The Yin Yang Look

Hi ladies!

Happy New Year!

Have you ever been in a mood where you picked your lipstick shade before deciding what to wear?? This is totally opposite for me! I'm usually the girl who goes for shoes first before picking any look. Today I went straight for my red lipstick before anything!

The first step to wearing red lips is choosing the correct shade. It will definitely take trial and error, but please don't come out your house looking like you belong in the circus. There are plenty of cosmetic counters willing to assist you with finding the right shade for you! Ladies, I also cannot stress how important it is to keep a mirror with you while wearing red lips. Please don't be the girl with red lipstick on her teeth while showing all 32!

When in doubt, wear black and white with it! Since red lips are classy, bold and sophisticated, it's only right that you go for a yin and yang look; two opposing forces that are complementary. I'm seriously obsessed with red lips, a black and white outfit and silver accessories.

Just like this outfit, you must take the good with the bad in life. Soak up all the good and throw the bad away!

In the wrong, there is some right. 

In the dark, there is some light. 

In the blind, there is some sight."

Hi Ladies!

It's been SO long since I've blogged! Sometimes you have to reboot and adjust your goals. Your 20's are definitely a learning/growing experience. I've just been enjoying the ride.

However, I'm back and focused like never before!

The place that I've enjoyed going lately has been church. On those days, I'm always sure to look my absolute best! Over the weekend I went for the most comfortable look that I could find!

The shoes were so comfy that I didn't have to bring an extra pair! (Rare occasion for me).

Let's not even get into how obsessed I've been with this sweater!!! I need a moment of silence for this sweater....This sweater is honestly the reason why I got my groove back as far as posting blogs again. OMG when I saw it, I COULD NOT leave the mall without it.

Since the sweater was kind of big, I opted for a curve-hugging skirt.

"Your 20's are your 'selfish' years. It's a decade to immerse yourself in every single thing possible. Be selfish with your time, and all the aspects of you. Tinker, travel, explore, love a lot, love a little, and never touch the ground."

Are you tired of destroying your room when you have to go to an event? Are you looking for something to wear to go perfect with your curves, while maintaining sophistication? The solution to your problem is a Little Black Dress aka LBD! I believe that every girl should own at least one.

I know you're probably thinking, "No way, it's too simple. It's too boring. I don't like black," but I promise adding accessories or playing with your make up will add the finishing touches to this classic look.

Owning an LBD is problem solving. It took me 20 minutes to do my hair, makeup and find an outfit when I grabbed my LBD! Normally takes me over an hour (or three). I'm usually destroying my room trying to find the perfect outfit and accessories to match. However, you can't go wrong pairing most accessories with your LBD which reduces your time for getting ready. Not only are they a timeless fashion staple, but they have so much versatility!

It also gave me the perfect shape! All my life I've been pear-shaped which means that sometimes I need a forgiving outfit. Since black is naturally slimming, I find that my curves look absolutely amazing. It's just something about simplicity meeting curves, a match made in heaven for sure!
