black and white outfits — Blog

I went to see the Lion King Broadway Play in New Orleans. It was beyond amazing! I love theater and watching people perform. I was in awe during the entire production. Art is just absoultely beautiful.

For the event, I decided to dress comfortable, yet nice. I wanted to be simple with a touch of glam. Check out my outfit choice below.

I wore a crisp, white top from American Apparel and wide leg ASOS trousers (I purchased the tall fitting pants). To fancy the look up, I added my vintage blazer from @shopvintagebowtique (Instagram Boutique), some rust colored chandelier earrings (old, similar pair here), and my gold clutch (old, similar one here).

Lately I've been crazy busy, and I don't know if I'm coming or going!! There was a time when my couch would be my excitement for the evening and weekend....boy have times changed. My social calendar is out of this world these days, but I'm not complaining. I always try to appreciate each phase of my life, because eventually - it will change.

Peace and Blessings,

A sexy/cool outfit accented with gold jewelry, classic sneakers, red lips, a pony tail, and sassy attitude is my mode of operation!!! I can rock this look any day of the week and feel right at home in the style realm. When I'm wearing a look like this, my swagger is different. I feel like I'm fresh out of LL Cool J's "Around The Way Girl" video. The only thing missing is my lollipop.

My mother purchased this outfit (available on sale here and here) for me during one of her shopping trips because it was black and white (she knows how I operate). I decided to dress it down so I paired it with my Reebok Freestyle tennis shoes which are known on the New York streets as 54-11's. This nickname was coined in the late 80's, and it came from the full price of the tennis shoes which was $54.11. Of course the price has jumped since then but the nickname will forever be.

Enjoy the weekend everyone. Get some rest and clear your minds. I will definitely try to do the same thing.
