Nicki Minaj Kmart collection
A few weeks ago, I Instagrammed the photo above of Nicki Minaj's Kmart collection. Needless to say, the response wasn't too favorable. While some loved the dress, others couldn't get behind the other looks. Well, yesterday I had an opportunity to preview the majority of the line, which hits stores later this month, and I'm so glad I did.
First things first, this Nicki Minaj for Kmart collection is definitely geared toward the singer's Barbz and reflects her personal style of fitted, in-your-face prints and hues. But the preview gave me a broader picture of the line. And surprisingly, quite a few of the garments are wearable for women of all styles.

looking fly on a dime style

Sweatshirts are all the rage. Last year I showed you how I wore my favorite vintage Mickey Mouse shirt and now, we're seeing more and more of the casual tops everywhere. They're no longer just the sweaty shirt you wore to workout or on a lazy afternoon. Now, the sweatshirt has been remixed in a fun, flirty and even chic way.
Rocking a sweatshirt is as easy as 1, 2, 3 and the look I styled below can work from the office to happy hour.

how to wear accessories, how to wear florals

I have a confession: I love cheap jewelry. Well, I don't specifically seek out cheap-y pieces, but when I stumble upon a hole in the wall store or random shop in SoHo, I love walking away with a ton of accessories for next to nothing. And more importantly, I love finding ways to incorporate them in my wardrobe in a fun way. Whether it's a funky hat or bold necklace, accessories can transform any and every look.
A few weeks ago I found a cute floral romper from the Salvation Army. I went there on Wednesday when most items are half off. Though this piece wasn't half off, at $6, I still felt it was necessary in my closet. Florals can come off a bit juvenile and even matronly {you don't want to look like your grandma's couch!}, but when paired with the right accessories, they're grown up and chic.
