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!

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!

Who doesn’t love denim? It’s so versatile that you can wear it with everything and almost anywhere. Before I started blogging, I owned two pairs of jeans, one black and one blue. Blogging has exposed me to different kinds of denim and helped me to move outside my comfort zone. I bought my first pair of colored skinny jeans last year and never looked back. Now I have several pair including bright yellow! I no longer hesitate to pair denim with pleated skirts, leather jackets and graphic prints. I hope to find a really nice denim dress to add to my collection soon. Any suggestions?
How do you like to wear denim?
Have a wonderful day!
Happy Memorial Day all!
Memorial Day weekend here in the States is the unofficial start of Summer. While that might be true, the weather on Saturday was more like late March! After days of stifling humidity and 80+ degree heat, a cold front swept in dipped temperatures in the high 50s! Although the weather was less than ideal, I still went to see “Star Trek: Into Darkness” (LOVED IT!), ran some errands and met up with my girlfriends for dinner at Redstone American Grill. The chilly Saturday evening air didn’t stop me from getting a little gussied up by wearing one of my favorite ASOS maxi dresses. Dinner was a blast and the food was excellent. It was great hanging out with Bridgette, Andrea, Kim and Theda.
Dress: ASOS Curve (bought last August)

On Sunday Latasha, Tamera and I went to Washington DC for the day. Knowing that we were going to do A LOT of walking, being comfortable was more important that being cute! While we did walk a lot, we had a great time together. The weather was perfect for a day in Washington DC. By the end of the day I was completely pooped!

Here are some of the highlights of the day. If you haven’t been to the Smithsonian Museums definitely put it on your “to do” list. A day was simply not enough to take in all the museums and multiple exhibits. The next time I go to Washington DC, I’m going to go for a weekend so I can see all that I missed.
How has your holiday weekend been going so far?
Have a great day!
