I won a $100 gift card to Vintage Martini courtesy of Elissa from Dress with Courage! Can't wait to go there, Elissa and I will plan a visit and I'll show you what I score!

You know I love those bags, don't you?



I just received my booties that I won from Leslie over at Fashion du Jour and they are so cute! I may plan an outfit strictly to show you how I will rock them in the fall because it's a little warm to wear suede booties around now.

Thanks ladies!

In The Fashionista's Closet: Comfort is Key

I needed to wear something comfy today, I had to take an exam so I needed to be able to layer in case it was too hot/too cold AND wear my flat boots for the comfortable-ness factor. I am hoping to be certified in another area to teach and I should have the results back in 2-3 days. *Fingers, toes, and eyes are crossed!*

 I found this scarf in the hallway of my apartment when I was moving in. I knocked on several doors trying to find the owner but no one claimed it. Don't judge me. (I washed it.)

Boots: Marshalls

Yesterday I subbed for a first grade class that I've never had before and I swore I saw Lucifer himself in their eyes. There were pencils thrown and hitting kids in the head, one kid could not read a sentence out loud but he wrote the B word on his paper AND spelled it correctly. There was a little girl with blue hair weave, a kid named Walter (who names a kid Walter?) and a little girl that I suspect stole my 75 cents off the desk.

 Coat: Club Monaco

 But the highlight of my time (sentence?) was the brother of the kid from Andre/De'Andre fame. He kept finding excuses to touch me and I finally realized that he liked my sweater. (Seen here. No pics yesterday, sorry.) He kept saying "It's soft. It feels so comfortable." Fast forward to later that day and my friend's four year niece touched the sweater and said, "I like your sweater. It feels comfortable" so I guess the word of the day is 'comfortable.'

Jacket previously seen here.

I wasn't planning on mixing patterns today but I'm glad it worked out that way, I've been obsessing over it. Here's a couple of pics of my thrifting partner in crime and her mix of prints:

So cute!

By the way, for those of you who watch Fantasia's reality show, Fantasia For Real on VH-1, I ran into her Aunt Bunny today while out looking for earrings. I had forgotten that she was from Dallas. She was so sweet and down to earth. I figure this meeting brings Reiko closer to Oprah since Fantasia knows Oprah so we're almost there! My friend Deatrice is mad that I didn't give her phone number to Aunt Bunny to give to Fantasia because she loves Fantasia but I'm thinking Fantasia might be a little busy right now, Trice.

I will announce the winner of the Fashion Nette-work/Designer Chatter Giveaway tomorrow!

In The Fashionista's Closet: Peachy Keen

I felt very "sexy secretary" today, I think because I rarely wear anything too fitted these days. I've had a boost of confidence since I started working out and now I'm back into my favorite jeans.

Coat: Marshalls

Turtleneck: Zara

Pencil Skirt: Thrifted

Tights: Target (You can't see them but they're striped and textured)

Shoes: Michael Kors

Bag: Thrifted

I was so in love with my hair today even though it lost some of its definition. This was a twistout done on dry hair using shea butter mixed with grapeseed oil. I used to use shea butter regularly and I've been out of it for months so I think that's why I have been so frustrated with my hair and the disastrous results. Today I had big, soft moisturized hair, just like I like it! (Even though my mom calls me Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons when I wear my hair big like this.) 

Now look at Bob. Now back to me. Now back to Bob. See the resemblance? It's okay, it just means Bob uses shea butter too! (If you have no clue as to what I'm talking about with my hair, please proceed to the next sentence.)

Two things I keep wearing like they're going out of style:

1. My chain belts/vintage necklace layered look, they go with everything!

2. These Michael Kors platforms, I heart them! They are comfy too!
