Weekend Edition: Summer Rewind

Happy Labor Day all!

I hope everyone is enjoying the three day holiday weekend so far.  I’ve been spending this holiday enjoying not doing one darn thing! To me, lazy weekends are the best!

Now that Summer is pretty much over (even the temperature is changing tomorrow), I thought it be cool to pick my favorite outfits of the season.  This Summer I was more open to trying to new color combinations than I was last year. I’ve decided that no matter the season I will always add color to my outfit.  I will be color blocking to the day I die! LOL

What are some of your favorite outfits from this Summer?

Have a wonderful day!

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!

Casual Friday/Full Figure Fashion Week Pt. 3

TGIF all!

I wasn’t able to go to the Independent & Retail designers showcases  this year (which are THE most important events of FFFWeek) because they conflicted with the Blogging While Brown conference I attended (I was one busy gal last week!).  So the Bloomingdales event was the only fashion show I attended during FFFWeek.   The designers showcased are labels that are carried in Bloomingdales size department so I wasn’t expecting high concept fashion to come down the runway. There were definitely outfits I liked and could see myself wearing. Here are my  favorite looks from the show:

Of course the highlight of my evening was meeting people I admire and respect for the work they do in  the plus industry.  Women like Madeline Jones (EIC of Plus Model Magazine) are working  hard to change negative perceptions of plus size women in the fashion world so we can stopped being ignored and marginalized.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Weekend Edition: Striped Out

Happy Monday all!

On Saturday, Tamera and I went to the Philadelphia Natural Hair show and a baby shower/BBQ later in the afternoon. Since both functions were casual affairs  I was able to wear my new striped Target maxi dress.  I initially went into Target to get a gift for the shower but ended up with the dress! (Target knows how to get ya!)  Nevertheless,  we had a great time at the hair show and the baby shower was lovely.  Kiana looked radiant in her all her pregnant glory and she loved the cute baby clothes I bought.  I closed  out my fun day by hanging out with my BFF  and drinking fruity homemade sangria. Who could ask for anything more?!

How was your weekend?

Have a great day!

Casual Friday/Quick Change

TGIF all!

Im going to  a Cinco de Mayo soiree (partay!) after work with a bunch of girlfriends  so I  needed an outfit that could go from day to night.  I find that dresses are easy to transform  so I wore my favorite  hi-lo dress from Target,  added a white blazer and kitten heels for my daytime look.  For after work, I switched shoes, ditched the blazer and changed my accessories.    Easy as one, two, three!

Have a wonderful weekend!
