A lot of you have expressed dissatisfaction with the ‘quality’ of Fashion Bombshells this year. Think you can do better? Show us what ya got! Until then, take a gander at Naporje from Philadelphia:

With an e-mail titled, “When all decades fall in love!” says, “As an artist I find various in which I can express myself, the way I dress especially.”

” I love blending the decades in my style.”


” Intertwining the classic looks of the 1940s – 60s and with the colorful trends from the 1970s to present time.”


” My philosophy about how I dress is “Life is too short to wear boring clothes!”‘


” As a growing photographer and writer I find new inspirations for the way I dress with every photo shoot I do and new book I read.”


” A creative soul never stops creative growth, inspiration is everywhere!”


” To explore more of my creativity check out my website, www.naporjethephotographer.com.”

Jazzy! Funky! Creative! I know not everyone will ‘get’ your style, but you bring something different to the table. March to the beat of your own drum, sister!

  7. im mean she had me till i seen the toes hanging over the top of her shoes… Really #gottobemorecareful

  12. she looks like she doesn’t take herself too seriously and doesn’t try too hard which is refreshing. I appreciate her personal style and obvious spirit.

  15. I like 3 outfits from the pics above, I don’t think we should be quick to criticize this girl’s style. Style is just like an opinion, she might not dress the way we Fbd readers want her to but it is HER style.

  20. Well, I’d give points for liberal use of an certified stripper shoe outside of the strip club. I ain’t never seent that done! Bonus point for rocking those Erykah Badu-esque rainbow boots.

  23. i like it, i have a good friend who dresses quirky and i love it. Its things that I can’t and rather not try to pull off, but it works for her. So she gets an A-OK from me! Bombshell!
    Blessings

  25. It’s nice to see Philly on the Fashion Bomb ! :)
    She has some nice pieces, but I think her style could benefit from some refinement without changing her overall aesthetic.
    I love the dark green jacket and the fact that she shows some personality in her poses instead of the basic “blogger stances” we see in most photos.

  27. I see her vision her execution.. not so much and the toes over the sandals…sigh it’s 2013 ppl buy shoes that fit. Other then that Beautiful face beautiful Spirit.

  29. cute girl. I can see what she’s aiming for. Seems FB readers are getting a bit mean spirited.

  31. I like! You are not the “norm” or a Kim K carbon copy. Your style is fresh and it fits your personality. Awesome that you are staying true to who you are and not caring what OTHERS have to say.

  34. I don’t care how quirky or offbeat one’s sense of fashion is. What is most important is to know what your body type is so that clothes are not ill- fitted. Clothes re meant to flatter and enhance not the opposite

  42. I truly love her energy and her different take on things. Some hits, some misses, but the awkward poses aren’t necessary. She has enough personality already that comes through. Cute girl.

  44. I love each and every picture of her, we are so concern of what others think and to be your own person and wear what makes you happy and not care of what others think is just a person who is confident within themselves, so dont hate congradulate.. SHE LOOKS GREAT, YOU GO NAPORJE!!

  45. I usually can’t with people who begin sentences with ‘as an artist’ but i like her style. it’s fun. i even liked the stripper shoes.

  46. It’s so good to see a young beautiful black young lady trying to do what makes her happy, some ppl don’t have enough courage to pursue their dreams and it seems that she does. We need to stop the negative and push the positive in each other and encourage each other to never give up on what ever it is that we are trying to accomplish in life.. Congrats to this young lady.

  48. Why get on here and try to defend the fashion bomber? They come here to be judge!!!!! So that is what exactly happens! If you like it, great….but leave your two cents out when defending the fashion bomber when other don’t like it!

  50. I get it she’s a quirky dresser . I just would like to see the looks more pulled togther .Maybe rock that black lace dress with a jean jacket or blazer & let’s say red boots . it’s still quirky but atleast you don’t have the jacket & shoes fighter each other . Nevertheless I like a person that likes to have fun with their style! Explore !

  51. I like most except the black lace dress ..hmmm that fit is a bit off! Good journeys to you!

  55. I like the fact that she has something to say that is completely different than most folks….she has some coming into her own to do but i think she will get there…n that 90’s outfit reminded me of my youth when i would watch my older cousins get ready to go out….dang i wanna go to a 90’s party!!!

  57. what the hell is going on at fashion bomb lately…..
    This is cause for an intervention seriously….. how did her pics leave email to appearing on here. She looks beyond tacky….. puke

  61. Her style is playful. The world would be pretty bland without a few Naporjes thrown in the mix. I like.

  62. LOL @ telling people what they are allowed to comment on in here. Here are my two cents. I think people vote with their own personal style in mind and not the FB’s. Personally, I vote anyone who has the guts to come on here, that isn’t rocking cookie cutter trends, a Fashion Bomb. It takes nerve to “do you” when the majority are pushing the status quo. Make fashion your own. Any desperate poser can rent the runway.

    She looks beyond happy and comfortable in her skin. Naporje, do you.

  64. Weather or not anyone understands your style. Continue doing you because you are extremly different and your style is just that YOUR’s.

  65. She has no style at all!!!!
    furthermore,
    who wants to see someone’s sloppy boobs hanging out … her’s are hanging all over the place in that black and white outfit…….
    she is nasty

  66. I like that her style is HER! What’s for some isn’t always for others, she rocks to the beat of her own drum. I’m happy to see something different other than the typical Forever 21 & H&M trendy outfits! She rocks a little bit of everything, it works for her & she appears to be comfortable in her own skin most importantly! Go Girl, you’re a bombshell in your own right!

  68. art/style/fashion is a form of expression…not perfection. I love that she expresses herself however she feels.. I’m with it.. We need more INDIVIDUALS in this world who aren’t afraid to be themselves. Do You Boo-Boo!!

  70. I love that she’s bold enough to try out her own style and change it up everyday. The overall feel of each outfit seems genuine but not quite effortless. Sometimes (and I have been so guilty of this in the past), if an outfit is extremely inspired by a decade (or whatever) it can come off as a costume. For example, the vintage sequin dress and red hat, old school glasses and fur thing seem super dated.

    Also…you’re beautiful and obviously have a nice body, but that doesn’t mean that you need to show so much skin! Esp, when you take into account the clear stripper-esque heels. The black and black lace dresses are WAY too short! The white sequin and pearl dress is a great length for you (: Anyway, as I said earlier I’m not trying to throw shade you’ve got good style & I will def be checking out your blog.

    SN: Please donate those rainbow peep toe boots to the nearest theatre or landfill. ;)

  71. “Artiste” is better than another “stylist” or…”fashion student.” Interesting pieces that are daringly put together but I agree with Mellie-Rae. The first pic with the gray hat and the black dress with brocade jacket do her the most favors.

  73. @what the hell be careful, claire might come out here and yell at you for stating your opinion lol

  74. @Houston we have a problem, I don’t see your pic on her, Nasty? Please don’t get me started

  75. @what the hell her picture are on here cause she is beautiful where are your pictures???? hmmmmmm don’t hate, always haters in the world.

  77. I am so proud of you my baby girl, I see ppl have some good and negative comments to make and everyone had a right to there opinion, but the fact that you took a big chance and sent in your pictures and they were picked to be on here is amazing to me I love each and every one of them and I love you more, for having such courage and following your dreams.

  78. yass to tht read at the beginning of the article. I think people forget that Bombshell of the Day are just regular people not celebs with a stylist and millions. ” but you can find cute stuff on a budget” true but dang its not that easy especially when you have a different sense of style . Anyways, i think this girl is very pretty and some of her looks are cute and funky

  79. GO PHILLY girl! Love her hair. She looks like an artist and free spirit to me and while I can’t say I co-sign all the looks (boob out black top) it’s good to see an artist instead of a fashion student or “fashion stylist”!
    Can’t wait to check out her blog…

  81. UNIQUE is what she is with her own style and bold
    enough to wear what make her happy and frames her
    personality. She is not only beautiful, but creative and
    innovative. Love all her pictures and proud that she was
    chosen to show off her stuff! As we have all seen every
    one has an opinion.

  82. Hunny being that I am HAZMAT certified the sign on that truck said Radioactive…you should not even be that close to a decal that says anything of the ‘Active’ sort… GURL you going to have EARS growing on your thighs….

    Your pose in the 1st pic looks like you stressed standing like that…breathe baby

  83. Free spirit with funky and original style. It may not be my taste per-say however, you’ve got to love a risk taker. Much love.

  84. Some of you “fashion commentators” have nothing to say about fashion. There is a difference between not appreciating or appreciating a certain style aesthetic vs not knowing anything outside of your own personal style.

    Her style is daring , consistent and it has a vision. Of the many delusional descriptions people post about their style she actually understands her own. If you read her descriptions then look at her pics they are consistent.

    Good job girl on proportions.

  85. I really want to say something positive but um I can’t & really just don’t feel like typing anything. so I’m just go say stop the madness. some outfits I wld say ok not my thing but hey that’s her but overall noooooonoooooooooooooooooooooo ma’ma!!!

  86. She’s beautiful and she’s not afraid to be her own person and conform to what everyone expects you to be…I love her style and her natural beauty. Go NAPORJE!

  90. She’s a lovely girl! something about her says she’s fun to be with…creative and colourful! I voted bombshell, yes it’s not what I would wear but this isn’t about me but different styles rocked by ladies all around the world
    Love and light

  92. According to my 4 year-old this looks bad:(…yeah not feeling it. Something about it rings dirty and cheap (sorry).

  93. Love it on my end! She is a brave person to be so fearless with her style and to be honest, she looks AMAZING doing it. Style is not about gaining approval in my opinion. It’s about being able to clearly communicate who you are and this bombshell does that very well. She is a beautiful artist.

    Stay Fly :)

  95. She gave me life. I like her confidence and quirky nature. She gets an A+ for effort from me.

  96. She’s a cute girl. I liked many of her pieces and there was an element to each outfit I liked. I just don’t feel most of the pieces go together.

  97. I’m going to start off by saying she’s gorgeous. Also, you can see that she has a bubbly, fun personality in all of these photos. I love that. Most of the clothes I appreciate for being eclectic and fun. Still, I think that the black lace dress and green jacket are just too tight. It isn’t flattering at all. I hate the stripper shoes also. I think she should watch the fit of clothes and shoes, but definitely keep her style. It may not be my cup of tea, but I like looking at much of it, and that’s what fashion is about.

  98. she looks sooo cute and love the outfits, glad to see someone who is true to themselves, and not worry about what others think, She seems to have alot of confidence and loving herself and not trying to keep up with the jones. She is a leader not a follower. Good for you!

  100. I thought it was corny. I can appreciate different aesthetics than my own but hers isn’t cohesive enough & it makes her style seem a bit schizo. One day she’s sexy lexi & the next she’s dressed like grandma Gertrude. This makes me feel that her style is a bit forced & not truly organic it does seem like ur in character & have on a costume. She seens fun but I wasn’t really impressed with the overall quality of her outfits, the proportions & how certain. colors were combined.

  101. She’s a modern day Sinclair (living single) & Freddie Brooks (A different world)…Im in love with it!

  103. Of course these pictures are taken on differents days…they could have even been taken different months…who knows, duuuuhhhh. Forced???? omg Anyway, I liked the fact that she is creative and has her own style instead of following other people styles,Good for her.

  106. I think every outfit she has an item that makes you go “what the h@ll” and that is what she means to do. Almost every outfit I went that would be nice if… (insert adjustment). Pretty girl, I don’t see a particular style or care for style. Just a girl who wears pieces she likes in no particular order and that is fine. Go Naporje for doing what you want how you want to do it.
