Style 101







 -(Photographer: DeAan Pridgeon/ Model: My Alter Ego)-


I absolutely L.O.V.E. fashion!  I don't know what girl doesn't love it.  I'm the kind of girl that loves to take pictures of my clothes and kind of let my alter ego come out (lol)..like in the picture above.  People that know me know that I'm usually the more quiet, sweet, and humble one out the group but it's something about taking pictures that makes me want to act like this other person who is more fierce and outgoing than the everyday me.  I tell people that I have a face of many faces simply because I can look one way on this day and look completely different another day (lol).  I have yet to come up with a name like Beyonce has named her alter ego "Sasha Fierce".  It's crazy how a little makeup, heels, & a new yet cute outfit can bring out this inner confidence.  
Like some say, If you think you look good...you feel good.  
So yeah...I've always enjoyed playing dress up and putting together different outfits.  I actually don't have a specific style.  I dress according to how I feel.  I like the whole 1950's vintage & modern styles, bohemian chic styles, and glamorous styles.  My favorite store used to be Forever 21 but I've been disappointed lately in their selection of fashion.  I actually like H&M.  Their clothes are more sophisticated looking for the average woman in her 20's and early 30's than stores like Forever 21.  The quality seems to be better but I must say I LOVE Anthropologie!  That would be my favorite store if I could afford it (lol).  They have a lot of vintage styles.  I want to eventually upgrade my style collection and also get rid of clothes that I don't wear often.
