In Living Color

I was in Walmart the other day shopping for groceries.  I passed by the men's section and spotted some Wrangler jeans.  I've never had a second thought about Wrangler jeans, but they caught my eye this particular time.  I decided to buy a pair and transform them into a unique pair of jeans.  I did just that, and let me tell ya'll this.....I think I found my second favorite pair of loose-fitting jeans. Check them out below.  

I purchased the jeans then went right to the paint section to purchase some spray paint.  When I got home, I sliced and cut the jeans to my liking, spray painted them in certain areas, and lightly poured bleach on them in certain spots.  I then washed them to make them shred, and then BOOM - my second favorite pair of loose-fitting jeans were born.   

What I like about these Wrangler jeans, besides the fact that they were only $17.00, is that they are high on the waist and fit comfortably.  Since buying this pair, I have purchased another pair to create shorts.  I'm addicted.

I paired my Wrangler jeans with an old Forever 21 graphic top, my old neon green Steve Madden pumps, and my Ring Around the Choker Necklace from Intuition.  Minus the shoes, this entire outfit was less than $50.00.  I love fashion when it's cute and cost efficient - a win-win situation. 

Have an awesome weekend everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I definitely will!

One Outfit, Two Ways - The ASOS Minimal Jumpsuit

I finally purchased the Minimal Jumpsuit from ASOS (which was on my wishlist), and boy am I glad I did!  This loose-fitting jumpsuit is so comfortable and versatile.  It will be getting plenty of wear throughout the year. 

After taking these pictures, I met my girls for lunch.  We had a lot of catching up to do and me and this jumpsuit were both ready for some good conversation.   

I'm definitely digging the pockets on the jumpsuit.  Having pockets on clothes gives me comfort for some reason.  During those awkward moments when I'm talking to people or just walking and I don't know what to do with my hands, I place them in my pockets and feel safe lol. 

My Adidas really match up well with this jumpsuit.  It gives my effortless look some edge.  This is a perfect look for daytime events, festivals or even concerts.  However, if you have a dinner date, art show, or evening soiree to attend, simply throw the Adidas to the side and jazz it up with some heels.  It transforms very well. 

To take my jumpsuit to an evening look, I added some eye-catching heels, a small purse and a belt. 

This jumpsuit is a great purchase.  Clothing pieces that can be worn many different ways allow you to save money and express your creativity.  I can't wait to wear this jumpsuit with some flat sandals, a blazer or my oversized blue jean jacket.   

Before I sign off, guess what?  I found the bike that was on my wishlist as well!  The best part about finding the bike was that I got it for an excellent price!  I was on a road trip, and while driving and singing along to some Jill Scott, I spotted an antique shop on the side of the highway.  I did a double take when I saw her (my bike) sitting out in the front saying, "Sam!! Let me roll girl!"  I politely did a u-turn and went to go get my bike.  When I made it back to the antique shop I was elated to discover that the bike was only $60!  I purchased that bike quick and went on about my business.  Ladies and gents, meet Priscilla. 

I gave her the name Priscilla because that is the first name that came to my mind upon meeting her (I have no idea how my mind works).   Now Prissy (her nickname) needs some work done, but nonetheless she is still a doll.  My father is currently fixing her up to my liking.  Once she is done, I will show her off to you guys. 

Enjoy the rest of your week sweethearts and remember to count it all joy!
