We asked one of our favorite people on IG (and beyond) Sade A. Spence to style the Boss Lady Suit that was newly released at Blue Labels Boutique. Here is how she styled the two piece blazer and skort set.
Special thanks to Sade for joining us in the celebration in the return of the skort! Let me know your thoughts in the comments…

Last week, I received an email asking, “How do you know when something is going to be a trend?” & “What will be this Summers’ trends?” Two-part question…love it!
My reply to the first part of the question was, “I know a style is going to be a trend when you can’t wear all of the time…period. For instance, in the 90s when the MC Hammer inspired saggy crotch pants came out, everyone was wearing them! I wanted them so bad. My mom made a pair for me because we couldn’t afford to buy them in the store. But even then, I knew that they wouldn’t last long. They were a definite trend….Thank God! But something like a lace dresses is completely different. You can wear it to an office party, wedding, or girls night at the club 5 years from now and be stylish as hell. When it’s a trend, you just know that it won’t be around long.
Summer is T minus 30 days away, so I figured I had to share my answer to the second question. So, if you consider yourself to be a “fashion person” relax and take note. Here are 6 pieces you should be rocking this Summer…
2. The PJ Inspiration – Pajama or loungewear inspired looks will make perfect OOTDs. Make sure they are still suitable to wear outside, so leave the boxers at home. Look for details like piping, covered buttons and pieces made of satin material.
3. Denim Dress – The denim dress is forever classic but the update on this one is perfect for the Summer. Frayed sleeves & trumpet hem…need I say more?
4. A kimono – This is definitely not a new style. The kimono will give you endless style options from formfitting dresses underneath to a tee with denim cutoffs.
5. Something Blue – Royal blue to be exact. It will be the bold color to rock this Summer!
6. Cutouts – Cutouts aren’t going anywhere. Thank goodness. ☺️
Thanks to the bombshell who reached out with her question. Which style is your favorite?

What would you do for your love of fashion?!
Journalist, Sade A. Spence answered that question after we asked her to style the Victoria Daisy dress.
Sade is in Brooklyn, NY and let’s just say they aren’t exactly basking in the sun at the moment. But I was so excited to learn that the fearless fashionista didn’t let the frigid temps stop her. Sade rocked it in the dress, proving not only that she is willing to freeze for fashion. But she also proves just how sexy you can be in 40 degree weather. Take a look…
You can see more of Sade on her blog and keep up with her on IG @sadeaspence.
What’s something crazy you have done for fashion?

EVERYTHING seems to change when Fall arrives. Once green leaves are now shades of orange and brown. Grass has transformed from fluffy to yucky. The sun doesn’t even come out like it used to. Change is good so I welcome it with open arms. But have you ever considered how Fall not only changes whats’ going on outside but inside, too? Well, for your closet at least. That’s because it forces us to trade our denim cutoffs and tanks for leather pants, faux fur jackets, and suede skirts. Luxurious fabrics, thigh high boots, cable knit sweaters….now, this is the most wonderful time of the year!
Flares is one of my favorite silhouettes and has been before it started trending as of late. Maybe its the 70s baby in me?! So, the thought of suede flares just sends my fashion fantasy to another level! And I’m not the only one. Lucky for us, Sade A. Spence fell in love with our Don’t Rust Me Flares and on expressed her love on her self-titled blog. Sade is a NY-based TV Host & Producer. As well as a journalist for style, music, tech, film and tv. She took time out of her busy schedule to show off her outfit ideas for the flares.
Dear Fall,
Welcome back! We are so happy to have you. We had a good time with Spring and Summer but we thought about you the entire time. 😏
Love Always,
Fashion Not Fear
Stay Fearless 💋
Happy Monday! Hopefully, your week is off to a great start! But if you need a pick me up, remember; “The best thing you can do is get good at being YOU”
Now on to the rewind! Check out the best and worse of what we shared on the @bluelabelsboutique IG feed last week, in no particular order.
HUE Mural Festival Houston
On Saturday, BLB hit the road and went to Houston to set up a pop up shop at the Houston Mural Festival. And let me tell you, if it could go wrong…it did! Our brand new canopy was missing pieces, only 1 of 3 clothing racks wanted to work, our folding table wouldn’t fit in the car, and did I mention that it was 90 degrees outside? Nevertheless, we set up shop with 1 rack and turned a clothing box into a table. We took turns holding the Blue Labels Boutique banner since we no longer had a table to hang it from. Plus, it was good for blocking out the sun. 😓 Through all of this, the show must go on. We had a great time at the event. Thanks to everyone who came out to shop with us!
Omaha Show Cancellation
Last week, I was excited to announce that BLB was scheduled to have a runway show at the Mid-America Center in Council Bluffs, IA on October 22nd. Unfortunately, I received notification on the day that we were about to hit the road (Thursday) that the show had been cancelled. Initially, I was so disappointed because months of planning and strategizing seemed to have gone to waste. But that feeling quickly went away, we have to keep it moving!
BLB was featured on Economy Of Style
