Black Crops
Here's a simple summer work outfit from this week. Sleeveless top, cropped pants and wedges layered with a sweater. I didn't realize It was rainy and cold so I grabbed the sweater last minute and I don't believe I had it on all day. It was a chilly day for sure. I didn't mind it though. The cropped pants are another favorite of mine because they fit despite having a big mid section and small hips.

Blue Circles
I need to get back to resting mode because too much going on I tell ya. My brain is on accelerated mode and my body is beginning to be affected. So this week, I'm trying to rest as much as I can when I can.
What I'm learning in the past few days is to be patient and whatever I'm frustrated with and any kind of progress I think I'm not making is just God's way of making me stronger and to prepare me better for what is to come. This is a little contradictory to what I posted earlier this week but the key is balance. Never go to the extremes. Never over do it. You can slow down and wait and listen sometimes so that you clearly know what to do next.
Have a great rest of the week.

What are you Waiting For?
This was the bible verse that popped into my mind this morning. I meditated on it a few minutes and was reminded of the following road blocks that keep people from moving forward, starting a venture or going for their dreams. Some are still roadblocks and excuses that I make.
- Are you still waiting for the time to be right?
- Are you still waiting for your feelings to be right?
- Are you still waiting for the other person to make the first move or apologize?
- Are you still waiting for those involved to get their act together and behave?
- Are you still waiting for the economy to get better?
But you may say I've never done that before. There's a first time for everything. Go as far as you can see. When you get there, you'll see farther (Zig Ziglar). Take the first steps. When you do, the next thing you're supposed to do will become clearer.
As I've been building my business, a lot of things I know now and I'm doing now, I never knew or could do before. I'm discovering new things and my level of awareness has increased. If I had waited to know all those things in the beginning, I would have been in the same spot still. When the opportunity you are looking for finally comes, it may be too late to prepare but when you prepare and step out, then you will actually recognize opportunities and be able to seize them and move closer to your goals.
I thought I didn't have the money to invest in my business but once I took the first step and had a goal, my spending habits changed. I stopped buying shoes and invested in my business instead. So, changing your mindset and having a greater purpose will help you find the resources which you thought you never had.

Will there be problems along the way? Yes, but instead of letting the problems paralyze you, work on them, solve them, think of ways you can overcome them (the answer is within you by the way) and move on and reach those goals.
You don't have to be great to start but you have to start to be great. - Zig Ziglar.
So what are you waiting for? What do you need to start today?

Another African Attire
I wore this to outfit to a birthday party over the weekend. It's custom made and it's called an aso ebi (ashor ebi) which means many friends of the celebrant had the same fabric in different styles. As you know I'm originally from Nigeria and I still strongly cherish my heritage and have family and friends from Nigeria here. A lot of parties and weddings are done Nigerian style and you will almost often find people wearing Lace or Ankara (another type of fabric) in different styles.
I'm without my head tie (gele) in the first picture because I'm not skilled in tying it on my head. I usually take my gele along with me and find someone to do it for me.
