Cobalt, Sapphire, or Royal?

It's the weekend fashion friends!

I hope you all have some fun plans or major relaxation on tap for your weekend.

Yesterday, I wore my favorite color to work....BLUE!  I love blue...all shades, but my favorite would be ...

Cobalt...or is it sapphire?  I call it Royal Blue.

I've seen this shade called a few things and I am ashamed to admit, I don't know the difference (if any)between all the shades and it is supposed to be my favorite. Remember back in the day when Yellow was yellow, red was red and blue was blue?  Then crayola wanted to get all fancy and come up with all these 'new' colors which lead way to the fashion world getting crazy with it. 

 Melon and eggplant are more than just things you eat.  They are now colors that should be in your wardrobe.  How 'bout that canary?  Nope not talkin' about Tweety.  I am talking about that color that makes for some fierce color blocking with some honeysuckle and mint. 

I struggle with knowing what the new and more fashion forward name to call each color. 

And then when I start to get it, the fashion industry changes it up. 

Ecru, blush, ivory, cream and beige is all off-white to me. 

I guess if I am honest with myself, it will take me a minute to understand that chartreuse is more than just green (or is it a yellow?) and periwinkle is not quite lavender... or is it?  Oh, forget it!

  

Will I be less of a fashionista if I just say what I know each color to be...blue, red and yellow?  It may not sound all fancy but you all will get the point, right?  I give it to all you fashion bloggers who are on top of your color name game.  It makes for a good read when all the fancy color names pop up.  

I will just continue to get my color lessons from all of you who know what the heck you're talking about.  I will continue to try but if I don't get it quite right, do forgive me...please!

Bling Blingin' Baby!

Hey my fellow Divas,

Greetings from Myrtle Beach!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and was able to not over indulge like I did.  I so missed the boat yet another Thanksgiving.  I ended up catching the worst ever head cold and have been miserable.  Poooor me.  Today is black Friday and I managed to not over indulge in this area.  Maybe because I just didn't feel well enough to go out.  Gotta find the silver lining somewhere.  For those who went out, I hope you got everything you set out to get and manage to keep your cool when the black Friday attitude reared its ugly head.  You know one that creeps out when someone steals your parking space that you were patiently waiting on.  This is definitely a day you have to pack your patience.

Last night, despite my inablitiy to breathe through my nose and my throbbing ears from pressure build up, I had a good time spending Thanksgiving with my family.  Dinner was good as usual and as I mentioned before, I ate entirely too much!  (my tastebuds were working!)  Well...I just wanted to share my Thanksgiving outfit.  I think I look pretty good for being sick as dog.  These pictures were taken when the Theraflu kicked in...lol.

 These genuine leather pants were a whopping $5 from the thrift store.  Actually they were priced at $9.99 but I got them for 50% off on half off day.  She shoots...and SHE SCOOOOORES!

The red python blouse is over 10 years old from NY & Co. This blouse is one of the many reason why my closet is overflowing.  I hate to throw or give away clothes.   You never know when a trend will come back around the corner.  The animal print trend is hot right now and this oldie but goodie looks like I just bought it yesterday.  Now if I had given it away someone else would be looking all trendy and what not...lol.

I was bling blingin' in my Afro Lady rhinestone tee which was purchased from

 Mommy Bling Boutique

 Me and my men :-)

Enough Fabulosity To Go Around!

Hey Divas!  It's Monday and back on this grind.

Here is what I am wearing today but first...

I wanna shout out my baby boy and his football team.  They are now STATE AYF Champions!!!  They have had a very successful season...and LONG! Not over yet though...on to the Regionals. Saturday my family and I went out to the game layered down and ready to brave the cold.  Well it turned out to be a beautiful day and we were peeling layers off all day.  Had I known it would have been nice, I would have been camera ready and given an example of how to go to a football game fabulous and comfy...but oh well.

The next thing I want to mention is last night I watched Black Girls Rock on BET and there are two things I want to talk about.  The first being a statement from Taraji P. Henson.  She said us black women (women in general, for that matter) need to be more supportive of one another.  I totally agree.  It is a big pet peeve of mine how we totally have the crabs in a barrel mentality.  To relate this topic to fashion blogging...there is enough fabulosity to go around!  Am I the only one who gets excited to find a new fashion blogger?  I LOVE to see everyone's approach to fashion and WORKIN it hard!!!  Which brings me to my last topic from last night's show...my favorite look of the night.  Ms. MJB!!! Love the look! 

Fabulosity hunny!
