Basic Black!

Happy Friday Fashion Friends!

 

Today is a simple post and a simple outfit.  I am sporting a basic black outfit punched up just a little with my new favorite scarf and my old zebra print pumps.

 

  I got excited when I found this scarf.  It is a simple way of jazzing up a very basic outfit.  On the days when I am not in the mood to put too much thought into what to wear, I tend to go very basic.  Naturally, right?  When I am feeling like that I go for my "punch pieces" to keep me from falling of the drab cliff.  This is definitely one of my punch pieces and I have been putting some major use to it.

 

 

Today is the start of my Spring Break (I work for a University).  I plan to keep it very simple for a week.  I plan on reorganizing so that I can maximize my wardrobe.  How many of you keep wearing the same things not because you don't have anything to wear but because you don't know what the heck you have in your closet... *raising hand*  Guily as sin, here.

Does this mean that I will not wear my scarf as much? 

Absolutely not...it means that I will find more things to wear with it.

Blouse & Slacks: Thrifted    Scarf & Clutch: Charming Charlie 

Pumps: K&G also worn here.  Cuff:  The streets of NYC

 

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

Thanks for stopping by.

Stay tuned and stay fly!

I Feel Sassy, oh so Sassy!

Happy Monday!  Did you all chip away at that shopping list? Not I.

I so rudely found out this weekend my 13 year old son wants some darn $300 "Beats" headphones for Christmas...IS HE CRAZY?!? Homey can't even keep his room clean and he wants me to drop THREE bills?  I wish I would!  *side eye*

OK, so I have been rocking blazers hard lately.  I set out at the beginning of the season to the thrift stores looking specifically for blazers.  I found several of them and I haven't been able to take them off.  You can do so much with them and they always give an extra added flair to any ensemble.  Also, with me being a curvy chick, they cover a multitude of sin...lol.  Nothing like camouflaging an unsightly bulge with a chic blazer.  Hey, it is what it is.  I celebrate every last one of my curves but I know how to accentuate the positives by letting the focus be on something other than my fluff.  Why not be functional while being fabulous? So again, the blazer does it for me!

In this outfit, I decided to rock out a stark white blazer with all black.  To me, there is nothing like a classic black and white ensemble.  Now, I love color just as much as the next diva but black and white gets me errytime. :-)  I paired the white blazer with a simple fitted turtleneck and my genuine leather skirt (thrifted) and pumped it up with the zebra pumps. 

I feel sassy, oh so sassy!  I feel sassy and classy in whiiite!

The Sassy Ensemble:

Blazer: K&G

Turtleneck: Burlington

Genuine Leather Skirt: Thrifted ($9.99)

Zebra Pumps: K&G

Belt: Burlington

Ditchin' My Football Mom Digs

Greetings my fellow bloggers! 

It has been a typical Saturday for me.  What is typical for me as of late is spending all day on the football field and not being able to accept invites to different events because I'm either too tired or like I already said on the football field.   Today my son's team won the first round of the Regional Tourney!!!  This means we will be right back out there tomorrow for the Championship game.  Go STORM!  It is bittersweet because win or lose this will be the last game for us.  This season started on July 11th.  Can we say looooooong time ago.  The coaching staff and parents have decided to opt out of the Nationals.  It requires too much time, energy and money to take 20+ 8-10 year olds to Orlando.  So the train stops here and we will settle with being the League, the State and hopefully the Regional champions!

As for tonight...I am ditchin' my football mom digs for some diva digs...lol. I am going to a friend's birthday get together she is having at her home. This evening should be full of good food, laughs and fun. Here is what I am wearing. (I had these pics snapped when I shoulda been taking a nap...smh)

 I usually wear this Dolman sleeve turtleneck with skinny jeans and pumps but after today I am tired and I want to be as comfortable as possible. So my wide leg Levis and wedge booties will have to do.

It is nippy out now in the DC metro area so I will wear my motorcycle jacket that I've had forever!  I paid $50 for this baby in Leather Man.  I still can't believe it...lol

 Me and my four-legged baby...Princess :-)

'RANDOMESSNESS'

Hey peeps!  I hope today was a good start to your week.  I usually try to post in the morning but I honestly didn't have much to say and I sat here all evening trying to figure out what I was going to say.  Guess what?  I still don't have anything say.  My weekend was pretty uneventful.  I did hang out with my mom but again nothing post worthy.  So now I will just be random.

Right now, as I type, I am watching The Sing off. Am I the only one who watches?  My faves are Pentatonix and Afro Blue (who I believe will be going home tonight)...but all the top 5 groups are entertaining.

Today was one of the few Monday's that what I wore to church the day before is not what I wore to work.  I couldn't do that because I just wore this outfit on Thursday.  That wouldn't have been cool.  That makes me wonder...am I the only person who likes to have AT LEAST two weeks before repeating an outfit?  Please don't tell me I am the only one. I rather spend my money on shoes and not therapy. *sigh*

OK...so these burnt orange (not red as the pics might display) slacks were thrifted and the one thing I didn't care for was the lack of length.  I decided to take out the hem before I wear them again.  I took them off yesterday and whattaya know...the previous owner must have been a shortie, even shorter than me because I'm vertically challenged.  There was a neat hem in them and all I had to do was take it out.  The originally hem was there. 

I originally decided to take advantage of the shortness of the slacks by wearing these booties to showcase the detail on them. I guess I will now have to find a new outfit to showcase them... oh well.

The Fit:

Blazer: Thrifted

Slacks: Thrifted

Booties: Rugged Warehouse

Turtleneck: Don't remember had it for years

Zebra skinny belt: Target

Earrings: DIY
