Oh the Irony!!

I swear I've been meaning to write this a while ago but I've never had time to. I'm  literally sitting in the storage room of my job, talk about getting it in where it fit in. I couldn't let another day go by without spilling out what has been on my heart. This isn't something that has been tearing me down or anything it's something that I has come full circle to me. Recognition of growth and how life can be super ironic. The true meaning of everything that glitters isn't gold.....the grass truly isn't greener on the other side. 

We all know going through life we constantly deal with certain situations that may cause us to produce insecurities about ourselves. As females we began to compare ourselves to the next one. Oh she's this and that....so on and so forth. But as you began to mature and become comfortable with the skin you're in ironically those same females you once compared yourself to become the chicks you just look and and shake your head.

You questioned life and wondered why you didn't have a surplus of men to date, men didn't flock towards you as much as them, and felt as if you couldn't get the attention of anyone but what you didn't realize is that you have dodged unnecessary heart ache and baggage. Let's be honest half of these chicks walking around with endless "juice" are heartbroken and hurt, looking for love in all of the wrong places. They have given themselves to men who promise to love them and give them everything that they longed for but leave them empty wth broken promises. Now this may not be the case for all but it's a little over majority.  

 

Oh the irony!! Ironically those same girls who you compared yourself to are now below the level you have matured to. It takes a certain level of maturity to be okay with not having this thing called the "juice". I mean I would much rather wait patiently for one person than entertain endless randoms. These "bad jawns" and "five star chicks" are lowkey losing miserably, entertaining this cycle of insanity messing around with the same type of dudes expecting a different outcome. Baby girl you're worth so much more and others won't see it until you realize that yourself; and for the chicks who are feeling less than hunny you are beautiful and don't let anyone in this world tell you different. That respect that you have for yourself will be respected one day. Never lower your standards to appease a man it'll never be worth it. Wait on hunny  come take a seat next to me because our Boaz is coming ;-)

Popping Prints

Incase you didn't know I love love love love love oh did I say love to thrift!!! I'm absolutely obsessed with thrifting and finding those it pieces that you just gotta have in your closet. Nothing brings me more joy than going in the thrift store and finding a MUST HAVE STATMENT PIECE.

This multicolored skirt was definitely one of my favorite finds that glorious day of thrifting! Not only did I find a great staple piece to add to my closet I got it for just one buck. YES I SAID IT ONE BUCK!! I couldn't just leave it there, it deserved to have a better home *hint hint my closet* It's such a popping piece I look forward to pairing it with a crop top in the summer and bringing out some of the other colors that are in the print. It's so light and fun, the pattern is EVERYTHING!!! I challenge you to step out it the box a little more. This spring add more prints to your wardrobe. I promise you won't regret it! Patterns always add the extra little funk. It allows you to do just enough without doing too much. 

Fashion is art...let your body be the canvas...are you ready to be Picasso?

What Fear?

It's always that one little thought that can throw you so far off of your game. That little tiny  voice that can have a huge impact on your gain. It can be detrimental to your success. Coming in like a vicious storm ruining foundations that have been built leaving behind debris of regret, should haves, would haves, and could haves. Fear...a simple  four lettered word that can destroy any and everything if you allow it. Fear isn't something that just happens by chance, it's something that is allowed to happened if one is not in the correct mindset. 

Let's be honest, I'm not saying that fear won't appear but it's what's done once it does make itself present. You have to be so consumed  and wrapped up in your vision that what you see in your peripheral does not matter. PERIPHERAL VISION: all that is visible to the eye outside the CENTRAL area of FOCUS; side vision. This is the season of tunnel vision it is imperative that we focus in on our dreams and goals. 

2 Timonthy 1:7 For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power,love and self-discipline.

Everything I blog about is not only a reminder to my readers but also myself. I deal with anxiety and the thoughts of fear but I've told myself long ago I wouldn't allow that to rule my life. 

Write a vision and make it plain.

With Love <3

Refreshing

SPRING IS FINALLY HERE

I REPEAT....SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!!!!! 

Whew Lord I don't think you know just how excited I am about this warm sun kissed weather. The warmth of the sun, blossoming of the flowers, and birds chirping. With spring being the season of renewal, growth, and let's not forget REBIRTH! What's more perfect than applying that to your closet. Carrie what do you mean by that? I'm glad you ask, the word rebirth in fashion means taking something old from another season and rocking it in another. I like to call these transitional pieces. It's defiantly cost efficient and it not only allows your own creativity to come out but it forces you to recreate looks. 

This pleated butterfly skirt is one of my favorite pieces. Not just because I thrifted it and it was dirt cheap. I actually wore this in the fall and winter months. Paired it with sweaters, denim shirts, and riding boots. 

Tips for transitional pieces in the Spring

•Pair it with lighter colors. Brighten up some of your darker pieces by pairing it with spring colors. 

• Crop tops are always a go to when wearing a long skirt. A little skin is always fun but remember to be modest. 

•Sandals and wedges add a nice femine touch as well as nice colorful spring colored jewelry.

•Have fun with it, don't over think it!!! 

Remember fashion is an Art, your body is the canvas. Let's all be Picasso!!! 

Tuxedo Affair

Now we all know everything I wear is based upon my mood for that day. This particular day I actually decided to shop in my own closet. After running around like a chicken with my head cut off looking for something to wear. I knew I wanted something spring like but every dress I purchased didn't do enough for me. They didn't give me that grown and sexy look I was looking for. Sitting on my bed releasing all of my frustrations as I freaked out about having "nothing" to wear my outfit idea came to me. 

What's sexier than an all white tuxedo blazer with black trimming? Paring this popping statement piece with pink pants gave me just what I was looking for. This outfit oozed sexy femininity, definitely caused heads to turn. 

My simple black and white shoes pulled my outfit together perfectly!! 

Outfit Details

•Blazer: Target 

•Black Top: Rainbow

•Pink Pants: Target

•Heels: Burlington 

The fashion steal of the night definitely were my shoes they only cost me $9.99!!! I know right that's a bargain I couldn't say no!! Now imma be completely honest these shoes hurt like hell BUT once you get a insole you'll be fine. Next time I wear them I'll make sure it's just dinner or somewhere I can't sit and cross my legs and look pretty.
