Today we have our first 3rd time Bombshell. Her style continues to evolve, so I figured, why not? She first debuted in October, 2010, then was featured again in January, 2012. Check out Taylor from North Carolina’s latest submission:
She says, “It’s me…Taylor, again! You might remember me from having two submissions before on the website and I’m back to inquire about a third (the third time’s a charm, right?)”
“I’ve cleaned up my style a bit, having a more clear view of who I am and I am now a freshman college student! Time passes by so fast.”
“To be honest, I really don’t have a set genre for my style.”
” One day I can be grungy and the next day I can be extremely girly.”
” What I wear is decided by my mood and what my mind state is for that day.”
” I’m inspired by a lot of old school things and most of my inspiration comes from films from the 80′s and 90′s. Right now, I attend an HBCU where my choice of outfits sometimes get the disapproving stares, but never has that altered my perception of myself.”
” People are used to ‘the norm’…”
“… so when they see something quite different, they tend to not understand it.”
” One things for sure, I will always stick to who I am.”
“… Right now I am a freshman in college studying Apparel Design…”
“… and hopefully one day I will find my way to New York City.”
“My blog is Theskinnyfashionista.blogspot.com.”
Wow! Your style has changed so much in the past few years! I like what I see.
What do you think, Bombers and Bombshells? Was the third time a charm for Taylor?

Oh I LOVE her! LOVEEEE!!!!
March 20, 2013 1:51 pm
She pulls it off quite well! Miss me on the CUNT Tee tho!
March 20, 2013 1:51 pm
I love her style. So different.
March 20, 2013 1:59 pm
After looking at her series, I don’t think her style has evolved: she’s right there in the 80s for all three submissions. Not a bad thing, I suppose. However now that she’s in “Apparel Design” perhaps an it’ll help her consider occasionally drawing on other sources of inspiration.
Liked the green pants outfit most (along the pics coming before and after it).
March 20, 2013 2:05 pm
I gave her a bombshell vote although her style isnt my cup of tea at all I admire the fact that she is owning who she is. Her confidence is shown is every outfit and that helped my decision.
March 20, 2013 2:14 pm
I can’t believe this girl is a college freshman! She has such a well-defined sense of style!
March 20, 2013 2:15 pm
1st thought: “now that’s tough!”
now that’s baaaadazz chick. ;-)
March 20, 2013 2:18 pm
there’s a lot going on…just keepin’ up w/ the current trends, and I’m not THAT impressed. However, I like the green pants and denim short with the heels look…tres chic!
March 20, 2013 2:19 pm
*denim shirt
March 20, 2013 2:21 pm
I think she has a great sense of style. Definitely a bombshell, however I am not feeling the “Cunt” shirt.
March 20, 2013 2:36 pm
Haven’t looked at the past submissions, but I think this is solid. It’s not my style for sure, and I don’t think most could pull it off. But she wears it and looks confident.
Also, high five for continuing your education and using it to pursue your passion! The fact that its an HBCU earns you double points in my book!
March 20, 2013 2:36 pm
dope
sans the cunt.
March 20, 2013 2:51 pm
you have really evolved. i love your current style. your previous submissions were giving me a very urban outfitters vibe. this time around, it looks like you’re really bringing your own unique style. i think you could def lose the baseball caps, that’s just my humble and quite frankly disposable opinion.
March 20, 2013 3:01 pm
Yes GIRL !!! All the looks go in for the kill !
March 20, 2013 3:03 pm
I have a thing against the same person submitting a gazillion times.
March 20, 2013 3:06 pm
WERK WERQ WOKK WORK BISH WOOOOORK *two snaps and a neck roll*
March 20, 2013 3:14 pm
Huh…maybe I don’t get it. But I have always HATED those clunky chunky shoes that everybody seems to wear…does nothing for a ladies figure. I guess…do you chile…do you.
March 20, 2013 3:14 pm
I hate every single shoe choice except the ankle strapies, and I subsequently want to do a drive by on Jeffrey Campbell, but I think Ms. Taylor is still a FB. This is her look, not mines, and she pulls it off well.
March 20, 2013 3:15 pm
I guess if this is what fashion has come to…wearing stuff to stick out like a sore thumb….then I’m tapping out. Clearly I must not know fashion……my statment is dripping with sarcasm…Imma beast ok.
March 20, 2013 3:23 pm
@mamareese Thought I was the only one..to each’s own. Ok style. I liked the look with the green pants the most.
March 20, 2013 3:23 pm
This style works for her, but she hasn’t evolved. She’s gotten a bit older and changed her hair. That’s about it.
March 20, 2013 3:24 pm
Thanks for the positive comments guys!
March 20, 2013 3:35 pm
Thanks for the positive comments! Stay beautiful Queens and Kings! Good vibes. xx
March 20, 2013 3:44 pm
Do you Boo!! Love it all.
March 20, 2013 3:53 pm
i guess its just not my cup of tea…and that shirt with that disgusting word on it?…..just no
March 20, 2013 4:08 pm
DEATH to those chunky shoes
March 20, 2013 4:08 pm
@ Meme
my daughter is the same age & freshman in college…she has a t-shirt that literally reads ‘F*CK RACISM’.
i wouldn’t wear it, but i feel like for them its about freedom of expression…especially since high school had so many dress code restraints. ;-)
March 20, 2013 4:09 pm
Okay, I am not a fan of the clunky chunky heels. I know they’re in but all I can think is Olive Oil (Popeye).
That said, I think you are adorable. People comment on the 80s style, but I get it…it’s what’s in for the younger crowd these days. I lived it and not in the mood to live it again, lol, but I get it.
I think you are a doll, and for your age, your style is awesome. You seem comfortable and at ease with it. You own it my dear.
March 20, 2013 4:10 pm
Is she really wearing a shirt that says “cunt”?! Ehhh.
March 20, 2013 4:14 pm
YAS YAS YAS!!!! SUPER DOPE!!!
March 20, 2013 4:20 pm
I really like the twist, the fact that you’re comfortable being you is great, but I don’t see bombshell just yet. But I wish you the best with your education.
March 20, 2013 4:23 pm
Love her, keep doing you young Lady, anything outside the normal trend will always get stares, for you to be this conscious at such a young age speaks volumes of who you are! Take you self to NY after you graduate and continue to excel! ;-)
March 20, 2013 4:23 pm
Gorgeous bombshell!
March 20, 2013 4:25 pm
I am so over jeffrey campbell and his alien shoes….. I want them to go away !!! lol
March 20, 2013 4:26 pm
You attend a HBCU and you wear cunt T. Take a history class before you wear it again.
March 20, 2013 4:51 pm
Resp…she might know all that she needs to know about the word.
Anyway, go girl! Just smile!! I love your style, I’m too old for it, but I love it, and you’re in your years where it just gets better from there. You remind me of a friend who dressed like this she was so badass and still is to this day.
March 20, 2013 5:07 pm
I loved everything but the shoes threw a few fits off for me… I too am bored with the JC, superchunky styles!! So much so that it made me say hit or miss because it doesn’t go with everything! i.e. it was so cute with “cunt” tee,,, but with the last pic I wasn’t feeling it… sigh!
March 20, 2013 5:07 pm
I like it when someone pulls off fashions that I’m not necessarily a fan of (e.g. clunky shoes). On me…..never…..on her….fierce! There is something about her and her look that impresses me. Love it!
March 20, 2013 5:39 pm
This submission put a smile on my face. Love her fierce individuality and strong sense of self. Her personality shines through in her outfit choices, and that’s what really makes a fashion bombshell a bombshell! She has a je ne sais quoi…#amirite?
March 20, 2013 6:27 pm
EAGLE PRIDE!!!!!!
March 20, 2013 6:49 pm
I like how she reused her cardigan and her shoes over again with different outfits. She’s a winner and she’s young confident and talented !!!
March 20, 2013 7:23 pm
Most of the bombshells featured don’t really do anything for me. I feel like everyone is dressing in the exact styles because of fast fashion brands. I can see nearly the same outfits all over twitter, instagram, and tumblr. There is no such thing as dressing with originality because we all shop at the same brands.
March 20, 2013 7:26 pm
i was there until i got to the cunt shirt.
i mean, really? people nowadays always want to try to shock or be ironic or clever. it just comes across as trite, dumb and generally uninteresting.
weren’t we just offended that a little black girl was called a cunt?
oh. she’s grown. she can be a cunt. lol. silly and childish.
March 20, 2013 7:32 pm
she embraces her own style she isnt afraid to push the envelope thats what i am so intrigued by. Love her :) Ive been following her tumblr for quite some time now her new blog.
March 20, 2013 7:37 pm
Not feeling the Cunt t-shirt, but she knows herself, and looks cute.
March 20, 2013 7:53 pm
NOPE! that cunt shirt ain’t it & i HATE those ugly ass, clunky, frankenstein
club kid shoes, BUT i am so feeling the green harem sweat pants & denim shirt. loose the earrings & pair the outfit w/another heel & that ensemble, hair, & pose are everything!
March 20, 2013 8:10 pm
She went from playing it safe to allowing herself to feel with colors and the heels. I do ser a big difference.
March 20, 2013 8:11 pm
She evolved!
March 20, 2013 9:25 pm
I love her style I just hate Jeffery Campbell litas
March 20, 2013 11:11 pm
I called Bombshell… She is KILLING it. I especially love seeing her grow into herself. I don’t really care for the Cunt shirt, but It makes me think of Karl L. and her confidence reads all through it. She’s got some funky stuff but she wears it versus being worn buy it. Keep it up Doll KEEP IT UP!
March 21, 2013 1:12 am
Can YOU SAY FLYGIRL? YEAS YEAS YEAS!!!
March 21, 2013 1:17 am
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE EVERY LOOK! SHE’S DEFINITELY MADE IT ONTO MY TREND FORECASTING BOARD FOR CLIENTS!
MAKE YOUR WAY TO NYC … WHERE YOU BELONG!!!
March 21, 2013 1:17 am
Since when is wearing a shirt that says cunt and wearing orthopedic shoes, fashionable?
I like the confidence though
March 21, 2013 2:18 am
I prefer someone with her own style than someone fashionable…you nailed it sista..2nd fav after the gal form Vegas
March 21, 2013 8:57 am
I love your style chica. Your confidence shines through and self awareness is off of the charts. Stay positive. I see you go to my good ol’ alma mater. I Love My Good Ol’ NCCU!!!!
March 21, 2013 9:20 am
Get rid of the “cunt” shirt. It’s tired.
March 21, 2013 10:33 am
The JC’s need to die a thousand deaths however I do love her style.
March 21, 2013 12:13 pm
Aggressive. Provocative. The shoes! I guess my asthetic is more “pretty” and “classic”. But while it’s not my style – I see you! Work!
March 21, 2013 12:14 pm
Aggressive. Provocative. Those shoes!!! I prefer pretty, sexy and classic. Though it’s not my style – I see you! Work!
March 21, 2013 2:34 pm
While her style isn’t necessarily my taste (I’m pretty conservative), it was VERY consistent! A truly stylish person’s over all look/style story is cohesive and everything she’s wearing looks like it could all be from the same collection. LOVE IT!! Love how daring she is. Keep turning heads girl!
March 21, 2013 2:37 pm
Loving the Indian print dress. Not a fan of the shoes she paired with it but its her look.
March 21, 2013 7:17 pm
Wearing profanity is so trashy, and tasteless. The word. is disgusting and belittling more proof that some people will “wear” anything or nothing for attention~ SMH
I am disappointed in the FashionBomb for even running that photo.
March 21, 2013 11:40 pm
Taylor!!! I’m presenting Monday and I WILL be using one of your images from this site, if not just pulling up this website and showing off this feature. I LOVE each and every look, and the cunt shirt is actually my FAVORITE. Dope! (I sit in front of you in Clothing and People)
March 22, 2013 10:31 am
dope shoe game!
March 22, 2013 1:06 pm
Bombshell
March 22, 2013 4:43 pm
Great job on your ever evolving style!
March 22, 2013 7:19 pm
Ditto, Ann. 3rd time’s the charm!
March 22, 2013 8:51 pm
I absolutely did not like this submission. Did not wow me or inspire. Just looks like a god awful mess :/ and those shoes-I can’t. No bueno!!!!!
March 22, 2013 8:54 pm
Her 2012 submission was by FAR the best!!!
March 23, 2013 1:17 pm
Why would any woman want to wear a cunt shirt? Make me understand how that’s cute. All those Jeffery Campbell ridiculous boots have to go.
April 20, 2013 12:15 am
Too Dope Ma!
May 3, 2013 8:30 pm
Love it all!
