Today’s Bombshell is Karin from Maryland!
She says, ” I was born in Germany, I am of Nigerian descent, and I reside in Maryland (The DMV area!).”
“Differing from the norm definitely portrays my style. Wearing what makes me happy is my policy. I don’t follow trends, I set my own.”
” My style is the 21st century avant-garde movement! I’m definitely pushing the boundaries of what is accepted and expected!”
“… Growing up I never could comprehend why people always had something negative to say about my [vision]. It’s evident that people misconstrue anything that differs from the norm.”
” Now, I’m so used to people saying things like “WOW… only you could pull this off!” When I first started hearing it, I pondered to myself “am I really wearing something unusual?” I honestly saw a vision this morning and made it reality.”
” My reality to some seems to be very peculiar, and to others, daring. But in my opinion, it’s simply a reflection of me.”
” Whether it’s my clothes, accessories, or my sweet crush, a unique pair of SHOES, I put it together and make it my own…TANTALIZING!”
” Individual style should be a reflection of you….Embracing me! :)”
” I have a passion for fashion, a love affair with vintage, and an unbreakable bond with my love my new clothing line, Uniquely Atypical by Karin.”
Refreshingly different! You have your own point of view and pull it off with flair. Hot!

A lot of talk. Who are you trying to convince?
There are some AMAZING individual pieces, but this outfits are doing so much. Between the colors, the nails, the weaves, the everything…I’m overwhelmed. I’m so overwhelmed.
Beautiful girl, however.
Honestly my initial reaction was yuck.. n feel bad about that. She is beautiful girl but style not my taste
Actually in today’s fashion climate, she is no longer “uniquely atypical” but I definitely see her style which is in one word “quirky”. The hair leaves much to be desired. You could tighten up your hair game but other than that nice pieces for the look she’s going for.
Good gosh. The second outfit killed it entirely for me (not in a good way). I mean the entire collection was a mess (sorry), but that second outfit? Wowzer. She has similar shaped legs as me; that length skirt, with those high tops are a NO for us.
Yeah I think it was that 2nd outfit that got me (in a bad way) too. The shoes NOOOOOO ! the skirt, the way its worn NOOOOOO! IT JUST LOOKS AWFUL
For some reason. I feeling it! The prints worked for her. I appreciate her being confident and really going for it. Kudos to her!
The description came off as pretentious, but I like some of the individual pieces.
Oh honey, no. There is nothing redeemable in any of these outfits.
I agree with @Southern who’s she trying to convince… The one word that came to mind was #Tacky but to each it’s own.
Giuseppe, Fendi shoes I spy!! the African Prints are nice but the hair is a big fat NO MAAM!! I actually like the curly, but well…..the style needs polishing! shes really pretty and I like her pops of color.
Bye bye Nicole!!
I don’t get it, what’s wrong with her hair?
Im from Maryland the DMV area to be exact and this is making cringe and ask why?!?!?
No
Blood of Jesus!!!! I’m speechless…
The sheer insanity of this post has rendered me speechless…MAY GOD HELP US FORGET WHAT WE’VE SEEN HERE! SMDH!
I’m from the “DMV” and all I can say is WTF!! We don’t dress like THAT around these parts!
Ummm…she has a very nice shape.
Wow. This is really… bad. Wow.
I very much like the couch in the second picture!
@Kay gee….Lmao
Blue shoes are cute!
How did this mess even get considered?!!! You’re having a laugh, right?
Nexxxxt!
Build-A-Bear Workshop
Love those purple/blue heels and the ripped stone-washed jeans.
That hair! I can’t!
Ummm… have you guys ever been to the DMV area and just hung out…I’m not shocked or surprised at anything that she’s has on…not to generalize but we’ve got a lot of African women here that dress similar and sport moisture thirsty weaves(just saying)…
Oh hell no @ Betely J!! Do not put this atrocity on African women. This is her personal style. Abeg o!!
What the heck? This makes me question Fashion Bomb’s credibility of what’s fashion and what’s the norm. Is this really noteworthy?
SHE MAKES EXPENSIVE PIECES LOOK CHEAP
Wow. Just wow.
Bad hair, bad makeup, the clothes left me speechless and not in a good way. Nothing wrong with a quirky or “different” sort of style as long as it’s put together well. Hideous mess.
Shoe game to die for. Sick body, but babeh that hair. Your African inspired pieces were gorgeous and the best of your looks so far.
@Betely J
Im Black American and feel that my African sisters have been some our best bombs, so her being African has nothing to do with it…
First LOL @Debs comment about the couch
2nd,….oh we’re not going to mention anything about the no point demin LV bag tha keeps make a random appearance like it’s where’ waldo..
One word: T R A G I C
You have an AMAZING smile! Come from behind those huge weaves
Thank you for the love Fashion Bomb Daily and Claire Sulmers!
Beautiful girl, smile and body amazing! Hair wise the African print tops with the shoulder detailing should have been an up do or back off her face. She needs a sleek hair style that won’t over power the clothes. I actually like the 2nd pic. Now, those striped shoes with the red trim seem to take away rather than compliment. But I don’t like the mean comments that are always made. These women read this stuff and it’s hurtful I’m sure. Oh And there was nothing wrong with her makeup!!
I love it! she is a BOMBSHELL because she rocks the hell out of those outfits and she wears them confidence ! Good for you and keep on being beautiful!
Amazing! Beautiful women and her clothes are to die for! I love her looks!
Thank you all! I appreciate it!
Thanks Rhonnie. Check out my IG @uniquelyatypical
I literally had a visceral reaction to that awful hair. It looks like it itches. As for the clothes, I won’t go there….
Trashy and clown like. Really sorry to say.
I like her shoes. That is all
The designes are orginal, unique & culturally inspired. I LOVE the whole collection!
NAH! this is too much
LOVE THE FURNITURE ESPECIALLY THAT CAMEL COLOR COUCH! WHAT?
How the heck did 14% say she was a FASHION bombshell? I’m confused.
Thank you all! I appreciate the support. Check me out @uniquelyatypical on IG.
If you have figured it out she has a little ticky ticky boom!
Boo…boo…why? The hair…every single style and color is tragic.
Those black and white and pink trimmed shoes shouldn’t have made an appearance once, talk more of more than twice.
Overall, sisi mi, you’re a pretty girl but the hair overwhelms your face, and you don’t dress for your bod. I voted No ma’am
The hair is hideous and distracting. ENOUGH of the chocolate women with the super long orange hair! You look like a joke and like you are either mentally unstable or you hate yourself. No one except fellow hood rats thinks that’s cute. Sorry to be so harsh, but these chicks really need to wake up.
Regarding the fashion, there are actually some nice pieces imbedded in this visual cacophony; however, the way these outfits are (not) pulled together is all wrong. She’s going for a funky, eclectic look but it’s just plain chaos.
Ending on a positive note, she is a cute girl with a nice body. She just needs to channel her style and passion (and her eye for interesting pieces) in a new and different direction. She could have potential if she were willing to rework some stuff and be open to input
She looks great. Love her hair
Actually a really beautiful girl. @FashionBombDaily have you considered doing makeover posts? She would most def be a bombshell when down to her natural beauty – without all that ‘mess’
ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!
It’s the weave..it kills every look. Maybe rock a bald or a short cut and then your clothes wouldn’t be so overpowering.
Otherwise you’re a cutie.
She looks beautiful. Are you all blind? Her hair looks good and she pulled off every look. I wonder what some of you look like.
some hit some misses.. but keep doing you.. It’s not as bad as some are trying to make it seem
Just because you can afford Gucci, Guiseppe and Fendi does NOT MEAN YOU ARE A BOMBSHELL!
Doing way too much here. All those beautiful pieces, yet she makes them look clownish. So sad.
Stop with the unnecessary comments. She looks cute.
“… Growing up I never could comprehend why people always had something negative to say about my [vision]. It’s evident that people misconstrue anything that differs from the norm.”
Clearly, she’s used to people criticizing (making fun?) of her look. I personally wouldn’t dress like this, but I also wouldn’t dress like Betsey Johnson. If she likes it, I love it.
Some of these comments are actually constructive and aren’t meant to be mean (some could be worded better), but most want to help her in case she is actually unaware of how she appears.
If my hair was ‘off’, I would hope that someone tells me sooner rather than later. If she knows and is fine with her current look, then so be it. But folks are giving her tips for a more cohesive, polished appearance if she chooses to accept it. No shade, just being direct–the hair and closure overshadows the clothing by a landslide which is an issue on FASHIONBombDaily.
The clothing choices are more forgiving–not really my taste but I can see the quirky angle in her selections.
Let her live. She is beautiful and her style is unique. I’m sure some of you look like trash.
She looks beautiful. She nailed every look. I agree with you Heather let her live. Her hair actually looks great. I am sure if a celebrity had their hair that long you all would be praising them. Stop hating on her. Women these days you all always have something to say about the next.
All these outfits look extremely cheap but shoutout to her for embracing her style. I’m also from the DMV and see stuff like this all the time (especially the terrible weave). Ladies we’ve got to do better.
My eyes are still trying to recover, WOOOO Willy Wonka in the chocolate factory, kill me kill me kill me…. AAAhhhhh, I like some individual pieces, but girl really?? And the weave, JIKES
Great smile. Unique fashion. The hair killed it for me. She actually has a cute face, the hair detracts from it.
