Daydreaming Takes Me Where I Want To Be

Happy Monday all! Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I took full advantage of the the warm weather and hung out with my goddaughter Skylar on Saturday. We had fun eating ice cream and being silly!

Lately, I’ve been daydreaming about taking a beach vacation. My last beach vacation was Grand Cayman in 2010, so I’m seriously overdue for a relaxing break. My outfit today is inspired by my need for a vacation. When I’m on vacation, I like to wear comfortable and colorful clothing. So, I decided to go for a nautical look by pairing my white trouser jeans and light blue striped shirt together. I added my pink blazer for a pop of color. I finished the look off with my 5 year old yellow wedges. Although I’m dressed for the office, I can pretend I’m on vacation!

What have you been daydreaming about? Have a great evening!

TGIF everybody! I can’t wait to get out this weekend and enjoy the beautiful weather. Do you have any plans for the warm weekend?

Last night while watching “Scandal” (which is AWESOME!!!) I was flipping through the May issue of Glamour when I came upon their “Month of Outfits” feature. In the feature one of models was wearing a sweater and belt over her dress. I thought to myself “I should do that!” I’ve been wanting to wear my floral maxi dress but its been too cool to comfortably wear it. I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to wear the dress with my purple 3/4 length sweater over it. I belted the sweater to define my waist and added my chunky necklace to go with the green in my skirt.

Would you try this? Have a great weekend!

Chasing the Clouds Away

Happy Hump Day everyone! How is your week going so far? Mine hasn’t been too bad. I’m looking forward to the weekend and the gorgeous weather that has been predicted.

For the past couple of days, its been looking and feeling like late Fall here in Philly. The cloudy and cold weather was kinda getting me down, so I decided to wear something bright and colorful today. After searching my closet I came up with this outfit. I had bought the pants a few months ago from Nordstroms but I shelved them because they were too big in the waist which was causing the crotch to droop (which wasn’t very attractive!). After weeks of procrastinating (ok months!), I finally took the pants to the tailor to have them fixed. The crotch still droops a little but its an improvement from what it used to look like. I added my blue blazer (best purchase I made this year!) and my yellow blouse to achieve my look. I added gold accessories to compliment the yellow blouse and red pants. I think I did a pretty good job brightening up my day with my outfit!

What do you wear to chase the clouds away? Have a great evening!

Me and my Sexy Self

Happy Hump Day everybody!!! Half the week is already over! Time sure does fly!!!

Sexy is something I never used to think of myself as. I always equated being sexy with Victoria Secret models and skinny starlets. Since I’ve began loving my body, Ive realized that every curve of me is sexy. I wanted to highlight these sexy curves, so I wore my Michael Kors pencil skirt and red blouse together. Once I put the outfit on, I instantly felt like sashaying down the hallway. Red is such a sexy color. I feel strong and bold whenever I wear it. For years I wouldn’t wear anything that would show off my voluptuous shape because I was ashamed of myself. I look back at those years and I can’t ever imagine going back to that old Georgette. This Georgette is claiming her sexy with bold colors and curve hugging clothes. I’m proud of this body and if you don’t like it, then too bad!

What clothing do you own that makes you feel sexy and strong? Have a wonderful evening!!!

Night and Day

Happy Monday all! I hope everyone had a great weekend!

I know 99% of my outfit posts are me in work gear so on Friday I was invited a semi formal function on the Spirit of Philadelphia. This was the perfect opportunity to wear something other than work clothes! Since it was semi-formal dress I pulled out my lavender cocktail dress I bought last summer for another function. I believe a gal should have at least one go to cocktail dress. I love the ruching on this dress because it accentuates my waist. The ruching gives the dress a wonderful shape. It’s a great dress for plus size gals. I love purple so the lavender color complimented my skin tone. My glittery peep toe pumps rounded out the outfit perfectly. It was almost as if they were made specifically for this dress. I also wore my favorite red lipstick from MAC which I think brings me out. A plum shade would’ve been just “blah” on me.

My girls & I had such a GREAT time Friday night! The DJ played a good mix of new and old school songs. I finally learned how to Dougie and I even busted out my old break dancing moves (luckily there are NO pictures of that mess! LOL)! We laughed and enjoyed ourselves. It was the perfect way to end the week and usher in the weekend.

Shondrika, me, Narjis and Shoshanna...Having a ball!!

Of course no post wouldn’t be complete without my OOTD! Honestly, I picked out this outfit when I got up this morning. I’m totally lazy for not putting my outfit together last night. I don’t really have time in the morning to be scrambling for something to wear. Whenever I do this I always forget something. So my $12 Kenneth Cole flats are making their blog debut because I forgot to put my pumps in my bag!

Hope you enjoyed my night & day look! Have a wonderful evening!
