WARDROBE RAID: Guest Fashionista Pamela

Today's guest fashionista happens to be my bestie Pamela. We've been best friends since high school, so I've seen her style development over the years... I remember the first day I saw Pamela. She was rocking a colorful tight tee and jeans. That was her thing back in the day. Although I admit that we both had our fair share of preppy days, we ultimately ended that phase at some point after high school. Pamela's favorite color is green, and she always stayed true to that color. Then college happened! She was no longer a prep, but more punk-ish. She started debuting black nail polish, colorful highlights, and skinny jeans. Today, I'd describe her style as hobo chic... and I call her a "Hippy tree-hugger" sometimes. I absolutely love this girl and her chameleon-like style. I wanted you all to take a look at her world of fashion...

This is what she has to say about her style...

6) Fashion tip for my readers
     - Comfort is crucial.
7) What inspires you when you're working on a look
    - Textures, patterns, and different cultural elements
8) Biggest fashion pet peeve
    - I tend to dislike bows very much! They give me the impression of being a gift...
9) Beloved garment
    - My old green denim skirt

LOOK WHAT I FOUND!!

I got this dress from a little boutique in Washington D.C. At the time, this kind of silk dresses were not that popular. The overall shape of the dress reminds me of Japanese origami. The thing that attracted me most about this dress though is the beautiful pattern... something Italians would put on their scarves. I think it is very elegant. I've only worn this dress three times, because I need a special occasion for it; this dress is just too damn elegant for everyday outings.

WARDROBE RAID: Guest Fashionista Imani

 

Imani opens up and talks about her style. She is known for her incredibly mysterious yet totally funky style. She calls it mix of bohemian and feminine chic. She once used to be this t-shirt and jeans kind of girl, and transformed into a hopeless fashionista as the years went by. Admirer of the fashion designer Kate Spade, she also says she can't get enough of the fashion line Free People. When I asked Imani who she looks up to as her fashion idol, she said Zoe Kravitz. Also, you will not find her jewelry shopping, why? Because Imani loves her mother's jewelry collection. Although Imani's wardrobe is very bohemian-inspired, she is a girly girl deep inside. Her beloved garment is her beautiful prom dress.
