Girl,You Shop In The Men’s Section!

Flannel Shirt

Hey Yall, looks like we made it to Friday, Which means the weekend is here. I always like to try and make the best of my weekends because they go by super fast. So when it comes to weekend attire, I like to try and keep it comfy since I dress up on weekdays. With it being winter time in New England I have to make sure to wear warm clothing while still looking cute.

The coldness tends to mess everyone up when it comes to displaying your best fashion. That’s why for weekends I’m a huge lover of flannel T-Shirts, and Vandal Collective totally won me over with this Flannel Shirt. I think everyone should own at least two flannel shirts in their wardrobe. You can use a flannel t-shirt literally in every season. In colder months I wear it so I can be warm and comfy. While in the warmer months it’s a great add-on to tie around your waist for a statement piece or to use when it gets a little chilly outside. The Albertson Flannel Shirt I’m wearing is a Men’s shirt that was gifted to me for Christmas. I love the fact the material is super soft and warm.Not to mention it has a added feature of a hood and I’m a huge lover of anything with a hood.

If you’re looking for something comfy to wear to relax in check out Vandal Collective. Even though this is a site mainly targeted to males, the remarkable thing about being a girl is we can go to the men’s sections and make their clothes look just as good if not even better. Plus if you don’t see anything for you maybe you’ll see something for that special guy in your life. It’s always nice to spoil your man with a little something here and there.

Ashley Stewart Never Fails Me

Ashley Stewart Box pleated skirt

Now with 2017 in full swing, I had to kick off the new year with an outfit that would turn heads. While shopping at Ashley Stewart, I came a across a beautiful box pleated skirt. Now me being only 5’1 and plus size I’m a huge a fan of box pleated styles. Ashley Stewart always has my best interest at heart when it comes to box pleated skirts. What caught my attention most about this skirt was the print screamed: ” 24 K Magic” ( probably because that’s currently my favorite song).

So, of course, I brought the skirt and paired a whole look together to make my outfit complete. I love the fact the skirt cinched my waist and had a little flair to it. Box-pleated skirts always work for my shorter frame and are a staple in my wordrobe. I decided to pair my skirt with a cute bodysuit a jacket and was ready for whatever was thrown my way.

If you’re shorter women like me, I say anything that is box pleated is the best way to go when buying dresses or skirts. Box pleated styles not only make shorter women appear so much taller it gives off that elegant feel with showing just enough skin. I love showing off a little leg action for the people ha ha. If you are interested in buying the Geo Jacquard Box Pleated Skirt, it’s currently on sale at Ashley Stewart for $18.89…..Now with a skirt like that and a price that great it’s a must have in any closet.

20 Ways To Make 2017 The Best Year Ever

December 28, 2016 · 14 Comments

Hey everyone, I know I been a little MIA with the Holidays around things get a little cray cray. But hey I’m back and today we are discussing 20 ways to jump-start 2017. So as we all know it’s that time of the month you start hearing folks say “New Year New Me” well… we not doing that over in these parts. Now I don’t really believe in making New Year’s resolutions. Most of the time we never end up keeping them, and then when we don’t stick with it we feel like a failure .Resolutions should be about embracing a different way of thinking. I feel like the real key to making your life amazing this next year is to find what makes you happy and do whatever it takes to get it and keep it. Here’s are some ways to make this the best year of your whole life.

  1.Do something that scares the crap out of you.(maybe I’ll touch a spider lol)

2.Spend time with people who make life better.

3.Take a day off just because you want to.

4.Pick up a new hobby that makes you happy.

5.Read a book that will change your life.

6.Eat healthier.(or at least try)

7.TRAVEL! Theres simply so much to see in the world.

8.Get rid of things (and people!) you don’t need, positive vibes only.

9.Find a productive way to channel stress instead of letting it get you.

10.Don’t take everything too seriously. SMILE 

11.Make time just for yourself sometimes you need to just zen out

12.Eat something you’ve never tried there’s such an abundance of food in the world

13.Finish something you started.

14.Work toward reaching a career goal you always thought of.

15.Forgive someone.

16.Start or even add to a savings account.

17.Treat yourself to something you’ve been wanting forever.

18. Volunteer for a cause you’re passionate about.

19.Organize ( Room, House, Shoes anything get it in formation)

20.Most of all just live life you only get one so enjoy it

 

Here’s some recaps of fun times that made my 2016 so fun!!!!
