Another collaboration with my blogger partner in crime, Kerstyn Inouye, comin' atcha! For this installment, we centered the styling on this gorgeous, supple yellow moto jacket from Zara. I chose to pair it with a mustard yellow skort from Forever 21, falling in line with my obsession to create matching sets out of unique pieces.


Of course I had to mellow out the yellow with sunnies from my favorite, ZeroUV. The tee I wore underneath the staple jacket is one of my absolute favorites: a soft white tee with Rockdale GCC's logo in the corner, ℅ Rockdale GCC. And the shoes are a near-nude, comfy pair of mules by Marc Fisher.


Just because Winter is here, doesn't mean your wardrobe can't continue having some fun on the colorful side, as proven here. Yellow in particular is a color that stands for many things, the most obvious being optimism and happiness. It produces a cheerful, warming effect and stimulates mental activity while aiding logic, memory, concentration, will-power and communication. When our 3rd Chakra (also associated with yellow) is blocked, we experience shame, anger, fear, bitterness, resentment, prejudice and hate.

The color yellow spiritually effects personal power, strength, sense of self worth, transformation, courage and laughter. Physically, yellow stimulates the nervous system, metabolic rate, calms the stomach and digestive system, aids eczema and other skin issues as well as the pancreas and liver.  Yellow also indicates honor and loyalty, which if you know me, is truly something of value and significance to me.

Damn, I'm rusty. I haven't written a blog post in ages! However, I'm hoping y'all have still been keeping up-to-date with my updates via other platforms.

Regardless, if you've been following me from the start, you know my blog initially came to be because I realized that my friends and I often owned a lot of the same pieces. But because of our unique personal sense of fashion, we all made the piece/s look extremely different due to the way we styled them. Though it's been too tough to be able to shoot friends wearing the same piece with their style shining through, my friend Kerstyn and I decided to recreate this concept recently... starting with this dope ass Poppy Red corduroy jacket, c/o The Cords Co.


I am honestly in love with playing matchmaker to pieces that were not initially born to be worn together. Because of this, I decided to create a co-ord by pairing the jacket with a similarly toned, bright red corduroy skirt. And of course, my Rebel 8 Dipped in Black tee was not only the perfect way to begin this first 3-part collaboration series (of hopefully many more to come), but an essential part of bringing the outfit together.

I added a beret from DimePiece LA: red, rose-embroidered and hand-stitched with the phrase, "Feminist AF", for a lil sass and a lot more red. If you haven't noticed, I've been loving all things red this season!
Kerstyn, on the other hand, chose to remain dipped in black with pops of red, as you can see above. Please go on over to Kerstyn's blog HERE to see more on how she chose to style this jacket!
