Fashion is constantly evolving; new trends and accessories are introduced with an influx of creatives in the space. Bold and Bourgeois fashion sets you apart.

Are you familiar with the wording; “B without BB is like a train without an engine?" 

They are the lyrics of a song from a Blue Band commercial that goes way back. This is what it meant;

“B(Bread) without BB(Blue Band) is like a train without an engine (Pointless/inconceivable)."

Bold words, right? Yet not far from the truth.

For this article, let us do a little bit of improvisation, shall we? Let us have ‘Baddie’ or 'Bold' for ‘B’ and ‘Bourgeois-blend’ for ‘BB’. You know what that means? If you have to be bold or be a baddie, you have to look the part.

You cannot be afraid to break some rules and defy the norms. If someone made the rules, then who's to say that you cannot make yours? Or at the very least, switch it up a notch!

Stereotypes are boring, like wearing bland sweatshirts all winter and a crop top when the sun's out! Wear your sweatshirts all you want yet wear them so well that everyone goes into a ‘sweatshirt frenzy.’

Fashion is art, after all, a non-verbal expression of one's true self. 

There's so much you're leaving tucked under that voluminous tracksuit.

This, therefore, begs the ultimate question: 

"What bold fashion items can I add to my wardrobe that will dazzle the crowd and put me in the spotlight when paired with the right accessories?"

This is not a comprehensive list and will likely be continued in future publications. In the meantime, consider adding these to your shopping cart-

Fur Coats

If you have seen red carpet shows or fashion events like the Met Gala, then this statement piece will resonate even in your subconscious. Fur coats are not just timeless, from the era of the fashion goddess Naomi Campbell, but equally exude luxury and sophistication.

They go from plain to patterned, short to long, and even dramatic trains. There are tons of these available for purchase on the site. And as you already know, for each item you purchase, you're entitled to a Cashback reward

Here's what a Long Fur coat looks like. You can pair this with a tank top and a pair of Denim pants. These equally look fabulous topping off a mini straight gown or a Sheer dress.

Crepe Jackets: 

These give you the appearance of a rich C.E.O., especially the ones with unique or exaggerated sleeves.

If you've seen a lot of K-dramas and are familiar with Paris fashion, then you would understand why this is a must-have.

It is quite versatile and can be styled with either a loose fitting or tight pants (Jeans or formal ones). A pair of Stilettos finishes it off just nicely.

Check out this high-end Dark Champagne Crepe Jacket with incredible sleeves.

A sleeveless Jumpsuit:

Why sleeveless? One would ask. Sleeveless jumpsuits never go out of fashion, just like sleeveless dresses. They give you the option of alternating between wearing it just the way it is with this nice pair of Dangle drop earrings and Cupid Arrow charm necklace to complete the look.

During the winter season, you can equally pair it with a chic leather jacket. Check out this Sapphire sea sleeveless jumpsuit with a stylish belt on the site.

Short dresses:

You could never go wrong in a short bodycon or loose-fitting dress like this Mini pleated shift dress, especially for casual outings and date nights with your man. 

They outline your body's best features most definitively and guarantee you just the right amount of ‘sexy’, so you don't feel like a boring old grandma at 35.

This Red Carlina Slip Chemise dress is equally nothing short of a stunner! Pair it with bright red lipstick and a pair of Black Sam Edelman Daniella Block Heel Sandals, and you're good to go on your way! 

Mini Cargo skirts: 

No doubt you're quite familiar with Cargo pants which are popular for their versatility and ‘easy breezy’ feel. Mini cargo skirts, however, are a hotter and bolder choice, even for ‘sweatshirt’ looks.

Pair this Beige Mini Cargo skirt with a white shirt, striped sweatshirt, a pair of boots, and a good old Bicycle seat cap.

Scarfs:

These are the last and certainly not the least on the list. And just like every other product on the site, you get to earn Cashbacks/Cash rewards when you purchase this luxury and well-knit Jacquard scarf

They mostly serve for the winter and add to your aesthetics and overall outlook. They are must-haves for a BB queen; Bad and Bourgeois.
