Snow Snow and More Snow

This is our fifth day stuck at home (not consecutive) due to all the snow we're getting...And it will be the sixth day tomorrow. 

Anyway, that's no excuse for not taking outfit pictures right? Although, I've not been blogging much lately, I felt I needed to take my outfit pictures snow or not. 

Have a good rest of the week!

Hard to Find Pieces

Happy Friday everyone. Over the years, I've always been searching for the pieces below.  A red skirt, a yellow pencil skirt, a striped blazer, red dress, bow blouse and flounce hemmed dress. Well, I finally found them but I'm on a spending freeze right now when it comes to clothes. I hope by the time I'm ready to spend they'll still be available. Get these pieces for your wardrobe to add a little oomph to your style. These are pieces and colors which are hard to find, so grab 'em while you can.

Favorite Sleeveless Top

I was going to wear a basic tee with these jeans for work for casual Friday but reached out for this blouse instead, to disguise the muffin top that I wasn't happy with. Yes it's time for me to lose some weight. I really need to get on it now. I just want to lose 10 lbs that's all, so that my clothes can fit better.  I know I know, that's vain, not like everyone keeps saying they want to lose weight because of health reasons. Well, I'm being honest here; I want to lose weight because I don't want to go up a size and I don't like muffin tops.  Meanwhile, tops like these are great to wear with jeans if you are apple shaped.
Have a lovely weekend!

My Red White and Blue

Here's my version of red white and blue. I just had to jump on the band wagon and do a red white and blue outfit. I wore this to church on Sunday; it's also a great summer outfit for work if you work in a corporate setting. We stayed home all day on July 4th because it was raining.  We had a hurricane warning so no plans were made. It was a nice relaxing day and I finally put all my winter clothes away.

P.S excuse the bad picture quality. My camera broke and I'm using a borrowed one and still need to figure the settings out.

Life doesn't give us what we want. We have to GO and get what we want out of life! 

Live with intention !

Grey and Black with a Pop of Red + A Giveaway

Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a lovely weekend. Mine was busy as usual. I spent 3 hours taking out my braids on Friday night (post with new hair coming soon) and on Saturday ran some quick errands, made some Avon deliveries, took the kids to the doctor's, missed choir rehearsal, got my hair done, went for a birthday party and ran into Target to get some things for my daughter's birthday which happened on Sunday. Yes, Sunday was busy too.

Here's an outfit from last week. I got the top from Target on clearance a few months ago and I've raved about these jeans before, here. They just fit. I added some red to make the outfit pop.

Red, Chambray and Khaki + a Social Media Tip

Just a quick post to show what I wore to work sometime this week. What day is it? I lose track of what day it is sometimes. I've been mighty busy trying to do a lot this week and I think I'm beginning to see some results. I'll be sharing with you soon. 

I'm beginning to love Instagram a lot now ( I just got serious with it about a month ago). Instagram is where I am finding and connecting with a new set of people.  You encounter different kinds of connections on different social media sites. The use of hashtags lets you quickly connect with people who share the same interests or who could be potential customers.  I've also learnt that different social media sites work for different kinds of businesses/blogs. Twitter has helped a lot with my blogging, but Facebook, not so much. Focus your efforts on engaging and promoting your business/blog on the social media sites that work for you and fit your audience. Which Social media site(s) have helped your business or blog?

Navy Tunic and Mint Jeans + {$100 Nordstrom Giveaway}

A loose fitting tunic is just what I needed for comfort while running errands this past weekend. Just add a bright scarf and you're good to go. I've been playing around with all the different functions in PicMonkey. I paid for the yearly subscription without knowing what I could do with the program. I'm now trying to get my money's worth out of it. You can edit photos, make collages and simple designs but I'm finding that it's not that user friendly. Maybe it's just me. This picture you see here has been edited and air brushed using Pic Monkey. I forgot to change the settings on my camera for outside shots and the pictures didn't come out right so I tried to salvage them using the photo edit function. 

Have a great rest of the week and be sure to enter the giveaway below to win a $100 gift card to Nordstrom.

Neon Red?

Happy Monday. Not much words today. Busy Busy Busy.
I'm showing how I wore my Ashton Blouse from The Limited two ways. I didn't own a nice solid red blouse (needed a nice red blouse for choir uniform) and got this when it went on sale. It's even priced better now I believe. It looks like neon red in these pictures but it is less blinding in real life.  I also got it in Kelly Green. Once I find something that works as far as fit and color, I end up buying multiple colors. It works great tucked into a skirt for work or church and worn loose with skinny jeans. I would also wear it tucked into dress pants.

P.S Thanks for all your comments and blog love.

Red and Black

I don't mean to look all Christmassy on you with my red and black outfit when everyone is thinking about New Years outfits. I just haven't had time to blog this outfit from last week. I wore this to church last sunday for our carol service. I wanted something simple and comfortable because I knew we were going to be on our feet for hours singing.
I always layer my sheath dresses with a cardigan or blazer to balance my shape. The cardigan here, minimizes my heavy top and minimizes the big mid section.
See you next year!
