The No-Suit Suit.....

Hey all-
Happy its the end of Wednesday so only 2 more days of work Day... whoo hoo. Didn't ya'll know that its a holiday (well in J-Ville, it is). I woke up late, as usual for work and needed something QUICK to put on. These black skinnies are my go to and to make them less casual I always pair them with a jacket of some sort and heels. I also ALWAYS keep a pair of nude and a pair of black pumps at work JUST IN CASE. I am sooooo a just in case girl and detest not having things when I need them.
Its funny because after taking these pics, I was flipping through the September (best month ever for fashion) Issue of InStyle and I saw a pictorial on the "no suit suit" and I realized that is SOOOO what I did with this outfit ;) Who said I'm not a fashion leader lol, hahaha, and lmao
Thanks a million to my sis from another mister J-Leh for helping me with this VERY impromptu lunch time shoot. I really do need to get over my shyness of people watching me get pics taken. I know I should not care what they think but I also dont want to come cross s conceited or full of herself either... sigh! The fashion bloggers dilemna.

I know I am such the redundant chick but check the sentence below this one :)

love these cheapie sandals that I bought at a lil shop in Columbia Heights. Seriously the Sports Zone on 14th has some of the cutest casual sandals for the summer. I always thought it was just sneakers, tennies and t-shirts but they actually have some darlin lil surprises :)

p.s. please bare with me during this "i need a perm phase" that I am going through. It's going to be braids, buns, topknots ad scarves till I do :)

Silky Shorts....

Hey all-
Happy Friday! I felt like this was the longest week ever of life but I am so happy that its the weekend. I'm pretty geeked because some of my friends are coming to my place for game night tomorrow. I have been in crazy prep mode to make sure that my lil abode is clean and pretty. Does anyone else go into crazy mode cleaning when you know someone is coming over? I have a friend who cleans pretty much every day... her place is always visitor friendly. I wish I were that person but my bed turns into my closet because I never quite know what I want to wear. You'd think I would just put it right back on the hanger but NOPE, I sure dont.
This is just a super quick lil post to show these adorable little silk shorts I bought from H&M. Im obsessed with their shorts because they are super soft and have ample leg room for us "healthy" legged girls. I recommend checking them out if you can. My leopard shorts from a few posts ago were from there as well. View that post HERE. They are the best cut ever and if I can, I will buy about 3 more.

 

 those darn indoor shots but what can I do till my external flash arrives??

Love, love these shoes that I bought about 3 years ago but never tire of

 My Invicta watch is easily one of my fave pieces. I hate the color yellow but have grown to love it because of this watch. I get so excited when HauteLook has a watch blowout sale. Do any of you do sample sale site shopping?? Let me know if you'd like to be invited to Haute Look.. send me your email if you do... Similar watch can be found HERE or another less expensive version HERE

 I so wish I had a kick butt statement necklace to wear. I love a bold necklace with a high crew neck top. I guess I know what my next purchase needs to be

 

There it goes again, that cheesy lil smile of mine. Sigh... maybe when I am 50, I will have the sexy smile
