Bout That Life

Yesterday was tough. But instead of me being Team In My Feelings, (I really was, I started crying while I was driving -cryving? when I was running errands, what tha heck???) I decided to focus on what I was grateful for instead.

Two posts in one week!!! Who's awesome????

Naps: I Take That

Who does a blog post 875834573586756734589453282 years later??? I do, that's who. Don't judge me. Well you can, just don't tell me to my face. Hmmmmmm, what can I say about my absence? I could come up with something deep and poetic about "getting my energy balanced" (which is true) but let's just say that I didn't feel like it and leave it at that.  

Game of Life

  Hey y'all. Hey. Thanks to everyone for the kind words from my previous post.

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.

In The Fashionista's Closet: All that Jazz

I found this fun Aztec-y skirt while thrfiting and it's a little big but I wore it anyway. I should have worn a more substantial belt to cinch it but of course I didn't think of it until after I saw my photos.

I attended Jazz Under the Stars at the Dallas Museum of Art last night and it was such a great time! This is exactly the types of events that I like to participate in with grown ups who know more than the latest rap song on the radio. Last night's featured group was Havana NRG and I really wished I knew how to salsa while listening to them and seat dancing. 

You can bring food and drinks and TABs (Tasty Adult Beverages) and enjoy the music. One way to know that I have had a couple of cocktails: my eyes get glassy and really really small.

Exhibit A:

I laughed after seeing these pics and decided to share them anyway even though I didn't think they were "blogworthy".

Jacket: Thrifted

Dress: Marshalls

If you get the opportunity, go out to Jazz Under the Stars and don't forget the TABs!

Happy Friday!

Found! Wide Leg denim

I was catching up on my Tivo'ed Oprah's this weekend and saw an interview that Oprah did with comedian Chris Rock, his wife, Malaak Compton Rock and their daughters, Zhara and Lola. I fell in love with the jeans that Malaak Compton Rock wore on the show and did a mad search for a similar pair of dark denim wide leg jeans. I was unable to find a picture of the pair that Malaak was wearing on the show but I did happen to find some great Paige jeans from Neiman Marcus. I can see these with a fitted white shirt, colorful heels or sandals and a great bag or clutch.

Paige "Hillcrest jeans $198 at Neiman Marcus

Nevis brown clutch $58 at Amici Accesories; White camp shirt $38 at Victoria's Secret; Bandolino green slingback peeptoe $70 at Piperlime
