"Lace, Pleats, & Bows"

Hey hey, I hope you all had a great weekend! I just got back from an over due trip home to visit my family. I had  such a wonderful weekend being home, seeing my family, going to my favorite spots, and hanging out with my niece. I was so busy running around that stopping to take pictures was the furthest thing from my mind, but I did have my mini me snap a couple of pictures of what I wore to church on Sunday.

I totally love how this outfit came together! I love the fact everything except for the shirt and shoes I either thrifted or got from a consignment shop.

Why my breasts look like a triple F in this picture I don't know....LOL...but I really wanted to show the detail of this amazing pearl and gold chain necklace that I found last year at a consignment shop I frequent when I come home.

If you follow me on IG you may remember when I posted a picture of this amazing clutch I lucked up on a couple weeks ago when I paid a visit to may favorite consignment shop that I frequent in Atlanta.

I wanna give a special thank you to my mini me for being my photographer, she always does such a great job! You can check out the pictures she took in another post I did HERE.

"Sand and Pleates"

Happy Christmas Eve!! I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. I was unable to be with my family this year because the plane tickets were just way too expensive, so I will be celebrating Christmas here in Atlanta where it's 65 degrees, sunny, and no snow. =0(. I finally got a chance to wear this comfortable pleated skirt that I found at a consignment store when I was home last month visiting my family.

I wanted to be comfortable so I paired it with a cropped chambray shirt that I first wore HERE, studded Converse, and this amazing bone colored studded jacket. You may remember the black one I wore HERE 

I have had these sneakers since October and yes this is the first time that I have worn them...SMH. I bought them when my friends and I went to New York City to see Jay Z.

The options for this skirt are endless and I can't wait to dress it up. I love the length and how fluid it is.It was definitely a great $10 spent!

"Romantic"

I paid a visit to a couple of my favorite consignment/vintage shops this weekend and stumbled upon this adorable pleated skirt with lace detail. Even though the skirt is too big for me I bought it anyway. I felt $12 was really too much of a steal to leave it on the rack.

I pinned the skirt in the back and covered it up by adding a belt. I have had this lace shirt for yeaaaars. It was a perfect match to help me create an illusion of a dress until I can take the skirt to my alterations lady and have it taken it.

This skirt is super sheer despite having a built in slip. As you see even with the black slip I added it is still very see through.

What better way to complete a "romantic" type look than with a classic pair of Chanel earrings.

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I super excited because I will be leaving on Thursday to go to Jamaica for five days **turning cartwheels**. I have literally been working seven days straight since May, so this vacation is so overdue and needed!
