If it pleases the queen!

My birthday week was AMAZINGLY EPIC! I wanted to do a little something to fit everyone....something different each day. Thanks to a few well planned/timed events and capitalizing on a couple connects, I was able to pull off a weeklong celebration for a day's price....go me!

I wore this thrifted leather skirt, pumps and chain necklace with this Sag shirt I bought last year from Charlotte Russe and cheetah sweater from Nasty Gal for an edgy look.






 
First we went to a comedy show. I got the tickets for free if I bought at least 15 people (score).
 
Second, hotel party to launch my new website Tightfisted Fashion.
I got a great deal on the hotel suite because I lamented about having to switch hotels the day of (Yes, I got kicked out of one hotel before the party even started smh).
 
Third, clubbing with my friends and fam. We rolled deep to the club. I was surprised to see so many people. It was overwhelming in an excellent way :)

Finally reggae nite at my fav restaurant/lounge.

That whole week cost me about $500 but the memories and good times are PRICELESS!
 
Here I am with my fav magenta crop pants and a bold sheer cheetah print top punctuated by lime green jewelry. Admittedly, this outfit all retail o_O
 
 
I made my first sales at the hotel party thanks to my friends and family who came through.




 
This dress was gifted from mom dukes herself. I love it because it is shiny and But also because it is fully lined in fleece, which feels so nice against the skin. The heels are metallic and iridescent snake skin from ASOS

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.
