More Layers

Yay to Friday ya'll!! I decided to do another layered look but went more casual by ditching the sweater for a graphic t-shirt and wearing a good ole pair of chucks.

Have a great weekend ladies!!

Blackout

This week's Style Me Friday inspiration is all black everything which sounds pretty easy but adding different textures and shades to a monochrome black look can help make it stand out a little more. I kept my look simple and cozy and styled it with my new bag. I've had it for about 2 weeks now and I'm getting quite used to it but I did feel like a fraud in the beginning. I guess Mo is a grown woman now! :-)

Make sure to check out how the other ladies styled their all black looks!

All Around The World

Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is enjoying the day off and eating some good food. Today is also Mel's birthday. Happy Birthday Babe! We're going to a family brunch which is going to be awesome because her uncle is a great cook. We're also planning to go thrift shopping at the Goodwill stores as they're having a 50% off sale again. Other than that, we don't have anything special planned but hopefully someone we know will be having a cookout so I can eat some more good food!!

Mel and I attended a business networking event last night and this is what I wore. I thrifted the high rise/high-waisted jeans from Goodwill for about $4. High waisted jeans may be a little hard to pull but one tip I can offer is to wear it with a fitted shirt or a crop top. I paired mine with a graphic tank with some top cities listed on it and a cute blazer that I found on the clearance rack at Target. It was on sale for about $17. It's available online now at a discounted price. I got the ankle boots at Nordstrom Rack for $30. That's a huge deal with the original price being $160. I added some hoop earrings and gold bangles and the outfit was complete.

The weather this past weekend was beautiful and I attended a couple of outdoor gatherings. Saturday was the Malcolm X Jazz Festival and it was nice as usual. This was our 3rd year attending. I was accompanied by Mel and my sisters in-law. You're always guaranteed to run into friends and the performances are almost always good. I wore some overalls that I thrifted for less than $10. The overalls are a vintage Gap pair and were wide in the legs. I tailored them and made it more fitting. I paired it with a plain white tee and some cognac ankle boots.
