Happy Monday all!
Usually my weekends are slow but this past weekend I was quite the busy bee!
On Friday Shonna (my BFF) asked me to judge a talent show for her students and I accepted. There’s nothing like being around a bunch of 18-20 year olds to remind you how old and out of step you are! I couldn’t understand half the songs the DJ was playing and the dancing….WOOOOO! Lets just say it gives the term “bump and grind” a whole new meaning! LOL
On Saturday evening, Shonna and I decided to get gussied up and head downtown for dinner. We went to foodie favorite Oyster House and proceeded to happily stuff our faces with wonderful seafood. The lobster bisque I had was the best I’ve tasted in a long time. Shonna is a seafood aficionado so when she gave it a big thumbs up I knew I did a good job picking the restaurant.
Here is what I wore Saturday night:
One of my new year resolutions was to get out more and meet new people. So I signed up for Mahogany Philly on Meetup and went to my first event at the National Constitution Center on Sunday. The National Constitution Center is a fairly new museum that is dedicated to the history of the US and the Constitution. Im huge museum nerd and I like to take my time wandering the exhibits so I knew I had to be comfortable. I kept things colorful and wore my favorite straight leg jeans, colorful striped tee and a neon cardigan. I had a great time with the ladies of Mahogany Philly. I’m looking forward to attending more of their events and meeting more people!
What did you do this weekend?
Have a wonderful day!
Saturday’s Outfit:
Jacket: Kohls
Jeans: Simply Be
Shirt: Old Navy
Necklace: H&M
Bracelet: Lord & Taylor
Sunday’s Outfit:
Jeans: Talbots Woman
Shirt: Old Navy
Cardigan: Old Navy
Necklace: Gap
Earrings: Target
I did a bunch of shopping mostly. I love the animal print with the green what an unexpected combo that works well! It’s nice to see animal print paired with something other than bright red or mustard. I also like the cardigan and the striped T-shirt, it’s a great casual outfit…

Ever since a co-worker told me that leopard print was a neutral Ive been treating it as such. It pretty much goes with everything!
I attended a blog meet up and had a ball yesterday. I said the same exact thing, it’s very important to have real life relationships and it brings you back to reality. I like art galleries and museums too.

Yes! Those relationships keep me grounded as a person.
Weekend? What weekend? Lol. I worked both days but am now enjoying four days off in a row. For which I will pay upon my return to work as I have an eight day stint looming. Meetup rocks! When I got to the bit where you said you ought meet new people, I immediately thought ‘once I’ve read this, I’ll suggest Meetup in the comments’.. but then discovered you are one step ahead of me! Meetups rock. I’m in a Meetup group called Sisterhood – it’s full of the most amazing and wonderful people, and we have a blast whenever we get together. I’m even organising a couple of events for it, including a photo day out, and a girls night in. 😀
I also made a decision over the weekend. I am going to participate in the World’s Greatest Shave and shave my head to raise money for cancer research. Here is my blog post link to that – have a read and if you are able and willing, I’d LOVE you to repost it to help me spread the word. If not, no problem whatsoever!!!! Have a great day – and I was just thinking yesterday that you had not done a post for a little while. I miss my Grown and Curvy Woman blog posts when they don’t arrive regularly in my inbox!
Have a great day, Georgette.

Thank you! I thought if I wore a Springlike outfit Spring would come early! lol
Both these outfits are great! I love the deep jewel tones in the first one, and that second one is a great reminder that spring is getting close!!
Author
Yes Spring is! I cant wait til the 20th of March. I plan to wear a SUPER colorful outfit to celebrate the season!
Two fabulous outfits. Loving the bright cardi and striped tee a bunch:) Good for you for going to a meetup! I’m terrible at meeting new people!

Thank you! Im bad at it too. I get nervous and incredibly shy so this was a huge leap out of my comfort zone.
I absolutely love these outfits!!! The leopard and the yellow are amazing in both. So beautiful!!
