The Imani

Here she is ya’ll, Imani Golden, one of the most beautiful 18 years olds I have ever known. She loves the Lord. She is kind and witty, stunningly beautiful (just scroll through), musically talented, and an incredible friend and sister!

For about a year, Imani has mentioned that she wanted me to take her shopping. Finally the stars aligned- meaning our schedules and budgets – and it happened, the long awaited shopping trip! She was so awesome to be with. Not only did I have a ton of fun with her, but she brought me into stores that I have not been to in years!

First stop, H&M. I usually start clients in here because you can get a bulk of good, inexpensive basic/trendy pieces. Everything this girl tried on she looked good in.

Imani did not end up purchasing this sweater because there were so many other things she liked, however, olive is a perfect color for this girl.

This white blazer (on sale at H&M now) is such a versatile piece to add to a wardrobe and will transition all year round. Throw a fun graphic tee on underneath, like she did. This is one of my all-time favorite looks!

This dress was on sale and quite a steal! Perfect with tights and all black or as is with a nude heel for wedding season coming soon.

I would recommend some basics incorporated into every wardrobe. I’m not going to lie; Imani did an excited little run in place motion when she saw the pink! It was way too cute for her not to get. These pieces are perfect for layering or wearing alone.

Imani left with two coats; one beautiful camel colored suede biker jacket (featured on my insta story) and the dusty pink bomber pictured above. Best part is this jacket was about $30 at Forever21.

Look at this beauty queen! Here she is wearing an oversized gray sweater from H&M and jewelry from American Eagle.
