Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Wednesday I know this is a late post but I have been so busy with work that I really have not had time to blog. So my apologies.

Almost two weeks ago I attended the second annual essence street style event. Now I went last year so this was my second time and I overall enjoyed myself.

I feel it was more crowded this year than the previous year so it made it hard to sign up for the makeup and hair event by Shea mositure. There was also a mani service station as well as clothing and food vendors.

I was able to meet fashion stylist to the starts Shaun melson and she was amazing she complimented me on my purse so I was on cloud nine lol.

For my look I knew I wanted to be casual and but cute as well as comfortable. So I wore my two piece set from express with my glitter converse sneakers.

This was also my debut of my hair lol. I rarely wear my natural hair but I decided to and it brought the whole look together. I paired the look with a jean jacket.

If I wanted a more dressy look heels would change the entire look. I hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy friday the weekend has arrived and I am so excited because I am getting closer to my time off from work. Which is much needed lol.

I wanted to share with you this look I wore recently. I love denim and I live shopping in my closet. You forget about great items you have such as this distressed denim skirt.

image

I owned this skirt for years and just stopped wearing them and now denim skirts are back in trend as there are so many hi waisted, midi and even the long ones which I love.

image

For this look I wore denim times three. So I was denim on Denim on Denim lol. I paired the skirt with a denim pill over shirt and then added this distressed oversized jean jacket I thrifted. It’s actually one of my favorite jackets.

For statement purpose I paired it with a my leopard print booties which I felt made the outfit stand out more. It was a great look that can be worn for a casual date or hanging out with the girls.

So I hope you enjoy this look and have a great weekend. Stay fashionable :).

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy friday. We finally made it towards the weekend and I know we are all happy. Especially if you had a long work week.

As you all may know by now I am a fashion blogger. When I started my blog I did not know how far it would go or take me. I started blogging as an outlet and to show off my great sense of fashion and style. I also believe in showing affordable style as well that everyone can relate to.

So when I saw this cute little shirt from my local rainbow store I knew I had to have it. Rainbow is the perfect store to shop for trendy items that are affordable and do not break the bank.

I paired this top with some ripped distressed jeans that I owned for many years. They are my most comfy and favorite pair of jeans. I wore some sneakers to make it casual.

The shirt was only 3 dollars on clearance which was a plus In my book and pockets. I hope you enjoyed the look . Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy thursday. The week is almost over which is why I love short work weeks after a holiday. So although we’re in September the weather sure does not feel like it.

So I wanted to show you a cute look I wore over the weekend. This one piece romper is so cute and it reminds me of a tropical island because of the print.

I paired it with a bold statement necklace and my cute sandals. This is a look you can wear a night out on the town or on a date.

I hope you enjoyed this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Wednesday.  Hope everyone had a great weekend and great start to the work week. It’s a new month and I’m excited because my wedding anniversary is coming up quickly.

I know you wondering about the title of this post but if your a big micheal Jackson fan than you know what I’m talking about.

When I put this look together I has no idea it would turn out like this. Sometimes outfit sections are pre planned and sometimes I just put things together last minute.

These Window Pane printed pants from express are amazing. I love the fit and the look of the pants. I paired it with my express top and Nicole miller vest from jcpenney. The shoes were also from jcpenney as well.

This look was one of my work looks but I totally look like micheal Jackson out of the smooth criminal video lol. Hopefully you enjoyed this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Tuesday hope everyone had an amazing weekend.  I spent mines relaxing,  cleaning and went out with the hubby. Was able to see straight outta Compton and oh my that movie was amazing. The acting was incredible . I enjoyed the movie and would see it again.

I wanted to share another look in my street style series. This beautiful chiffon dress with beading and sequin detail. I scored this number from my local goodwill store new with tags for only ten dollars.

What I love about the dress were the details and the color. The sizing waa not correct but I loved the oversized look for certain dresses I wear. I paired it with my diy jean duster and silver sneakers and Fedora. I loved the look as it was perfect for a casual night out.

Hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy friday or T.G.I.F

I am happy the weekend is here and approaching as I’m ready to unwind from the work week. I have no plans for the weekend which is always good in my opinion. 

I told you I love midi skirts and you don’t always have to dress them up. For me I work in a semi corporate work place that allows us to wear certain things.

When I purchased this midi skirt from H & M I knew exactly what shoe and accessories to wear. I wanted the skirt to stand out, so I paired it with a white tshirt and crop jean jacket. The shoes were from khols and the jacket from sears.

Hope you enjoy this look and have a great weekend.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Tuesday. Hope everyone had a great day. I was extremely busy at work hence the late posting. I’ve been dying to share this look with you all.

Recently I was in a blogger rut where I felt I was not expressing my full style potential. So sometimes you just gotta take a step back to think and figure it out in which is what I did.

Lately I’ve been doing alot of diy projects this vest is one of them.  This was actually a jean jacket I thrifted awhile back for about 9 dollars. I always wanted to have a brooch style vest.

So I actually owned a few broaches and purchased some at my local jewlery  store. Some of them are actually earrings that I used how unique right.

So once the vest was completed I was waiting to wear it with the right outfit. So I paired it with my neon midi skirt,  a tshirt and belted the vest which gave it an extra look.

I received so many compliments on my vest and I can not wait to wear it again. I hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy Wednesday. Hope everyone work week is going good so far. I just wanted to share this dress that my husband bought for me awhile back. My husband picked this dress out on his own as when he saw it. Felt it was perfect for me.

I love everything about the stress as it midi length and has pockets. I actually consider this the perfect work dress. With a blazer or a cardigan it’s perfect.

I paired it with a cardigan and these jewel zara sandals. This dress can also be worn with a button down shirt and boots for the fall.

Trumpet Dress

Hi Fashionistas,

Happy thursday. I hope everyone has been having a great week so far. I just wanted to share with you this look I wore a few weeks back to an event.

I had my eye on this dress from express for awhile when I first saw it but refused to pay the full price for it. So when I went back another time and realized it went on sale and I had a coupon. It was a must.

What I love about this dress is that it’s a versatile piece. Today I wore it with sandals and in the fall I can pair it with heels or boots by wearing tights and a blazer.

The print and fit was another reason that draws my attention more to it. The trumpet fit is always my go to for my body shape because it works so well.

I opted to wear flat sandals with the look. The sandals were from aldo which I caught on clearance as well.

For jewelery I wore a statement bracelet and decided to not wear a necklace so the print can stand out.

I hope you enjoy this look. Until next time.
