My dear friend Toshay, of In My Pefect World blog, is definitely a fashionista.

Toshay was recently inspired by R&B singer Solange, to rock long braids. Her braids along with vintage top make for an amazing photo.

 

Make-up is flawless, the lipstick color  is bold, polka dotted tights,sparkly pumps and a fierce pose.
