Girl Power

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.
