Perfectly Pleated…Again

Happy Hump Day all!

What can I say, I absolutely love this skirt! Unfortunately I haven’t worn it in a while because of the brutal cold but today the weather was in the upper 50’s so I whipped it out! I paired it with my green peplum top, dark green faux leather jacket and leopard print kitten heels to keep in season.  Now that the weather is slowly improving, this skirt will get a lot of wear.

What clothes are you excited to wear once the weather gets warmer?

P.S. The bag was my other birthday gift to myself  😉

Busy Bee

Happy Monday all!

Usually my weekends are slow but this past weekend I was quite the busy bee!

On Friday Shonna (my BFF) asked me to judge a talent show for her students and I accepted.  There’s nothing like being around a bunch of 18-20 year olds to remind you how old and out of step you are! I couldn’t understand half the songs the DJ was playing and the dancing….WOOOOO! Lets just say it gives the term “bump and grind” a whole new meaning! LOL

On Saturday evening, Shonna and I decided to get gussied up and head downtown for dinner.  We went to foodie favorite  Oyster House and proceeded to happily stuff our faces with wonderful seafood.  The lobster bisque I had was the best I’ve tasted in a long time.  Shonna is a  seafood aficionado  so when she gave it a big thumbs up I knew I did a good job picking the restaurant.

Here is what I wore Saturday night:

One of my new year resolutions was to get out more and meet new people.  So I signed up for Mahogany Philly on Meetup and went to my first event at the National Constitution Center on Sunday.  The National Constitution Center is a fairly new museum that is dedicated to the history of the US and the Constitution.  Im huge museum nerd and I like to take my time wandering the exhibits so I knew I had to be comfortable.  I kept things colorful and  wore my favorite straight leg jeans, colorful striped tee and a neon cardigan.  I had a great time with the ladies of Mahogany Philly.  I’m looking forward to attending more of their events and meeting  more people!

Me & Gwynnie Bee

Happy Hump Day all!

Today my BFF invited me to a lecture given by actor Hill Harper (CSI:NY) at the university where she works.  Luckily I didn’t have to worry about what to wear because I received my Gwynnie Bee package yesterday.  In my package was a  geo print faux  wrap dress from INC (sold at Macy’s), so I decided to wear it to the lecture.  This is my second go around with Gwynnie Bee.  I initially subscribed to Gwynnie Bee back in December but decided to cancel my subscription due to my dissatisfaction with the clothing .  After receiving an email from Gwynnie Bee  offering another subscription trial, I decided to try again.

The wonderful thing about Gwynnie Bee is that you have access to all kinds of clothing from various different brands.   I had my eye on this INC dress for a while and when I saw it on Gwynnie Bee’s site I scooped it up.   It’s clear the dress is made for the Spring because the fabric is thin and light. The dress was too big at the top so to avoid  my bra being exposed,  I wore a black tank underneath.  The A line skirt flows and doesn’t cling to your lower half.  The geo print is very trendy and stylish but  appropriate for the workplace.

If you like having a huge wardrobe of clothing at your disposal then definitely head over to Gwynnie Bee!

Have a wonderful evening!

P.S. I want to thank my handsome 12yr old godson for taking my pictures today!

41 and Feeling Fine!

Happy Sunday all!

Today is my 41st birthday and I’m feeling fine! I’m extremely grateful to see another year of life.  This year I plan to visit Paris, continue a healthy lifestyle and apply for a doctorate in social work  (finally!).  So far my forties are becoming the best years of my adult life!

Here’s a pic of what I wore to dinner with my friend Andrea. It was a casual dinner but I didn’t feel like wearing jeans today so I opted for my black & white striped pencil skirt  and red peplum top.

Have a wonderful night!
