Happy New Year everyone!
Just a quick to post to show what I wore last night. My girlfriends and I went to dinner at Grand Lux Cafe and hit the casino afterward (Donna won a whopping $17! LOL). Hanging with my girls and sharing laughs was the best way to bring in the new year!
What did you do for NYE?
Have a wonderful day!

TGIF everyone!
Now that the holidays are over, I’m faced with the dilemma of what to do with my sequin clothes. I don’t want to pack my sparkly stuff away just yet so I decided to incorporate them into my everyday wardrobe. I picked the pencil skirt because it was the easiest to wear. To get past the sequins, I treated it like a regular black skirt. I wore my denim shirt and v-neck sweater to make the skirt more casual (you know I had to have a pop of color!). I kept my accessories simple with a chain link necklace and sliver studs in my ears. I completed my look by wearing opaque tights and pointy toe flats. Overall I think I did a pretty good job on my first try. I’m sure there are some things that I could have done differently but in all I’ll give myself a B+ for this assignment!
What would you wear with a sequin skirt?
Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Monday all!
My holiday social life kicked up in high gear last week and ended on a fabulous note. On Saturday afternoon I had the pleasure of having lunch with a group of beautiful and intelligent women. We came together to see our dear friend who had come back East for the holidays. We discussed everything from “Scandal” (totally obsessed with that show!) to current political issues. I could kick myself for not bringing my camera to get a group shot of these lovely ladies!
Later that evening Tamera, Latasha and I got together for our gift exchange dinner. This time I didn’t forget my camera and I was able to take some pictures between gift giving and laughs. Dinner was delicious and we had an awesome time. After dinner we wandered the mall and finished our Christmas shopping.
While at Macys Saturday morning I saw this sequin jacket hanging on the rack. This time last year I would have NEVER thought to buy this this jacket. I would have told myself that I looked like a big disco ball and passed it by. Now I no longer feel that negative about my body so I snatched up the last 2x. Once I tried the jacket on, I knew I was going to buy it and wear it to dinner that night. I’m so glad I bought this jacket because it represents how far I’ve come from the person I used to be.
I want to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Have a wonderful day!
