Style 101

 

Styled by: Moesha Reid

Day 1: I wore a black mesh top, leather pants and silver leather creepers. This looks gives you that modern rocker feel. Very casual and can be worn for a night out to the city.

Day 2: I wore a mesh crop top, white sports bra, leather skirt and silver leather creepers. This outfit was not my favorite because I wasn't able to wear it out without having difficulties staying comfortable.

Day 3: I wore a white leather and vinyl jacket, white jeans, white tank, and white converse. This is the definition of turning art into fashion.The look is edgy and polished cyber industrial style with sci fi influences.

Day 4: I wore a grey crop top, black tutu and silver leather creepers. I love this outfit ! I think mainly because it has a dramatic bottom & I really like that exaggerated look.

 Day 5: I wore a leather biker jacket, black bustier, and black pants, and silver leather creepers.This outfit I made personally from the top to the pants. This gave me that futuristic sci fi look with the harem style pants. I could wear this on a regular day out with friends.

Day 1: What better way to get a sleek edgy look then straight hair ? Use any oil ( I prefer Moroccan oil) after your hair is freshly washed and dried. Press the flat iron through small sections of your hair and then your ready to go!

Day 2: Feeling spunky? Take your preferred sized curling iron and pass it through your hair . You don't have to be neat with this style which I love! After your done curling , use hair spray for a nice hold . I used "lift me up" hairspray by Herbal Essences. Run your fingers through your hair and complete!

Day 3: Its day three and I'm feeling lazy but still want to look relaxed . Don't feel like doing your hair ? What better way to beat this feeling then a fish tail braid? Do one in the back like I have or make the braid more towards the side , place a scrunchy on the bottom and done!

Day 4:What better way to experiment a new look then new color! Personally wanted to go lighter but kept my roots natural for that ombré beachy look . LOVE ,LOVE ,LOVE!

Day 5: Got tired of the middle part and wanted something different. Parted my hair to desired side and gave myself a soft side swoop. Who's ready to party? I am!
