Hot Pink and black





Hi friends, this is one of the pink outfits I wore in the month of October and as we all know; October is breast cancer awareness month. It's important for every woman to find a way in bringing awareness to this ailment; either through donation to a foundation; spreading awareness about it or taking part in prayer groups and support groups for patients, victims and their families. Women are strong and powerful and we need every woman around to contribute their best to the building of families and a strong community. I like to feature a pink outfit on the blog in the month of October and you can check out the one I did last year here.








Sweater: Victorias Secret
Shoes:Victorias Secret (old)
Bag: gifted
Skirt: Loft
Necklace: Walmart



 






Do you wear any pink outfits in the month of October to raise awareness to breast cancer or do you wear pink now and then on a regular basis? I know there are some ladies who do not like to wear pink clothing and do not like the color pink and that is okay too. I'll be back again for more fashion chit chat.

Fall Floral Dress







There are so many things in life that make me happy besides my faith and family and one of such is dressing up and looking good on a dime. I do like designers' items because they are usually of great quality but my satisfaction with a fashion piece lies more with how beautiful it is than with the label or price of the item and this Chicwish dress just embodies all that. Its' cut, style and quality is just impeccable and it can be worn to almost any occasion.

I purchased the dress at the beginning of the summer and just wore it to church for the first time this past Sunday; after which I went to a friend's baby dedication and the dress was festive enough for the celebration. Also, our weather in Minnesota has been great so far and I still can't believe the fact that I am able to wear a sleeveless dress without a jacket in November. The large floral pattern and color of this dress is just suitable for fall. If you are interested in getting one, it is currently on sale for less than $50 on Chicwish.





Dress: Chicwish here
Belt: Target
Pumps: Asos
 




 
 
 I know I have not been consistent with my blogging because I am starting to get addicted to the instagram app but I have made a conscious effort to keep my blog running and I'll start posting as often as I can from now on and interacting with all my blogger friends again. So, see you soon on your blogs.

Gingham Short-Shorts





Happy new month friends; welcome to the month of September. So, short, shorts have been trending for a while now and I really did not care for it and to tell you the truth, I thought it was a little juvenile to wear short shorts and being in my thirties, I did not think I had any business wearing short shorts until I went to Loft in the middle of the summer and saw this gingham print shorts. I fell in love with it right away but felt very sad when I found out that they were short shorts. I searched through the racks just hoping there would be one with a longer hem but there was no luck so I just left disappointed but I never kept thinking of the shorts.

Usually, when I see an item of clothing that I like but cannot buy right away, my prayer is usually that the item should go on sale but this time my prayer was that the shorts should go longer or that a "Bermuda-version" type should be released by the manufacturer because I love Bermuda shorts. Well,  the shorts did go on sale but the hem remained the same. I went in to the dentist a couple of weeks ago with the kiddos for their bi-annual cleaning and check-up and it just happens that there is a Loft store right across the street from our dentist. Well, I did go into the store after the appointment and here we are..:-).





Shorts: Loft
Tank top: Walmart
Jacket: Banana Republic
Sandals: Kelsi by Kelsi Dagger via DSW
Necklace: Express










I did find out that adding a blazer over this short shorts and dressing it up kind of elevates the look and gives it a more matured look rather than juvenile. I also decided to put on minimal jewelry just to tone down the look. This outfit would go on so many dinner dates with the hubby, I tell you and my hubby approved of it right away when he saw the look.
Would you dress up short, shorts like this even if they are denim short shorts?

Glam Sunday!!!






Happy Sunday friends; I'm so excited and still very giddy and happy from all the fun I had today at church and I have a testimony too. Yeah, testimony for those who don't know is; "when something awesome happens to you and you realize and know that it happened to you only by divine intervention." (I did not check the dictionary for the exact definition of this word but I am very sure I got the definition right)

So, here it goes; my first son who turns eight next month slipped and fell down the stairs yesterday and landed on his head on the hard tiled floor while I was busy cooking in the kitchen. He started to bleed from the mouth and cried and hyperventilated for hours and we had to take him to the emergency and it turned out he had a mild concussion from the fall. We spent the night at the hospital and he was discharged this morning and all scans and x-rays show that he is okay and guess what? It's my hubs birthday today! What a way to celebrate a birthday eve; I was awake the whole night praying for my son and the family! My son had never been hospitalized before last night and it was a very scary situation for me. Now, I just thank God that he is well and my family is okay and we can laugh and celebrate and thank God for his mercies.

So, you see, I had double reason to be all dressed up for church today; to celebrate my son's quick recovery and my hub's birthday. After the church service, we went out to dinner and had some great seafood. This Chicwish dress was my first choice this morning when I looked in the closet. I paired it with some silver accessories and allowed the dress to be the main focus because it's got such bold floral prints. I love this dress so much that I ordered it in two other patterns and colors. I fell in love with the design the first time I saw it when I was putting this graduation outfit together on Polyvore. If you are thinking of wearing chic and elegant feminine clothes, just stop by Chicwish; that website is the best thing to happen to women's fashion lately.









Dress: Chicwish
Jewelry: Vintage
Shoes: VS Shoes (sold out)
Necklace: Express







I hope you all had a great weekend and was able to spend quality time with family and friends. Do not hesitate to take some time out too to thank God for his mercies and to show appreciation for the love and life that he has bestowed on you. I wish you all of God's blessings.

Jesus Heals Ten Lepers

11And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God, 16And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

White and Tribal





Happy Friday Friends; It is supposed to be casual day today but I am all dressed up. I am expecting some friends over later in the day and I decided to skip the casual look and get a little bit more dressy for my hosting duties. This outfit comprises of items that have been in the closet for ages but never made it on the blog until now and I am glad that I was able to do something different for my hair too. I accessorized the look with this neckpiece I got from Walmart last summer for only $9.99 and this cute pumps I purchased a while back. I love the pumps because it is so comfy, trendy and affordable and I can always wear it whenever I need to add a great pop of color to my outfit like I did today.







Scarf: DIY (African print)
Top and skirt: Macys (old)
Neckpiece: Walmart
bracelet: old
Pumps:  LFL Electrick blogged about here






I hope you all are doing great. I am sad that the summer is almost over but I am very excited for fall because it is my favorite time of the year. The kids are going back to school soon too and that is always a bitter sweet moment for a lot of Moms. I wish all of you God's blessings for the rest of the summer.

Pink + Floral






Happy Monday friends; this is the outfit I wore to church yesterday and it is from deep in the closet. At first I thought the outfit is too old to be posted on the blog but then I was like "Hey! I am wearing it right?" If I wear the clothes and I am not  embarrassed  to be seen in them, then they can be up 
on the blog. I know most times, fashion bloggers only want to post the best pics or outfits on the blog but we live in a real world and not online so, let's keep it real...:-). So, if you see me in an old tee and faded denim running errands at the store in Minneapolis, do not doubt that it is me. Just walk up and say hi...:-).




Top & Skirt: old
Pumps: DSW
Necklace: Walmart.com
Bag: old







Besides, fashion is revolving a lot these days; all those floral midi skirts from Mom's closet in the  seventies and eighties can still look glam today and let's not forget about the Mom's jeans or bell bottoms (flared jeans) "yay or nay?"
