Thrifty Monday

Welcome to a new week friends!!!

I hope you've all had a GREAT weekend. Mine was pretty good. I spent the majority of it with my family, then spend a few hours with my babe thrifting on Saturday. We stopped by to see a few friends, grabbed a bite and were in the house relaxing by 9:30, LOL! Sunday, we went to church and as usual, the message was uplifting and relateable. 

I decided to wear two of my favorite thrifted pieces. My maroon, Coldwater Creek dress ($2.50) was purchased on a thrifting trip in Laurel, MD one weekend. I LOVE the slits in the dress, as well as the fit. It hugs my body just right! The leopard jacket (which is very lightweight) is form 2nd Avenue in Columbia. As you already know, I am a sucker for anything animal print ;-) I added my thrifted necklace and glasses (99 cents) to complete the look. 

My next look is from last weekend. My fiance' and I were asked by our good friends to host their wedding reception. With pleasure, we accepted and I immediately was on a hunt for a lavender/purple dress, per her request. I could not find anything lavender but I remembered I had a purple dress hanging in my closet. I purchased this dress form 2nd Avenue months ago for $3.50 and have been wanting to wear it for quite sometime now. The shoes were $14.99 from Marshalls and the earrings are my moms. Perfect look, huh?

FBF: Jessica & Selena

Morning, friends!

I'm going to keep today's post pretty simple. Below are my FBF picks and I hope you enjoy both looks. I am LOVING them both but for my style, I think Jessica's look would be my 1st choice. I love the blazer and the causal white tee underneath. Casual-chic at it's best! Selena looks lovely and very mature in her lave Dolce & Gabbana dress; perfect if you want to look glam and sophisticated.

So, which is YOUR fave? Which look would YOU rock?? Let me know. Enjoy your weekend and be blessed!

Facebook Friday: Denim & Lace

Well hello there!!! It's GREAT to be back!!! I've missed you all and I pray all has been well with you. As most of you know, I was in FL last week for my sisters national pageant. I am happy to say that she won her title and the trip was nothing short of AMAZING! I met a lot of great people, lil sis had a ball, and so did the fam. I will do an in depth post a bit later but that's a brief overview ;-)

I decided to take another week off from blogging, just to regroup in hopes to come back strong and better than ever! Sometimes is good to step away from things...it gives your mind a break and allows you to catch up on other things.

Now let's get to today's Facebook Friday! These two outfits remind me of what I wore while in FL. I was determined to be super comfy during the day because I knew I'd be running around. The first is such a classic summery look---denim, colorful bottoms and minimal jewelry. I added the oxfords and bulky watch in my recreation to give it a masculine look, yet included simple gold studs and a nude/pink lip to give it that feminine touch. The second look is another simple look to achieve. Skinny jeans are a MUST HAVE (for all seasons), and when paring it with a lace top it adds a romantic look. The animal print flats are fun, and the crochet bag screams SUMMER!

As usual, I love them both but my fave is Rachel Roy. I'm really into colorful denim/pants this season and denim is always a plus. Which is YOUR favorite???

Happy Sunday!! I've had a busy and fun weekend, but I did want to share a quick outfit post with you. Today, I went to church (as I do every Sunday) and had a great time. The sermon was right on point, and I felt as if the Pastor was speaking directly to me. I truly feel blessed and ready to start the week with a great attitude! Enjoy the outfit and have a wonderful rest of the evening and a productive week! XXOO...
