Fashion & Style: Jennifer
Introduce yourself!
Hi, my name is Jennifer. I go by Furbananas on the
web which is a conjunction of my name and an adjective I use to describe
myself. Fur, being short for Jennifer and Bananas because I have a very vibrant
and bubbly personality. I'm from New Orleans originally but grew up in Atlanta,
which is my home. I currently live in D.C. and work in retail management.
How would you
describe your sense of style?
At the moment I'm going through a "I don't know
how I want to dress" phase. I feel like the best style is having one
that's unique and all your own that you can be identified as and I'm still
figuring that out at the moment. As for now I would describe my style as tomboy
chic. As much as I love looking girly in bright colors and skirts, you can
usually catch my on boyfriend jeans or over-sized shirts paired with high heels.
Where do you get your
inspiration for each look?
Fashion bloggers such as Karla from "Karla's
Closet" and Solange Knowles, my style icon. Also, the weather and my mood
plays a big factor in each look I put together.
What’s your ‘Go-To’
outfit for when you need to get ready in a hurry?
Boyfriend
jeans and a T-shirt. Never fails me.
What are the three favorite things in your closet?
Of course my boyfriend jeans, a men's jean jacket
from H&M and one of the many pencil skirts own. Simple things because a
good wardrobe is based or should be built around the basic essentials.
What are some of your
favorite shops or websites for clothes, shoes and accessories?
Some favorites are Asos.com, Urbanog.com for cute inexpensive shoes, and Zara.com.
What fashion or styling tips would you give to someone who wants to improve their sense of style?
As I stated before, it's best to build your wardrobe
starting with the basic essentials. A pair of good jeans, good cotton t-shirts,
a great pair of trousers, a pump or sandal heel, and a good fitting pencil
skirt. You'll see with those basics it'll become especially easy to start
putting great looks together. From there you can start to add specific pieces
that make the looks YOU.
Is there a blog/webpage or Youtube channel where we can find you?
I have a blog: furbananas.blogspot.com,
an Instagram: instagram.com/furbananas and a YouTube page
but I hardly make post anymore: youtube.com/fashionablyjenn
