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!

Gotta Have it for Spring

Happy Monday all!

Since I’ve been home recuperating from gallbladder surgery (I’ll be back to work on Thursday), I have been scouring the web for Spring must haves. I picked the items below because I know I’ll get a lot of use throughout the Spring and Summer. I haven’t had a good Spring trench coat in years so that was high on my list. The maxi dress and ankle pants can be worn with blazers and colorful cardigans as the weather warms. The chevron skirt can’t be worn now with opaque tights and my faux leather jacket. As for the flats, who can resist a pair of yellow ones?! I often use yellow as a neutral in many of my outfits so they will get a lot of wear. I’ve been wanting sliver heels because they are a great substitute for white shoes (which don’t look so good on me! LOL).

What are some of your Spring must haves?

Have a great day!

Vegas!

Happy Hump Day all!

Over the weekend I headed to Las Vegas with my buddy Tamera and her grandmother for a mini vacay. This was Tamera’s first time in Vegas and she had a blast! I played blackjack for the first time, won some money, ate great food and hung out all night (trust me I’m feeling it today! LOL). While this was my fourth time in Vegas its always a new experience with different people. Tamera and her grandmother (Granny as we call her) were the best travel companions anyone could ask for!

Here are a few pictures from my Vegas vacation!

Have a wonderful day!

Casual Friday/Learning Curve

TGIF all!

You know when you have an idea  for an outfit but when you put it on its nothing like you imagined? That is how I feel about my outfit today.  I thought I would create a striped suit with my Old Navy pencil skirt and Nordstrom Rack blazer.  In my mind it thought it would look stylish but  after I put it on, I didn’t feel so stylish.     Since I always wait to the last minute to get dressed in the morning, I had no choice but to wear it to work. While I don’t hate the outfit, I  think I should have worn something different with the skirt. The beauty of fashion is that you can  take risks and try new things.   Through trial and error you learn what does and doesn’t work for you.   I will definitely wear these separates again, just not together!

How do you handle a fashion disappointment?

I’m off to Vegas tomorrow morning so I will be back next Wednesday with  pics of my mini vacation!

Have a wonderful weekend!
