Closing out this week on The Mod Little Melanin, but showing you a "girl power" inspired outfit featuring my favorite red velvet boots. Continue reading below for outfit details! Unlike previous outfits I've styled on The Mod Little Melanin, the focal point of this look was my boots. For this reason, I wanted the remainder of my outfit to complement my boots, not overpower them. I styled this look with a graphic tee I purchased from Rue 21 for $2.99. The gray tee features cuffed sleeves, and a speckled print throughout, with "Girl Gang" written across the front of the tee. I normally am not a graphic tee wearer, however, with graphic t-shirts making a recent comeback in the fashion world, I've decided to incorporate them into my wardrobe.  I paired the boots with black highwaisted jeans from H&M that I purchased for $1.00 (come shop with me, I'll change your life) and layered on a black, suede fringe jacket from Missguided.com. This jacket was originally priced at $80.00, and I purchased it during the summer for only $8.00. The "moto style" of the jacket helps to give the look an edgy vibe, which is exactly what I wanted to portray with this outfit. Accessories are the most important part of an outfit! For this look, I added a black, faux suede cross choker from Claire's, and a pair of hoop earrings purchased from the hair supply store (because we all knew the best accessories come from there). To further the edgy vibe, I added a pair of mirrored sunnies from Shoppriceless.com for $2.99.  - Chelsea Nicole, The Mod Little Melanin 💋

Looking for a way to include Spring pieces into your Late Winter wardrobe? Continue reading below for outfit details and styling tips! Layering is an excellent way to wear Spring pieces in the late Winter months! If you live in a mild climate, like I do, where the average temperature is around 50 degrees, layering should be one of your go-to styling gems! For this look I layered a black turtleneck from H&M underneath a abstract printed jumpsuit also from H&M. I purchased the jumpsuit during H&M's recent buy two get one free sale for $7.00. The jumpsuit features deep colors, such as gold, orange, purple and black. The deeper colors make the jumpsuit perfect for the winter months, which are typically reserved for deep, rich colors.  I paired the jumpsuit with a pair of pointed toe boots from Charlotte Russe to give the jumpsuit a boho look. This look didn't have a ton of accessories, mostly because I'm wearing a turtleneck and hats won't fit on my curly hair. However, in the Spring and Summer months I plan to style this jumpsuit as both a boho look, and as an athleisure look. When I do, I promise to show you the versatility of the jumpsuit in a side by side post!
Here are a few styling tips for layering. Choose Spring pieces that have deep, bold colors or patterns. Great layering basics can be found at H&M for less than $10.00. - Chelsea Nicole, The Mod Little Melanin 💋  If you haven't figured it out now, I'm a bargain hunter who likes to play around with styles and prints. Good deals make me excited, and a buy one get one free sale could draw tears from my eye. So you can only imagine my excitement when I discovered a full outfit at the Forever 21 buy one get one free sale. I tend to avoid graphic tees unless they have a musician on them (if I'm being completely honest). The only graphic tees I wear are covered with Jimi Hendrix, Tupac, and Snoop Dogg. When I saw this graphic sweater at Forever 21, I knew I needed to have it. The words on the sweater drew me to it, Fashionista Advisory: Explicit Style. I felt the shirt would be perfect for a blogger like myself, and the $4.99 price (originally $29.90) was perfect. This sweater may still be available at select Forever 21 Stores. My next find at the Forever 21 sale was a pair of grey boyfriend jeans. At first sight, these jeans looked like they were good quality. They were a higher price ($34.90) which typically equates to better quality in Forever 21. I was wrong. These jeans are cheaply made, poorly stitched and made of the thinnest denim. Shortly, after taking the photo below, this pair of loose fitting jeans ripped leaving an incredibly large hole in the seat area while I was walking. Do not buy these jeans, save your money. I've never purchased a pair of jeans that ripped, and am normally satisfied with a purchase of jeans from Forever 21. If I hadn't gotten this pair of jeans free in the sale (they were also $4.99) I would be completely upset. To accesorize my outfit, I added my extra large fedora hat from Forever 21 for $11.99 (on sale) and my silver hoop earrings. I choose black heeled boots, which were purchased from Charming Charlie's a few years back and my one of a kind black leather feathered purse. I'm a sunglass fiend, and have over 50 pairs of sunglasses that I've collected over the years, a true waste of money if you ask some. For this outfit, I choose my favorite pair, my silver "Ozzy Osborne" style round frame glasses. I've had this pair for years and don't recall where I purchased them, although similar sunnies can be found on Forever21.com. Now that I've ruined the jeans in this picture, I'll have to come up with other outfit ideas for this sweater! I'll be sure to show them off in a later post! - Chelsea Nicole, The Mod Little Melanin  |
