checking your Instagram page constantly to see how many likes you have received from posting your cute outfit, only to look up and see your favorite player smiling at you. The ladies in the room are eyeing you because they can't keep their eyes off your canvas bag that pays homage to their favorite artists! You're there for a basketball game, but "Baby, You're the Winner"!

Whether you're going to the movies, dinner, or a place to grab drinks, listen to music, and just enjoy each others company in the atmosphere, this outfit will add the perfect touch to your night.
