More Color!

Hey everybody!! So I decided to shake it up a bit. After being featured as the Fashion Bombshell of the Day, (see post HERE) I started thinking about some of the comments. You know how we say, "I don't care what people say or think about me". Well, in a way I don't and in a way I do. I like to get feedback and constructive criticism, just not ignorant and hurtful comments. All that to say, I took a few of the comments to heart and really thought about how I can incorporate more color into my wardrobe. As well as, how to show off my best assets in a tasteful way. 

So I've had this thrifted skirt for a loooong time and I've NEVER worn it. I posted about it HERE ages ago. I went form being able to fit it, to not being able to fit it and now, it fits again! Which means all this working out and changed eating habits is working after all ;-) I added a colorful/floral sweater with it, and topped it off with my new nude pumps. The shoes are like a dream...they feel SO good. I received a lot of compliments on the outfit and the fiance' was LOVING this skirt. So I guess you can say I am in the process of beginning to embrace more color, as well as embracing my curves. I absolutely LOVE the outfit and I plan to wear it to church sometime soon. It's such a transitional outfit---work, date night, church, etc

Enjoy the pics, and be blessed!

  3. Yayyy Nic, color! You look fantabulous! The color does work on you. If I haven't said congrats on your feature yet...CONGRATS! I will say it was brave of you to submit to Fashion bombshell because those folks that comment hide behind the computer and say some atrocious things. I contemplated several times but decided against it. I normally don't care what people think but when you have several people saying some really harsh stuff it can take you there.

    Again, you look great!

    P.S. I hate how that site encourages people to leave negative comments by posting them. Definitely not acceptable.

  8. That SKIRT!! Lovee Loveee love it!! It goes perfectly with your top. Oh and don't worry about what those people said about you. You are fabulous and to be honest the main ones who are talking junk are the same ones who wish they had style like you. So keep doing what you are doing because you look great. Always remember to be yourself because that's what makes you UNIQUE :)

    XoXo,
