MLK, Obama & Stripes

Happy Monday all!

I’m filled with pride today that President Obama was sworn in for a second term (yay!) and remembering the courage of Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. The gains of the Civil Rights Movement allowed me to obtain a higher education, become a professional and enjoy the same rights as other Americans. I can now say in my lifetime Ive witnessed my country elect a biracial man for president twice. I am profoundly grateful for Dr. King and all those who sacrificed so much for my generation and generations to come.

Now there is no way I could write this and not mention my style hero Michelle Obama. She wore a magnificent fit and flare blue (checkered I believe) coat accentuated by a wonderful statement belt from J Crew. And her bangs?! Gorgeous! Under that fab coat Michelle rocked a simple blue and white striped dress which made me clap with glee. Why so happy you ask? Stripes happen to be my latest print obsession. So when I saw the FLOTUS wear it I had to share some wonderful striped pieces to add to your wardrobe!

Have a great day!

The Best of 2012

Happy Monday all!

Initially I wasn’t going to do a “best of” post but I decided to do one anyway.  I picked these outfits because they were so fun to wear! The outfits are special to me because they show me embracing my body.  No more hiding and following ridiculous fashion “rules”. If I like it and feel comfortable, I’m gonna wear it!

In keeping with New Year traditions, I’ve only made two resolutions that I know I will not break:

1. Exercise & be healthy

2. Travel more (I’m heading to Vegas later this month, Paris in April and Chicago in July)

What are your New Year resolutions?

Have a great day!

Feeling Springy!

TGIF all! Hope everyone has great plans for the weekend!

When I left the house this morning it was cold again…ARGH!!! Winter had returned overnight with a vengeance. Although the weather bummed me out, I know Spring is right around the corner. I can tolerate a few cold days until the sun finally sheds its warm rays on me. This outfit is what I would wear on a perfect Spring day.

What would you wear on a perfect Spring day? Have a great weekend all!!
