More and more in the recent months I have had my style compared to the likes of Scandal superstar Olivia Pope, played by the gorgeous Kerry Washington. I am always left humbled by the comments and take pride in my ability to craft sophisticated, sexy, yet "edgy" looks that connect with women all over the world. Over the years I have watched my style develop and grow with me as I began to blossom professionally and personally. Long gone are the days of my bright pink crop tops, yellow pumps and polka dot peplums... today I am in the best place of my life and I am so thrilled that my style meets me right where I am. But the real MVP is this little girl in the background rocking this pink tutu. Yes Honey.... You better #SLAY in my picture!!!
A question that always seems to come up during style consultations is if it's okay to wear so many dark colors in the summer. "Like won't I be hot??" they ask. The answer is "Absolutely it's okay and no you should not be hot." Deep hues aren't reserved exclusively for the cooler months; the key is simply finding the balance of materials and fabric choices within your outfit so that you stay cool in the dark colors.
For this complete look I decide to do a simple layering effect with my vest and rocked this little white bralette from Forever 21 (super airy) and a basic black long pencil skirt in a summer knit which is essentially a light-weight material. On the feet, I pulled out my clear heels from Ego to further emphasize the "breezy" look.
