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!

Casual Friday/I Wish

TGIF all!

Now that Summer is here my job has decided to relax the dress code for casual Friday.   Unfortunately for me,  Im stationed in a courtroom, so I can’t take advantage of the Summer dress code (BOO!).  BUT if I could participate I would certainly wear a pair of bermuda shorts!  I would add a blazer and a blouse to dress them up so I wouldn’t get tapped by HR.  Hopefully by the end of the Summer, I’ll be able to wear this outfit to work.  But until then  I’ll just keep on wishing!  

 Would you wear bermuda shorts to work?

Have a wonderful weekend!

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!

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!
