PROM REDUX 2013

-







My first big event for Tightfisted Fashion proved to be better than I expected. I was so nervous that the elements would not come together....the food, the drinks, the band, the fashion, the art, the guest...but it all did! Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the affair. I had a bit of a cold, but I pulled it together and represented the business well. I owe my friends and family for making my first event a success and I hope I can make this an annual event :)


I wore a thrifted gilded strapless dress. I love how it looks retro yet relevant. I think the dress was all of $8, but looked like a million bucks. The belt came from an antique market for $5. The shoes were "borrowed" indefinately from my mom (lol) and the jewelry was both bought and thrifted. My hair was styled by a local shop who has been doing my hair for years...since I had locs in college. I love how it almost looks like a crown.

New Face

What do we think about my business card?  Good afternoon all, I would like to introduce you to the amazing new face of TF--Ms. Hazel Scott (deceased). She was a singer, actress and an amazing jazz pianist in the 1930s and 1940s who received a scholarship to Juliard at the age of eight. She was like the Nina Simone or Alicia Keys of her day--world renowned, talented, fierce and classy--gracing the covers of Jet, Ebony and LIFE magazines. Ms. Scott was the first black female to have her own TV show, and was also married to legendary politician Adam Clayton Powell. In short...she's a beautiful beast and I feel honored to have her likeness reflected on my new business card. Let her not be forgotten.   Thrifted: jewelry    Thrifted: Pants, polo & necklance                             Thrifted: ankle strap heels and bead necklace  Thrifted: Jeans and scarf (worn as headband)  Thrifted: sling backs and jeggings   Thrifted: Boots and overni

  My Day started out less than fab as I was forced to run errands for a new years party. What can I say...I make some mean deviled eggs...and the people need me! lol I'm wearing a thrifted plaid button-down, old Kmart jeans, gifted cotton jacket, a leather belt from my stay in China and a hat I crocheted. The necklace that I am holding is actually the chain to a purse that didn't live to see 2012 with an old clip-on earring that lost its twin. Besides family time and drinking champagne, I didn't do anything spectacular. I went on a date with myself to watch the fireworks then treated myself to an amazing view of the sunrise over the harbor. Its been getting cooler and I knew I would be bar-hopping so I paired this turtleneck (yes I said turtleneck) with these stretchy pants. I put a silk hankercheif in the jacket pocket for pop and additional color.
