If I’m ever in a quandary about what to wear, my go-to is head to toe black. I don’t have to worry about matching or anything. I added some gold jewelry and red lips and I was good to go. Totally brainless.
This top is one of those weird asymmetrical pieces that has one dolman sleeve and one straight sleeve. I love the way it looks but it’s sometimes a pain to wear because I can’t lift my left arm too high when wearing it. And also, a jacket doesn’t go on well with it either. But I sacrifice in the name of fashion. Ha!
top: the shop name escapes me now, but it was one of those deal sites like VeryJane.com or Groopdealz.com; skinny pant: Express clearance rack; boots: Steve Madden via 6pm.com; necklace and ring: Jewelmint; polish: Trina and Julia by Julep: lipstick: Revlon Colorstay in True Red
So I’ve been trying to let my hair grow. Well sometimes that’s what I’m thinking, then I go get it cut again. But this time I’m for real. Even though I just got it cut again. HAHA. It’s been driving me crazy and as you can see in these pics, the longer side sort of has a mind of it’s own, so I went and got BANGS! Not short ones, and really they are side swept bangs and sort of blend in. But at least that long curtain of hair isn’t hanging in my face all the live long day and that’s a relief. So I think it’s to a point now where I can let it grow without it needing to be shaped up every 6-8 weeks. We’ll see. If I can get it back into a ponytail by the end of May, I’ll be a happy camper. So anyway, next week’s photos will be me with {slightly} different hair. Stay tuned!

I love the asymmetrical sleeves on this, but I can understand how it might be a pain sometimes. Still, it makes the black-on-black look interesting, and I LOVE the tiered necklace

I like black-on-black and sometimes I do the same thing cause like you said it doesn’t take a lot of effort. The top is cute and interesting, but I can understand why it would be annoying at times because I have a top something like that where I am constantly yanking at one shoulder because it feels like the seam is hanging lower than the one on the other arm- right now can’t even rememebr which top it is I just know I have one that somewhat annoys me, lol! I am more into silver jewelry when I wear a lot of black, don’t know why, it’s just my go-to style I guess. I really like the whole outfit and your jewelry really brings attention to you so you’re all put-together, great outfit Trina! Really liking your hair, you can do it !!!
