“This look is something that I’d like to call an all-purpose outfit. I feel confident enough wearing it to work without it being street-ish and comfortable enough to wear it at an after work happy hour without looking like I came from a long day at the office.” -Kris

If you are headed out to a few spots after work, the best item to bring with you is a thick coat of course. If you want to get technical, a bomber jacket sounds more precise.

For this post, friend of the blog, Kris, shows us how he runs errands in style in his bomber jacket. while also keeping warm. His look consists of a white turtleneck, cotton dress pants, and suede brogue shoes. He states, “The wool slacks and hard-bottom blue suede brogues give the look the professional “I mean business” feel, while the cotton turtle neck and quilted jacket give it the relaxed “but I’m chilling” look. I always was an advocate of mixing blue and green together.”

Since bomber jackets are popular this season, don’t be afraid to dress yours up with a collared shirt or sweater like Kris.

To accessorize, Kris brought along his leather backpack. As you already know, backpacks are perfect when you are on the go.

So, tell us, what do you think of this look?

Ankle Booties: Zara

Camo, camo, and more camo! This season is all about your favorite military print, camouflage.

Today, our favorite stylist, Dyandra Raye, matched up her newly purchased camo jacket with an all white ensemble.

She states, “I’ve never before owned an Army jacket, but after I picked one up for the rescheduled Kanye concert, I realized why they are such a fashion hit. This vintage army coat is warm, comfortable, and stylish. It’s great to throw over your tights on your way to workout or with jeans for a casual happy hour.”

Great suggestions Dyandra Raye! We love how you styled your jacket as well. Pairing white with any bold print is a good look, especially with those green ankle boots from Zara.

“She’s your Queen-to-be. A Queen-to-be forever” is a line from one of the funniest movies, Coming to America. Today, MyAsia combines autumn colors, animal prints, and royal accessories in her featured look.

Autumn is the perfect time to bust out your favorite tights. MyAsia agrees and had this to say, “The fall tights are also from Amazon as the weather is shifting these tights have a cozy fabric on the inside that keep you warm.”

In terms of color and print, this Philadelphia native has a lot going on, in a good way. She states, “Maroons, mustard yellows among many others are my fall “go-to” colors. They are the neutrals of fall. No matter how you rock them, they always come through for you.” That’s a good way to put things MyAsia. They work well for you!

Continuing on, she went with a maroon tunic from Amazon Prime. Simple, yet chic, this top accentuates the shape. MyAsia further styled her outfit with a printed scarf. “Cheetah print will never get old so when you rock it rock it bold,” she says.

Furthermore, this royal beauty also had this to also say about her look, “I was feeling like a Goddess rocking my short cut. So spicing up my crown was a must. Head jewelry straight from the Indian store.”

Overall, we love this look. It’s fit for a queen! Eddie Murphy would be proud.

Happy hump day folks! We are only a couple days away from another fun-filled, three day weekend.

In honor of this special occasion, we bring you another individual style feature from our girl Whitnie.

Last time we caught her on the blog, Whitnie was rocking her camo print jacket. Today, she decided to keep it simple with a multi-colored, tribal print collard shirt and matching heels.

Although most collard shirts can be worn with a pair of distressed jeans or shorts, Whitnie decided to style her shirt has a dress. If you have this look in mind, it’s a great way to show off those summer legs!
