Hmmm...what to wear? what to wear?

So when i woke up this morning I was trying to think of something to wear to go out with one of my friends to breakfast. As I was thinking of what to wear, my mind wondered off. My mind wonders all the time! so yea...I started wondering what other people think about when they buy clothes/get dressed to leave the house. I try really hard not to be a judgmental person...i don't think its judging really. but I often see people and wonder why they wouldn't want to look good and feel comfortable when they left the house. Like it literally blows my mind! Like I'm lightweight obsessed with it. Okay let me give my disclaimer...I know that everyone is not a fashionista...i mean shoot, I'm not either. But I like to look nice. Here's what goes through my head when I am shopping for clothes or just looking at items hoping to stumble upon something. When i find an item that I'm considering, here's what goes through my head: "can i afford it?"(like really afford it...and be able to eat for the rest of the month), "do i really like it?" (really thinking about how much I like it and NOT if it is a popular fashion), and "will i be comfortable in this?". Thinking of these few things before purchasing def keeps me away from being broke AND keeps me looking pretty much delish whenever I head out! LOL!



But seriously though, dressing by other people's standards always leaves you looking awkward. If something isn't in your size (your actual size...not your ideal size), just leave it...that simply means it's not for you! I really think that every person has the potential to look and feel beautiful. You just have to get dressed for you...not others! What is cute on you cant be based on what is cute on others. Picking out clothes to head out on a daily basis is so much easier if you first get it right in the stores! Happy Shopping! :)

What is Fashion Without Inspiration?


Ok so the other day I got really pumped because I one of my best friends said "someone gave you a compliment today". (I'll have to tell you all about my friends in a post real soon...they're awesome!!!) So of course I'm like "well what was it?" Cuz I'm a girl and we lovvvvve compliments!!! :) So apparently one of his friends that I don't know said that I have style. Well ok! I can surely take that and run with it!!! Haha! Ok so that got me thinking..what about me suggests that I have style?? I'm definitely not a model and I don't wear a whole lot of brand name things.. so what is it??? hmmmm... Well the fact that I think very highly of myself has a lot to do with it ..but of course, i dont think more highly of myself than I should ;) *Romans 12:3* So when I get dressed, my style comes from what inspires me. The fact that I'm the only one like me...well shoot! That's inspiring enough!! lol! Naw but seriously.. I think alotta times y we see so many fashion no-no's is because ppl forget to focus on what inspires them..and instead focus on how much they want to look like someone else!! I love fashion..iLove to feel beautiful.. But it comes naturally because of the knowledge that I am beautiful no matter what I have on!! Sooooo the key to fashion that will make someone say that you have style: love yourself and figure out what inspires you! Don't be a copy of someone else...rock u to the fullest!! :)

well since im watching SundayBest

I think it just ran right through me that they told this guy to step his "performance" game up! I must have fallen into a warp zone. This is not American Idol...this is a spiritual thing...a Christ thing..(Well it should be anyways). Side note: another thing that irks me is that its called Sunday Best as opposed to Sunday's Best. Where is the apostrophe. Shaking my head at BET! But my soapbox on why BET has to hate black people is surely another sermon for another day! And since I'm still ranting about this show, let me say that I am tired of people thinking that because someone can sing, they are therefore anointed. That is clearly a misconception. Anointing comes with the power of God, if you are just singing and do not know HIM, ummmmmm guess what? You are simply a good singer and NOT an anointed vessel of God.
