the vintage overall dress

what Jobabyy's wearing: (overall dress VINTAGE, bag VINTAGE GUCCI, sunnies ZARA) 

Here I made a collage of my outfit finding similar items on Polyvore to recreate the magic. Take a mixed media denim and chiffon overall dress and contrast the girly vibes with black grunge inspired heeled boots from Solestruck. Keep the grunge alive with an olive green crop top. The shorter length of the top balances out the maxi overall dress. These sunglasses from The Row and the Vintage Gucci purse are #Jobabyystyle signature style pieces! Try not to feel defeated when recreating outfits you are inspired by with what you see on the street, blogs and even magazines chances are you have similar key pieces in your own closet. Be you and feel confident by taking your inspiration and incorporate your personal style!

the crop top

 I love me a contrasting outfit; pairing an extreme cropped D.I.Y sweater with a ankle grazing floral skirt makes for a great summer to fall transitional outfit. I wore my boots that had a higher heel to give me height and to avoid the me from looking shorter. #SHEDGAF what they say about crop tops being a trendy piece! Below are 4 fun ways to style the crop top! You don't have to show full belly to get the crop top party started because LORD knows the world ain't ready for my jelly!

You never failed me when all the rest made me feel ugly you were there to make me feel brand new. Throughout the years you always offered me a variety of choices. I had options and I didn't have to settle on just the basic because you wanted me to shine. I could be whoever I wanted to be with you. I never doubted you even when my body changed you changed with me. You allowed me to mold you into your full potential. Together we were unstoppable. We were able to accomplish and tackle the day. You made me feel at my best. You were there to comfort me no matter what mood I was in, never turning me away but showing me the powerful ways of individuality. I put my trust in you that you would never leave my side. I will be forever grateful for you oh denim jeans. 

#tbt one skirt 3 ways

(skirt THRIFT STORE)

#tbt to 2009 the time I took one printed skirt and transformed it into 3 different outfits. To the naked eye yes it is just a skirt but to Jobabyy she sees the opportunity to make use of one article of clothing . I love transforming pieces and taking it to the next level.  Six years ago I had this blog Fashion By Jo where I documented my sartorial adventures and I dug this up from old files; still very relevant if I do say so myself.

Outfit one: Since the skirt was a wrap skirt with a tie belt why not tube top dress it up!?! I added studded Zara heels to make the dress date night appropriate.

Outfit two: I kept the skirt as a dress but hiked it up with a waist belt added a light wash denim vest and the outfit became a casual day dress for brunch!

Outfit three: A skirt it was so a skirt it shall be! I threw on a crochet white crop top and cardigan and paired it with sandals to keep it simple. Perfect for a chill movie night out with the girls.

If I can bejewel any part of my body so be it! I have had a recent addiction to bindis therefore leading me to scouring Pinterest of Indian wedding ceremonies. The gorgeous fabrics and jewelery had me drooling all over my keyboard; swear I was foaming at the mouth with the stacking of accessories #Jobabyyheaven. Another thing I have been all about is baggy boyfriend denim. Is acid wash out of style? #SHEDGAF she wears out of style trends!
