Wish Look #OOTD 10.23

#OOTD 10.8
Get inspired by this outfit of the day which features a green double-breasted blazer in time for the nippy fall weather.

Shop pieces below or scour the web and local spots for budget friendly alternatives of your own.

JACKSON- On Wednesday, September 24, 2014, rapper T.I. (Clifford Harris) was in town to deliver an inspiring message to the youth of the capital city. Making stops at Northwest Middle School and Forest Hill High School, T.I. urged students to “become positive influences within the community.” In a ceremony at city hall Mayor Tony Yarber presented the rapper with the key to the city for his efforts to end violence among the youth and for his positive influence despite his own run-ins with the law. Get more coverage of the event through the links below. What do you think? Should T.I. have received the key to the city?
