MY SEPTEMBER ISSUE: WHILE YALL WERE SLEEPING ON MY SEQUINS PART 2

So have you all ever read the old childrens magazine-HIGHLIGHTS and in the back of the book it has a game- "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?"...well I want to ask you the same thing but also answer the question at the same time

Q: "WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE PICTURES???"

 

 

 A: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Ok so of course we are vastly approaching the major month of fashion which is duh....SEPTEMBER...for all of my true fashionistas...and the September issues of all the major magazines will be thick and full from cover to cover of couture and ready to wear fashions for all of us to either faint over or forget about....yeah let's be real-sometimes fashion can be a bit ummm FAKE and FRIVOLOUS

but nonetheless I fear the day when its fate is forever gone....anyhow as usual I digress...ok back to my point....so as I glanced over the many magazines I noticed one significant trend 

SEQUINS...damnit...SEQUINS...that is it and that is all-and the four women representing these variety of magazines further prove that you can rock this trend in several ways regardless of your shape, color or size...its all about proper EXECUTION ...I've made my point...and in the words of TIM GUNN...carry on
