Memo 204: Picked from the Deck and Drew a Blank

__________________________________________________________________________________

Sometimes, I draw an utter, complete  and absolute clothing blank. Like, I'm looking into a sea of clothing but nothing. I hate saying I have nothing to wear because there are three closets full of things that would say otherwise but sometimes, literally, nothing. Not one thing. 

Instead of just sitting on the floor in the middle of a tantrum wasting precious pre-event preparation time, I either resort to something that I've already worn or I go for a monochromatic look. On this day, I settled for the latter. Can we say black like I never left?

Phew, that was a close call. I almost didn't go...

Memo 193: To Keep Them or Not to Keep Them

Going to a day party or out for a little happy hour? I have the perfect outfit for you! Of course, the look is featuring my go to peplum shorts for the season! A couple of months ago, I had to make a really tough decision between the Cameo Collective 'It's Time' Peplum Shorts featured in this look and the Mink Pink 'Summer Time' Shadows Shorts that are linked in the "Get the Look" section.

I literally had them both side-by-side and tried to rationalize keeping both of them. They're so similar but they're not. I finally just closed my eyes, spun around the room, landed on the Cameo Collective pair and bid the Mink Pink pair adieu.

I'm pretty sure that I still need them. Things people with a shopping addiction say.

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.
