Bye, Bye "What Not To Wear"



I saw this picture on Facebook and thought, "Why is Ashley wearing sandals in the winter?" However, I couldn't help but "LIKE" her photo because she was fierce and beautiful at the Beyoncé concert in December in St. Louis, Missouri, where there was snow and cold temperatures. Ashley is never scared and I have yet to see her make a fashion mistake. So, was Ashley going against an universal fashion no-no or am I OLD and too conservative with my fashion rules. I'm going with the latter.

Ashley is definitely my muse for this post and Essence Magazine certainly agrees with her. Winter, sminter...In the January 2014 issue of Essence Magazine in the Style section, There are features on street style and what celebrities and local women in various areas are wearing and what do you know??? Winter weather beauties in SANDALS and sweats and leather much like my girl, Ash! I am sorry to inform those of us raised in the generations of storing away your sandals in the winter months and not wearing white bottoms after labor day but those days are loooong gone people. Throw out your fashion rule book and in the words of Russell Simmons, "Do You" boo!
