Wrapping to working 2/23/12 et al

-
So I missed a few hair appointments lol and I was too busy to do my own hair. I wanted a change from the fro I had been wearing all week so I coordinated my favorite wrap with my work clothes. In general I don't like to wear hats or wraps to work as I don't think they are appropriate (unless that's your  religious belief).

I'm wearing purple pants from New York and Co, a printed blouse from JC Penney and a wool blazer. I love my gilded beaded necklace and added gold kitten heels to match.





 Getting a lot of Hair Action ;) 2/25/12 - 2/27/12

Dress is a little large on me but after tying it in the back one could hardly tell. Both the dress and bolero are from Ross...totaling $30. Shoes are from Payless. The jewelry is from Traci Lynn.

Enjoying a day party with my homegirl. Its too cold and windy for a dress so I wore a dressy top and paired it with distressed skinny jeans.



 Picture party for my cousin's birthday. This is actually the same dress I wore to a friends birthday party earlier this year. It cost me all of 16 bucks from Ross but looks soooo sexy...reminds me of Carmen Jones.

30 Under 30       I have been grinding hard this year trying to get my business off the ground that I've neglected the simple pleasure of writing and blogging. I've been thinking a lot about what I want for myself. After taking a homebuyer's class, I feel really empowered and focused. I know how to navigate the scary home buying and credit repair processes and I am making plans to succeed. the most important thing for me to do at this point is to make/retain more money to pay off my debt, whilst saving money for the house. My plan is to cut back on life's excesses and to enjoy the simple things. I look at my friends, family and classmates and I think they are so accomplished. The irony is, they often look at me as if I am more accomplished! I guess it is because we sometimes forget to cherish the talents, the blessings and the strides we've made in our own lives. So instead of the typical 30 Before 30 list full of things to do. I have

The Tie Belt 12/15/11

Nothing says feminine like silk and satin (among other things), so I've added this thrifted silk magenta tie to my leopard print skirt by wearing it as a belt. Its a nice touch because its brighter than the burgundy cardigan and black camisole yet it still seems to blend overall. The skirt is from JC Penney's Worthington Collection and the sparkling cardigan is from H&M. These pumps were thrifted, cost be $3.00! They're synthetic but don't they look cool with the studs. These are great for days like today when its a little wet because the synthetics are waterproof. You can find a lot of antique looking jewelry like this beaded necklace at the thrift store. It def needed some cleaning and polishing but was worth it.

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
