BACK 2 ART SKOOL





















Let me show you how to go back 2 basics, the right way!
Are you trying to look good for school or a day out with out looking like you tried too hard? Here's a tip - you can always spice up the most simple outfit with a little texture! Start with a basic top that you can add things like jackets, cardis, hats, or bottoms to that have a interesting texture.  I always like to start with an American Apparel piece on top because they have the best basics in all kinds of colors and shapes. I then go for some unusual but casual denim and shoes to keep it practical but chic. If you are looking for some good denim check out  GJG Denim. They have a variety of cool styles like the ripped bf jeans I'm wearing in this post. They're super stretchy and comfortable and fit me like a glove. Another way to amp up a basic fit is with a pop of color. You could get this with a contrasting pair of colorful shoes or by color-blocking with a backpack and glasses like I did. Using multiple elements of a different color for your outfit is a sure way to make it look interesting!

#STYLEDBYVELVETCLOOUDS Jabari Jacobs x Alex Undone

     I'm very excited to announce a new feature on my blog, #styledbyvelvetcloouds! I've decided to  finally start seriously building my styling portfolio and I want to share it with you. I've gotten a small assisting job off of using my blog photos since I style myself for all my posts but, I want to show my skills dressing other girls. I even styled a guy for a shoot recently which was an interesting learning experience. I have some aesthetically pleasing images coming your way, so don't sleep zZ! I hope you all enjoy my journey!

ON THAT NOTE -
