I Ain't Here For That #2

Got some (more) stuff I ain't here for, y'all......

#PeopleBe

I was minding my own business watching The Cleveland Show and Rallo said "People be tall." And iDied.

That was SO hilarious to me! 1. because I use that hashtag a lot #PeopleBe and 2. Because I dig Rallo. So I thought I would tell yall some other stuff that People Be.

In The Fashionista's Closet: Kriss Kross

Remember the rap duo, Kriss Kross known for wearing their clothes backwards in the early 90's? Yeah that's me (and the kid from Reed Between the Lines, he always wears his jeans inside out.) I wore this cardigan look for the first time when I was in Houston, here are a couple of pics that were taken then:

Me with Reiko's little fashionista stepdaughter (she says that she's not stylish but she will definitely give her opinion on what she doesn't like, lol!)

Clutch: DSW

Shoes: Michael Kors

Me with my ace, God's Favorite Shoes.

 I wore the look again when I ventured out to the Dallas Museum of Art with a couple of friends to see the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art. It was surreal, a little creepy and....breathtaking. I literally gasped when I went into the last room of the exhibition.

No photographs were allowed and they were watching us like hawks to make sure that we didn't take any either. The jewelry that they used to style the looks was Ba-na-nas *in Rachel Zoe voice.*

I wanted to cry at the fact that I couldn't take pics, it was so inspiring. 

BUT I couldn't have taken pics even if I wanted to because when it was time for me to take these pics, my camera battery was...dead. Thanks to Bethany for doing me a solid and using her camera phone to take my photos.

Conversation with a friend about my cardi:

Him: Is your sweater on backwards?

Me: Yep.

Him: You did that on purpose?

Me: Yeah. You don't like it?

Him: It's definitely....different....it's you.

Me: Ummm hmmm.

Him: Can guys do that or is this just for women?

Me: I don't want ANY dude doing this...

Him: 'Cept maybe Kanye.

Me: LOL! Yeah Kanye can rock it....

Earrings: Aldo

Jeans: Mango

Clutch: Rummage Sale

Shoes: Jessica Simpson Waleo

If you have a minute, check out the video of JPG at the DMA. The exhibition, "From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk" runs until February 12, 2012.

In The Fashionista's Closet: Short and Sweet

I am working a second job again so I have been super busy and I really relish my time off these days. Which means I am not wasting my time with foolishness. People have been doing some shady things and think that I don't pick up on it but I'm not stupid, I'm just choosing to overlook it and will still treat them the same way. Someone told me that you move people around in your life according to what kind of friend they are to you but the trick is that they never know they have been moved to another area of your life. That's the hard part for me....

I was so tired today I considered taking a nap in the parking lot at McDonald's before I went to my second job. (I didn't want to take a nap in the parking garage, that would just be weird.)

Crop top: Thrifted

Pants: Diane von Furstenberg

Bag: Shopping party

In The Fashionista's Closet: Suckas Need Not Apply

Let's get one thing straight: I hate dating. I hate that whole "So, what do you do, where are you from, have you ever been married" ritual that comes with it. The uncertainty of "Does he like me, is he looking for something serious, is he secretly married with six kids" questions that creep into my head when I meet a potential suitor. 

I think I hate dating so much because I'm no good at it. Either I like you right away or it's not happening. I have to feel some type of connection with someone to even go out with them. And don't give me that "Well you can learn to like him, give him a chance" bit because I cannot. I rely on my instincts, if we have a conversation and I feel that a guy is dumb (i.e. uses the word "dramatical"), is looking for a booty call or is socially awkward I will let him know that we are not compatible and leave it at that.

I gave a guy my number recently and he sent me the same text message THREE separate days with a photo attached to remind me of who he was. REALLY, dude? If you think that you're that forgettable after a couple of days, then I can't help you. I personally think that he really liked the photo of himself and wanted me to see him looking his 'best'. Either way, that was the end of that. I've learned that dating someone that you don't really like for convenience or to "get back out there" has disastrous results. Di-sa-strous. (I'm still kicking myself for that one.)

I was with my last boyfriend for eight years and we broke up a little over a year ago. It's hard to be vulnerable to opening yourself back up after disappointment and heartbreak. I'm not exactly sure how to navigate the dating waters but I do believe that there is someone out there specifically for me. Someone who is okay with my semi-messiness, my love of shopping and my Jay-Z jones. Someone who is God fearing and honest, who wants to be committed and married and who thinks that I am and treats me like the best gift ever. And who doesn't mind taking my pics for my blog. Amen.

A little swagger would be nice and have certain skills that I won't name here because my mom reads this so I gotta keep it PG.

 Someone who will laugh with me, everyday, no matter how big the problems may seem....
