Irie Diva’s sense of style

Apr 20th, 2008 | By Irie Diva | Category: Irie Diva's Picks

Now as much as I love fashion and keep abreast of trends and happenings in the fashion world, it doesnt mean I don’t have my own sense of style. You’ve gotta keep your own style in all of this fabulousness or else you’ll lose yourself and end up a designer’s walking mat from season to season, which is not as fun as it sounds. We’ve seen some of the disastrous things these designers send out from time to time right, yah you gotta keep your head screwed on. Plus you don’t wanna look like a mirror walking down the street in the same thing everyone has on. Your sense of style is what’ll take the latest trend and bring it to the next level.

What’s my sense of style? I’m definitely a girly girl . I love ruffles, I love cutesy blouses and dresses, strappy sandals, high heels, pretty colours and sexy silhouettes. What trends am I feeling right now? I love the spring prints ! Love love love! I wanna get my hands on all the dresses I can find…or afford to splurge on anyway.

I know however that my own sense of style has always been somewhat different. I like to mix colours others wouldn’t really think of mixing and I like to wear pieces that others overlook on the racks. So when I was flipping through Forever 21 for another article, I came across this top that I liked but I could already hear the cries from all my friends who would put me to shame if I told them how much I liked it. Sher, our resident makeup artist , said "its very frilly, god! it would make a woman look like a drag!" No offense dears…lol. She went on to say how much of a tie and dye disaster it was. Ah boy! Here’s the top: (you can click to purchase)

Metallic Crinkle Top

Now you tell me, is it really that bad? LOL of course I had to make up an outfit to go with it, so keeping with my quirky style, here’s what I came up with.

Needless to say, I love the top even more now. Though I figure many of you have lost total faith in me as a stylist! Let me hear what y’all think on my pretty top. :)

Are you starting to feel the high gladiators too?
