Marigold Chain Gang

This outfit is all about vibrant colors, comfort and movement.   I wore this outfit out for a casual dinner date, and it was perfect.   Oftentimes I hear from friends and fam that I tend to over do it with accessorizing.  Luckily for me this outfit was stacked with several cool details and elements, such as the cutout collar of the shirt and the print of the skirt. There was nothing left to do but add a neutral shoe and a necklace to top off the look.

Naturals In The City

Last weekend I had the privilege of attending the Naturals In the City Hair and Wellness Expo.  I have been "natural"  for almost 3 years, and I know a lot of my readers are "natural" now so I wanted to attend this event and learn as much as I could.

As you can tell from the pictures there were lots of demos of natural hair style-styling, and makeup tutorials. 

Lots of vendors were selling t-shirts, handmade jewelry, soaps, hair lotions and butters, and to my surprise even vintage clothing and accessories.  There was also a group of ladies from Hilltops Bakery selling delicious cupcakes.  Overall, I had a wonderful time at the expo.  It was very informative.  The presenters were wonderful as well.  I learned everything from hair care tips, to how to wraps scarves around my head and body.   There was even a fitness instructor on hand as well.

This has been the summer of gold accessories.  I have always been a diamond or pearl girl, but this summer I bought a lot of gold necklaces and rope chains.  Here I paired the necklaces with a vintage dress I bought while in Nashville, at a small thirft store on Charlotte Ave.
