Greetings from the glamour world. I'm coco glamour and I want to introduce you to my closet.  Growing up I tried to fit my "style" in a category which in theory makes shopping a lot easier to do when you know what type of clothing suits you. Are you  A) punk rock B) vintage Monroe  C)  preppy D) sporty  E) All of the above  I find myself gravitating to the pretty in pink looking clothes with pastel and glitter but in the same moment a vintage old school patterned dress, a pair of 90s highwasted jeans, a 1930's feather headband, and a fall out boy graphic tee would all end up in my shopping cart.  Oh and let's add the African inspired tunics, plaids, stripes and cat paraphernalia ( nothing like a sweater with kittens on it ! )  Call me crazy or call me eclectic but it works. You just have to pair the items in the correct combination for an epic style of your own.
