You know it. You love it. It’s Seven Days of Dapper, back with some more sexy swag for your viewing pleasure. The one, the only, the exquisitely dapper Johnell Lawrence is here to show you how it’s done, folks. Here’s her stats:
Johnell Lawrence is a classical/jazz/funk/folk/rock violinist and violist. She is also the owner of the Lawrence String Organization where she teaches music lessons and books ensembles for all occasions. Johnell performs and tours with many ensembles, such as: TreZure Empire, Black Horse Motel, and The Divine Hand ensemble, just to name a few.
Her personal style has been described as fresh, retro, dashing, swanky, and dorky-chic. She draws inspiration from eras like the Harlem Renaissance and the 1950’s, as well as musical styles like folk and jazz. Most outfits are a calm mix of the old and the new.
Day #1: Kickin’ It
Outfit details: Going to kick it with my Bois. Maybe do a lil dancing after. Relaxed and comfortable.
Plaid shirt from thrift shop. Jeans from a men’s boutique in Boston. Belt Buckle from Goodwill for $.50. (I could not leave it in the store. A must have.)
Day #2: Classical Music Performance/Wedding Gig
Outfit details: Its tough to perform wearing a blazer. I consider this functional and still classic.

Outfit details:Rehearsal or chilling at my apartment listening to some old records.
