Sunday Inspiration: Kim Kardashian

I saw these pictures and gagged. These are looks are all me! Down to the well manicured nails and Sunnies. Kim SLAYED these looks. Simple chic and clean! These pictures was taking over 4 years ago and everything she has on are still in style that means her stylist KILLLED THESE LOOKS! 

Accessories definitely change the look of an outfit. If you don't feel like doing a full face put on an amazing fedora and sunnies and you are good to go! 

FYI - you can find amazing fedoras at your local flea markets!!

Fabulous Repeats: Kim Kardashian

I am all for repeating looks. We all know we have worn a certain items repeatedly!! Whether it's because we love the fit of the jeans or a top goes with any everything. Quiet as kept that is why I love anything monotone (you can repeat and no one really cares)! 

Today as I was knocking off the snow from my UGG boots, sipping coffee and scrolling througIG (I know I know! I am a MULTITASKER) I came across the flyest picture of Kim and Kanye going through John F. Kennedy Airport in New York. 

 I thought to myself I have seen Kim in something similar. I did a little IG trolling and found out she wore the same fur and similar outfit in 2010. This proves my theory that some pieces are timeless and this fur is the very definition of what I mean. She wore it 5 years later and people were going crazy- me included. 

I have pieces that I have had for well over 6 years that I can throw on and still be questioned about where I got it. Timeless pieces do not necessarily have to be expensive, it all depends on how you take care of your purchases. I am sure Kim's fur has been in storage for years and has been tended to with the best care! 

Both of the outfits below are monotone. Only real difference between 2010 vs. 2015 is she is not carrying a bag, her hair is pulled back, a pair of sunglasses (I think these are Celine's), way less makeup, and she switched her knee high boots for some classy pumps. I praise her for having her feet out in this frigid New York weather we have had for the past week. 

Let me tell you something Kim has been KILLLLLLLIIIINNNNGGG ITTT for the past 9 days!! I mean SLAYNG!!!!! Her outfits simple, chic and clean! And she has been repeating certain items. I recently read somewhere that she and Kanye redid her closet and it looks like they have come up with some winning outfits! 

I will definitely be looking forward to what she has in store for 2015!

Utter and Total DOPENESS: Monotone Outfits

Definition of monotone: 

1. Of or having a single color.
   
   
   I have been gagging over every monotone outfit that has popped up on my timeline in recent months. Whether it has been a celebrity or the fab people I follow on Instagram. I, not only, gag over celebrities but over dope everyday working folk (such as myself).
   
   

   

   
   
    You have to admire people who don't wake up and have a whole team at their beckon call. We get up look at our own closet, do our own hair and makeup, pick out our own accessories.  We put all of that together and hope it looks as dope as we imagined in our heads and go out the door. Mind you 95 percent of the items I mentioned we purchased with our hard earned money not gifted by a designer.
   
   
   Ironically,the fashion industry pulls from "street fashion" -THAT MEANS US- all the time! The fashion world people watch just like the common folk. That's why I think so many fashions recycle themselves.
   So below I am going to give you a mix of celebrities and everyday fab people in the monotone trend. Which by the way I don't think is going anywhere anytime soon!
   Kim is definitely a monotone expert! I don't think I have seen her fail at this style! 
   
   

   

   
   

   I couldn't find too many pictures of Beyonce  in this trend but the look I did find she killed nonetheless. And of course MOTHER RIH-RIH! All jean is one of the dopest monotone trends around! 

   

   
   

   The couple that monotones together stays together..

    

   And last but not least! Little ole me!
