Devil In A Red Dress!

You Hussy!

I remember growing up the color red was seen as a "fast" or "hoe" color. I'm laughing as I write this. I can hear the older church women talking about some, hussy in the red dress(insert “Mmm hmm,” and “Jesus,” here LOL). After hearing that from them, and other women, I've always shied away from the sultry color.  No red lipstick, no red dresses… especially, no red nail polish.

You're only bold online...

Social Media Confidence vs Real World Confidence

You take pictures for the likes in swimsuits, bodycon, crop tops… you name it. You post it to every social media site and BOOM—you're loved all over the web! But, what happens when the phone and computer are off, and you're in the real world? 

Ask yourself, do you still feel good about who you are off-line?  Are you still confident when you hear comments and feel judgmental stares from strangers? Do you think confidence and love can be found in a clothing item? Do you know that it’s ok to not be confident every single day? That confidence is something that has to be worked on daily?

Are you looking at bloggers and models as inspiration or people to copy?

Nothing is original.

"Steal from something that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination."-Jim Jarmusch

Let's be honest, we're all inspired by other people's fashion. There's nothing wrong with being inspired,as long as it is not a direct copy, and you're making it your own! I was inspired to wear this neon green kimono, after seeing my friends, Ivory Jinelle, and Candace Nelson, wear their kimonos with pants, and skirts (check out their awesome sites).  Who doesn't like a long train? Are you a fan of the kimono trend?

Summertime Fine

I know my title is cheesy, but admit it, you love it! Anyways, I just got back from my mini vacation in Miami and Orlando, and already I miss it dearly!  Seventy degree weather, drinks, no clothes, and overflowing sunshine! Sigh... I'll get over being back in this weird NYC weather soon  enough. The sun managed to come out the other day, so I put on my best, I-miss-my-vacation-so-I'm-pretending-I'm-still-there, outfit (LOL!). 

Here I am

Be Blessed...Not really.

Backhanded compliments!

I Wanna Thank You!

"Spread Love it's the Brooklyn way."-B.I.G.

I really don't have to much to say. I just wanted to tell you guys thank you for all of the love you've shown me lately. At times I wonder if anyone understands my style. Hell, I don't understand my style. Either way, thank you for every kind word and well wish. It means more to me than words can express. Please continue to inspire me just as much as I inspire you. God Bless!

Boy Bye!

I'm Pretty Period!

As women we all hear those so called compliments that we hate.  The back handed kind that are given to us if we are deemed too short, too tall, too skinny or too fat.

I'm going on a vacation!

Flower Child.

Hellooooooooooo Spring! I'm so happy to see warmer weather even if it does come with rain. Nothing says spring like floral and bright colors! Yes, I'm wearing my hat again. I don't know why I love it so much. It just goes with everything.

Aphrodite, its all in the wrap dress.

Aphrodite, the goddess of love, beauty and pleasure. 

You're so basic!

Another Bodycon Dress? 

My left boob is bigger than my right, so I'm always checking to make sure they're even! lol (TMI,judge me!)

My friends and I talk about fashion all the time. One topic that always comes up is the overload of bodycon dresses seen from bloggers and fellow plus size women. I LOVE a bold print bodycon dress. It's one of the few items that look amazing on me.

However, some of my fashionista friends stay far away from bodycon dresses. They say it's too simple, so basic, or typical plus size wear. We occasionally shake our heads at the overload of mesh and cut out dresses that show our spanx and at backless bodycon dresses that show it all.
