Dressy Casual...Meh??

Featured in this post I am wearing a pair of slacks and a nice blouse both from Unique Thrift in Chicago.  This outfit is a great alternative for those that work in a business/dress setting, but wish to display their uniqueness and personal style.

This rust color has made quite the splash in my fall/winter wardrobe this year.  I have this pair of pants as well as several other pieces in this color that I like to wear together for a perfect monochromatic look.  In this post, I wear the pants with an on-trend black and white blouse and strappy sandals.  Topped with a statment necklace, and I display my personal style with ease while staying within the office dress code.

Now to the fun stuff!!! Being a style blogger is a lot of hard work, but staying creative and providing content that is fresh, new and authentic is quite the task as well.  Below are pictures of outtakes and bloopers from my post shoot.  I wanted to share these pics with you guys because it's difficult to show your true personality through outfit photos.  Enjoy these pictures of me being the silly person that I am.

Lupita Nyong'o Does A Jumpsuit

A few weeks ago Lupita Nyong'o appeared on Stephen Colbert.  It's always a treat for me to catch her speaking as herself and not acting.  I think she is very intelligent, poise and beautiful; and she's a joy to watch.  On the late night show she wore a navy blue jumpsuit that fit her like a glove.  After seeing her I went on the prowl for blue jumpsuits.  Below are a few looks that I found.

Also, I wanted to share this hilarious moment from Lupita's interview with Colbert.

Surfbort - Halloween Costume

My family was never big into Halloween, so as a child I never got to dress up.  In my adult life I enjoy dressing up and going to parties; eventhough, I never dress up as anything scary, spooky or go all out.  This year I was a "black millennial", and Beyonce from the Drunk In Love video.  See, simply right?!? Lol.

I bought this dress on clearance at H&M in Chicago back in the summer.  It was marked down to $10, and I had to have.  Back then I didn't know when, where or how I would wear this dress, but for $10 it didn't matter.
