Female Work Basics

Sep 26th, 2007 | By Irie Diva | Category: Irie Diva's Picks, Style School

Lil munchkin Sarita has said she is totally clueless when it comes to fashion. In fact, her wardrobe compiles of blues, blacks and yeah…all that drab, sorry i meant basic, stuff. So lil munchkin has asked me to point her in the direction of work basics, to complement her basic wardrobe.

Well I don’t have everything to compile a complete work basics post (cus in my view extensive is basic :-D ) , but here are a few items from Ophelia’s to get you started. Ophelia’s is my favorite store to buy unique work pieces from. (unique doesn’t suggest basic eh) They aren’t exactly the cheapest, but you’re clothes will go a long way and you won’t look like everybody else at work. Definitely a plus in my book. They’re not break your bank expensive either or else I wouldn’t be shopping there, trust! They’re located in the New Kingston Shopping Centre (I’m on a roll today I know) So because this is supposed to be a basics post i stuck to solid colours and pieces that can be mixed and matched. The layered look is quite hot, the button ups have cute buttons, belts or are gathered…all of these pieces are somewhat different from the norm. No plain old basic here!



Its Election day - What should you wear?

Sep 3rd, 2007 | By Irie Diva | Category: Irie Diva's Picks

Well its election day! While everybody else is discussing issues and getting heated, I thought I’d lighten things up and add my stamp of style on the day by giving my fellow Jamaican ladies some fabulous choices to represent your party of choice, something casual for going out to vote and something fabulous for celebrating later! Their are two prominent political parties here in Jamaica are use the colours orange and green. So, here are some outfits I did up just now. Please leave your comments and tell me if i did well :) Most of the pieces are from either wetseal or forever21 , and of course some shoes from Fredericks and Victoria’s Secret . You can contact me for exact links if you see something you like. (click on images to view larger size)



Which should I Wear?

Jul 28th, 2007 | By Irie Diva | Category: Irie Diva's Picks, Style School

So I’m heading out to the club wit ma honey and I have a hot top he hasn’t seen me in yet that i wanted to wear. Its a gorgeous green, black and white number I got in Lane Plaza, a satiny material and a v-neck…perfect to display the girls. I’ve been a bit hesitant to wear it out to a public party because I have been out and seen it before. Anyway i was ready to rock it and knew it would look hot paired with a black bottom. But…I didn’t have a black bottom that matched the cut of the top except these teency lil black shorts…! As a big girl, I try hard to practice good fashion sense, accentuating the right areas and covering up the not-so-right. I took pics of me in my 2 options…cus mirrors never really tell you the truth. I know I have nice legs and so I show them off often, but these shorts were showing way too much for comfort…should I chance it? Do I really look right in these?

Well today I will throw myself at the mercy of the world and allow you to decide…please people be kind to my ego!
