Those who do not know me. I have always been into fashion. I started Black and Olive when I was in college. I went to The Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. I decided to follow my heart after changing my major in Nassau Community College at the time I was attending; I had already completed a year and half of the medical program (I don't even remember the name of the program lol) when I decided that this wasn't me. I changed my major, did an extra year and completed the program and applied to FIT. I was influenced by other fashion and art blogs, this was before IG; blogs were very popular then and it was where most of us fashion students got their outfit inspirations from. It was a great time...
I find it very difficult for me to post all looks on IG simply because I really don't consider my feed a fashion account. Though fashion is my first love, I didn't want to just over saturate my feed with me in clothes when most of my followers aren't really there for that (or maybe they are, I don't really know). I didn't want to have to change my aesthetic as well just because companies are willing to send me things. I am trying to stay consistent with my blog but of course life gets in the way. I realize that I just have to take my time and do things when I can, and though I am moderately consistent with IG, I still would like to do more, because I believe I am worthy of that. So I decided to just utilize by blog for photos that don't make it to IG. Some intimate with my family, some fashion, and everything in between.
Looks for Michael Stars
Look 2
This look is one my favorites, very casual chic and a fun way to use your oversized button downs
Hat from Pacsun
Look 3
Which is one of my favorite. It reminds me of that goth period I went through in my teenage years. That goth black girl is still under there, and she's so excited to see chunky boots are back in style.
Boots are from Zara
