SOLANGE KNOWLES COMES THROUGH ON THE AFRO-CENTRIC BOHO FASHION. SHE’S THE ONLY STYLE INFLUENCER, THAT CAN PULL THIS OFF. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET’S DISCUSS WHAT SHE IS WEARING.
SOLANGE KNOWLES PAIRED A BLACK AND ORANGE AFRICAN PRINT BLOUSE, TUCKED INTO BLACK ORANGE AND WHITE AFRICAN PRINT PANTS. SHE PAIRED HER OUTFIT WITH BLACK POINTED TOE PUMPS. AN ORANGE AFRICAN BEADED BIB NECKLACE, ORANGE LIPSTICK, AND ORANGE NAILS. SHE ALSO PAIRED DAINTY SILVER AND ORANGE RINGS ON BOTH HANDS.
TARA 101: WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS OUTFIT, IS HOW SHE MIXED HER LOVE FOR AFRICAN FASHION IN WITH BOHO FASHION. AND HOW THE OUTFIT HAS A VERY SHARP, TALL SILHOUETTE IN THE WAY THAT SHE DECIDED TO TUCK HER BLOUSE IN WITH HER HIGH-WAISTED AFRICAN BOHO PRINT PANTS. I ALSO LOVE THAT SHE PAIRED BRIGHT-ORANGE BOLD LIPSTICK, AND NAILS, TO REALLY BRING THIS OUTFIT TO LIFE. AND ADD A NICE POP OF COLOR, TO BRING OUT THE ORANGE, IN HER OUTFIT. I DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS OUTFIT, TO ITS ENTIRETY, JUST NOT WITH AFRICAN PRINTS. MORE BOHO AND ASIAN PRINT. BUT STILL STYLING IT SIMILARLY TO THE WAY SOLANGE STYLED THE MIX OF BOLD PRINTS, THAT SHES KNOWN FOR. SO LETS GET TO IT!
I PAIRED ETSY IRIDESCENT CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH BARBIE FUCHSIA-PINK LIPSTICK, PAIRED WITH A CARLA MONTANARINI, PURPLE-LILAC BLAZER, THAT WILL BE WORN OPEN OVER A ETRO, WHITE PAISLEY BLOUSE. THAT WILL BE TUCKED INTO DOLCE AND GABBANA, WHITE-SILK, PURPLE ASIAN-INSPIRED FLORAL PRINT PANTS. I PAIRED THE OUTFIT WITH BRIGHT-PINK TIGHTS AND BARBIE- PINK PATENT PUMPS.
FOR THE REST OF THE ACCESSORIES, AND JEWELRY, I PAIRED A JW ANDERSON, PINK HANDBAG CLUTCH, WITH BARBIE-PINK NAILS. I PAIRED AN ETSY, IRIDESCENT AND GOLD RHINESTONE, CUFF BRACELET ON ONE HAND. AND I PAIRED AN ETSY, IRIDESCENT-JEWELED BRACELET, ON THE OTHER HAND.
TARA 101: COLORBLOCKING HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE “IT” FACTOR, WHEN IT COMES TO FASHION BECAUSE YOUR BRINGING COLORS TOGETHER TO APPEAL TO THE COMPLEXITY OF FASHION STYLING. ITS SUCH A BOLD FASHION STATEMENT THAT IS VERY INTIMIDATING IN THE WAYS IT CAN BE DESIGNED AND THE MANY WAYS YOU DRESS IT HAS TO REALLY EXPRESS DIVERSE INDIVIDUALITY AND STILL FEEL RELATABLE TO THE PERSON LOOKING AT IT. RELATABLE MEANING THE VIEWER HAS TO BE ABLE TO FIND AND SEE YOUR HARMONY THE STORY YOUR TELLING TO MAKE SENSE TO THEM JUST AS IT MAKES SENSE TO YOU. AND THAT CAN BE A DIFFICULT THING TO ACHIEVE WITH COLOR-BLOCKING. BUT DON’T WORRY THE WORST POSSIBLE THING YOU CAN DO WITH COLOR-BLOCKING IS OVER-THINKING IT. REMEMBER WHAT I SAID IN PREVIOUS POST FASHION IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. THERE IS NO FASHION WITHOUT FUN AND EXCITEMENT. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET’S GET EXCITED AS WE DISCUSS WHAT SOLANGE IS WEARING ON THE TOPIC.
SOLANGE PAIRED HER NATURAL WAVY HAIR, WITH A BLACK, RED, DARK BLUE, AND PASTEL-BLUE COLOR-BLOCK COAT WITH MATCHING RED, GREEN, AND BLUE, COLOR-BLOCK PATENT SANDAL HEELS. SHE ACCESSORIZED HER LOOK, WITH BLACK CLUTCH, WITH A BLUE LOGO, AND NATURAL LOOKING MAKEUP.
TARA 101: WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE COLOR-BLOCK COAT IS HOW WELL THE COLORS WERE DESIGNED TO FIND THERE WAY. THERE ROLES, WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR GAZING EYES, AND PERSPECTIVE, WHEN LOOKING AT THIS OUTFIT. I LIKE HOW EACH COLOR PLAYS A ROLE WITH CERTAIN PARTS OF THE JACKET. THE BLACK BEING THE SLEEVE ,THE RED BEING THE CUTOUT PART OF THE BREAST OF THE TRENCH COAT, THE DARK BLUE BEING THE MAIN BACKGROUND COLOR, TO ALL OF THE COLOR BLOCKED SEGMENTS. AND THE LIGHT BLUE SERVING AS THE RIGHT SLEEVE, AND THE LOWER BUTTONING PORTION OF THE COAT. I LOVE HOW SHE USED ONE OF THE COLORS FROM THE COAT TO PAIR HER COLOR-BLOCKING SHOES. THE PATENT RED, DRAWS YOUR ATTENTION AND SORT OF OPENS INSIGHT THAT SHE THREW IN MORE COLOR-BLOCKING SCHEMES, NOT PARTICULARLY FOUND IN THE COAT, SUCH AS THE BLUE AND GREEN, OF THE OVER-LAPPED PORTION UNDER THE PROMINENT RED. I LOVE THAT SHE OPTED FOR NEUTRAL NATURAL LOOKING MAKEUP, NO ACCESSORIES. BUT A BLACK CLUTCH WITH A BLUE LOGO, TO BRING OUT THE HUES OF BLUE, IN BOTH THE COAT, AND THE SHOES. I HOPE YOUR FOLLOWING ME ON THIS, I KNOW I’M TALKING ALOT. AND IT SOUNDS MORE OF A SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION LOL BUT THIS IS HOW I BREAKDOWN AN OUTFIT OR JUST FASHION IN GENERAL, THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING FASHIONISTAS. SO I DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS LOOK TO ITS ENTIRETY, ADDING MY OWN PERSONAL TOUCHES, TO THIS SOLANGE INSPIRED OUTFIT. SO HERE WE GO!
I PAIRED ETSY BLUE CHANDELIER TASSEL EARRINGS, WITH ROSE-RED LIPSTICK, PAIRED WITH A FENDI BLACK, DARK BROWN, LIGHT BROWN, AND BEIGE COLOR-[BLOCK LEATHER COAT, THAT WILL BE WORN CLOSED AS A DRESS. I PAIRED THE OUTFIT, WITH BLACK SHEER TIGHTS, AND CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN MULTI-COLORED PLATFORM ANKLE-STRAP SANDALS, AND A A GABRIELLA HEARST, COLOR-BLOCK FOLDED HANDLE BAG.
FOR THE REST OF THE ACCESSORIES, AND THE JEWELRY, I PAIRED ROSE-RED ACRYLIC NAILS,WITH ROYAL-BLUE AND GOLD GLITTER STRETCH BRACELET. THAT WILL BE PAIRED WITH AN ETSY, TEAL-BLUE STONE BEADED BRACELETS ON ONE HAND. ON THE OTHER HAND, I PAIRED ROYAL-BLUE MARBLE STONE BEAD BRACELETS.
TARA 101: I FIND THAT WHEN I WAS STYLING THIS OUTFIT I KEPT WANTING TO PAIR MULTI-COLORED PIECES LIKE THE SHOES, WITH THE COLOR-BLOCK PIECES SUCH AS THE COAT AND THE HANDBAG. I FEEL IF YOU WANT ANOTHER OPTION TO PAIR WITH A COLOR-BLOCK PIECE CHOOSE COLORS FROM THE MULTI-COLOR SHOE OR ACCESSORY AND PLAY AROUND WITH IT. IT TRULY DOES GO HAND AND HAND. AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT I LEARNED STYLING THIS OUTFIT. THOUGHTS FASHIONISTAS? TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK?ILL SEE YOU ON THE NEXT POST!
THIS ANOTHER FAVORITE OUTFIT OF MINE OF SOLANGE KNOWLES. IT TRULY EMBODIES THE ESSENCE OF TRENDY AND STYLISH FASHION. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LETS DISCUSS WHAT SHE IS WEARING. I AM EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE.
SOLANGE PAIRED A PINK JACQUARD BOW TOP, THAT SHE PAIRED WITH BLUE JACQUARD PRINT PANTS, AND GOLD STRAPPY SANDALS. FOR HER ACCESSORIES AND JEWELRY, SHE PAIRED HER NATURAL HAIR WITH NATURAL LOOKING MAKEUP, THAT MAKES HER HAVE A GLOW AS WELL AS BEYONCE. SHE PAIRED, A CHUNKY GOLD BEAD STONE BRACELET ON ONE HAND, AND A CHEETAH PRINT HANDBAG.
TARA 101: WHAT I LOVE MOST ABOUT THIS LOOK, IS THE FABRIC OF THE STRUCTURED BOW JACQUARD TOP, HOW BRIGHT IT IS, AND HOW IT PAIRS PERFECTLY, WITH HER BLUE AND GOLD, PRINT JACQUARD PANTS. I LOVE THAT SHE OPTED, FOR A VERY SIMPLE DAINTY, BUT BOLD SHOE TO BRING ALL OF THESE COLORS TOGETHER, WITH HER GOLD STRAPPY SANDAL HEELS. HER CHOICE IN HER CHEETAH PRINT BAG, SHOWS JUST HOW UNPREDICTABLE AND SPUNKY FASHION CAN BE. IN FACT ITS A PERFECT COMPONENT, IN FINISHING OFF HER OUTFIT. HER PLAY ON PRINTS AND FABRIC IS WHAT STEALS THE SHOW TRULY. SO I DECIDED TO RECREATE THE ENTIRETY, OF THIS OUTFIT, WHILE ADDING MY OWN PERSONAL TOUCHES.
I PAIRED ETSY YELLOW CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH BARBIE-PINK LIPSTICK, THAT I PAIRED WITH ETRO WHITE JACQUARD BUTTON-DOWN TOP, PAIRED UNDERNEATH A LIU JO, EMERALD GREEN BOW STRUCTURED JACQUARD TOP.

I PAIRED AN ETSY, VINTAGE YELLOW FLOWER CUFF BRACELET ON ONE HAND, ALONG WITH A YELLOW VINTAGE BROOCH CLASP BRACELET. ON THE OTHER HAND I PAIRED A YELLOW-AMBER, MARBLE-STONE STRETCH BRACELET.
I LOVE THIS LOOK SOLANGE KNOWLES IS WEARING. ITS DIFFERENT, ITS BOLD, ITS EDGY, ITS RISKY. BUT SHE REMINDS YOU, THAT SOMETIMES FASHION IS WORTH TAKING RISKS AND COMING OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET’S GET INTO THE DETAILS, OF THIS OUTFIT. I’M VERY EXCITED, ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ONE.
SOLANGE PAIRED HER NATURAL HAIR, WITH A PINK MULTI-COLOR SILK BLAZER, THAT SHE PAIRED OVER A BLACK TANK. THAT IS TUCKED INTO BLACK SHORTS. SHE PAIRED HER OUTFIT WITH GREEN PRINT, CLEAR STRAPPED SANDALS AND A PINK OVER-SIZED CLUTCH. FOR HER ACCESSORIES AND JEWELRY, SHE PAIRED PINK SHIMMERY LIPSTICK, AND GOLD BUTTERFLY EARRINGS.
TARA 101: WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THIS OUTFIT, IS DESPITE THE BUSINESS FROM THE MULTI-COLORED MULTI-PRINT BLAZER. SHE WAS STILL ABLE TO FIND HER BALANCE, BY PICKING ONE OF THE COLOR COMPONENTS, IN HER BLAZER, AND STYLING AROUND THE BLAZER, WITH THIS COLOR BEING PINK. I LOVE THAT SHE REALLY PULLS FROM THE PINK, WITH THIS LOOK. ITS VERY ELEGANT, VERY SPUNKY, AND VERY CLASSY. WHICH IS WHY I DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS LOOK, TO ITS ENTIRETY. WHILE ADDING MY OWN PERSONAL TOUCHES. SO LETS GET TO IT! I’M VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS ONE.
I PAIRED ETSY BLACK CRYSTAL CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH BARBIE HOT-PINK LIPSTICK, PAIRED WITH A MOSCHINO MULTI-COLOR AND MULTI-PRINT BLAZER. THAT I PAIRED OPEN OVER A ETRO, MULTI-COLOR CROPPED BRA TOP. THAT I PAIRED WITH VALENTINO, LEOPARD PRINT SKIRT, PINK TIGHTS, AND BLACK MULTI-COLOR PRINT PUMPS.
FOR THE REST OF THE ACCESSORIES, AND JEWELRY, I PAIRED A COPERNI, BLACK PATENT LEATHER HANDBAG, WITH BARBIE HOT-PINK NAILS, AND AN ETSY, VINTAGE BLACK AND SILVER CRYSTAL CUFF BRACELET.
TARA 101: I DEFINITELY WAS INSPIRED BY SOLANGE, TO TAKE RISKS WITH ALL OF THE PRINTS, AND COLORS. AND I’M NOT ASHAMED OF IT. THIS IS PROBABLY, ONE OF MY FAVORITE, RECREATED LOOKS I’VE DONE OF SOLANGE’S. SIMPLY BECAUSE I DID NOT OVERTHINK AND WAS CARE-FREE WITH THE STYLING OF THIS OUTFIT. AND I REMINDED MYSELF THAT FASHION IS ABOUT HAVING FUN. THERE IS NO FASHION IF THERE IS NO FUN, OR EXCITEMENT, WHILE YOUR INDULGING IN IT. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT FASHIONISTAS. ANY WHO, UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN ON THE NEXT POST.
I FEEL LIKE THIS OUTFIT PERFECTLY SUMS UP THE TYPE OF FASHION SOLANGE PORTRAYS. SHE HAS SUCH AN AFROCENTRIC BOHO FASHIONABLE PERSPECTIVE. AND NOONE CAN NAIL THESE LOOKS LIKE SHE DOES. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LETS DISCUSS THE DETAILS, OF WHAT SHE IS WEARING.
SOLANGE PAIRED A BLACK AND WHITE AFRICAN PRINT HEAD WRAP, WITH A BROWN PRINTED CARDIGAN THAT SHE PAIRED OVER A WHITE TANK TUCKED INTO DENIM DISTRESSED HIGH-WAISTED SHORTS. SHE PAIRED HER OUTFIT WITH BLACK LEATHER WOODEN PLATFORM CLOGS. FOR HER ACCESSORIES AND JEWELRY, SHE PAIRED HER OUTFIT WITH AFRICAN OVER-SIZED COILED NECKLACES AND A BURGUNDY RED LIPSTICK, FOR A POP OF COLOR.
TARA 101: MY FAVORITE ASPECT OF THIS OUTFIT, WOULD HAVE TO THE MIXING OF AFRICAN PRINTS FROM THE HEAD WRAP AND THE CARDIGAN. I LOVE HOW SHE MELLOWS OUT THE BOLDNESS OF THESE PRINTS WITH THE HIGH-WAISTED DENIM DISTRESSED SHORTS. IT MAKES IT VERY VINTAGE AFROCENTRIC AND BOHO AS WELL. I ALSO LIKE THAT THE BOLDNESS OF THE BLACK LEATHER WOODEN CLOGS. IT TIES THE COLORS ALL TOGETHER AND BRINGS THE PRINTS TOGETHER AS ONE. THE BLACK COMPLIMENTS ALL OF THE BLACK BEING A COMPONENT IN BOTH THE HEAD WRAP AND THE CARDIGAN. SHE DEFINITELY NAILED THIS LOOK. I DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS OUTFIT TO ITS ENTIRETY. AN INSPIRED LOOK WITH PLENTY OF PRINTS, AND BOLD COLORS. SO LETS GET TO IT SHALL WE?
I PAIRED A BEIGE AFRICAN HEAD WRAP, WITH IVORY OPAL CHANDELIER EARRINGS, PAIRED WITH BRIGHT RED LIPSTICK. I PAIRED A LANEUS, PINK AND BLACK BOHO PRINT CARDIGAN, PAIRED OPEN OVER A AGOLDE, WHITE TANK TOP. THAT WILL BE TUCKED INTO AGOLDE, BLUE DISTRESSED LIGHT DENIM JEANS.

TARA 101: MY FAVORITE ASPECT OF THIS OUTFIT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE WAY THESE COLORS THAT SHE PAIRED JUST WORK. I LOVE THAT SHE PAIRED THE TWO DIFFERENT ORANGES FROM THE TOP AND THE PANTS WITH A BRIGHT BLUE COAT AND CLUTCH. I LOVE HOW SHE BRIDGES THE COLOR-BLOCKING TOGETHER WITH A BRIGHT PINK LIPSTICK, AND BRIGHT PINK PUMPS. ITS A BEAUTIFUL LOOK WELL DONE, WITH LOTS OF VIBRANT BRIGHT COLORS, THAT REALLY ELEVATE THE SKILL OF WHAT IT MEANS TO COLOR-BLOCK. SO I DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS LOOK, OF A COAT PAIRED WITH A TURTLE NECK SWEATER, AND PANTS. ALL IN ALL, SHOWING MY SKILL OF COLOR-BLOCK COLOR-PAIRING I SHOULD SAY. ALRIGHT SO HERE WE GO!
I PAIRED ETSY ROSE RED VINTAGE CHUNKY CLUSTER EARRINGS, WITH BRIGHT BARBIE-PINK LIPSTICK.

FOR HER ACCESSORIES, AND HER JEWELRY, SHE PAIRED SILVER BOHO, DAINTY RINGS, AND SILVER CRYSTAL RETRO RINGS, ON BOTH HANDS.
TARA 101: THE MERE FACT THAT THIS OUTFIT, HAS THE BARE MINIMUM AND YOU STILL CAN’T CATEGORIZE IT AS SIMPLE, BECAUSE ITS FAR FROM THAT. ITS CHIC, ITS EDGY, ITS CLEVER. I LOVE HOW SOLANGE DIDN’T GO WITH THE OBVIOUS WHEN PAIRING THE COLOR OF HER SHOES, WITH HER OUTFIT. ITS DIFFERENT, ITS UNIQUE, AND ITS SPUNKY. I ALSO LOVE HOW THE WHITE BIKER JACKET, REALLY MATCHES THE LENGTH OF THE DRESS AS ONE. IT KIND OF SERVES AS AN IMPORTANT PIECE. ALMOST LIKE AN OVERLAY OVER THE DRESS. AND I LOVE IT. SOLANGE OPTED FOR NEUTRAL MAKEUP, THAT MAKES HER GLOW. AND HER NATURAL HAIR, TO REALLY PULL OFF THIS EDGY LOOK. JUST GENIUS! I DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS OUTFIT TO ITS ENTIRETY, ADDING MY OWN PERSONAL TOUCHES, HERE AND THERE. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LETS GET TO IT!

SOLANGE KNOWLES PAIRED A BLACK FLOPPY STRAW HAT, WITH A BEIGE LONG SLEEVE CARDIGAN, THAT SHE PAIRED OVER A BLACK BRA TOP, AND BURGUNDY ORANGE WIDE-LEG PALAZZO PANTS, THAT SHE PAIRED WITH UNSPECIFIED SHOES. FOR HER ACCESSORIES AND HER JEWELRY SHE PAIRED GOLD CHANDELIER EARRINGS, HER NATURAL HAIR, AND A DARK BURGUNDY-ORANGE LIPSTICK, FOR A POP OF COLOR.
TARA 101: MY FAVORITE ASPECT OF THIS OUTFIT, WOULD HAVE TO BE THE LONGSLEEVE GRAY CARDIGAN. I LIKE THAT SHE PAIRED IT WITH A CROPPED TOP, BECAUSE IT REALLY ACCENTUATES, THE DRAMATIC LENGTH OF THE CARDIGAN. I ALSO LIKE THAT SHE PAIRED HIGH-WAISTED PALAZZO PANTS. SHE WENT FOR A VERY BOLD, UNIQUE, PROMINENT COLOR TO COMPLIMENT THE CARDIGAN AND SET THE BRA OFF LIKE A PICTURE FRAME. I ALSO LIKE THAT SHE PAIRED A STRAW HAT WITH HER NATURAL CURLY HAIR ITS GIVING MID SUMMER FALL VIBES. WHICH IS WHY I DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS LOOK TO ITS ENTIRETY, WITH A LITTLE BIT OF MY OWN PERSONAL TOUCHES. ALRIGHT LETS GET TO IT!
I PAIRED A BLACK BRIMMED HAT, ETSY GOLD CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH BRIGHT RED-ORANGE LIPSTICK, THAT I PAIRED WITH A PERALUNA, LONG BROWN CARDIGAN OVER A ELISABETTA FRANCHI BLACK EMBELLISHED FLORAL BRA TOP. I PAIRED NORMA KAMALI, BLACK WIDE LEG TROUSERS, BLACK TIGHTS, AND BROWN LEATHER PUMPS.

AND IMPLEMENTING SUMMER OR FALL COLORS TOGETHER LIKE SOLANGE DID WITH THE COLOR OF HER CARDIGAN PAIRED WITH HER PANTS. SIMPLE. SIMPLE. SIMPLE. YOU GOT THIS! GIVE IT A TRY!
THERE SOMETHING SO ELEGANT, ABOUT PASTEL COLORS, ITS LIKE A CALM AMBIANCE OF MELLOWNESS YOU GET, LIKE SITTING ON THE SAND, ON A BEACH SORT OF FEELING. ANYWAYS ENOUGH OF MY IMAGINATION, LET’S DISCUSS WHAT SOLANGE KNOWLES IS WEARING. SHALL WE?
SOLANGE PAIRED HER NATURAL HAIR, WITH A YELLOW CHIFFON BLAZER, OVER A WHITE COLLARED SHIRT, THAT SHE HAS TUCKED INTO MATCHING YELLOW CHIFFON PANTS, WITH A BROWN BELT. I’M NOT SURE, WHAT SHOES, SHE PAIRED WITH THIS OUTFIT. BUT WELL JUST MOVE RIGHT ALONG WITH HER ACCESSORIES. SHE PAIRED BRIGHT ORANGE NAIL POLISH WITH A DAINTY GOLD NECKLACE AND DAINTY GOLD RINGS.
TARA 101: WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS LOOK, IS THE WARMTH, AND THE SOFTNESS, I’M GETTING FROM THE PASTEL YELLOW PANTS SUIT. I LOVE THAT SHE OPTED FOR WHITE AND A SOFT BROWN BELT. IT REALLY GIVES THE OUTFIT A WARM SORT OF FEELING FROM ALL THE MELLOW COLORS SHE PLAYING WITH HERE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME HER BRIGHT ORANGE NAIL POLISH AND GOLD JEWELRY, IN CONTRAST TO THE WARM COLOR PALETTE, MAKES IT SEEM SOFT, YES… BUT ALSO VERY BRIGHT IN COMPARISON. I DECIDED TO RECREATE THE YELLOW PANTS SUIT, AND GIVE MYSELF A CHALLENGE, WITH INCORPORATING ORANGE WITH IT. WHILE ESTABLISHING A SORT OF WARM SORT, OF COOL TONE OF CHANGE TO THE OUTFIT. SO HERE WE GO! WISH ME LUCK FOR YOUR BETTER JUDGEMENT LOL.
I PAIRED SILVER CRYSTAL CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH A SANDRO, MARIGOLD PASTEL YELLOW BLAZER. THAT I PAIRED OVER A MARELLA, BURNT-ORANGE, BUTTON-DOWN SHIRT, THAT WILL BE WORN TUCKED INTO MATCHING JUCCA, YELLOW PANTS, WITH A METALLIC SILVER BELT, AND METALLIC ORANGE PUMPS.
FOR THE REST OF THE ACCESSORIES, AND JEWELRY, I PAIRED BRIGHT-ORANGE ACRYLIC NAILS, WITH A CULT GAIA, METALLIC-SILVER WICKER HANDLE CLUTCH, AND ETSY GOLD CHUNKY BANGLES.
TARA 101: I RECREATED THE WARMTH OF SOLANGE’S OUTFIT. WHILE ALSO ADDING A SORT OF COLD ICY CONTRAST WITH THE SILVER JEWELRY AND ACCESSORIES. I COULD HAVE DONE BABY BLUE TO ACHIEVE THIS ALSO. BUT I CHOSE SILVER SO YEAH. I LIKE IT… I WOULD WEAR IT. AT FIRST GLANCE YOU COULD BE THINKING TARA WHAT THE HELL AM I LOOKING AT? BUT HEAR ME OUT AND GIVE THE OUTFIT A CHANCE SASSY FASHIONISTA. OH AND SEE YOU ON THE NEXT POST.
THIS RANKS NUMBER ONE ON MY LIST OF TOP TEN OUTFITS FROM SOLANGE KNOWLES. ITS AFROCENTRIC, ITS TRIBAL, ITS BOHO, ITS CLASS, AND ITS CONSERVATIVE. ITS VERY VINTAGE LIKE AND I LOVE IT. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET’S DISCUSS WHAT SHE IS WEARING SHALL WE.
SOLANGE PAIRED A RED MULTI-COLOR, GEOMETRIC-MULTI-PRINT PANTSUIT ,WITH BLACK AND WHITE PATENT LEATHER STRAPPY ANKLE STRAP SANDAL HEELS. SHE ACCESSORIZED HER LOOK WITH A MATCHING CLUTCH, THAT MATCHES HER OUTFIT, HER NATURAL HAIR, AND A BURGUNDY RED LIPSTICK FOR A POP OF COLOR.
TARA 101: SO THERE IS A WONDER WHY THIS IS MY FAVORITE OUTFIT FROM HER SIMPLY BECAUSE SHE PAIRED A BUSY PANTS SUIT WITH A MATCHING GEOMETRIC MULTI-PRINT CLUTCH. HER SHOES… HER SHOES… AND HER SHOES… BRING THIS OUTFIT TO LIFE. I LOVE THAT SHE ADDED A BURGUNDY RED LIP FOR A POP OF COLOR AND EDGINESS. SO I DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS LOOK OF THE PRINT PANTS SUIT WITH EYE CATCHING SHOES THAT BRING THE OUTFIT TOGETHER LIKE SOLANGE DID.
I PAIRED A WHITE BRIMMED HAT, WITH ETSY VINTAGE MOTHER OF PEARL CRYSTAL CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH PHILLIP PLEIN, GREEN HAWAII PRINT SUIT JACKET, OVER A BLUZAT, BLUE CHIFFON BOW BLOUSE, TUCKED INTO MATCHING PHILLIP PLEIN HAWAII PRINT PANTS. I PAIRED DARK-BLUE TIGHTS, AND BRIGHT-BLUE CRYSTAL EMBELLISHED PUMPS.
FOR THE REST OF THE ACCESSORIES, AND JEWELRY, I PAIRED A JW ANDERSON, WHITE-EMBELLISHED CRYSTAL FOLD-OVER CLUTCH BAG, THAT I PAIRED WITH BRIGHT MINT-GREEN NAILS, INSTEAD OF LIPSTICK, FOR A POP OF COLOR.
TARA 101: I PAIRED NO OTHER JEWELRY, BUT THE EARRINGS, WITH THIS OUTFIT, BECAUSE I WANTED THE SHOES, AND THE ACCESSORIES, TO BE THE STAR, OF THIS OUTFIT, RATHER THAN PAIRING MY USUAL ETSY, DESIGNER VINTAGE JEWELRY. AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. YOU CAN PRETTY MUCH GET A PRINTED PANTSUIT, AND PAIR WITH ANY COLOR SHOES, AND ACCESSORIES, YOU WANT BUT JUST MAKE SURE ITS VERY BRIGHT IN CONTRAST OF COMPARES ON TO YOUR PANTS SUIT, AND YOU’LL NAIL WHAT SOLANGE DID WITH THIS OUTFIT.
YESHUA AND TARA'S FASHION ADVICE 101
