Im back … unofficially with

#1

 

H&M is FINALLY coming to Nashville

I can’t really express my extreme jubilation at this occurrence.  There is no date yet but they will be building a custom space in Opry Mills!!!

#2

I am production stage managing Cabaret for Tennessee Repertory Theatre

If you are in the Nashville area you should come and see it and support your girl.  It runs February 16-March 9 with previews on Feb 14 & 15.  It will be extended through March 16 and may be extended further.  I would be a great Valentine’s Date Night Event and its cost friendly.

I have also started teaching part-time at my undergrad MTSU

I am not longer blonde and am officially a red head! At first I have to admit I wasn’t feeling it, but I do love it now.  I used a Ion’s Demi Permanent in Dark Copper Blonde. Demi permanents work best when coloring lightened hair.  I used two boxes and a 10 developer.  Never use more than a 10 developer with a demi permanent.

This is a twistout that I installed on Saturday Night.  I blew out my hair last week and wanted to keep as much length as possible so I only used a small amount of Hydratherma Natural Daily Growth Lotion on each twisted section. I untwisted and fluffed this morning.

Here’s today’s OOTD! Dress is one of my favs its gotta be close to 10 years old.  This was Isaac Mizrahi when he first started doing lines for Target.  The belt is also Target.  Leather Tassle Necklace is Asos. I have on my Steve Madden Camel Boots.

The weather is headed past 60 today so I tossed on this F21 MexiCali Cape.

Sorry I look all crooked and disheveled but there were some quick shots done in the middle of working. Ill post a few other outtakes below.

Let me know what you all have going on in the New Year, I wanna know!!!

Today is my last day in the office, but I still have to work this weekend. The true celebration will begin on Sunday. I’m sure here is where I am supposed to say how BitterSweet this, but it’s not, my leaving DC will be bittersweet and leaving all my hard work with SunFest, but not leaving this job, the atmosphere, the people, the toxicity not gonna miss it at all.   They are throwing me a going away lunch and so I am playing along. I am still waiting for that moment when I can finally exhale and I don’t think it will be until I officially cross the Tennessee State Line!

I am loving this statement necklace that I got from H&M (shown above)

You know what time it is! Pretty sure the weather went from pleasant to hell overnight.  I am not complaining I would rather have heat than cold, but sheeesh can you ease me into it just a bit.  Guess not, out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Curry(OOTD+WeekendRoundUp)Curls

I hope that everyone had a great Father’s Day weekend! I wasn’t able to be home with my family but of course I still felt the love. Sent a ComicBook Card off to my dad because well he the reason why Im such and AfroGeek anyway.  His comic book collection as a kid was borderline obsessive and well he was really into the Black Comic Heroes which was even more exciting to me, and well it still excites me today. I’m sad when I ask little Black kids about Black Comic Book characters and all I get is Storm from X-Men.

I am less than 10 days away from heading back to Tennessee and well I can’t say that I’ve packed much of anything.  I’ve put most of the items up in my apartment for sale, I’ve sold a few pieces but I need to sell much more!

I am so happy to be headed home and yet the fancy mix of emotions I am experiencing is getting on my nerves.

So this is just a round-up of my the weekends OOTD’s and whatever other little bits and piece of me I can find to throw in.

Curry(OOTD)Currls

So it seems it was much cooler today than expected.  For me once June rolls around Im no longer interested in checking the weather I feel like it should always be warm whether rain or shine.

Which means todays OOTD quickly became something else.

In life in general I tend to default to skirts or dresses. Well it was def spring nippy this morning which means I went for pants, and even worse I went for Blue Jeans.

I am not a Blue Jeans kind of girl, in my mind I would like to be and I own plenty of pairs but when I go to put them on they rarely fit right, my thighs suffocate struggling to stretch more room, my hips are generally straight and finding a pair of jeans for straight hips and thick thighs I guess is not common.

Just a quick OOTD post.  Its cloudy and cooler today in DMV and I’m not complaining.  I really love the neon trend and well gingham is probably one of my favorite fabrics.

The Dress is Spring 2010 from H&M.  It is actually a size 8 but because everything is made oversized these days it fits.

The necklace is F21 I’ve seen it in so many other colors it other OOTD posts, but Neon Yellow was all I saw when I purchased mine.  This year I have really stepped up my necklace swag and how I can use them to accentuate my ensembles.

The Bracelet is H&M Spring 2012

and the RainBoots these have to be one of my all time fav staples. They are from the Gap and they have to be at least 5 years old if not more.  I purchased these way before rainboots because trendy and if you didn’t know I tend to precede trends and not follow them.

The Straw Clutch is thrifted and Ive had it for at least 5 or 6 years as well and its actually been broken and Ive been too lazy to stich it back together which I finally found the time to do this week!

See the full ‘Fit after the Jump and be sure to let me know how you loved your body today?

So here’s the thing… I like my clothes short. When it comes to dresses, skirts, and shorts, the shorter the better.

I love my legs, love thick legs… but I also realize that with age Ive got to make sure that my wardrobe is moving forward.

Which means short is not always the answer. I don’t plan on giving up my love for all things short but I am hoping to tailor my selections a bit, and start to integrate my wardrobe with more midi and ankle length pieces.

I tend to be more attracted to the extremes… I either want the shortest short or the longest maxi. I completely forgot about a dress I had purchased over the holidays at H&M. I wasn’t sure about the length when I purchased it but it was $20 on clearance and I couldnt pass it up. Now I wish I had purchased it in purple as well.

Im glad I found this piece, because when I put on this dress it feels and fits perfectly and is low maintanance too.
