Transitions Pt. 2: White Blazer

TGIF everybody!

Just because Summer is over, it doesn’t mean you have to stop wearing your white blazer. You wont be breaking any “fashion rules” because it’s no longer taboo to wear white after Labor Day. A white blazer gives an outfit a crisp, polished look. If you feel a little uneasy about wearing a white blazer during the cooler months, start off slow and pair it with black. You can’t go wrong with that timeless combo. Once you feel more comfortable wearing white, experiment with other items in your wardrobe.

Will you wear white during the Fall/Winter?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Weekend Edition: Boogie Nights

Happy Monday all!

After a quiet weekend, my girlfriends and I decided to head out Sunday night. It’s been awhile since we’ve gone out dancing. Back in the day, we would club hop until the wee hours of the morning and get into all kinds of mischief. Now when we hang out, we’re calling it a night at 10:30pm! While club hopping has lost it’s luster, once in a while we like to get gussied up and head out to shake our groove thangs! LOL

How was your weekend?!

Have a great day!

Too Much of a Good Thing

Happy Hump Day all!

I have to confess…I’m completely in love with stripes! I own striped dresses, skirts, shirts and a blazer (yeah I know its out of control!) I feel wearing stripes instantly transforms anything you pair it with. So when I saw this Dorothy Perkins midi skirt, I was in stripe heaven! Its funny when I look back , I used to avoid stripes like the plague. Now I wear them at least once a week! Right now I’m on a hiatus from stripes but Im sure that will go out the window once I see another great striped item!

Do you love stripes too?

Have a wonderful day!

Weekend Edition: Wash Out

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!

Casual Friday/Feel Good Day

TGIF everyone!

There once was a time I believed that plus size women should never wear printed clothing. I thought wearing prints would draw too much attention to my body which would then “invite” negative comments or reactions. So instead of thumbing my nose at those assholes, I gave in and hid myself in the most frumpy clothes I could find. This bold, geometric print INC dress I’m wearing today (from Gwynnie Bee ) would have been a definite “no-no” back then. Thank GOD that Georgette no longer exists! If she did I would’ve missed out on this fab dress that looks GREAT on my voluptuous body. Now, I could give a rats ass about what people might think or say about what I’m wearing. All that matters to me is when you feel good, you look good!

Have a wonderful weekend!
