The Code

After reading Sara Tee recent post about her school's dress code I decided to come up with some outfits that may fit it. Here are her school's stipulations:

+Dress es and skirts no higher than 2 inches above the knee. Dresses must cover the shoulders.
+Tops must be formal in appearance with no designs or text or excessive cleavage
+Pants should be formal and must have leg seams and no sewn-on pockets
+When sporting pants, a blazer has to be worn as well
+Shoes must be dressy. Moccasins, rainboots, and Birkenstock-style shoes are not allowed. Boots can be worn with dresses/skirts but must be worn inside pant legs
+No denim, including vests or jackets

Maybe some of you can come up with some to add! (:

Tune Into VohnJovie

Talent is rare. Everyone wants to become an artist, but few are willing to do what it takes to progress in the field.

Up and coming artist, VohnJovie, has been in the game for a while and continues to improve the quality of his music. Once you play his songs you’ll be captured by his tunes and lyrics. His words aren’t exaggerated, they’re real, he writes what he see’s and feels. The music allows his fans to see life from his prospective.



When asked what inspires him most, he was quick to give credit to his "LeagueCrew" or Ivy League brothers, a group of friends who've stuck by each other for years.

"It wasn't until I spent time with Juan, Dayson, and Jaron, that my lyrics began to show progress...They really helped me get better,that is still the case now...I owe it to them," said VohnJovie.

He wants his music to move forward and is willing to put in hard work to make the possibilities endless. "I don't expect to be a famous celebrity through music...I just want it to be heard and enjoyed by people everywhere."

In the past he performed at three clubs (Green Street, Club Genesis,and Pour Music House) in the Triad Area of North Carolina. He doesn't have any set dates for upcoming shows, but expect more to come from this artist. The progression in his tunes is "something you don't want to miss out on."

His latest songs are over tracks of other artist, Miguel and Chirs Brown.




"A Letter To You"



"You See Me"



**VohnJovie's life is not any different from ours. Like any loving child, he defines success as the moment when he can take care of his mother and the people he cares about.
