When the sun is out and the weather is just right, in the “Land of Golden Sunshine,” you’re bound to find students strutting the campus of Tennessee State University. Fancy is a word that can describe the swag and Ja’Mecia Mone’.
“…There is nothing wrong with having a few trendy pieces in your closet.”
— Ja’Mecia Mone
“Fancy” Bailey is the example of stylish for this week. Bailey’s nickname Fancy can be heard yelled throughout the campus and in return, she turns with a smile. Bailey is a Mass Communications major with a concentration in Leadership Performance hailing from the same city as her Illustrious University, Nashville, Tennessee.
“Classic never trendy,” are the words of Bailey. Not a trend based type of young lady; Baily asks the question, “When a trend dies who are you?” She adores dresses, blazers, blouses, and solid T-Shirts when it comes to dressing down. Bailey does think trendy pieces are nice to have but limits them. “Now, don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with having a few trendy pieces in your closet. However, don’t let that be ALL you have in wardrobe,” Bailey said.
You will not catch Bailey involved in campus organizations because her soul leads her to make a difference in her community through her voice and media skills. Being a motivational speaker for young ladies, she crafts her motivation into comedic but serious & focused topics geared toward feeling good about self, knowing who you are, and most important in her perspective knowing Jesus more than knowing self. With those concepts, Bailey stresses the fact that God can mold you into the woman he wants you to be.
Here are some Do’s and Don’ts that Ms. Fancy goes by when it comes to clothing that she would like to share:
- DO always look nice for no reason.
- DO buy clothing that is versatile. You could dress it up or dress it down.
- DO make sure to add your personal stamp to your trendy pieces.
- DO mix and match your clothes! You have more options than you think. You’ll find yourself never repeating an outfit and saving money.
- DON’T just dress up because you have extra hair in your head! Your weave is not the boss of you! Weave or no weave, still be your cute self!
- DON’T “leggings are not fashion, it’s an excuse” – Timothy Snell. The End.
- DON’T be afraid to step out of your comfort zone, you may start a trend.
- DON’T be dull with professional attire. Yes, it is VERY possible to look professional and be glamorous!
