Love Gram

Instagram, is by far the love of my life, when it comes to social media. Never have I felt like a social site fit for me. I have been able to meet new people, network, work on my business and even gain fashionable friends. Honestly, before I joined Instagram, I never knew, how important it were to do my eyebrows. LOL.
I update my Instagram, often as its quicker, when you have a friend near, to take a picture of your daily outfits. Again, the majority of these items are thrifted, besides the shoes. Any questions, leave a comment and I'll make sure to respond.

I hope your all enjoying your weekend.

Week in Chic

I know, I'm on picture overload today!

I work the typical Monday through Friday 9-6 pm type of job. I spend just about all my time at work! That is all I'm going to say about my place of employment lol. I've always worked in corporate office settings and it shows by the pictures. The majority of my clothes I purchase for the work week. I still enjoy displaying my style, so I like outfits that can transition into whatever is going on during the week. I know what works best for my body, so the majority of the time, I'm wearing A-line skirts, fitted slacks or a pencil skirt ( I own pencil skirts in just about every print and color you can imagine). There are many females that do not understand the difference between club and work, probably unless your doing some serious layering they should never meet. The last dress, I have worn out before, but as you can see, I layered it with a blazer and thick tights for work. I hope this gave you guys some inspiration of what to wear and show your style at work.

P.S. Just about everything I'm wearing is thrifted, besides the shoes, if you have specific questions, leave a comment below.

Fire

Happy Labor Day!! I have really enjoyed my extended weekend and I will be at work tomorrow full of life lol. I decided to keep it really simple today. My friend who usually takes me pics is expecting very soon, so my lovely mom helped me out today. I'm uploading this posts from my phone, as soon as I'm home, I will get back to blog business..starting with my template!! I love this vibrant red skirt, it screams fire. I wanted to me relaxed today, still sexy which is why I showed a little skin, but not too much as I'm with family today. Everything I'm wearing is thrifted, besides my Zara heels.

Summer Sass

Hey you guys!

FYI!! I had no choice, but to allow my mom to snap these pics, as she was the only one around, before I went out this day lol.

Anywho, this is a thrifted dress, that I purchased last year for 4.00! I just added the slits to the dress. Again, there is nothing that is new when it comes to fashion and I can find any and everything at a thrift store lol. I can tell by the seams in this dress, that it was hand sewn. The great thing about thrifted items is that clothes made years ago, were well made and I can always tell by the great, thick fabric that is used. I know a lot of people have been on the fence about the gladiator heels, but these are extremely comfortable and I love them! I will definitely be including them in my Fall and Winter wardrobe as well.


Happy Hump Day.

SummerFest Fun

These pictures are from my Instagram, as I didn't have my camera with me. Since The Mrs. Carter Tour, sold out instantly; I had no choice, but to find something else to do this weekend. On Friday I attended the Summerfest which is an annual event in Charlotte. The Summerfest in similar to Coachella; outside performances, where you can drink, eat, sit out on the lawn if you prefer and relax. The America's Most Wanted Tour with T. I., Lil Wayne and 2Chainz was the act for this year and they were great! I haven't attended a rap concert since about ten years ago. It really was a great show and I'm glad I attended. I spent Saturday thrifting (more on that soon), dinner and  hanging out at the Epic Center. I love when my friends come visit, as they live 3 hours away. I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.

Late Bootz

These photos were taken a month ago and I have just been such a slacker, I forgot all about them. (reason for the this posts title) I purchased this dress from Goodwill, last year. It always takes me some time to actually get to the things in my closet. Do you guys remember my abstract thrifted dress? It was initially floor length, so when I cut the fabric; it was too awesome to throw away, so I made a clutch. My friend Saba, wanted me to jump on my neighbor's truck for this pic, but this is as close as I got and really think it was a great shot.

Happy Hump Day!

Happy Sunday Loves!

I'm getting use to my new work schedule and will be back to blogging consistently soon.

Yesterday, a friend and I decided to go to a very last minute wedding. I really had no time to prepare, as I spent my Friday after work getting my hair braided (which I love, beside the braids being a little heavy) Any who, I have had this wrap dress for over three years, it can be converted into like over 20 different styles. It is similar to the designer wrap dress, but for the fraction of the cost. I purchased the dress online a Walmart and I wish, I had gotten it in the other colors they had.

I wasn't able to get pictures of the gorgeous bride, as my phone died (story of my life)

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.
