    3. Even if it were allowed in fashion,are you blind to see how ugly hers look?

  3. Fashion is dynamic. There's no right or wrong it all boils down to one's creativity. Personally i think its allowed but that's just my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Its very much allowed Linda! You have to color block. Its the in thing. Your stuff doesnt have to match linda!! She looks really nice. We even do it here in Nigeria, with the OLEKU iro and buba.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  23. Linda, 2012 has become a yr for rule breakers in fashion.... Colour blocking became more popular.... So has print on print... U jus have to keep their dimensions different.
    Go with the flow girl!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Linda, you are fast o! I actually like this outfit and how she mixed different prints. It's actually one of my favorite looks from this week. Wish she had styled her hair diferently.

    ReplyDelete
  32. This is called FASHION BLUNDER. Na becos na celebrity wear am. If na people like me, they will say i don dey craze.

    ReplyDelete
  33. She's maturing and getting pretty. Nice, at least we know what beyonces hair really looks like.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Linda pls, people yab you when the whole thing does not come together. Trust me, sometimes your whole package looks differently than you thought in your head. Solange has always had a fashion forward style so this kinda works on her. but ladies, do not try this at home...yet!

    Let's try something new. www.ahdaizy.wordpress.com http://wp.me/p2f9On-bW

    ReplyDelete
  35. Only Solange can pull off this look..... She is jst eccentric like dat.. Love her

    ReplyDelete
  36. Mma Linda, absolutely nothing wrong with the combo. Her shoes are the only fashion no no. We are mixing different colors of Ankara to make one outfit so I don't see anything wrong with this. She's played with patterns in a different way

    ReplyDelete
  37. Well with the color blocking trend in vogue me tinks its allowed but it doesn't look good to me. Linda post ♍γ̲̣̣̥ comment O°˚˚˚ .

    ReplyDelete
  38. Linda the truth is dat dere are no clear cut rules to fashion.its all about expressing urself.anything can be worn in the name of fashion provided the ryt attitude to carry the look is there.I actually like her look.damdiva

    ReplyDelete
  39. Saw this pix yesterday,don't think there's anything wrong with the combo tho.plus her face looks kinda different here

    ReplyDelete
  40. Sometimes its okay and there's a way u rock it . I think ppl with natural full hair can rock it well tho. Not really for u Linda cause na so so weave and that sometimes gets in d way with unique fashion style .

    ReplyDelete
  41. That's cos you are Linda, and she's Solange. How many people you don hear wey dey bear Solange? And besides, Nigerians are soooo concerned bout Lind nd wat she wears.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Cos u are nigerian #(˘̯˘ )( ˘˘̯)# disappears

    ReplyDelete
  43. Unfortunately yes! This is one of the fashion trends especially in Hollywood. Prints on a different pattern. Polka dots on stripes and some other prints and patterns combo. Trending or not, It aint working for me.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Linda! OMG!!!

    This is really in right now. A few years ago, hell no! But that's fashion for you. Ever changing, ever revolving!

    Kapiche!

    ReplyDelete

  54. Anythng is fine my dear sista. The fact that it comes out nice n good then its allowed cos there's what they call vintage.... Bless!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Linda you are so far behind with what's in fashion! Of course it's allowed. Mixing prints is so in. BUT, there are rules and you've got to have a certain edge to pull it off. Solange has that edge and she's following the rules. Looking fab Solange! Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Oya go wear nw. Fear self no go let u cme out of ur house

    ReplyDelete
  57. Nice combo nd skin

    ReplyDelete
  58. Linda ur skin is not fresh like hers

    ReplyDelete
  59. Have to say though, didn't notice the animal print shoes initially. Don't think it quite goes with the mixed prints. But hey, it's Solange, she's a bit of a fashion rebel!

    ReplyDelete

  100. Lighten up Linda! The babe is just trying to start a trend in fashion and as a fashionista she has to always come up with new styles. Whether u naw follow that trend is ur choice, but as for me o dis combo is a bit confusing... Lol

    ReplyDelete
  101. Solange was/is one who never knows how to dress. So NO I aint surprised, when it comes to knowing how to dress she will definitely be worst dressed chic.

    ReplyDelete
  102. If its Linda... It is capital NOOOO
    But as its Solage.. I guess it's allowed

  109. At least she color blocked the prints but u, u will wear same prints as skirt, top n shoes annnnnd bag...smh! If u like don't post this

    ReplyDelete
  110. Yes Linda you are allowed to clash prints, textures and colours as long as it comes out aesthetically pleasing. Who would have thought wearing a blue top and green skirt would be fashionable one day? Personally, I think Solange is one of the most stylish starlet out there.
