Cassie got her stan on last night, attending Britney Spears’ concert in New York.
She wore a cropped zebra print top, ripped jeans, and platform blue pumps that showed off her slim frame. Go for a similar concert look with these affordable separates:

For those who are yearning for our regular fare, we did solve a handful of Mail Bombs for ya!
First it seems everyone is going to Beyonce’s concert!
Sam from Miami says, “I’ll be attending Beyonce’s concert this summer and I have no idea what to wear and what kind of look I want to go for? Every time I go to shop I ask myself should I wear heels? Flats? Sneakers? Jeans? Pants? Cute girly top? Or a graphic tee? I’m so confused can you set me up with a look i can mimic for the concert?!”
Hey Sam! You should definitely go with flats and jeans, as you’ll most likely be standing up and dancing a lot of the night and you want to be comfortable! As for what you’ll wear on top, you can go for girly or graphic depending on your personality…but it’s Beyoncé, so get some sparkle going!
Try these:
Jamaka says, “I am in DESPERATE need of these shoes or something similar!!! I cannot afford the Chanel version (obviously ), but I would love to have a pair of these!!! Can you please help me???!!!!!!!”
Adriana says, “No knockoffs that I could find just yet, but if a gun heel is what you’re craving, here are a couple of options way below Chanel price“:
Lastly, Necole says, “I need your help…so here goes! Ok, I bought some denim leggings from Aldo today and I need ideas on how to wear them. I gotta stop the impulse purchases LOL!”
Adriana says, “Congrats on the purchase! I’m a fan of leggings, and an even bigger fan of “classing them up” with bold flats, over-the-bum-tunics and tees, and smart boyfriend jackets. Here are some suggestions in that vein:”
That does it for today!
If we didn’t get to your question today, check back next week when we’ll be back to our normal schedule.
Amerie stepped out last week for a Converse/Target event in West Hollywood…
…looking super chic!
A lot of you ask me in Mail Bombs what to wear to a concert or to a slightly casual fashion event. Amerie’s look would work because it’s simple–everything from her cool light blue blazer to gray skinny jeans and white top are somewhat classic. She steps it up, however, with *hot* accessories–retro sunglasses, python clutch, and those shoes? Killer.

1. Sterling Silver Agate Pendant Necklace, $28. 2. Da-Nang Light Blue Pinstripe Blazer, $135. 3. Lilla Pima Ruched Long Tank, $31. 4. Calvin Klein Gathered Clutch, $148. 5.

“The key to style is not following fashion trends. It is about making your style your own and being a leader. Find your style and stick to it.‖Jacqui Stafford
So my friend EJ and I found out about a Robin Thicke concert going on yesterday…
…and decided to make our way over to the Maritime hotel after work to see what was what.
As soon as I walked up to the *long* line, I noticed that it was packed with beautiful, fashionable brown people.
I couldn’t help but snap a few pics:
This brother/sister pair update the 80’s aesthetic in bomber jackets and hot t’s. Homegirls’ sunglasses and green beret are unique and stylish accents.
Straight from the office, these working girls look corporate yet cool with large, hold everything bags, spring ready dresses, and footless tights.
Cheese! These friends are casually chic in skinny jeans and flats.
The young lady on the left adds a personal touch to her classic trench with a cute ribbon belt.
Dude is preppy yet pimpin’ in a smart eggplant sweater, crisp white shirt, and multicolored tie.
Diva on the right shows that a fitted jacket in a bold color can make any outfit pop.
Funky, and fresh dressed, these fashionistas (and fashionisto) were indisputably fierce. They posed like supermodels and looked great doing so. Check out the bright colors, accessories, and gorgeous ‘do’s. Hot!
Warm weather signals unmitigated fabulosity in the city. Hems get shorter, colors brighter, and clothes bolder. And this is just the beginning.
Can’t wait!
Smootches!
