Tear It & Wear It: An Introduction

Tear It & Wear It: An Introduction Posted on September 28th, 2012 in Style.

I don’t use a stylist, mostly because I love playing dress-up. Going into my closet, creating new looks, and re-working old ones is a form of self-expression for me. I draw my fashion inspiration from a wide range of sources: magazine editorials, advertisements, even Pinterest. The image above comes from one of my many, ever-changing Tear Sheet boards. I fill them with whatever looks are currently inspiring my sartorial choices. Sometimes I’m inspired by the mood or the vibe, sometimes it’s the color or silhouette, and sometimes I just straight up love the look so much I steal it. With each Tear It & Wear It feature, I’ll show you my source image and how I reinterpreted the look with my own pieces. I hope you enjoy the feature, and try it yourself!

I never thought of “Tear it Wear it” Pinerest has been a great source of outfits. Love what I have been seeing for the fall. The leopard dress you wore to the BET awards was amazing. Never knew you didnt use a stylist.

I love playing dress up, too! More than I ever thought I would. I’ve sewn a lot this year and I think the pride I feel from knowing that I can make things that I like and that fit well has given me so much more confidence this year. I look forward to seeing what you do with this space!

Ohhh Tracee, I am so happy you created this! As many women of color out there, I consider you as a role model and fashion icon.
I have been watching Girlfriends religiously and have been screening Joan’s outfits and trying to recreate the looks
In a word, thanks!
