Armed with Accessories!!!

Hey Boos!!! We are officially in day 3 of camo week and I am super proud of myself for sticking to my commitment of posting all week. Today I loved my accessories, and not often do I show them off, but today I had to do at least one shot of them. I got a lot of compliments at work today, which made me feel like my ensemble...lol was great.

Jacket:Thrifted, Tank Top: Walmart, Pants: Conway

 

I love these shoes to pieces, got them from Target.

 I have the fattest feet, I need foot liposuction...lol!!!

 

Hated this picture, but I wanted to embrace the things that I don't like in the picture.

 

 Accessories: Dots (I am in Love with Love.)

Loved my face in this shot I see history in my face.

 



 

My daughter said I looked like a little girl in this picture,

 and if I look a little younger I want the world to see it.

 

Until the next blog. Miracles & Blessings

Date Night -{OOTN}

Hey Boos! So me and the best part of my day AKA my Hubby had a date night and I was super excited. I have been dying to see Django and eat at Red Lobster after seeing the commercials on TV for the 30 shrimp, every dang on day. (SN: This is why I couldn't start my diet.)


I forgot I am not a spring chicken, and didn't take a nap before my date. In the middle of dinner I became real sleepy, so date night was cut short. Django, will have to wait until next week, but this is good because we needed to start having date night.

 

 

 

Jacket:Dots, Tee Shirt:Old Navy, Shorts:Ross, Tights:EBay, Shoes: Target

 

Vain Moment: I thought I looked extra funky in these tights, but the truth is they wouldn't go up past my thighs and my shorts were the only thing holding them up....lol!!!

They ain't just for Holding up Pants Anymore!!!

Hey Boos!!! This past weekend I had a burning desire to go thrifting. I woke up on Saturday and it was my first thought....Goodwill. I felt like a kid that got their allowance and I was itching to spend mine thrifting. My daughter went thrifting with me and found a bunch of stuff for herself, but I only found some great belts that didn't fit, so I decided these belts would be great necklaces.

Belt/Necklace: Value Village

Now that I know a great belt can also be a great necklace, I have tried to make every belt in my closet a necklace. I have lost it, but I will do a lot of stuff in the name of fashion. I'll even sell my Momma's TV like Gator in Jungle Fever. "I smoked the TV Momma"...LOL!

 

Belt/Necklace: Belt from a Jumpsuit in my closet

 

 

When looking for your new belt/necklace make sure that there is a hook or clamp on the belt. If there isn't a hook or clamp on the belt, you can purchase some at your local craft store or dollar store.

 

 

 



Belt/Necklace: Value Village

Vain Moment: Every compliment I received about the necklace went straight to my head, because they said what I thought. I'm like Smokey "I got mind control over Dibo"..LOL!!!

W.C.W.A= Wide Calf Women of America

I'm feeling good from  my head to my shoes boots, because I am able to wear my jeans inside my boots. I know this doesn't seem like a big deal, but I have big calves and the stores don't always sell cute stylish boots in wide calf. I would see all the fabulous ladies walking by me with their great boots on, and I was envious...yes I had small calf envy..lol.

 

 

 

Shirt: Ross, Vest & Boots: Dots, Jeans: Conway

 

 

I felt like I was the only person with this issue, until people at work started asking me where I was purchasing my boots. They also had wide calves and were having the same issue with finding boots. I felt like forming a support group at work "W.C.W.A= Wide Calf Women of America", and singing we shall overcome. Well I didn't break out into song, but I did start sharing the sites and stores where they could purchase wide calf boots at a reasonable price.  Hopefully, now that I am apart of a support group we can get more designers and stores to realize that all calves are not created equal, and that we just want to be treated like the small calf ladies of America. I will try to make my next post about great fall wide calf boots for the W.C.W.A...lol.

 

 

 

Vain Moment: I want my support group name to be Head "WC" Diva. I think I deserve it I started the group...lol.

Absent Minded in Charlotte!!!

Hey Party People!! I had an interesting day, and now I am ready for bed. Today I headed out to attend the Swapanista event in Charlotte. Always looking for an opportunity to get dressed, I put on something fabulous but comfy.

 

 

Shirt: Walmart, Skirt:Dots, Shoes & Purse: Ross

 

Crazy face, but great accessories.

 

Once the ladies and I get to the Venue we realize it looks pretty empty, and we might need to pull a Houdini and make a quick getaway. Being the generous person that I am...lol, I decide I will go inside to scope out the scene. Once inside I am advised that the event is not until next week...BUMMER! I messed up and thought today was the 13th of October, but I should've known because I paid my rent yesterday. SN: I hate paying rent, but I love having some place to live. I can't win.

All was not lost and Toya didn't waste her gas..shout out to Toya and KiKi for being troopers. I was able to network, which is always a plus and good for business. Then we spent the rest of the day eating, window shopping, and taking pictures. I guess next week we will try it again, but today it's just another crazy day in the life of Tan O.

 

 

 

 Vain Moment: Now I get to look drop dead gorgeous two weeks in a row.
