Hey yall. I changed my hair. I'm still getting used to it. It's much bigger in person.

I'm on Spring Break this week and I have had to pause getting my life so hard because I have caught the sick.

Love and Kindness

As I've been furiously writing in my journal about my goals, hopes and accomplishments for the upcoming year, I have been reflecting on the past year of my life.

In The Fashionista's Closet: Where's Juanette? Like Waldo But Different

ONE guess as to where I went this weekend.
Was it A.) A teacher conference where I wore a sweater with an apple and a worm coming out of it. B.) A weekend of ratchetness and wickedom with an unnamed source?

or C.) Houston?

You're right! B and C! I made my way to H-town where Reiko and I crammed a semi-concert, a wedding, a birthday gathering, brunch and a little bit of shopping all into one weekend!

My wedding look.
The chain necklaces that I am wearing? Two belts that I doubled!

I am happy to report that I was on my best behavior. *Insert halo ring here*

As well as my "best behavior" can be at least....

Do you remember THIS skirt? Well I had it shortened and they did a phenomenal job.

I enjoy it shorter so much better!

Shoes: Guess

For the birthday gathering I switched shoes, these have a higher heel but are surprisingly more comfortable.

I had some other pics that I won't show because I was literally dancing while getting my pics taken.

Is that a disorder? Because I think that me and Reiko's hubby can get a check!
But he sings too so that's just crazy....

Shirt: I wanted a fitted shirt so I snagged this from the kid's dept. Thrifted

Skirt: Thrifted by Reiko

Clutch: Rummage sale

Shoes: Jessica Simpson Waleo

Big shoutout to my ace Sonya for seeing this outfit vision in her head! 

Next stop: Texas Style Council this weekend! 

Are you going??? 

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!)

Cardigan (Worn Backwards): Forever 21

Clutch: DSW

Pants: Diane vonFurstenburg

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
