Subject: Business During the Day, Party at Night
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Have you ever experienced that day that won't stop? After work, there's happy hour with co-workers, of course, dinner with friends and you just have to "stop by" your favorite bar/lounge. I know if I go home, that's pretty much a wrap on the rest of the day! You now know it and my friends know it, too!

That's why this look was pretty spot on for the day that won't quit. Add the H&M blazer for business during the day, take it off for a little party at night.

You know the rest! 

Confession: I had to look up the lyrics. I understood not ONE word of what Shaggy was saying in Mr. Boombastic!

Moving on, I, clearly, love black and white paired with this sweatshirt. It's just so visually pleasing and it doesn't compete with the graphics on the sweatshirt. 

Ms. Roooooo....mantic!

Subject: I Wear This Blouse!
_____________________________________________________________________________________

I have never been nor will I ever be a believer in the "wear it once" lifestyle. When I buy something, especially something a little pricey, I want to wear the wear out of it!

I want to wear it until the seams fall apart, take it to my seamstress, and wear it all over again! 

Check out the four different ways that I styled this Sandro Express Silk Crepe Blouse:

So, I just started re-reading "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho. Good thing I started by myself because I was in my room HOLLERING at the truth that the first 23 pages were speaking over my life! Seriously, if you've never read "The Alchemist" first slap yourself then get your life and get the book! It is life changing...

My favorite quote so far is "People are capable, at any time in their lives, of doing what they dream of".  At any moment, you can go after your dreams. You're not too old. It's not too late. You haven't missed your chance. Ya'll...

I will go to church on this here blog post! Amen? Amen.

Moving on, I've featured a little black, white and gold in this outfit. Black and white on it's on has such a strong presence. Adding gold is just icing on the cake. And yes, I do believe that you can rock a little leather (faux or real) in the summer time and still keep it cool.

When I put this outfit on I immediately had two thoughts: My catholic school uniform and Cher from Clueless.

Granted my uniform consisted of a nasty plaid skirt and black and white Buster Brown shoes, this still made me feel a little nostalgic. 

Can you imagine the same outfit EVERY day?! Way harsh, Tai...

Subject: Merry Christmas Eve!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Christmas Eve used to be my favorite day right there next to my birthday. It was the excitement of it all. You couldn't tell me that right around 9PM every Christmas Eve I didn't hear the faint sound of Santa's sleigh bells. I not only went but I FLEW into that bed for fear that he would skip over our house because I was still awake!

Oh, to be young and to believe again...

Here's my final ode to the Christmas holiday season and what better way than to pay homage in green! It is after all the "it" color of the season.

Remember the reason for the season (I love cliches...*insert sarcastic tone here*), be a gift to someone else and remember to tap into that younger you that used to believe.

Merry Christmas to you all and to all a good night!
