So, after much deliberation, it has come to the point of my life where some things must go. The only thing constant in this world is change anyway, right? I mean, we just can't continue to stay the same. We must evolve and grow.

The next time you see me, God willing, these braids will be gone. It's been real but they've gotsta go! Farewell, sayonara, peace out, deuces and all that jazz.

They've been super convenient and have allowed me to completely lose my mind in the gym with no worries. However, she, me, her misses her hair. Currently, experiencing real hair withdrawal.

Sweet Jesus, H&M, you just speak to my soul sometimes.

Two words: This. SKIRT.

Sometimes, when you get into the habit of shopping fast fashion retailers you may need a little reminder of what a quality piece looks like. I usually hop over to the luxury retailers pretty often just to make sure I keep my eye for it.

Ya'll, this skirt was handcrafted with unicorn wings and fairy dust. No, seriously.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

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.

I am a firm believer in recycling. I'm not talking paper and plastic, folks. It's more like blazers and skirts. I, by no means, have the funds to support the wear it once life style. I wanna wear my clothes until the seams come apart!

The Herve Leger skirt has been worn here.

And the Sandro Express Silk Crepe blouse has been worn here.

Let's continue to go green with this fashion thing!

_____________________________________________________________________________________

First and foremost, number one and most importantly (yes all of them), I want to thank YOU. 

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express myself through my clothes. This is my art and soul. One of my favorite fashion quotes says "Your body is like a work of art, dress to be on display." I live for this!

Thank you for not only supporting this blog but coming back and spreading the word. It feels amazing when someone not only appreciates what you do but shares it with their friends and family. Thank you for sharing.

Be blessed and always stay grateful.
