A Diva State of Mind

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you may have seen a recent client photo of my friend Jovonne, but I wanted to make sure I shared photos with everyone.  I styled Jovonne for her birthday dinner at Capital Grille a few weeks ago. She contacted me wanting to create an outfit around a fabulous black and white vest she recently purchased.

Jovonne is a HUGE Alicia Keys fan, so I knew we had to use her as style inspiration.  Anyone who follows the singer knows Ms. Keys loves wearing skinny jeans or pants with a statement top or blazer. In this case, the statement was the vest. 

For a sleek, sophisticated look, we decided to pull the hair back in a bun and rock a red lip. Jovonne is wearing black & nude snakeskin pumps from Shoe Dazzle. Her reaction: “I didn’t think these would match the vest.” Black and nude are neutral colors; therefore they can be paired with anything!  She is wearing skinny pants from Macys, a black turtleneck and faux fur vest from Marshalls with a skinny belt (her own) and a red clutch (her own).

She LOVED her outfit! “The outfit looks hot!” she said.  Her reaction is why I want to be a stylist. I want women to be confident in their own skin and love the way they look!

How do you wear your faux fur vest?
