Merry Christmas!

Sweater- Volunteers of Amer $5.00 

Jeans- Goodwill $3.00

Hair- wash&go 

Happy Holidays everyone!!!!! Remember Jesus is truly the "reason for the season"! We often get so caught up in the hustle and bustle of getting the perfect gift and perfect holiday outfit that we forget what Christmas is all about. As we celebrate our saviors birthday, remember it's not about gifts and how much money you spend...it's about quality time with family and friends and being a blessing to others. Learn to appreciate things that we often take for granted and remember...there's always someone that would give anything to be in your shoes! Shop smart and spend wisely.  This season stress a little less, smile a little more, and give out lots of hugs!!!! :-)  Merry Christmas!

I can't sign off without addressing this hair...Go BIG or Go Home! That's my model :-) I achieved this look using Organix Coconut milk conditioner, Organix Kukui oil conditioner, (home made essential oil mixture), and last Longaid curl gel. Check out my Facebook page for Natural Hair Secret Life of Curls for tips on taking care and styling natural hair.

Simple Chic

Hat- Charming Charlie

Necklace- Goodwill $2.99

Dress- Goodwill $3.00

Overcoat- Goodwill $5.00

Over-the-knee socks- Forever21

Boots- Aldo

There's always that one item that you find in a thrift store that leaves you thinking...who in the heck would give this item away???  Well...my thoughts exactly on this stunning green over-jacket! I mean the color all by its self is "show stopping"! I decided to keep the rest of the outfit simple as to keep all attention on the coat and statement necklace. 

Over-the-knee socks are an old favorite of mine that happen to be a huge trend right now. 

Simple, Modest, and Chic!

Mix-Match Denim!

Top- Goodwill $1.99

Jeans- Goodwill (Levi) $4.49

Boots- Aldo

Hair- Twistout on wet hair

For those of you that love for all of your clothes to match. Those that are afraid of mixing patterns...this post is for you. Baby steps is key.  Here's a simple and subtle way to get comfortable going against the fashion grain.  Take 2 denim pieces with different shades and pair them together. The higher the contrast the better it looks! The great thing about denim is it's like having a blank canvas. Any accessories you  pair will go well. I kept it simple with browns but, I could have added color (red, yellow, green etc). Or, how about animal print for fun! The possibilities are endless!!! Have fun with fashion. Never be afraid to take risks!

Hair- Braidout on stretched hair

Fall is my absolute favorite season of the year. I love the beautiful colors, the smell of the fresh crisp air. Apple Orchards and Pumpkin Patches. Most of all though, I love the fashion! 

Plaid will be making a come back this year. You'll notice tons of Celebs rocking their plaid in all sorts of fun ways (coats, shoes, skirts, etc.) Don't be afraid to mix plaid with other patterns. Dress it up or down. Have fun with it. Check out your nearest thrift store to add plaid to your wardrobe w/o hurting your pockets.

Skirt- Goodwill $3.49

Shoes- Converse

Hair- Braidout on stretched hair using Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie

I must confess that I have never been a huge fan of Foreman Mills. It's just big and cluttered but, I quickly realized that every now and then they have the cutest little tops and at unbeatable prices! 

I promise I do own pants!!!! I just feel so pretty when I wear skirts and dresses! 

I try to display my personality through my style. Im not defined by society or trends! Typically you wouldn't pair a crop top, pencil skirt and chucks...but that's the beauty of it!
