We’re continuing our fly Bombshell streak with Patience, a Zimbabwe native currently living in West Des Moines, Iowa:
She says, “I am an actuary by profession and also the face behind the fashion blog, www.justpatience.com.”
” My blog documents more of my personal style and little tidbits of my daily life.”
“…I would describe my style as more of classic with a hint of edge.”
” That is not to say I can’t go street style when duty calls for it :).”
” I don’t usually fall into the trendy fads as much, since whenever I am about to buy something, I’d ask myself, would I rock this in 5 years?”
” Note the use of the word rocking instead of wearing.”
” Big difference between the two.”
“I would really be honored to be featured and hear what other readers think of my style.”
I.love.it.all. You better go on and keep it fly in Iowa! And watch out before I jack you for that Céline tote. Hot!

November 2, 2011 4:20 pm
BOOM!
November 2, 2011 4:23 pm
She’s beautiful. Awesome style! Checking out her blog NOW!
November 2, 2011 4:28 pm
i never comment on the bombs but this chick right HERE! is the truth. THIS to me is style, every look is complete, tastefully accessorized, shoe game on 100 and she is wearing the HELL out of them clothes, not the other way around. no gimmicks here and none necessary. she knows who she is, has a distinct POV that comes across clearly no matter what she is wearing or where she is going, knows what works for her and does it like a queen. quality, well fitting, well tailored pieces. best bombshell ever in my book.
November 2, 2011 4:28 pm
YES! I havent been on her ein two weeks because I was scared off by all the fuckery that was being posted. She is a “A” in my book!
November 2, 2011 4:30 pm
There is something about her. All her looks seem effortless. Nice! Love the yellow dress outfit. * going to check out her blog*
November 2, 2011 4:36 pm
Love everything about her…
November 2, 2011 4:38 pm
Yesss! Yes! Yes! Fancy and then some, the best I’ve seen so far. Patience you rock!
November 2, 2011 4:39 pm
I’ve never seen a 91% approval ever. Fashion Bombshell of 2011.
November 2, 2011 4:54 pm
Fabulous looks all around!!!!!! I’m going to need all of those outfits and their accessories asap lol!!!!!!!!!
November 2, 2011 4:54 pm
Great pick, Claire! 100% Yes! I loved it all :)
November 2, 2011 5:04 pm

November 2, 2011 5:15 pm
BEAUTIFUL!! LOVE her style!!
November 2, 2011 5:23 pm
wow! home girl has beauty, brains and style!will be checking her blog…
November 2, 2011 5:34 pm
she really defines elegance, which is something we’re seeing less and less of nowadays in fashion. i am, however, always loathe to give a 100% stamp of approval without seeing more of how she styles trousers (i think skirts/dresses are sort of easier to get right)
November 2, 2011 5:47 pm
Now THIS is a bombshell!!!
November 2, 2011 5:52 pm
She is the truth…
November 2, 2011 5:54 pm
Attention….Bombshell Alert…HOTTT!

November 2, 2011 8:05 pm
I have am lusting over that Celine bag! I know that’s sinful…but dang! :-) I have to agree with many of the comments, she is the best FBOD that I have seen on this website. Reminds me of some of the Parisian women featured on the Sartorialist, effortless, classy, stylish!
November 2, 2011 8:19 pm
I lived in West Desmoines for four years. A Bronx chic living in the midwest was straight torture ughhhh any who you look HAUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

November 4, 2011 2:39 pm
nothing over the top…. pretty vanilla if you ask me .
November 4, 2011 3:00 pm
love it, but is it HER style? the pics look like a photoshoot in borrowed clothes styled by a stylist (note the bottom of the nude suede pumps…clean as a whistle)
November 4, 2011 3:29 pm
She has GREAT style….I love it all.
November 4, 2011 5:30 pm
AWEEEESOME!!!!!!!
November 4, 2011 6:41 pm
@Tricia, Yes it is my style, I don’t have a stylist, don’t know if there is any in Iowa (wish I did :)). All clothes are mine and some pieces are featured in multiple Lookbooks on my blog. I guess it’s a compliment and flattery that you think I have a stylist :)
November 5, 2011 11:23 am
I’ve never commented on a Bombshell before (I usually just take in the sights and comments), but Patience’s style is amazing. Truly a Bombshell.
November 5, 2011 9:26 pm
Yessssss! LOVE IT LOVE IT!
November 6, 2011 6:10 pm
Love her style! Can’t believe she’s wasting it in Iowa though. lol
November 6, 2011 8:18 pm
Wonderful! A lot of class, sophisticated, a 10!
November 7, 2011 9:30 am
I saw the tweet about this bombshell but didn’t have the time to check. She’s hands down a great submission. Such poise, classic silhouettes, fabulous colors and top shoes and accessories!!! Instant follow and I wish her the best!!
