Sexing it up a bit!

Since my relocation to Houston I can admit my wardrobe choices have diminished quite a bit. My weight loss and climate change just about killed my wardrobe!

To make matters worse, I wear a uniform to work. I really only have to concern myself with my clothes on weekends. I like clothes but I'm not a clothes whore. I didn't want to start rebuilding my wardrobe until I was fairly certain I would be staying put in my size 8/10.

Well last weekend while I was in New Orleans my honey told me I need to start "sexing it up a bit!". He's right! He knows me very well and I know that I need to step my wardrobe game up.



This is something that I'd wear!

So yesterday honey tells me that he's going to buy me clothes give me money to buy clothes. This is after I tell him that I'm throwing on leggings and a fitted "T" to go eat lunch.

Okay cool but I really don't like to shop! What's a girl to do?

I follow a few fashion blogs, I admire their style and taste. I know one of the keys to building a successful wardrobe is finding your own style. Hell what exactly is my style??


I'm thinking about buying this dress to wear to an all white birthday party

I strive for comfort above anything! I don't want to continue to romp around Houston in "workout inspired" outfits! I need to find a site that lets me answer questions to help identify my style personality! I definitely don't have a copy cat personality and I'm not trying to mimic anyone else's style!

I plan to hit the Houston thrift scene soon. I've gone a few times with little success.

So again I now have something else to focus on!!

I love me some dresses!!

Yesterday my baby Mimi had to stay home from school because she was sick the day before. I haven't really spent my week off doing anything specific. I had decided that I needed to go to Nordstrom to be properly fitted for a bra. Since my weight loss I hadn't had myself measured.

We had breakfast then had a little time to kill before Nordstrom's opened. Well Macy's was open so we went in there! I made the mistake of "browsing" at dresses one of my weaknesses and ran across a fierce little Calvin Klein number! Of course I had to try it on!!






A size 10 beauty!!! Oh how I loved this dress!! Mimi reminded me I was only supposed to try the dress on, not buy it! The ONLY reason why I didn't drop the money on it was because one of the little straps on the inside that helps to keep it on the hanger was caught in the zipper..damn! I checked the rack for another size 10, no luck!

I've contemplated going to another Macy's to buy that dress, I just can't justify spending the money on it right now with all of my upcoming moving expenses. Oh and I still needed new bra's!!

Off to Nordstrom we went! The sales lady brought me to a dressing room and measured me. She wrapped the tape around me and rattled off "you're measuring somewhere between a 32-34, let me go grab you a few items to start with!"

Seriously, 32-34!!! She comes back to the room with both C & D cups in size 34. I started with the D cup and well guess what...perfect fit! So my official bra size is 34D! That's a big damn deal as far as I'm concerned! I was convinced before I walked in the store that I was a B cup! WRONG!!

I'm not even going to tell you how much money Nordstrom violated my pocketbook for, but I have two brand new bra's that fit like a glove!

I also realized that a 34D is hard to find once we went to Walmart (my honey laughed, from Nordstrom to Walmart no stops in between lol) and I browsed the lingerie section. So it looks like I'll be buying my bra's online. It was a very successful shopping trip, yet I'm still "jones-ing" for that Calvin Klein dress!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday!! Payday Friday!!! Time to finish my Christmas shopping!

This morning when I rolled out of bed at 4:15 am *sigh* I was ready to do my Turbo Fire 55 EZ class! My body felt refreshed and energized! I opted not to lift weights or go to Spinning yesterday evening because I felt tired. Typically I can go pretty hard on my workouts throughout the week but even I have days when I need to sit one out.

Once I arrived at work I dropped my stuff in my office and headed over to Blue Water Taco for my “payday breakfast.” I promise you…sometimes this is the highlight of my Friday! I tend to scarf this down so fast I don’t have the chance to take a picture. Today I snapped a shot before the spicy Mexican scramble w/ a side of bacon disappeared! Potatoes, eggs, Pico de Gallo, cheese, jalapenos, cilantro and fresh salsa…mmmm mmmm good!    

My brain is running a mile a minute today…don’t quite know what’s up with that? Anyhoo, I went to preview and pick out my photographs from the boudoir shoot I did last Saturday. Honey let me tell you…my bae is a LUCKY man (he already knows this) as I remind him often! When I saw my “fierceness” flashing across the big screen at the studio, my jaw hit the floor!! The pictures are absolutely beautiful! They turned out even better than I expected! I should have my prints back next week and I’m thinking about posting the one that is most appropriate for mass viewing? I’ve said it before but I am SO GLAD I did this!

I heart Friday’s!
