Today’s Fashion Bombshell is Shakaila from London:
She writes, “I would define my style as ‘go hard with your accessories or go home’.”
“They don’t always have to be oversized or colorful but they should be interesting enough to add another dimension to your outfit.”
“Similarly, psychological studies have shown a strong link between adornment and attractiveness so that’s always a plus in my book!”

Shakaila, I love your London style! Your red ensemble is a show stopper, girl!

Happy Friday! As I’m sure many of you have plans for the weekend, including date night with your boo, today’s what to wear request is quite fitting.
Jahmelia writes, ” Hi Danielle. I would like to request what to wear on a first date. I’m a young, black, professional woman and I haven’t been on a date in 4 years. As I start to venture back onto the dating scene, I would like to be prepared with some cute outfit options. Please help!”
First dates are usually fairly casual unless your date wants to go all out. So I’ve curated a few casual-chic looks to give you some ideas on how to keep it cute with a splash of sexy on date night.
Rock a black long sleeve, lace-up bodysuit with a pair of suede high-waist leggings.
Complete the look with a faux fur-trimmed vest, contrast ankle-strap blade heel pump, black monogram handbag, and sparkling silver jewelry.
Pair distressed skinny jeans with a gold cross-draped satin blouse.
Pull the look together with a cream faux fur fallaway coat, a pair of Saint Laurent Tribute sandals in a mocha hue and a matching handbag.
Opt for winter white hues with an ivory bodysuit paired with skinny jeans and a textured waterfall coat.
Add the finishing touch with a brown leather tote, snakeskin boots, and a wide-brim fedora.
Lastly, keep it cute and casual in a pair of black leather pants and a distressed denim shirt.
Dress up the look with a fur-trimmed biker jacket, an ankle-wrap strappy sandal, and a large monogram shoulder bag.
And that’s it! What do you think of these casual chic date night looks? Which look would you rock on a first date?
The lovely Tracee Ellis Ross attended the Stylemaker Awards in a Chalayan Fall 2016 Ready to Wear Red Sequin Jumpsuit:

Tracee’s style is very refreshing! She has a thing for bold colors and patterns that works for her. I’m a fan of this!

Today’s Fashion Bombshell is Tsholo from Botswana:
She writes, “I learned that everything is a self-portrait, even fashion.”
“I’ve come to realize and accept the fact that I am color. I am print vomit.“
“I am clashing personalities, a quirky sense of fashion and humor.“
“I am an exaggeration in my fashion choices and I will continue to dress my world. One hue at a time, two prints a day, with or without a nod from the world.“

Tsholo, I love how vibrant your style is, you’re definitely a show stopper!
