Layers: Dots, Stripes & Leopard

Hey heyyyyy!!!

Do you know how hard it is to stay motivated to go outside and take pictures when it is nippy?  Well...let us just say VERY hard.   For all of my fellow bloggers who live in the cold regions, I am sure you can certainly relate.   I have been wanting to get out there and take some but when I think about the cold, I say "ummmmm, nevermind" hence the almost month gap since my last post.

Yesterday was absolutely beautiful in the DMV so I got out there and posed a lil bit.

I am so ready for the weather to officially break for spring but one thing I will miss (as I do every year) is winter clothes.  I love layering.  The layered look is my signature go to look.  Every now and then I have to do something little sexy to make my husband swoon but most of the time, this is me.

Spring is definitely one of my favorite time of year.  Nothing like getting in your car on the first great spring Saturday of the season, rolling the windows down with the music on and just going for it.  That is everything! 

 

Speaking of music, certain songs just speak of dropping the imaginary (at least for me) top on the car and grooving down the road.  Anthony Hamilton's "Best of Me" is just perfect for that. 

It is amazing...amazing!

Are you ready for Spring?  You already know...

Layered Run DMC Tee

Greeting greeting greetings!!!

It has been more than a minute and I am soooo ashamed to call myself a blogger.  This time the only thing I can blame is my busy schedule as if we all don't have busy schedules. tsk tsk tsk.

For those who have been following me for a while, you may remember that my boys play football.  Well, this year I took a more active role with my youngest son's team and let me say that this has been major work.More on that later. 

Yesterday I went shopping, to a movie to see Flight and dinner.  This was my outfit of choice.

 

It was a gorgeous day yesterday so I decided to do a couple of layers.

I dressed up my Run DMC tee with some colored jeans, a houndstooth button up and pumps.

 

 

I am quick to layer a tee with a button up. 

Great way to do layers when it is not quite cool enough for a sweater

 

 

The pumps were a good idea until I realized how much I was going to be on my feet. Then I decided to do away with the cute factor and put on my comfy chucks.

 

 

It is amazing sometimes the different tone an outfit takes when you put on flats of some sort.

 

 

 

Houndstooth Button up and Brick Jeans: Thrifted   RunDMC tee: Target (Men's Section)

Pumps: Faryl Robin Sneakers: Converse Chuck Taylor   Bag: Flea Market

 

OK...now back to football.  My youngest son's team is undefeated, repeat conference and state champions going into the regional this coming Saturday.  If they win on Saturday, they will advance to the Nationals in Florida.  This is why I have been so busy.  On top of the regular things that come with extra curricular activites, we have been actively fundraising to raise money for this trip.  Last year we opted to not go and one of the biggest reasons was because we didn't have the money. 

 

Wooohooo!!!  Get em boys!!!

 

With this being said, football season will not be over for another 5 weeks, so I am not going to pretend to be here too much often until after but I will certainly try my best.  Thank you in advance for sticking with me. 

 

Blessings!!!

 

Stay fly and stay tuned!

Tangerine, Lemon and Blueberry!

Hey everybody!

Before I go any further let me say a special hello to all my new peeps! 

I am humbled to have you follow me.  Hugz and blog love to you all! 

Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  I hope you all found some time to reflect on what his efforts mean to your present day life.  I believe that because we've come along way from when Dr. King first set out to get some things changed, we tend to easily forget.  Yes, we've come a long way but we still have a some ways to go. 

Happy Birthday Dr. King! Continue to Rest in Peace!

Next, I would like to say that I have been featured at Black Fashion Bloggers.  This is my first feature!  Yayyy! I want to thank Nika over there for doing the feature and I would be honored if you all would go over there and check it out! 

Now...onto my outfit that I wore to church yesterday.

Tangerine, Lemon and Blueberry...a fruit salad and my fave...houndstooth!

I love how this outfit came together because of the vibrant colors.

The other thing I love about this outfit is that it is mostly thrifted!
