Still Kicking in My Casual Bodycon Dress + Red Leather Chucks

March 26, 2018 by Samjah Iman in Style

I was having a conversation with my 93 year old grandmother the other day, and I asked her how she was doing.  Her response was, "I'm still kicking....just not as high."  I giggled.  And I told her as long as she is kicking, then everything is flowing.  I then thought about how I've been feeling a little uninspired and mentally tired lately, but despite those feelings I still get up and do what I have to do.  Sometimes I get a little hard on myself when I feel like I haven't accomplished as much as I think I should.  But then I'm reminded that as long as I'm pushing myself to do something, even if it's small, then it's all good.  

The words my grandmother spoke resonated with me.  It reminded me that there will be times I won't be at my best - my kicks will be lower than usual, and that is totally okay.  As long as I am still kicking, then I am still in the game - and that is half the battle.  

Keep kicking my people...

Casually Cool in Chucks

July 28, 2016 by Samjah Iman in Style

I'm looking around the corner like, "Friday, where art thou?!"  Well.....since Friday didn't show up early, I decided to act and dress as if it was already here.   

I'm an advocate for t-shirt dresses, and pairing them with tennis shoes.  While browsing through clothes online one day, this particular dress from Boohoo caught my eye immediately.  It looked comfortable, and the color intrigued me.  I don't own a lot of print dresses so that gave me another reason to make the purchase.  When I received the dress, I was pleased with the results.  The material was light, and it was just the right length.  I paired my low-top Chuck Taylor's (my favorite tennis shoes for the summer) with this ensemble to keep the look casual.  I threw in a red purse to add a pop of color.

I'm on my way out of town again to visit family.  I plan to clear my head, eat a lot, regroup, kiss my granny, and enjoy my loved ones.  I hope you all have the best weekend ever! 

Oh and one more thing before I go - if you're enjoying my posts, please share them with a family member or friend. I would appreciate that so much!  Thank you all for taking this journey with me!

Let's talk soon!

Peace and Blessings!!
