Its Easy Being Green

Happy Friday everybody! I hope everyone has great plans for the weekend. I might finally go and see “Safe House” (if it’s still in theatres!). That movie has been on my agenda for a few weeks but I havent gotten around to see it. I hope it’s a good movie!

I finally got the Eloquii green pencil skirt I posted about here. It’s such a pretty shade of green! It’s the perfect addition to my Spring wardrobe because I can wear it with so many things. I instantly paired the skirt my favorite yellow cardigan. I love this cardigan! It goes with so many things in my closet so I wear it at least 2-3 times a week. When I bought it 2 years ago, I didn’t think I would know how to wear it but now I get ALOT of mileage out of it. I didn’t want to wear a plain white shell with the skirt so I wore my new black & white striped blouse. It’s a tiered blouse which the pictures unfortunately don’t show. I finished off the outfit with my green beaded necklace from Forever 21 (I don’t know if beaded was the right word but I didn’t know how else to describe it!), sliver hoops and bracelet.

What is your favorite go to item of clothing? Have a wonderful weekend!!!

TGIF everyone!!! Hope you have great plans for tonight and the weekend. I was off today so I have a three day weekend! Yay!!!

My outfit today is inspired by an amazing blogger LuAnne (www.weeshasworld.com). About a week ago I was feeling rather daring so I ordered a pair of purple skinny jeans from Macy’s. When my jeans arrived last Friday afternoon , I instantly began to regret my decision. The old negative thoughts came rushing back once I tried them on…”Youre too big to wear these jeans”..”My ass is too fat for these”…”I’m too old to wear this!”. Next thing I knew I was putting them back in the wrapping to return them. I decided to think about whether to keep them or not. Since I subscribe to LuAnne’s blog, I saw that she wrote a post about being plus size and wearing purple skinny jeans! Reading her words inspired me to stop tearing myself down. I put the jeans back on but this time I didn’t skewer myself. After a second look, I realized I looked good in these jeans! The jeans aren’t tight or uncomfortable. They stretch so I’m not confined or stiff. The color isn’t too bright or dark. I felt so good about myself in these jeans that I wore them to work on Tuesday (I’m not in court on this day, so I can wear jeans). I got so many compliments from various people. Tamera (aka Le Mer! LOL) took my picture for Pose and my outfit was chosen to be featured! If I had listened to the negative thoughts I would’ve been taking two steps back. I can’t live my life worrying about what others may think or say. I wasted ALOT of my adult life doing this. Live YOUR life and LOVE who you are!

Thank you LuAnne for your post and inspiring women to love themselves no matter what! Have a great weekend!!!

Happy Hump Day all!!!
These are a few of the items Im swooning over for Spring. Spring to me is all about vibrant color. I can’t wait until the first day of Spring (March 20th!!!) comes so I can wear these dresses.
What items are you “swooning” over for Spring?
