It's a Deer-bra....

Good Thursday Morning to Ya..

I'm excited it's almost the weekend. Me and the boo have a fun jam packed weekend planned. Tomorrow and Saturday night we will be attending the Indianapolis Midwest Fashion Week shows featuring local designers. This will be my first fashion show and I can't wait to see what the talented designers in Indy have to offer.  Stay tuned for a special OOTN post and video/pictures of the event. Sunday evening we will be attending the WNBA Fever game.. they are currently in the championship finals and if the series goes to Game 4 on Sunday... the boo wants to be at that game LOL... although I enjoy many sports and even played basketball I have never gotten into the WNBA, so I look forward to attending my first game ... GO FEVER!!!

As for today's OOTD..

I wasn't going to post these pics, because it was so windy out this morning, I didn't get many good pics, but I decided to go ahead and show the few decent ones. When I bought this skirt last weekend my boo jokingly referred to is as the "Deer-Bra" skirt.. if you caught Kevin Harts last comedy show, you will know exactly what he's talking about LOL..  I was super excited to snag this skirt for $10 off the H&M clearance rack, paired with my pink/black thrifted blazer and cream/black button down also from H&M. Wearing black platform pumps from Bakers and random jewelry.

Hope you have a fantabulous weekend :)

Enjoy

Denim & Hounds Tooth Pencil Skirt

Wonderful Wednesday...

Think Wednesday is the best day of the week for me... it's the day I'm most settled. Mondays I'm working from home, but usually anxious about my commute to work early Tuesday morning..Tuesdays I'm dragging most of the day, Thursdays are long with my commute back home..Fridays I'm ready to wind down from a busy week. So Wednesdays have become the day I feel most relaxed...and it's HUMP DAY... Yeeaaaahhhh Baby LOL..

Anywho...  today I'm wearing a Oldie but Goodie Cream/Yellow Hounds tooth Pencil skirt I've had for many years now. It's funny cause sometimes it fits and most times its just a weee bit snug.. I won't lie, today I was surprised it fit just right :).  Wearing my treasured RL denim ruffle shirt I thrifted a few months ago and Cream Belt and Boots.  The weather is holding at a breezy 70 today, so no jacket required for today at least...

Wishing you a fantabulous Wednesday...

Enjoy

Inspired Look of the Day

Happy Tuesday to ya...

Today's look comes from a photo of the beautiful Kerry Washington that I saw in the September Issue of People Style Watch. I loved everything about this look. The mock turtleneck, the slim curve hugging leather pencil skirt, simple accessories and just the overall classy sexy look.  My inspired pieces are things I've had in my closet for a while. The gray turtleneck top and belt from The Limited, thrifted leather pencil skirt and Gray Leather Boots from Bakers.

Hope you enjoy the pictures and have a wonderful day.

Vintage With A Modern Twist

Good Wednesday Morning

Hope that your week is going well. Mine although it's had its challenges is still rolling smoothly LOL. I commute to work for three days each week and when I'm working I stay with my mother at her lovely Senior Apartment complex. I found a few places to take some pictures today, with a few on lookers anxious to ask me questions about what I'm doing, why I'm taking pictures, who will see these pictures... Gotta Love The Seniors... those that know me, know for one I'm not a morning person, and two Sweet Baby Jesus still working on me with having more patience, so lets just say they was working my bald head nerve this morning LOL. Still managed to get a few nice pics.

This outfit is Vintage from Blouse to Skirt. I found the blouse last year thrifting and recently picked up the skirt from Goodwill. At first I was hesitant about the skirt, it looked Little House on the Prarie-ish.. but I liked the dark denim rinse and the button down detail, and it has pockets which are a winning combination in my book. So I thought about how to style it for a while, and came up with this look. It has the modern touches of the wide belt and Lace Up Booties with lace tights. I Love Love Love tie-neck blouses, and this is one of my favorites, the rich colors are perfect for fall, and I think really brought this skirt / outfit to life.

Let me know what you think :)

Wishing you a fantabulous Wednesday !!!
