Five Things I Love About Solange Knowles' Style

1. Solange is the queen of mixing it up.  When I think about someone who mixes prints and patterns well Solange easily comes to mind. She's the  queen of putting together the most unlikely pieces into a fashionable masterpiece. Mixing prints can be tricky, it takes skill, a good eye and a daring streak to not only pair the right pieces but to wear them with confidence.

2. She's retro glam! Solange wears vintage-inspired and vintage clothing very well. She adds her own unique flair to vintage aesthetics in a way that makes them chic, wearable, and glam. I love her interpretation of vintage.

3. Solange is a sartorial risk-taker. Solange is in a style league of her own.  Because she takes risk, kicks the rules to the curb, and follow her own style bliss, her style is inimitable. She has skillfully crafted her own unique style aesthetic by taking risks.

4. Solange has a mean shoe game. Solange's shoes always take her outfits to the next level. I want  her shoe collection.

5. Her style is Sassy and Classy.  Solange knows how to strike the balance between sexy and classy. It's not always an easy balance to strike, but she does it very well.

Personal Style: Pink Cropped Pants

Express Leopard Print Top: Similar HERE


Cropped pants are a top trend for this Spring/Summer.  It took some convincing to get me to buy into this trend, because I wasn't a fan of the cropped look. Nevertheless, I've found a few great pairs, and now I can't stop wearing them. I like them in bright stand-out colors like the pink ones I'm wearing in this look.
