Winter Fashion Exclusive
Melodrama Boutique a Houston Original
Jackie Adams owns Melodrama Boutique, a fashion store that sells an eclectic mix of clothing and accessories. Melodrama Boutique is one of the few thriving black owned boutiques in the city and Jackie's commitment to the community is apparent in the events held at her boutique that support other entrepreneurs.
Melodrama Boutique has been a Houston staple since 2002. We were so excited to have her impart some of her fashion knowledge and let us know what's hot this winter season:
LWR: What are the winter trends for 2012?
JA: Leather is making a huge statement this season. Leather pants, skirts, and fauxe leather is appropriate and cost effective. Peplum anything is great this year as well. Fall color blocking is fun and great pops of color makes it work.
LWR: What is a go to staple piece every woman should have this winter?
JA: A black pencil skirt is my staple because you can dress them up or down and flattering on many body types.
LWR: What is the best way to maximize your fashion wardrobe on a limited budget?
JA: Wear things twice and febreze in between. Take better care of items and choose a quality cleaner. Shop for great basics and stop waiting til you need something and get things as they fit your body and when you find a great sale. Make sure you have all the staple pieces of quality and can mix things with them in between.
LWR: What are the color trends for winter 2012?
JA: Eggplant, red, charcoal, ivory, any shade of green, brown, and any animal print is great this season too.
LWR: With the holiday season fast approaching, what type of outfit would you recommend for a holiday party that can transition easily from work to play?
JA: A nice fitting black dress which would require a jacket change and shoe change from work to fun. Bring a nice jewel tone cocktail bag too.

We also asked Jackie about her inspiration and personal style:
LWR: What was your inspiration for starting Melodrama? JA: I was a buyer for another company for 4 years and worked my way to the top of his company and the work environment became stressful and he started mistreating me and I decided to step out on faith and open Melodrama. I had the tools and resources and lacked the capital but human capital is just as valuable. I am celebrating 10 years this year and it is truly a blessing and only by the grace of God! LWR: How would you describe your personal style? JA: My style is based upon my emotions from day to day. I am willing to wear and mix up things and push the envelope. But when I am not feeling great I put together an exciting look just to get the compliments and change my mood or increase the positive energy I want to attract. I love classics and trendy too and mixing the best of both is what I do for myself and clients too. --JC |
