I don't wear denim often, but when I do I like to dress it up.  Today I was feeling a little mellow marvelous and didn't feel like getting as sassy as I normally do, so I pulled out some fun jewelry and paired it with some jeans and gladiator style sleeveless top and some fun heels.  This outfit is polished enough to get me through the business I need to take care of without having to pull out all my extra outfit jazz.  Here's a peek at my OOTD.  Thanks for reading, have a great day!

I don't feel that casual can't be cute and well put together.  Just because its a dress down day doesn't mean you can't make it spicy in the process.  This outfit consists of a very special style dress by Michael Michael Kors collection that I happen to own in a few different colors.  I love this dress because its classic, comfortable, easy to throw on and I can wear it by itself or add a pair of leggings to it to alter the look and feel of it.  On this day, I chose to add a pair of charcoal leggings to my red blaze chain tie dress, bottomed off with some gladiator sandals.  Here's a peak at my OOTD.

Today's OOTD is just a simple outfit that I truly threw on.  I am have gotten to a point where I really don't think to hard about the outfits, I just put them on and see what works.  I may have to alter a few pieces here and there if something doesn't look right, but that is the joy of being confident and comfortable enough with my choices to be willing to experiment with my outfits without fear.  Sometimes things work sometimes they don't but I am always willing to at least try it out.  Don't be afraid to play in your own closet, as you will be surprised what you can come up with.  I can understand some may need a push to get started, but once you are guided in the right direction, have fun learn to be creative and express yourself in a way that only you can!  Here's a peek at what I put together.

Hello my dear BSM readers, my apologies for the lack of post for the past week, as I was out of town working in Washington, DC so time was limited for anything other than work and the slight bit of sleep I barely squeezed in.  Of course I would love to recap the great city delights that I was able to experience while in one of my favorite cities ever.  They don't call it "Chocolate City" for nothing!  As I mentioned in a previous post it is great to see successful Black folks doing their thing in such a a powerful city! It is equally great to see students striving for greatness at the well known HBCU campus of Howard University.  While I did not personally attend, it has always been a favorite of mine since I was a little girl, and I have known a lot of friends that have proudly graduated from there as well. In addition to visiting the Howard Campus, I also had an interesting visit to RNC Headquarters, a visit to the White House for a briefing on "My Brother's ...

So I am all about dresses when I travel as they are easy to pack and accessorize.  Whether a necklace, belt, or even a blazer you can completely build a simple to elegant professional look around a simple dress.  On this particular day, we had a few stops to make with our convention group, one which included a luncheon on the famous HBCU campus of Howard University.  It was a special luncheon that highlights amazing newspaper publishers that have since passed but left a legacy with their hard work and dedication of publishing a Black newspaper.  So of course I wanted to bring my a game for this wonderful day of tributes. I chose a simple black belted sheath dress, paired with a jazzed up pearl necklace, patent pumps, and a dressy boyfriend blazer.  Here's a peek at my outfit for the occasion and this beautiful scenery is on the beautiful campus of Howard University from the the balcony of the Hilltop Lounge in the Armour J. Blackburn University Center. ...
