Outfit of the Days

I decided that I wanted to start doing outfit of the days. This is part of me opening up for 2014 and making myself happy. I have taken a pledge to plunge more into things that I like and make me happy. Not only make me happy but make me feel and look good! What better way than to express myself through fashion. I kind of feel like I'm jumping on a bandwagon, but if that bandwagon is willing to take me to a happy place, I'm all for it!

OOTD--"Stripe Me Down"

Top--Charlotte Russe

Bottoms--Target

Shoes--UrbanOg

Shades--Forever21

As I was writing this blog, I had the GRAND idea to get my fiance involved with OOTD as well.  I figured maybe we can be a tag team/duo like Jay & Bey...minus the rich and fame that comes along with it.  A girl can dream can't she!? :)

His OOTD--"Dos Equis"

Top--Old Navy

Shorts--Aeropostale

Shoes--Nike (Foot Action)

I We will be back to do Outfit of the Days, and if not together, at least one of us...that being me!  

Peace & Happiness!

Virginia is for Lovers...NOT!

Last night before going to bed, my fiance started fussing about how he was glad he left Virginia and all the other bs behind.  Normally when he starts going on rants like that it's because of something he's seen of Facebook.  I'm a Virginian currently living as a Floridian.  Moved to Florida almost eight months ago and haven't looked back since.  I lived on the Peninsula, reppin' the 757 to the fullest.  Although I rep where I'm from and will get into a 757-804 argument in a quick minute, I'm glad that I left too (757-804 only understand that beef).  And the funny thing about Virginia as a state is that the states motto is "Virginia is for Lovers."  I don't understand who or how that motto came about as Virginia is a Commonwealth state.  And for those who live in Commonwealth states, you know ain't nothing there but high taxes and a bunch of bullshit!  How is it that I have to pay personal property taxes on MY car that I pay a car note for annually?!?  What kind of sense does that make!?!  I understand property taxes on a house, but a car???  *off my soapbox*  Any who, I talked to my fiance this morning on my way to work and he went into more detail about why he was ranting and was glad he left Virginia.  He came across a friend's status  on Facebook talking about people hating for no reason and trying to bring other people down and it's so true.  Not all, but some people in VA are like crabs in a bucket.  Once they see that person making moves or just growing into themselves as an adult, they wanna pull them down.  The crazy part about that is it can be your own family or friends you been down with forever!  Now I know that isn't just in VA, that's worldwide, but I can only speak from what I know and since I was born and raised in VA, then I gotta talk about VA.  I can say personally that I don't have many people that I call "friends" anymore.  I wish I could say that I would have those same "friends" thirty years from now like my father's friends, but thats the way the cookie crumbles and I'm not mad at it AT ALL.  I learned a lot from about October 2010 up to now.  And I have especially learned a lot since I moved to Florida.  I think VA's new motto should be, "Virginia is for some lovers, the rest are for haters."  You be the judge.
