The Chameleon of the T-Shirt and Jean!

“Girl what you wearing tonight?” You have either asked or been asked that question. Trying to figure that out has gotten me so aggravated at times I have changed my mind about going out altogether! Trying to create a look as a woman can feel like such a daunting task. There are so many components that have to be figured out, the hair, Makeup, Accessories, shoes, Purse Its TOO MUCH!!!!! If ever you find yourself in this situation turn to “Good Ol’ Faithful” Tee Shirt and Jean!

  As simple as “T shirt and Jeans “sounds, you can do so much with those basic pieces. Many times when I decide to wear this fabulous duo it has been because I’ve had a fly blazer to pair with it, or Funky shoes that I don’t want to get ignored.

 They are 2 pieces that can play a supporting role to great accessories.

T- Shirt and Jeans area great blank canvas. Have you ever had a great Necklaces or a great cocktail ring that just screams to be seen but in the midst of the rest of the outfit being just as beautiful it’s neglected in getting its chances to really shine?

 The t-shirt and jean combo gives it that chance. So Next time you’re on your way out throw on those jeans with the perfect fit that t shirt that you look amazing in and play in your closet with pieces that can really bring this to a higher level of sophistication.

Rock it out Beauties!

Smooches

As I got dolled up for my date night, I went to apply the Red Lipstick I had in my makeup bag. Right before I could put it on my husband came in and said, “I know you’re not wearing that?”  I of course looked at him like he was crazy. “Nicole Black women shouldn’t wear red lipstick” I again looked at him like was crazy and applied it anyway. (And of course looked great) I thought about what he said the next day only to realize that there was a small amount of truth to what he was saying. Should black women wear Red lipstick? Of course, if it’s your thang you could wear blue lipstick if you want. It’s just that Red lipsticks depending on the color base shouldn’t be worn with every skin tone.

Women who have a Pale or Fair Skin tone should stick to A red Lip that is an orange or yellow base. Brown Skin or darker shades (Like Myself) should use a red lipstick is blue based.

A couple of other tips on the red lip are:

DEEP REDS-Deep reds make your lip look small so if your lips are already thin maybe go with a lighter shade

Concealer -So that lipstick isn’t running everywhere put some concealer around your mouth

EYESHADOW-Now some people say if you’re going to do a red lip because it’s so dramatic don’t play up your eyes. Other say a dramatic Smokey eye is a great match. I’ve seen both done right and think they look great so it’s really up to your own style and of course skill when it comes to eye shadow

Kiss- After you apply the lip kiss a tissue to get off any excess.

At the end of the day the worst thing that could happen is you wipe off start again. All you have to do is ask does it look good on me. Doesn’t matter if that shade looked good on your friend, sister moms, or a celeb, everything is not for everyone. Make sure it is a good fit for you and only you can be the judge of that.

Can't Keep a Secret

Hey Beauties,

 This is actually less of a "How to funk it up" and more of a “Is this trend funky?" So please leave comments opinions and all that....lol... I truly want to know what you think. Now my “Day Job" is at Victoria's Secret and a lot of the new products and marketing that we have, and are still getting,  have been of women in Tops or Dresses that show the bra or the corset. The clothes that we have, the tank tops and some of the t shirts, the pits of the arms are cut low enough so that you can see the bra  or even the entire side of the body.

 After I saw this at work I paid a little more attention to this trend  and realized its everywhere. A lot of pieces are cut like this. Now this isn't my style, but that doesn't make it wrong. I mean I would say it’s something for a younger generation but we see Jada Pinkett Smith in this and that sista got some years on me...lol .So my question is would you wear this? Is this the direction we are going in as women? I felt with clothes getting tighter bust lines getting lower hems getting higher there wasn't much left to show. But I guess the next step would be the only thing that we still have hidden, “Under Garments” Or is it not that serious?  Am I being a prude? Or is there truly something to leaving some stuff to the imagination?
