MY STYLE FIX: LITTLE FLORAL DRESS

Staying as cool as possible during the summer months, along with gorging myself on all things barbecue is my goal for the summer.   

Wearing loose-fitting clothing like this drop-waist dress, easily satisfies the former all while leaving space for the obvious food baby that all the BBQ will spawn.

 Unless you have a sexually deviant desire to suffocate and overheat your lady parts, easy breezy is definitely the key when it comes to summer style.

I for one harbor no such fantasies beyond the privacy of my boudoir notwithstanding, and I dress accordingly to avoid sweating profusely. 

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your day<3

MY STYLE FIX: FULL MINI SKIRT

Happy Hump Day! I'm having one of those everything that I put on looks like shit moments, brought to you by none other than Mother Nature and her monthly gift. 

It's bad enough that I have to deal with the feeling that my lady parts are being ripped from my body, all while fighting the simultaneous urge to devour a large piece of chocolate cake or vomit which ever happens to come first.

That's more than enough, but no gift would be complete without a little water retention making it damn near impossible to squeeze into, let alone fit into any of my clothes.

I mean, before I settled on this skirt and top combo, I actually went through so many other outfits, which btw, just the other day fit perfectly fine, but now since she showed up, and bestowed upon me the gift of bloat, the only thing that isn't swollen are my feet.

Which, obviously makes me want to ball up in the fetal position and cry, since it doesn't take much to illicit uncontrollable sobbing, as it's a part of the gift that keeps on giving.  

If I didn't have to venture beyond the confines of my house, I could deal, but since I do, every attempt will be made to steer clear of all reflective surfaces, and any commercials with kids or animals. Those get me every time.  
Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by<3

MY STYLE FIX: DENIM & HIGH LOW HEM

TGIF! Yesterday after stuffing my face, I decided to take Blog Pics, and ended up at a random church. The fact that I didn't combust into flames as soon as I stepped foot onto the grounds is a miracle in and of itself.

I mean, just look at what I was wearing. Denim cutoffs, paired with flats, and a stomach baring top. Sure it was appropriate for the weather, but for church, that's another story, which would've probably ended in some sort of public stoning had the congregation been around. 

At best, I'm pretty sure I would've gotten some soul piercing disapproving looks, along with a plethora of eye rolls from people like Mrs. So And So, who is likely the proud owner of assless chaps, which she only wears in the privacy of her own home. 

So, clearly she's better than me, who dared to expose myself in the House of the Lord, or at least steps away from it. Luckily, it was well after hours, and I was free to roam the grounds without judgement. 

Now, the eternal damnation that I may have incurred due to my infraction, may be impending, but I seriously doubt it. Sweet Baby Jesus sees me way more naked than I'm sure he would like to, and he has yet to rain down fire and brimstone on my head.  

Perhaps he's saving it for the grand finale, if you're picking up what I'm putting down, but I would like to think that he's not like that. You know, all wrath crazed and drunk on power. He's probably just happy that my heathen ass even made an appearance.

Have a kick ass weekend! Go Forth! Carpe Diem!

REPEAT FIX: SLEEVELESS BLAZER

I love incorporating color into my closet, but one of the easiest ways to get a Repeat Fix is to include neutrals as well. This sleeveless blazer seen here and here can be easily styled with many of my favorite pieces, because of the neutral color. White, black, beige, brown, and gray, are considered neutrals, which are compatible with a wide range of other colors. Because of the color, my white sleeveless blazer, provides me with so many Repeat Fix opportunities. Below are two different ways I wore the blazer.

MY STYLE FIX: TROPICAL PRINT

Happy Monday! I'm still trying to get over my crazy weekend! I consider myself an avid drinker, and pretty much know when to quit before my insides are projected all over my shoes. 

I mean, that's just so, for lack of a better word, messy. Besides the whole falling all over myself, or some unfortunate stranger, in some all of a sudden inconveniently short article of clothing, just never did it for me. 

But, on Friday as I knocked back several drinks, I quickly regretted my entire life, as by the end of the night, I either developed a sick case of vertigo, or I just drank so much that my brain forgot how to signal to my legs to stand up straight.

I was messy! And, if I wasn't wearing these shorts, which I paired with a blouse and sandals, I'm pretty sure my vagine would've made an impromptu, albeit glorious appearance to anybody lucky enough to witness the flash of brilliance. 

Keeping my body parts under wraps was less of my concern as I was trying desperately to prevent the contents of my stomach from prematurely leaving my body.

Any normal, self respecting human being would've been embarrassed by the state affairs, but as I sat on the curb no longer capable of maintaining vertical heights, embarrassment was the least of my concern.  

 Using the last bit of my faculties, to spot my emergency ride who had to pick me up due to my condition, was way more important than worrying about the strangers who gawked at me as if I was giving head in the middle of Times Square, and I wasn't just another drunk ass chick sitting on a curb.

Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by<3 

REPEAT FIX: TRENCH VEST

Buying layering pieces is one of the easiest ways to get a Repeat Fix, and ultimately stretch your dollar. A simple trench vest such as the one worn here and here in previous post, transcends seasons, and can easily take you from Summer to Fall. That type of versatility leaves you with so many options and endless pairing possibilities. Below are two ways I found to create fresh looks with my trench vest.

MY STYLE FIX: SCALLOPED SHORTS

Happy Monday! This weekend I sweated in places I didn't know possible. It's a miracle I didn't get a heat stroke even as I wore shorts and a roomy top most of the time. It was hades hot here in NYC.  

Trying to stay cool was pretty much next to impossible unless you were indoors where it was almost guaranteed that hypothermia would be in your near future. 

The thermostat was clearly set to Arctic in most places, which would've been cool had I not been dressed like a prostitution whore to combat the oppressive heatwave. 

It was brutal out so I get it. By all means turn the air up. But, when little old ladies are walking through the mall with rock solid perky titays you know you've gone too far. It's too cold.

Trust me, I don't want to be indoors sweating profusely with makeup running down my face and becoming progressively unsure by the minute. But, I certainly don't wanna see that freak show either. 

Besides, I definitely don't want any unintended upright displays of my own, especially if I wasn't wined and dined first.       

Enjoy your day. Thanks for stopping by <3

MY STYLE FIX: A TRENDY POP OF NEON

Tuesday Booze Day! Yesterday I got the most ah-maz-ing news. Yours truly was featured on LuckyMagazine.com. I'm pretty sure I left my body when I found out.   

I mean it's theee Lucky Magazine after all. The very same Fashion Mag that I religiously buy every month and spent countless hours on the commode perusing through every little column and feature.

I couldn't believe it! It had to be some other big headed Personal Style Blogger, because the last time I checked I was neither rich enough to bribe the staff, and my jaw is not that strong.   

So, of course I checked and double-checked the write-up to see if I was reading correctly, or just simply had a psychotic break from reality, because clearly without those incentives, it just seemed impossible.  

To be selected by Lucky Magazine for anything other than hoarding, because I do save all my issues, and floor space is becoming increasingly scarce, may have been an oversight on their part. 

But, I'll more than take the feature which celebrates my personal style as oppose to the former which could incite a visit from the local Health Department. 

Enjoy Your Day! Happy Independence Day! Thanks for stopping by<3
