It's 'Fun
Fashion Friday'! In these posts I will bring you the playful side of
fashion. Fashion doesn't always have to be so serious. I am a big fan
of really funky, fun pieces. I admit to loving my fun or bizarre items
more than the classic ones; even if some of my friends hate and make
fun of them. After all, fashion is about self expression and SHOULD BE
fun.
DENISE HUXTABLE PART 2
It's been a while since I posted a Fun Fashion Friday, so I decided I would post one every week of Black History Month to go with Christina's Iconic Style posts. Yesterday Christina talked about the iconic style of Denise Huxtable, played by Lisa Bonet of the Cosby Show. I wanted to challenge myself to find a few items with her likeness or that screamed Denise Huxtable style. A lot of the items are vintage and retro but I decided to add a few modern touches to each look as well.This is what I came up with! Please enjoy! Shop if you want!
The Rebellious Denise Huxtable Tee
Wear a Denise style moment snatched right from a scene in The Cosby Show!
This tee is by Pop ATL. The light pink tee reads Rebellious which seems like such an appropriate description for Lisa Bonet and the character she played. She was rebellious in her style and politics. That's why we love her.

Denise Huxtable Style Finds
It's time for my favorite part of this post! This is where I show you looks that scream Denise Huxtable. Since I love to support the communities I belong to, I am featuring items from etsy sellers. Other than a thrift store, there is no better place than etsy to find cool vintage pieces and unique items. I searched the site for oversized heavy sweaters, headwraps, hats and other items the character was known for. Feel free to shop the items or use the items as inspiration to create your own Denise inspired look.
Thank you for checking out my first 2016 Black History Edition of Fun Fashion Friday! Look for a new one featuring another fabulous tv character icon next week!

Denise loved layering as Christina mentioned yesterday. My favorite part of her look was always the accessories. I loved the hats and her use of scarves and jewelry. In my first Denise inspired look, I layered an oversized unisex cardigan over a denim button up shirt.The cool jewelry piece is versatile and can be worn as a brooch or pendant on a necklace.I could see Denise wearing this brooch in the middle of the collar of the denim shirt for a bolo tie effect.The printed palazzo pants are comfy and roomy, much like many of the pieces she wore on both shows. I don't remember ever seeing Denise in heels, so these t-strap Dr. Martens felt so appropriate for the look. I would swap them out for a pair of combat boots as well.

Denise Huxtable was all about layering, she wore several shirts over each other, even doubling collars sometimes. This look is a layered but a little cleaner than some of her looks. She wore a lot of oversized blazers, today we call this the boyfriend blazer. This look is a white button up with a vest and blazer combination. I could see Denise wearing the shirt tucked into the high-waisted jeans with both the vest and jacket worn open. She would pair the look with a pair of fun flat boots.Sometimes she was super matchy and sometimes she went a little wild. For this look I wanted to match the green bowler hat to the vest and earrings.

The Final Look is more of a Spring Look since the season is not far away. There is a look Denise wore on the Cosby Show that I really loved. I included a bonus photo of it at the end of the post. It was a mint green top that just looked like a slouchy button up in the front but when she turned around, there was a cool cut out in the back. Some would call this top business in the front and party in the back. I found something similar being sold on etsy. It inspired the rest of the look which became a romantic bohemian fusion look.

Denise Huxtable Wrap Up
I draw inspiration from Denise Huxtable's character in my style often but instead of sharing an inspired look, I want to share this tee I bought from Accidental Genius Clothing. I wore it on a Kris's Closet post last September while on a trip to the Loveland Castle with my sister.The Denise Huxtable tee I am wearing is no longer available but the brand always has great tees so I want to give him and his team a shout out. I will be sharing new merchandise from this company later in the month.
Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!
Kris,
