Straight Lines

I wear stripes alot! My favorite striped combo till date, is wearing it with this electric blue skirt, plus the skirt has pockets. LOVE! For something a litte different, i've worn my peachy platforms. Just to add a different twist of color.

Recovery

I hope everyone had a fantastic 4th. I had one of the best weekends ever, spent w/ the Manfriend and my family. Fireworks make me so giddy with excitement, its kind of ridiculous. Food, Family and a throng of people you don't know is always the recipe for an interesting time.
After such a fun weekend, its a bit hard to go back to the regular routine. So I'm having one of those days when NOTHING looks right or feels right and i just want to crawl under my covers and watch movies. Not even my fail safe dresses looked right today. So i fell back on two things that usually make me feel better,clothes that multitask and skirts w/ pockets. My ruffled shirt is simply this ruffled tunic dress tucked into a skirt. If only there were fireworks or something to distract me.lol.Hope you guys are off to a better start.
Happy Monday!

Complements

Bright colors, especially complementary colors, make me feel better about getting dressed when the weather is kind of dreary outside. That and making lists. Here the top three on my list:
1. I'm looking forward to the weekend's activities
2. I'm really glad my endless campouts at the school library paid off. I mean i was locked in the library studying on my birthday. lol ( i received my grades, and i thank God!!)
3. Tomorrow is going to be a fun-filled adventure.

How to Wear Stripes

I found another cobalt blue skirt! Yes! This color is so striking and beautiful and when I saw that this skirt had Pockets and fits me better than the other skirt. So of course, I knew I had to have it. Skirts with pockets always wink at me and trick me into taking them home. Sneaky skirts! I paired it with this crisply striped dress (worn as shirt) for a simple yet eye-catching combination. Lately, I’ve become a bit fascinated with my shoulders, so expect to see them more often, especially with the weather warming up. Yeeeaaah!







I had to put away my shoulders after school for work, but the moment i get off, its going back to shoulders galore!

Black And Bright Blue

It was a beautiful thing waking up this morning and recalling the news that our newly elected president is Barack Obama. This election is the first time i' ve been able to vote, and this election has been the most exciting election event i've seen yet. It feels great to know that when my children look back on this immensely historical election, i can proudly tell them that i not only lived thru it, but i also partook in the making of this history as well.

Since i spent last night watching the elections come to a close, i didn't have enough time to properly plan for the day ahead. So it took me a while to come up with something worth wearing this morning. I must have tried on countless outfits and combinations before finally settling on my bright blue skirt as the foundation piece from which to build on.

This is what i wore:
Black Jacket(Papaya)
Black shirt (Target)
Bright Blue Skirt( Thrifted)
Shoes(Shoeland)

I enjoy getting dressed in the morning, its a chance for me to express to the world how i'm feeling that day @ a glance. I usually always feel good about my choices, but today, i feel great...maybe its the colors...is anyone else's mood affected by their clothes?
