I Like Her Style


I haven’t written an “I Like Her Style” post in awhile. Lately, I haven’t been felt like there is anyone in the public eye whose style has been too inspiring lately.   However, this “I Like Her Style” has been long overdue since I’ve been an admirer of musician Janelle Monae and her style for quite some time. The pompadour, her “uniform” and unique musical sound are a bit different from what you might see or hear daily, but you can still pinpoint some of her inspirations.  Her style is simple and usually remains the same: black tuxedo pants, a dinner jacket and her Charlie Brown shoes..  And although I don’t personally subscribe, I love her take on uniforms:
“I have always taken to uniforms,” she explains. “I loved watching the guys and the girls in their post office uniforms. And I was obsessed with Colonel Sanders.”
For me, her style and music are always inspiring to me. From my failed pomp’ that I tried on my own hair (and it was bad) to listening to her music for stimulation while writing or even cleaning around the house, Janelle Monae never really fails to inspire me.
And if you haven’t already, check out my favorite video of hers, “Many Moons”. Tell me it doesn’t make you move in your seat.

I love Janelle Monae! She looks cute in her black and white uniform too! You can't sit still when you listen to her music!
[...] I’ve written about my admiration of Ms. Monae’s style here before and I’ve also written how inspiring her music is. So you know I was beyond psyched when I found out she was coming to Chicago to perform at Chicago’s legendary Schubas Tavern. [...]
