Outfit of the Day: ALL BLACK GLAM

Hi Everyone,

I wore this look to church last weekend and I felt really great in it. It would have been perfect, except for the fact that I had to take my hat off. It was super windy outside!

These pants are almost 3 years old and it was gratifying to be able to fit back into them. Since cutting out bad carbs from my diet I am down 5 pounds and I have 10 more to go! Whohoo! lol Anywho, I hope this look inspires you to rock your all-black proudly.

Wool Hat: Thrifted
Shag Sweater: H&M
Pleated Pants: Marshall's
Glitter Pointer-Toe Pumps: Target

Its really simple to jazz up an all-black look with sequins, or glitter. A pop of color also mixes things up!
I did a red lip for my pop! 

My loves after church!

My champ and me! 😍💙

Merry Christmas!

This is one of my favorite times of the year. I really enjoy celebrating Christmas because it brings back fond memories. During this time of year I can recall being a child, bundled up in a sweater, waiting for my dad to come through the door with gifts. My mother was on constant watch to make sure my sister didn't eat all of the candy canes off of the Christmas tree, and my baby brother was running all around the house. This was the time of year when everyone seemed to get along better, smile more, and laugh often. I can remember feeling so carefree. At church we learned about baby Jesus and the Haitian adults in my family would drink a beverage they were calling Kremas.

Those memories still play over and over again in my mind each Christmas. This time last year I was mourning the loss of our baby boy Korbyn. But this year, although we miss him dearly God has smiled on us with the gift of his brother Eilan. Our story reminds me of a scripture in the book of Ecclesiastes that talks about seasons in life. King Solomon, in all of his wisdom, shared about the cyclical nature of life.

Ecc. 3:1-4

There is a time for everything,
    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

    a time to be born and a time to die,
    a time to plant and a time to uproot,
 a time to kill and a time to heal,
    a time to tear down and a time to build,
   a time to weep and a time to laugh,
    a time to mourn and a time to dance...

XOXO,

Merry Christmas

AFTERNOONS WITH FAMILY LEAD TO UNANTICIPATED PHOTOSHOOTS

Hi Everyone, 

This look is from an unexpected photoshoot, after a nice afternoon out with my husband and son. I wore this baseball inspired top again, with a different spin this time. We coordinated our looks, somewhat. ;) 

What happens behind the scenes. I'm in the background fanning myself before my makeup melts off. lol

I loved the softness of the denim shirt around my waist, and the nude pumps on my feet. I've been trying some more unconventional outfit choices, as of late. I love to mix the feminine with the androgynous. More importantly, I absolutely love being a mom. It's brought out a different (more liberated) side of me; which has directly impacted my style.


XOXO,

CASUAL GLAM

Hi Everyone!!

I wore this look over the weekend. I call it my 'casualglam' look, because it combined style and comfort. I wore a light denim shirt over leggings and paired this with blue-framed sunglasses, booties, and a taupe handbag.

Hope you were inspired in some way. :)

FALL LOOK: GRUNGE CHIC

Hi Guys!

I wore this look the other day while running errands. I was going for comfort, more than anything. Somehow, after adding these boots, the look took a turn for the chic-er (not a word, by the way).

I added these boots because I wanted to wear heels, but I didn't want my feet to hurt. These boots are so comfortable. I wore them during a performance early this year and my feet faired well, even with all the dancing I did. I hope I've shown you how comfort can also be fashionable.

Wide-Brim Hat: Thrifted
Raglan Tee with Logo: My Hubby's

Houndstooth Pencil Skirt: Thrifted
Studded Booties: Forever 21
Tote: Zara (I carry this everyday!)

I wore this look fearlessly, even though convention says not to wear these proportions, due to my height.
What I love about fashion is the ability to express myself. Wear it fearlessly.

XOXO,
