Happy Monday everybody!
To me nothing says Summer than a day at the Jersey shore. My friends and I schedule a day to hang out, stroll the boardwalk & enjoy ourselves.
How do you spend a Summer day with friends?
Have a wonderful evening!

TGIF!
This weekend, I’m heading home to New York City (Bronx born and raised!) to visit family and attend the BlogHer conference (I’m so excited about going!). Whenever I go home I take the bus because a) driving to NYC is a pain in the butt b) New Yorkers drive INSANE (yep I said it!) and c) there is no parking in my sister’s neighborhood. Plus, I don’t like to drive at ALL. If I had my way people would have the ability to beam everywhere like they do on “Star Trek”!
Whenever I travel in the summer, I either wear shorts or a maxi dress for comfort. Since I’m leaving right after work, I went for the maxi dress. This Old Navy maxi dress is colorful, lightweight and very comfy. I got it a year ago for my family vacation to Las Vegas and it quickly became my favorite dress. I paired it with my multicolored beaded necklace from the Avenue and wood cuff. When I initially bought the necklace, I didnt have anything to wear with it, so it just sat in my drawer. When I got the dress, I instantly thought of this necklace and the rest was history!
What do you like to wear when you travel? Have a wonderful weekend!

TGIF everyone!
When I woke up Thursday morning I was pleasantly surprised to see myself on the WordPress homesite as apart of “Freshly Pressed”. I was honored to have been selected. The amazing comments that followed made me feel even more grateful. I want to thank EVERYONE who viewed and/or commented on my “Perfectly Pleated” post. Your comments mean so much to me because this time last year I was not the confident, smiling woman you see. I didn’t like myself and would bombard myself with hurtful thoughts. The way I dressed mirrored how bad I felt inside. I would wear frumpy, unflattering clothes because I felt ugly and wanted to hide my body. This began to change after having surgery to remove a 20lb tumor from my abdomen in November 2011. As I recovered from my surgery at home, I did some real soul searching. The outpouring of love from family, friends and co-workers helped to me stop hating myself. I decided to banish all negative thoughts about myself. I threw every piece of frumpy clothing I owned in the trash. I was not going to be that Georgette anymore. I was going to be the Georgette I always knew lived in inside of me. From that point on, Ive never looked back and couldn’t be happier.
Again, thank you for being wonderful and have an awesome weekend!!!

Happy Hump Day all!
I wanted my outfit today to be a complete 360 from what I wore on Monday. I decided to embrace my girly side by wearing this wonderful layered midi skirt from ASOS . As you know I’m all about keeping cool but professional when it comes to work wear. This skirt fits the bill because the material is light and fluid. I like how it seems to float when I walk. Like most of my skirts, it’s a tad big in the waist but I can live with it. It felt natural to pair my pink blazer with this light blue skirt. You can’t go wrong with that classic combo! I like keeping things simple (especially in the Summer) so I went with my white sleeveless blouse to wear under my blazer. To complete my girly look, I added my faux Michelle Obama pearls (as my friends call them!) and teal suede pumps (totally out of season but they work with this outfit so here they are!).
How do you embrace your girly side?
