Teaching Appropriate Clothing

Teaching Appropriate Clothing by iwasjess featuring short mini skirts

Brights in Winter

Have you ever heard of Polyvore.com? It's a website that is dedicated to fashion & collaboration. You can search through clothes that people add to the site from websites you might already shop at like forever21.com or amazon.com, and ones you may not have heard of like debenhams.com or modcloth.com. If you add their browser plug-in you can add  items that you see on you own internet "window-shopping" sprees.

After you add in items you like, you can make "sets" like the one I made below. Sets can be anything from wishlists, to outfit ideas, or themed collections of clothing you choose to put together. I chose to add in items that resemble my own clothes to come up with new combinations and experiment with my outfits more.

Below is a combination that I would have never thought of if I was only staring at the clothes in my dresser. I'm a visual and kinesthetic/tactile learner so moving the images around in from of me helped to discover a new top/skirt combination. I'm going to try out this look and post pics when I do. Hope you like this!

Things I rarely (never) wear

Hey Y'all,

I thought that I'd share with you my most rejected, no-love getting, dusty...items of clothing.
You know those clothes that you can never find anything to do with--but are t0o nice to get worn around the house?

Welp, these are mine. If anyone has ideas on how to style them, please lemme know!!

Most Worn tops of 2011

Hey Y'all

So I've been playing with Polyvore.com recently (*muah-ha-ha*). I added look-a-likes of almost all my clothes and I've been having fun putting them into different sets. These are my most worn & favorite-est tops I own. My very very favorite id the burgundy blouse because I feel so stylish in it, but I cant deny the dependability of a grey tee! All of these items were less than $25 dollars, probably $15 actually because I don't like paying a lot for shirts. What can i say? I love a great price!                                                     ...(*cheap*)... Bye Loves :)

Today was one of those days where I just didn't want to wear pants. Instead,  I chose leggings (2 layers of them). And it was great :)

When I got this sweater, I knew I'd want to wear it to work (I tutor), so I could feel all professor-ly.

UPDATE!! & OOTD

Hey everybody,

I hope you all are doing well. This semester started off HECTIC! But I’m trying to stick in there and get my self organized enough to deal with it all J

I have a lot of ideas for blog posts and youtube videos but the first thing I have to do is schedule my butt off, I’m talking every minute (ok maybe not) but seriously I’m going to get there….Eventually.

I’ll start off with a good ol’ fashioned outfit of the day.

This was from the first day of class…which is already about a month ago smh. 

                 Dress: F21 Heritage 1981/ Top: Dots/ Sandals: Payless/  Earrings: Street Vendor 

aaaand it was a good hair day!

How's your September/ Fall Semester been?

(Fashion) ootd summer trends

Hey Y'all,  I'm finally back. :-)
This simple outfit actually was a long way coming. The Forever 21 coral top was the perfect match with the H&M shorts because neon, coral, and animal print are all hot summer trends.   

(fashion) bestie ootd :)

 Last Wednesday my friend and I were late for class. Okay that doesn't sound so bad. but the fact that we had a field trip and were supposed to meet in DC kinda made it worse. LOL heres some metro pics :-)

(fashion) wishlist: delias skirt

Hey everyone :)So, this is an installment in my adventures in styling/fashion upgrade adventure!I really love this skirt I found on the delia's website. If i get it, these are some items that I would pair it with. My favorite fall look right now is the feminine skirt paired with a tougher boot. Maybe my style is that girl-meets-boy  trend with the Annie Hall feel? I guess we will see. now, I don't already own all of this stuff, or even similar items in some cases but I'll improvise...and I still haven't bought fall clothes for this year so you never know!

(fashion) OOTD

Hey y'all!

Ok, so I admit I fail because I actually wore this Tuesday…but what can ya do, ya know?

So here it goes…

It’s a shirt I bought last year from forever 21 and I had previously worn it buttoned and belted over a cami with leggings or jeans. It was under 15…I don’t really remember. As you can see it has a pleat effect at the waist so it flows away from the body when buttoned up.

The tank top is from a small sort in a strip mall. I don’t remember L but it was 9.49 on sale. It’s a thick material and feels sturdy, probably to help the print last.

The shorts are from Forever 21 also. They were I think 10ish dollars on the fabulous finds section at the beginning of summer.

The shoes are from Charlotte Russe. My bff Jasmine gave them to me. They are hightops but I rolled them down. They look good both ways.

Lol so yea, I actually love this outfit. I think I'm on the right track with, my fashion mission to think outside the box, create more interesting outfits and so on and so forth. I really liked this because it showed off my body but I still felt relaxed and a bit punky with the shoes and everything I realize that this may be so, so, basic but I'm completely new to this layering thing. In the beginning of summer (before my fashion blog obsession) I would have never thought to wear these items this way. I know crazy, huh?

Luv ya babes,

(fashion) Mission Impossible?

(just so you know it’s like my goal to always have the corniest post titles)

Hello lovely people!

It is officially T minus 13 days until I get by butt back in Maryland. I am so excited to leave my boring house and my ridiculous job at McDonalds. I’m not complaining or anything I appreciate what I have I’m just ready for school to start back up.

I have tons and tons of goals for this upcoming semester! I don’t even want to get into them all because I am going to try and focus on one topic per post as to not confuse the 3 people that may read thisJ.

This post is about fashion {sexy transition! whatthebuck!}

I look kind of like this from day to day.

My formula (est. 2005) is simple.

Jeans+ long cami + fitted shirt+ flats = everyday look

I have mixed it up with colored jeans, long sleeves layered under, hoodies, boots, polos layered under (shudder), ect.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the look and usually think I'm presentably cute, I just don’t want to dress like I'm 15 anymore. I’m going to be 20 in like 9 months! So one of my goals is to change up my style J

It will excite and amaze (hopefully)!

love you much!
