TGIF!
This weekend, I’m heading home to New York City (Bronx born and raised!) to visit family and attend the BlogHer conference (I’m so excited about going!). Whenever I go home I take the bus because a) driving to NYC is a pain in the butt b) New Yorkers drive INSANE (yep I said it!) and c) there is no parking in my sister’s neighborhood. Plus, I don’t like to drive at ALL. If I had my way people would have the ability to beam everywhere like they do on “Star Trek”!
Whenever I travel in the summer, I either wear shorts or a maxi dress for comfort. Since I’m leaving right after work, I went for the maxi dress. This Old Navy maxi dress is colorful, lightweight and very comfy. I got it a year ago for my family vacation to Las Vegas and it quickly became my favorite dress. I paired it with my multicolored beaded necklace from the Avenue and wood cuff. When I initially bought the necklace, I didnt have anything to wear with it, so it just sat in my drawer. When I got the dress, I instantly thought of this necklace and the rest was history!
What do you like to wear when you travel? Have a wonderful weekend!
Dress: Old Navy
Necklace: the Avenue (I bought it a year ago)
Sandals: Steve Madden
Bracelet: Forever 21
Pretty!
I just bought my very first maxi dress. I had been looking for awhile and couldn’t find one that I loved. Then, I took a stroll through the clearance rack at Target and saw a beauty! Fuschia with a beautiful criss cross diamond pattern at a high waist. Best part – 70% off. Worst part – Liz Lange Materniyy. I tried it on anyway and it fit great! It was way too long because I don’t have a pregnant tummy, so I just cut 3-1/2″ from the bottom.

Yay!!!
Very pretty Maxi dress! I really like the flounce at the neckline; it adds a touch of extra femininity. I have an orange maxi that has a tie dye look and I adore it.

Hi there. You look so pretty. That orange color looks amazing on you. 🙂 Your natural hair is gorgeous as well. I enjoyed reading your blog. I am currently transitioning. It’s been 11-months no perm. I’m following you now. Maybe you can check out my blog and follow back? I would appreciate any tips you may have for me while going natural. Be blessed. 🙂
