  • Sport your own style

    Dnieka Hartsfield|Updated Jan 15, 2017

    A fashion faux pas of my eccentrically-styled past was mixing sportswear with my day and night outfits. Namely, my favorite sports piece was track pants and I loved to pair them with wedges for the daytime.

I remember this look like it was yesterday because it was one of my favorite looks I...

    DNieka Hartsfield|Updated Nov 22, 2016

    I enjoy the art of actually managing to wear every single item in my closet on a regular basis. Figuring out how to re-purpose an item that was initially meant to be worn only once on special occasion is key.

The same goes for those after hour outfits that we wish we could wear during the day. Well, there are always a few...
