Something’s Gotta Give

Happy Hump Day all!

In “Something’s Gotta Give” (one of my favorite romantic comedies) there’s scene where Diane Keaton is wearing this fabulous white suit while confronting Jack Nicholson’s character at a restaurant.  After seeing her in that suit, I wanted one of my own.   Unfortunately back then  the thought of wearing all white scared the hell out of me, so I shelved my white suit dreams.  Now wearing all white is no longer  a taboo for me.  This morning, I  put together pieces in my wardrobe  and decided to make my white suit dreams come true!

Would you wear a white suit?

Have a great day!

Weekend Edition: Savvy Summer with London Times!

Happy Monday all!

Philadelphia comes alive in the Summer with block parties, street festivals and outdoor concerts. On Sunday afternoon my friend Tawanda and I went to the annual Odunde Festival celebrating African culture.  It was a bright sunny day perfect for a street festival.  Since I’m participating  in  London Times “Savvy Summer” campaign, I decided to wear their comfortable  blouson dress to the outing (without the heels of course!).  Tawanda and I had a great time  listening to music, eating good food and enjoying each others company.

How was your weekend?

Have a wonderful day!

Casual Friday/Back in the Saddle

TGIF all!

I finally returned to work  this week after jury duty and I have to say I was glad to be back!  I’m pretty autonomous at my job so I missed being able to work at my own pace. Luckily there wasn’t a huge pile of work waiting  for me  so it easy to get back into the swing of things.   Another thing I missed was dressing up for work.  Don’t get me wrong, I love being casual but I also love wearing a cute work outfit with a great pair of shoes!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Ode to the Dress

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!

Polka Dot Dress and Red Skinny Belt

Casual Friday/If It Fits….

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!
