Style Guide #1

It's my first "edition" of a Style Guide on The Mod Little Melanin! Through this format, and Styled by Mod, I hope to be able to reach more readers and inspire more daily looks! This look is perfect for Autumn!

Here are my recommended steps to recreate my look. Start with a denim bottom. I am wearing a boyfriend jean from Forever 21 that I purchased for around $10.99. Next, add a sweater for your top. My sweater is a flowly, trapeze sweater from H&M that I purchased during a Black Friday sale for $14.99.

For a cooler temperature, add your choice of outerwear. Create a "grunge" look by adding a oversized denim jacket. Windsorstore.com is the perfect place to find such a jacket. I choose to layer my sweater with a faux fur vest from Forever 21 that I was able to get for free in a buy one get one free sale.

Complete your look with a bootie! My booties are from Wet Seal and were purchased in the off season (Summer months) for $8.00. My favorite place to find affordable booties is Windsorstore.com (I promise they aren't promoting this blog post). Their shoes are always incredibly affordable and last well throughout multiple seasons. Windsor stores are physically located throughout the midwest.
