New things to work--week of 3/19/2012

-
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 this Sunday.




Cute on Casual Friday

So I bought these new hot pink peep toes to give my wardrobe some light. Neon is in this season and I am pleased. I was determined to incorporate these heels into my work wardrobe and I think I did successfully. I'm wearing a botton-down tank from Old Navy, on sale for $15 and one of my favorite striped long cardigans courtesy of Ross. This amazing necklace is from Sears during their night sale last weekend.

New Face

What do we think about my business card?  Good afternoon all, I would like to introduce you to the amazing new face of TF--Ms. Hazel Scott (deceased). She was a singer, actress and an amazing jazz pianist in the 1930s and 1940s who received a scholarship to Juliard at the age of eight. She was like the Nina Simone or Alicia Keys of her day--world renowned, talented, fierce and classy--gracing the covers of Jet, Ebony and LIFE magazines. Ms. Scott was the first black female to have her own TV show, and was also married to legendary politician Adam Clayton Powell. In short...she's a beautiful beast and I feel honored to have her likeness reflected on my new business card. Let her not be forgotten.   Thrifted: jewelry    Thrifted: Pants, polo & necklance                             Thrifted: ankle strap heels and bead necklace  Thrifted: Jeans and scarf (worn as headband)  Thrifted: sling backs and jeggings   Thrifted: Boots and overni

  My Day started out less than fab as I was forced to run errands for a new years party. What can I say...I make some mean deviled eggs...and the people need me! lol I'm wearing a thrifted plaid button-down, old Kmart jeans, gifted cotton jacket, a leather belt from my stay in China and a hat I crocheted. The necklace that I am holding is actually the chain to a purse that didn't live to see 2012 with an old clip-on earring that lost its twin. Besides family time and drinking champagne, I didn't do anything spectacular. I went on a date with myself to watch the fireworks then treated myself to an amazing view of the sunrise over the harbor. Its been getting cooler and I knew I would be bar-hopping so I paired this turtleneck (yes I said turtleneck) with these stretchy pants. I put a silk hankercheif in the jacket pocket for pop and additional color.
