Happy Hump Day all!
To say that I love dresses is a serious understatement. I love how they cling to my body and accentuate my curves. There was a time where I associated dresses only with special occasions such as weddings. Back then if you asked me to wear one, I would scoff and ask “why?” Now instead of throwing on a pair of jeans and tee to run errands, I make a bee line for the maxi dress!
What are your favorite dresses?
Have a great day!
TGIF all!
On Tuesday I was selected for jury duty which instantly threw me into a funky mood. Eventually I had to suck it up and perform my civil duty (Grrr!). The upside to serving is that I can sleep an extra hour and wear casual clothes which leads me to the dress I’m wearing today. I tried to stay away from getting another striped dress but I couldn’t let this baby go! The dress is from Banana Republic (yes, Banana Republic!). When I usually go into their store it is to browse for accessories because I told myself I couldn’t fit their clothes. While checking out a necklace there a few weeks ago, this maxi dress beckoned me over. I knew I had to have it but I wasn’t sure if I could get into an XL (which is their largest size). After going back & forth, I decided to try it on and …IT FIT! Now does this mean I can wear Banana Republic’s clothes, probably not but it does show that you shouldn’t stop yourself from trying on “straight” size clothes. The only thing that can happen is that it doesn’t fit!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Who doesn’t love denim? It’s so versatile that you can wear it with everything and almost anywhere. Before I started blogging, I owned two pairs of jeans, one black and one blue. Blogging has exposed me to different kinds of denim and helped me to move outside my comfort zone. I bought my first pair of colored skinny jeans last year and never looked back. Now I have several pair including bright yellow! I no longer hesitate to pair denim with pleated skirts, leather jackets and graphic prints. I hope to find a really nice denim dress to add to my collection soon. Any suggestions?
How do you like to wear denim?
Have a wonderful day!
Happy Monday all!
I had a lot of plans for this past weekend but the rain squashed many of them. Fortunately I was able to attend the Rittenhouse Spring Festival on Saturday before the rain began with the ladies of Mahogany Philly (a MeetUp social group I joined a few months ago). I kept things simple with skinny jeans and flat sandals since we were going to be doing a lot of walking around. While my weekend was a wash out I still had a good time at the festival. I checked the forecast for Memorial Day weekend and so far no rain is predicted! Woo hoo!!!
How was your weekend?
Have a wonderful day!

White it is a very polarizing color, either you like it or you hate it. We’ve been told that we can’t wear white because it’s unforgiving but I reject that notion. Prior to last year, I had never wore white pants. I was conditioned to believe if I wore a pair they would make me look bigger and highlight my ample thighs. When I finally decided to buy white pants I was nervous as hell. I was deathly afraid of what people would say about me. But surprisingly I got nothing but compliments on my ALL white outfit I wore last July (here). After clearing that hurdle, I embraced wearing white on my bottom and started my search for a white pencil skirt. It didn’t take me long to find this skirt from Talbots Woman. Now my next search is for the perfect white dress!
Do you dare to wear white?
Have a wonderful day!
