You can’t spell FASHION without VERSATILITY. I mean, you can but you shouldn’t. If you can only wear something one way, what’s the point?
Who wouldnt want to make the most of a ‘fit?! Here are 7 ways I’ve styled this simple top.

Remember the game, Telephone? One person tells someone a story, then it is passed on to the next person. By the time it gets to the last person, the story has completely changed. It is kind of like that with fashion. A stylist says something about fashion or makes some “style rule” and before you know it, everyone has adopted it like its true tea. Truth is…there are no rules in fashion. You make your own. But that doesn’t stop the fashion b.s. from running rampant. Thank God you have FNF to help you to decipher the goodies from the phony.
Here are 10 bullshit fashion “rules that are completely untrue.
You can’t wear white after Labor Day. After, before, on Labor Day…it doesn’t matter. I’m not sure where this rumor got started but there is no fashion faux pas in wearing white after Labor Day.
2. Maxi dresses & skirts are for tall women only. That certainly isn’t true! It is important to make sure that it isn’t too big where it looks like you’re being swallowed up. So something slim-fitting or adjustable in the back is a small detail to compliment your silhouette. But anyone can wear it. I’m under 5ft tall and ummmm. 🤷🏽♀️
3. Socks are for tennis shoes only. Socks actually stylish with high heels and other shoes. Not just gym time.

4. Sheer is for night and evenings. Not true! Rock sheer whenever the mood hits you. Day or night!
5. Your shoes have to match your bag. Your bag actually doesn’t have to match anything. Carry what you like with whatever shoes you’re feeling at the time.
6. Certain colors are in or out of style. Just because Pantone picks their color of the year or you see alot of one color on the runway doesn’t mean the other colors are out of style.
7. Your closet has to be one style…boho, classic, grunge. Your closet should be full of all of those styles and more. Most people dress how they feel that day not because they have to always go with a certain style. Experiment away!
8. Beauty is pain. It shouldn’t be, That overtly tight dress, or shoes that are a size too small is worth the pain. Plus, clothes that fit properly look better on you.
9. Clothes have to be expensive to be “nice” or good quality. Pricey or brand name pieces doesn’t mean the item is in style or that it gonna hold up for a long time. What matters is the fabric used is sturdy, good stitching, strong zippers, etc.
10. You cant mix bright colors. Feel free to go color crazy!
There are so many “fashion rules” to be debunked but we would be here all day if all of them are addressed, Hope these help you to make fashion; fun and fearless! Remember, you make your own rules!

Some Fashion Not Fear pieces come from a sketched idea. But do they ever come out looking like what was sketched?? I will let you be the judge of that. Take a look at some of the sketches dropped before the item was made…
Sooooo, do they look like their sketch or nawl?! Which are your favorites from the collection?? Let me know in the comments…

As you know, I make it my business (cause it is my business) to source unique pieces to be sold at Blue Labels Boutique. So, when I ran across these earrings I fell in love!
As soon as I laid my eyes on them…love and lockup popped into my head. I’d like to think it is because they have a heart and another part of it has something that looks like a lock.
(The Texas sun made my face orange and gave me a serious frown 😩)
Or maybe its because I’d recently watched the reality tv show. Either way, they aren’t named the Love and Lockup Earrings. They are actually named The Heart On A String Earrings.
Feast your eyes on these beauties…
One side goes into the ear with a hoop. The other has a post and pin closure. They are truly unique!
Nowadays, it’s essential that we keep our masks and sanitizer on deck when leaving the house.
To be honest, I never really go out. I let my husband do all of the store runs while the baby and I wait for him in the car. But when I absolutely must go out not only do I want to be stylish but I also want to make sure that I have my PPE on hand. Rummaging through my purse to find these essentials is not my ideal way of being prepared.
Here is a stylish way to keep your mask and sanitizer on you.
The Hands Off Belt is the perfect accessory! It keeps you hands free while still being safe. Put your sanitizer, mask, and a couple of dollars in there or your credit card. You’re good to go!
A new piece from Fashion Not Fear is currently in the making. And you know what that means?? Your stay at home looks just got more stylish! Here is a rough sketch on the upcoming dressed to be released in a few days.
From its bold color to the high low hem and detailed sleeves…The Unabashed Dress will be a piece you want in your color.
Stay tuned to see for its release coming up! Thoughts on the sketch? Drop them in the comments…
Ear accessories are my favorite piece about styling . In my opinion, it’s the single, most important accessory you can add to an outfit. Even more important than shoes! Earrings frame the face and put your best and most prominent feature on full display. Which is why I love our latest addition to earrings available in the boutique.
The Bolt Earrings are now available at Blue Labels Boutique and they are striking. 😉
The mix of gold and pearls in the shape of a lightening bolt makes them the perfect mix of classic and trendy.
Pair them with anything from your favorite dress to your favorite tee and jeans to turn your look up a notch.
As you know, all styles are limited so get yours while you still can.
