Swagger Like Us
Time for another round of “Inspired By A Song”!! The song is “Swagger Like Us” by T.I. featuring M.I.A., Jay-Z, Kanye West and LIl Wayne. I like that M.I.A. is involved in all these interesting side projects. She’s getting exposure to audiences that probably never would’ve heard her music otherwise. The track is sic, so I can’t get it out of my head.
M.I.A. definitely has a style of her own.
Some of the stuff she wears would be - how should I say this - a little much for me in my everyday life. But, I think she’s cool and the music does inspire me to jump out of my comfort zone a little bit. Here is the look I chose:
skinny jeans or shiny leggings, a t-shirt (Delia’s) with an over-size grandpa cardigan (Alloy), some crazy high-top Nike Dunks (sneakerhead.com), and some funky accessories. The sunglasses are from Fredflare.com and the thick chain necklace, which is a play on the old school hip-hop chains, is from Patricia Field’s line (patriciafield.com - you know, the one who did the Sex and the City wardrobe). Oh, the hat is Topshop and the cuff is Claire’s.
