ALL IN THE DETAILS: 50 Shades Of Black

October 28th, 2015 at 2:00am

When summer breezes transition into huge gusts of autumn winds, that’s when you know it is safe to dig out your favorite sweater. Scenic views of colorful leaf-covered streets are just another bonus of this time of year. So when a Fashionista takes a classic all-black approach and her daily background is busy with every other hue in the spectrum, it allows her to stand out.

Neiman Marcus said: “Women who wear black live colorful lives.” This Fashionista is living proof of this quote. She wears a charcoal black sweater from Forever 21, leggings and boots which serve as the perfect canvas to splash color on. This Fashionista decides to add a pop of color with her candied green apple clutch she purchased from Express. This clutch serves as the perfect statement piece. It draws you to her hands accessorized by her infinity ring which adds to her personality. Another trend this Fashionista showcases is the hot return of the choker. Whether plastic or made of metals, it seems to have a strong hold especially among the ’90s babies. I believe it is safe to say that it can now  be considered a classic throwback piece.

How To: To get this Fashionista’s look,  grab a pair of bubble patterned boots. The height is perfect for pairing with leggings, jeans and perhaps your go-to skirt. If you’d like another way to jazz up this look, consider a scarf.

    Hey! My name is Amirah King and I am a Senior Photojournalism major at Ball State University. In no way, shape, or form do I consider myself to be a fashion expert. But I do have an eye for details and subtle 'flash'. Things that tend to catch my attention tend to be bold and monochromatic. So anything black & white, with accessories that compliment will usually excite me more than a cluster of colors. For example, one of my favorite fashion icons is Janelle Monae, which is known for her simple yet attention grabbing ensembles. Other style influences are Chris Brown, Angel Haze, & Rihanna to name a few. Right now my personal style is what I call Plane Jane. I like to be comfortable, keep things basic, to the point, but is still considered 'fly' to peers. Currently, I try to incorporate "menswear" to open up my options. I think being versatile in general is a great quality to have. The '90s style and Fall/Winter season is my all time favorite. I live for denim and layering, with hats, all to stay warm! I'm looking forward to sharing my comfort first perspective with you all!
