Turquoise & Black

Short and sweet post today! I hope all of you had a great day and HAPPY MAY 1st ;-) Can you believe its May already??? Jeeze....Anyway, here in MD, the weather was a bit warm so instead of a sundress, I wore my cropped Salvation Army pants (also seen, HERE). I am in love with these pants. They are so soft and they move right along with my body; they're the best! My accessories are really what (I think) made my outfit. All of which are thrifted or from Ebay. Enjoy the pics and ttys!!!

Happy 'Hump Day'! I hope you've all had a great week thus far. Mine has been pretty good; no complaints. Aside from working, I have been spending a lot of time preparing for my engagement party which is coming up in a few weeks. I've also had my first "official" meetings with a few wedding people and I am just SOO excited about the ideas and whatnot. I will be doing a post soon about showing a few of my wedding ideas so far. I did one (HERE) a while ago but now, my ideas are more focused; what a relief!

As far as my outfit in this post, I wore this yesterday after work to shop and hang out with my cousin, his friend and my fiance'. We went to see some tuxedos and suit options for the wedding, and then I branched off and went to the Ulta Beauty store so spend some of my gift card money :-) The outfit was laid back and for once, I was able to wear my Love, Cortnie bag and my new earrings from EBay. I was watching an episode of Love & Hip-Hop and I saw Chrissy wearing a pair of gorgeous leaf earrings (photo below). So I went on a mission to find some similar. When I saw these, I knew I had to grab them. They are light wight, and I love the copper/bronze tone they have. Mission accomplished ;-) 

I hope you enjoy the effects on a few pics. I am having a BALL with this new camera and new Picsa (free) photo editing. I am getting the hang of it. Take care & enjoy the rest of what's left of the day/evening. Blessings!

Orange & Spots

Hey everyone :-) Hope you all stayed nice and warm today, seeing as how the temps were nice and chilly. I was happy that I was able to wear my orange pea coat from Old Navy today. It is one of my favorite Fall/Winter coats and the price was GREAT ($25.00).

Quick story behind the jacket: When I saw it on the sale rack last season, I knew I had to have it. When I got to the register, it rang regular price. After I explained to the lady I got it from the sale rack and that there were others there like it, she honored the mark down and bam! the jacket was about 50%. WINNING!! ;-)

The top I am wearing is the first time I'm wearing it. I showed the item here in a post a few months back. Pairing those pieces with my Fergie flats and favorite jeans, I was nice and cozy (and cute) today ;-)

Enjoy the look and take care! Thanks in advance for the comments :-)
