So it seems some of you may have been bored by this week’s Bombshells–hopefully Tanisha from Florida can energize your chic senses:
She says, “My personal style is: if I like it, I wear it, trend or vintage.”
” I like to have a relaxed, not too fussy vibe about my style.”
” My weaknesses are sequins and leopard.”
” I learned that every single day is a chance to re-invent yourself.”
“So have fun!”
Ah, Tanisha, I have a leopard weakness as well. Some looks are a bit overaccesorized, but overall you have a distinctive style that’s far from boring.

“… with sprinkles of COLOR from a spring palette that highlights my skin tone.”
” While I still hang on to my LBD’s…”
” I’ve learned to not be afraid of color!”
Alright! Conservative chic is a great description of your look. The mustard sweater and maroon jeans are the business! Cute!

She says, “I’m an avid reader of your blog and I feel like being featured as the Fashion Bombshell of the Day would be an amazing opportunity! It would probably make my whole week lol! “
“My style is very classic and chic.”
” It’s also mood-based.”
” Sometimes, I feel extra feminine, and I let my attire reflect that with a dress or skirt, and sometimes I feel really edgy and I’ll add a leather jacket and some attention-grabbing booties to spice up my look.”
” I love to take trends and add my classic spin on them.”
“Thanks in advance for even providing the opportunity for me to be considered!”
No problem! What do y’all think of Rene’s style?

Happy Monday, Bombshells!
This past Saturday I participated on a panel on entrepreneurship sponsored by HelloBeautiful.com.
The day long workshop featured talks on negotiating, networking, dressing in a corporate environment, and also how to strike out on your own and create your own business. Since the day underscored the power of women in the workplace, I decided to pull on what I deem a ‘strong woman’ uniform: a Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress.
Lord knows I love an animal print (I’m positively addicted), so chose a vintage inspired piece with a leopard motif. Since the dress was somewhat subdued in black, gray, and, white, I added pops of color with a pair of Steve Madden purple Staciee slingbacks, YSL lipstick in Pourpre Divin (obsessed), and a fun little neon Push Lock Across Body Bag from ASOS.
I obviously wasn’t taking notes, but here are a few takeaway points I can remember. From Ginger & Liz: “No” means “not right now.” Don’t be discouraged when people don’t give you what you want immediately. Revise your pitch, and try again. From Bevy Smith: It’s never too late to embark on a new career. Bevy left a lucrative job at age 38 to start her Dinners with Bevy entreprise. From Blake Scotland: When starting out, invest in the highest quality you can afford. It’s ok to cut corners sometimes, but if you need the best, invest.
From Simone Smalls: Fake it until you make it, but back up your word with good work and outstanding results. When Simone first started she was competing with huge firms, and sometimes had to fake having an account billing department, human resources department, and more in phone conversations to give off the appearance her company was much larger than it was. Even though she had to fake it a little, she still produced big company results. From Winsome Sinclair: Protect your brand. At every step, ask yourself, “Is this good for the brand?” If it’s not, don’t do it! From me: Freelance, intern, or work a part time job to sustain yourself until you get to where you want to go. Before the Fashion Bomb was its own entity, I freelanced for various print and online publications, taught English, did translations, and more to make ends meet.
It was a long, but enlightening day, and I learned a lot.
For those of you who came, hope you enjoyed!
We’ll be having many more events. Stay tuned to the blog for the 411.
Smootches!
*Diane von Furstenberg on wrap dresses ca 1976, “Simple, one-stop dressing. Chic, comfortable, and sexy. It won’t become dated after one season. It works around the clock, travels across the world, and fits all a woman’s priorities.”
Hey!
We’re ending this week with the fab Finichia from Salt Lake City, Utah:
She says, “I am representing for the curvy girl population and love vintage and timeless pieces.”

Bomb reader Cecelia nominated her friend Nelson from Detroit to be our Fashion Bomber of the Day:
She says, “Nelson is stylish from head to toe!”

” His dress absolutely mimics his personality.”
