Tightfisted Fashion

Monday was not a good hair day. I already knew it was going to be covered. My options were either to wrap my hair, over accessorize my hair or hat my hair. I opted for the knit black hat and continued with a neo-soul/boho look by incorporating peacock feathers throughout. Peacock feather earrings, t-shirt and lapel pin, which I actually clipped to my hat so its not so blah up top. I wore grey pants and a cardi--staples of the business casual look--so I don't look too dressed down. Teal Thursday Color blocking and pattern mixing a big trends now. Funny thing is, that was something I've been doing since youth; but we called it mixed matching and I got teased for it. The teal jacket, black pumps and striped blouse are courtesy of the thrift store. The skirt is from JC Penney (on sale of course). The whole outfit probably costs less than this beautiful teal and green chunky necklace (also trending) which I just recently bought from Sears during their 6-9pm sale thi

In an effort to live a more exciting, albeit, single life I have scoured the city and counties for fun things to do. I have found the newspaper, craiglist, internet and word-of-mouth to be very useful tools in this endeavor.  Typically, I find a spot I like and stick with it for a while. I get to know "the regulars" and the owners and spread the word about their establishment. If they are black-owned, that's a plus. Lately, however, I have been going to new places using sites like living social, groupon, gilt city and things to do to find good deals. This week I found deals for the gun range, a carribean buffet, sushi, and a day party by researching online. Costs me about $60 for the whole week...not bad.
