_____________________________________________________________________________________

I love this short hair cut, I really do, and I love working out (most of the time). 

But the short hair cut doesn't like that I work out and working out could care less about the short hair cut. They just don't get along at all but they need to co-exhist in my life right now. So, when a visit to the salon isn't in my immediate future, I depend on several trusty hats and turbans. 

I just bought this one from ASOS and she's a beautiful little addition to the collection. Welcome.

So, I clearly just bought my first pair of Isabel Marant sneakers and I've been wearing them out. The designer herself doesn't even wear them anymore because they've been copied by nearly every other designer that exists. They're such a good casual option.

I've worn them here. See, casual spiciness.

One more thing, I've entered a couple of looks into the Vanity Fair International Best Dressed Challenge here. If you like what you see, please click the little heart in the bottom left hand corner of the image. 

Thank you!

Someone once asked me "Do you always wear heels? Can we see something with flats?".

Sure can. 

I wore this look to get my car repaired. No need for heels at the mechanics unless….never mind.

I've featured these Sperry Top-Siders before here and I still feel the same way about them. I seem to always pair them with these pants and this bag. Comfortable to the max!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Oh hey, November! Seriously? I can't even handle it.

So, to say that I may have overpacked for Howard University's homecoming last weekend is an understatement. I had more luggage for three days in DC than I did for 10 days in Europe! But I'm serious.

I wore this look on Saturday to the official HU Homecoming tailgate. I know what you're thinking. There were no less than 3,000 people at this tailgate. Just take my word for it. It was a complete spectacle. 

There's a lot of standing and walking at the tailgate, so flat shoes were a must and I brought my favorite (read: only) pair of comfy Hunter boots!

This look has an air of Mr. T. swag to it and I like it!
