Something Old, Something New

Muted Statement

The faces that I am making in this post pics are priceless.  Those of you who follow me on other social media outlets may know that I reside in Jackson, MS part-time, so let me tell you about the heat wave here.  The heat is just down-right RUDE.  It's sweltering.  But I can honestly say that I love it here - 115 degree heat index and all.

On this particular day in Jackson, I wore an oldie but goodie.  I got this romper on clearance (as I  do all my clothes) at Express many years ago.  I couldn't have been more happy that this thing still fit after owning it so long, and actually not wearing it for almost 3 years...I had lost it (yikes).  Another thing I love about this romper is it's versatility.  This outfit can easily go from day to night with a simple shoe and accessory swap.  Here I was out about to catch dinner with my babes, so I wore heeled sandals, a red lip, and a statement necklace.  He thought I looked fancy.

Night Out

A few nights ago we celebrated my love's birthday.  He wanted a night of libations, great food, and chill vibes; and that is definitely my type of night.

Once the location for the night is established, it's time for the outfit planning.  Lately, I have been getting dressed from my feet up...meaning this chick dress for comfy feet.  So these cute little sneakers have been my go-to for some while now.  Although I was being practical with my footwear, I had to remain sexy so I wore a slip skirt (I mean, it was my boo's birthday!!)
