All In a Hard Days Work....

Now I know - I am not the only female that thinks about fashion right before she closes her eyes at night!

But as I walk the streets of my wonderful city...I feel like I am the only person on the block that puts any effort into my clothes.

So...I thought I would help my sistas out on "Work Fashion". I know you want to be fashion divas and look good at all times - but that doesn't mean you have to be the "hoochie of the office"!

Come on now....if you want to climb that ladder - you should put a little more thought into what you wear to the god J O B!

I thought I would start off by sharing a few pieces that should be in every woman’s closet...

Payless, Macy's, Forever 21 and J. Crew all have them....and atleast one pair should be in your closet - and that's the classic black pump.



Nine West
"BEGIN"
$69.99

A new must have is a black and white skirt....it has become a classic look just like the black knee -length skirt...


Dillard's
"Nygard Collection Belted Hounds tooth Pencil Skirt"
$68.00




You could pair that classic black and white skirt with a little color...just like this cute fitted top

Nine West
"Vamp Short Sleeve Shirt"
$69.99

To complete this look - I have decided to find a simple black handbag.



Nine West
"Bold Strokes Shoulder Bag"
$49.99

If I had to walk away with one of those items - it would be the black and white skirt! It is a must have - check your locate vintage shops, Goodwill and any of your Fav Department Stores! I am sure you could find variations of that skirt!

Obsession: Classic White Shirt

Victoria Ruffle Shirt for $89.50
"I love this shirt"

The Classic White Shirt is a timeless piece and ESSENTIAL to your wardrobe. Actually I have tons of classic white shirts because they practically go with everything. I wear them to work with slacks, business suits, skirts, sheath dresses. When I want to really look like a hot girl, I throw a cardigan or vest on top of my white shirt and slip on a skinny belt around my waist (this also helps my waist look smaller). Don't forget the pearls or other cute accessories. :)

Kimchi Oxford Buttondown for $19.99

Mandarin collar pleated shirt for $48.00

Stretch Fitted Shirt for $39.50

Juicy Coture Tie- Neck Blouse for $106.80

Have fun with your classic white shirt. Rock your favorite jeans and shoes then throw on a fun oversized bag. It's definitely a fool-proof ensemble so you can't go wrong. You don't even have to worry about matching because the White Shirt essentially goes with everything.

FYI!!! I am absolutely loving my J. Crew Ruffle Shirt because it fits extremely well and gives me an edgy but classy appeal. J.Crew is one of my fav places to find classic shirts because they fit very well and are great quality. Make sure that you hit their clearance section and the outlet (if there is one in your area). They also offer a 15% discount for students!!! Good thing there's no expiration on my college i.d.

XOXO,

Star Jack - Sasha Fierce



Is this Beyonce or Sasha Fierce?!?! :)


Whomever it is!!! I love the shoes. I noticed this picture on http://www.sandrarose.com/ and had to star jack 'em. Personally, I don't think that Beyonce is a true fashionista. She's simply a hot, talented chic with money and can buy really nice items. But when it comes to fashion, I can pick pieces from her ensemble that looks great and pieces that she should have left at home or worn with another outfit. I guess she inherited her sense of style from Mama Tina. {Sneaky laugh} I am going to be banned from this site because Simone is a huge Beyonce fan and in her book, Beyonce can do no wrong. Beyonce is fierce but she is no fashion diva. Sorry Mone!!! :)Nevertheless for all you B lovers I have star jacked Mrs. Carter...Gotta to have the shoes in my life!!!
Sparkle Peep Toe Pump by Tara Subkoff for $215.00

Ruffle Mesh Top for $21.99


Lindsey Skinny Jean for $12.50

The Forever 21 Jeans are my FAV jeans. I have tons of designer jeans. But when I want to feel like a Hot Girl, I pull out the forever21 jeans.


Glitz Crystal Flats for $29.99

The flats are super cute, too. I would wear a fitted white tee with black skinny jeans and wrap a rep scarf around my neck. SUPER CUTE and COMFY!!!

XOXO,
Missy :)



News Worthy: RED is an aphrodisiac for men!!!

Liv Tyler, Sienna Miller and Rumer Willis


Many of us have known for years that RED is the color that makes most guys go CooCoo for CoCo Puffs but there's nothing like statistical proof from an "expert" to back it up. Researchers at the University of Rochester have done a study and found the the color red is indeed an aphrodisiac for men.

Converting the wadrobe to red and have already Star-Jacked this dress. :)

Strapless Cocktail Dress for $22.80
www.forever21.com/

Here's an excerpt from the study:

Researchers at the University of Rochester conducted five psychological experiments to assess how color can affect how men view a woman's attractiveness. In one study, the men were shown photographs of women framed by a border of either red or white. The men tended to find the women more attractive when they appeared in the red frame. In another study, the men were shown pictures of women wearing red followed by pictures of the same women wearing another color. When wearing red, the women were more likely to score an invitation to the prom and to be treated to a more expensive date. Source: http://www.latimes.com/

Absolutely love it when I find super deals that I can work and play in... :)


Marlie Grainy Plaid Skirt for $17.80

Kolina Dress Vest for $17.80
Lindsay Skinny Jeans for $12.50

Jade T-Strap for $27.99


Work it then, Mama!!! I was going to throw a pair of converse in there to make it SUPER CRAZY, but I'll wait to do a converse obsession post later. I want them to be the center of attention. Hopefully Simone will add her two cents since she is the one who had me hooked on the pink high-top converse about 10 years ago. :)

Anywho, it's Fashion Gumbo baby...Time to add your flavor, send your super ideas to supercrazyfashion@gmail.com.

Re-Run - Something Blue?

HELLO LOVER... :)


Doesn't the Forever 21 "Pleated Satin Pump" remind you of the fabulous "Something Blue Satin Pump" by Manolo Blahnik from the movie, "Sex In The City."




The OMGish Manolo pumps are available at Neiman Marcus for about $945. Although I could have sworn that Carrie told J.Hud in the movie that they cost around $600ish.

Oh Well! Anyone creative enough to add the rhinestone piece to the forever21 shoes? I bet Hobby Lobby has something similiar that will allow us to ice our shoes out.

Let us know! :-) I am SUPER serious!!!

XOXO,
Missy :)

Goodwill - is it Good Enough?!?!?!?!

As a bargain shopper - I try to find deals that I can't live without! And this is the next trend of the season - which is a very hot trend.....

I was at the Goodwill a few weeks ago and noticed a few suit jackets that I could work with....as you have noticed in the fashion magazines that suit jackets are hot right now!

Just like our fav fab mother of two/three(I count Tre as her child as well) - Jada Pinkett Smith is doing here with her family!




So I purchased a navy blue blazer - and its so cute. I have taken that bad boy to the cleaners and will rock it with some slacks and a cute cami - and/or with some skinny jeans and a fierceeeeeee pump.

The best part of this style is it was CHEAP!!! The jacket cost me $6.50....tell me I am not a bargain and stylish shopper!
