Style Review

February 23, 2016 by Samjah Iman in Style Review

Every now and then I go through my previous fashion pictures to evaluate my style.  I look to see if and how my style has evolved and what I can do to dig deeper into my art.  This time, instead of going through my pictures by myself, I'm going to openly go through them using the S&E platform so that my readers can give their opinions as well.  So let's get to critiquing!

For those that will be critiquing me, "keep in mind that I'm an artist....and I'm sensitive about my shit!" - Erykah Badu

Simplicity - my overall style theme.  I like to keep it classic with a touch of pizzazz.   

As you continue to scroll you will notice that I love incorporating black in most of my ensembles. 

Some different color shoes besides black would have been funkier with the style above. 

Finally, some color!

I absolutely love my blue jean blouse!  I think this will be a staple in my wardrobe for a while. 

I can't get enough of black.  Don't judge me!

You got to love a good Carrie Bradshaw look!

I actually will not wear the skirt above again.  Don't ask me why....I'm just over it. 

Distressed jeans are at the top of my fashion list.  They go good with everything - especially my vintage mink!   

From looking through these pictures, I have come to the conclusion that I need to try adding more pop colors to my wardrobe.  Although black is my ultimate shade, it won't hurt to branch out and try other colors in the spectrum.  I will also tie in more prints.  Spring is approaching and this is the perfect season to play with shapes, flowers and loud colors. 

Any other suggestions on turning up my style?

Respect the 70s

January 28, 2016 by Samjah Iman in 70s Fashion, Denim

Although I am deeply in love with the era I was born in - the 80s - the 70s seemed so freaking cool.  I can picture myself kicking it in some dark, smokey club with this outfit on while men are swarming around the place talking jive, afro puffs are in full effect, and Al Green is blasting from the speakers.  The fashion from the 70s era intrigues me.  I love how the clothes were tailored to everyone's body during that era and how the outfits were simple but eye-catching. 

Flared jeans are pushing their way back on the scene.  The H&M jeans I'm wearing in these pictures have the right amount of stretch in them, therefore they hug the bottom perfectly - like a pair of 70s jeans should.  Tying my blue jean shirt up and adding some platform shoes to the mix definitely gave my outfit that 70s look.

Oh, check out my vintage Gucci purse!  This was an awesome Christmas present that was purchased from @Bells_Boutique_ (Instagram).  This boutique has all kinds of vintage designer bags (authentic) for excellent prices - my type of boutique.  

Outfit Details: Fitted Denim Shirt // Flared High Jeans // Aldo Booties (old) // Vintage Gucci Purse - @Bells_Boutique_
