Weekend Edition: MJ Forever

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

On Saturday night I went to a Michael Jackson-Prince dance party. As you can see from the pics I was clearly Team MJ all the way! I was in middle school when “Thriller” was released. My sisters grew up with MJ and the Jackson 5, so they handed down their love of his music to me. I remember crowding around the TV with my older sisters screaming during his “Motown 25” performance. Even though it drove my mom completely nuts, we would blast his music and dance around the house. MJ’s songs always transport me back to those days that I hold dear to me. So on Saturday night, I danced to celebrate MJ’s music and all those wonderful childhood memories.

What is your favorite MJ song?

Have a great day!

Weekend Edition: Wash Out

Happy Monday all!

I had a lot of plans for this past weekend but the rain squashed many of them. Fortunately I was able to attend the Rittenhouse Spring Festival on Saturday before the rain began with the ladies of Mahogany Philly (a MeetUp social group I joined a few months ago). I kept things simple with skinny jeans and flat sandals since we were going to be doing a lot of walking around. While my weekend was a wash out I still had a good time at the festival. I checked the forecast for Memorial Day weekend and so far no rain is predicted! Woo hoo!!!

How was your weekend?

Have a wonderful day!

Summer Rewind

Happy Monday all!

Now that Fall is finally here , I wanted to take a look back at my favorite Summer outfits. These outfits were special to me because I have never been this colorful and happy wearing Summer clothes! I used to dread Summer dressing but now I look forward to next year and more fashion fun!

What was your favorite outfit you wore this Summer?

Have a wonderful day!

Casual Friday/White Out

TGIF!

If you havent noticed yet, its BLAZING hot outside! Dressing for work during a heat wave can be challenging . Its been said that wearing light colors keeps you cool because it doesn’t absorb heat. With that in mind, what better color to wear in this massive heat wave but ALL WHITE!

I paired my white trouser jeans from Talbots Woman with my cowl neck H&M tee. I wore wedges to keep the hem of my pants from dragging on the pavement. I added my new multicolored beaded Old Navy necklace for some color ( I can’t go without color!). When I got to work, I wore my denim blazer to keep with the casual Friday dress code.

How are you keeping cool while dressing for work?

Have a wonderful weekend!!

Going Native

Happy Hump Day!

The great thing about trends is that you can pick and choose one that works for you. I’ve been eying the tribal print trend for a while but couldn’t find a piece that would ease me into it. This skirt from Old Navy was the perfect way for me to introduce this trend into my wardrobe. The print is color friendly so you can mix it up a bit. Surprisingly the material isn’t thin or flimsy. Another plus is that it has POCKETS! You can wear this skirt for work with a blazer and a blouse (like moi!) or casual with cute flats and a v neck tee.
