  looking fly on a dime vintage dressLast week was my Best Dressed Madame event that I hosted during Essence Music Festival and we had an amazing time. Along with my co-hosts Carmen from Lipstick Fashion Mascara and Tiffini of Atlanta Tastemaker Magazine, the night was full of drinks, light bites and fashionable fun. I'll have a full recap for you next week, but for now, let's just focus on what I wore.

Our event was held at May Baily's Place at the Dauphine Orleans Hotel. The bar used to be a brothel {cheeky!}, so our theme was all about dressing up in an over the top, sassy, fun way. I kept my look fairly subdued since I'd be hosting, but I didn't hold out on the glamour.

 looking fly on a dime tv segment

Last week I filmed a fashion segment for the Better Show and it was all about Fourth of July fashion. The segment aired on Tuesday and if you missed it, check out the link below.Though it focused on fashionable and chic styles for a 4th of July BBQ, the clothes are wearable for any summer occasion. From how to incorporate prints to how to make a neutral dress pop, I covered a few easy ways to upgrade any style.

how women can wear men's button downs

A few weeks ago I dipped in to Target for some ice cream and of course I had to check the clothes out. Nothing really caught my eye, but as I made my way to the frozen food aisle, I spotted a pair of camo shorts. But the shorts weren't in the women's department. They were in the little boy's section.
I grabbed the biggest size available and hit the fitting room.

how to thrift shop, thrift shopping tips

Name: Shelby Location: Michigan
When and why did you start thrift shopping? I have been into thrift shopping forever. Growing up it was a tradition to spend Saturdays shopping with my mother and grandmother. They would take me everywhere from malls, department stores, estate sales to thrift stores. Thrift shopping rubbed off on me naturally.
What three words would you use to describe your style? Vintage. Classy. Cute.How did you style your outfit {above}? I thrifted this Ralph Lauren shirt for $2.98. It is a young boy's shirt and the sleeves were way too short, but I knew I would wear it rolled up in a preppy style. The suspenders were thrifted for $1.98 from the men’s section and I purchased the skirt on sale at Target. The inspiration for this outfit came from seeing the suspenders, so I built upon them. Looking back I guess I was channeling Steve Urkel.
