Orange Dress Pants and Pinstripes...

Happy Thursday! I'm off tomorrow!! Wooohooo ;-)) I need this long weekend because I'm seriously exhausted. The week really dragged by so slowly...sigh. I have family visiting from out of town and my mother's graduation to celebrate. I don't have much to share but I did find some time to snap pictures of this bright orange ootd, I hope you all enjoy the pictures.

Skater Skirt Love...

I'm back with another post, I've clearly been too lazy to do an actual post :-))) I'm into skater skirts of any kind because the work well for my shape. I love them printed or solid colored, the more skirts, the merrier for the season. I've been rocking my favorite brown shoes, which are old but so comfortable and they go so well with just about anything. I like a belted waist because I'm not pencil thing, well who the hell is anyways *giggles. I'll be posting about my weight loss next, I've only gone down 7lbs but I feel the difference in the inches that I've lost, which is great!

I hope you all love the pictures, kiss kiss!!

Florals & Stripes...

Hey beauties...this post is kind of late! The week was so busy and I've been running on fumes. I have so much to piece together, with just four months until I move again. I'm already feeling the jitters LOL, relocating away from everything I know is sooo HUGE but I'm ready ;-)  

The Carolina's here I come! I'm excited for change and I'm even more excited about all the possibilities for new ventures that will come my way. I've prayed about it endlessly and I know that God makes no mistakes so I've left everything in his hands.

I want to thank many of you who support my blog and other social media platforms and I'm wishing all the mother's out there a HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Pops of Neon...

Hi beauties...wishing I had some boobs for this top LOL!! Well we can't have it all ;-) I've always been a fan of color and now that it's warming up outside, I've unpacked the brightest pieces I own.  The jeans are really old and I can't remember what store I purchased them at so long ago. I've slimmed down a bit so they FIT again **Claps hands.  Now that I've been working out more my skin has gotten so oily. I'm looking forward to mothers day weekend so I can squeeze in a spa facial and a few other "spoil me" spa treatments. It's been so gorgeous out lately, I find myself outside more often than usual for long walks. I hope you all love the pictures and enjoy the week.

Part 1: 24 Day Advocare Challenge...

Hi everyone!! I must apologize for the delay with this post :( I wanted to do a full post with pictures of me before and after BUT it would just take me entirely too long to get my act together. Soooooo I'm breaking it into parts. Okay, so I was introduced to the challenge by my good friend, whom by the way doesn't need to lose a pound *giggles....but thinks she needs to...She clearly is a good friend because she told me about the challenge because I sure could lose some weight LOL!! 

I'm not one for diets because I can't keep things straight from one day to the next so staying on track with a routine is tough for me to do. The Advocare 24 Day Challenge is a system with lots and lots of helpful information about not just dieting but making a lifestyle change that is truly beneficial for your health. I'm going to be honest, there is a packet and a really nice coach that you can communicate with through out the challenge but I really like to work at my own pace and find what works best for me. I will say that this is day 6 and I'm down 5lbs so far. On average I think if you follow the plan you can lose approximately 10-17lbs in the 24 days. I'll be happy with a solid 15lbs because any progress is progress and I don't beat myself up about it. The plan gives you options and great alternatives for what to eat and what foods to avoid. I've been able to avoid dairy, alcohol, meats, and CARBS=the loves of my life ;-)  The vitamins are excellent and I'm shocked that I actually like the Spark and Meal replacement packets. I've mixed them with my favorite fruits and they taste great. I haven't started on all the vitamins because some are introduced a little later in the game for different reasons. For now I've been cleansing and detoxing the body, which is a great start. 

I don't go to the gym but I do walk for miles religiously, with my four year old ;-) He thinks he's doing the challenge so he can have muscles and be fast LOL!!! It's something for him and I to do everyday after work and on the weekends. I'm surprised at how much energy he has for these 2-3 mile walks. I will keep you all posted on the challenge as I continue, I'm happy to say it's going well so far and I'll post pictures of myself with more details as the challenge continues.

Mustard Skirt & Rich Browns...

Hi everyone!! I started my 24 day weight loss challenge today and I'm so proud of myself. I made it through the day with no hiccups, I wasn't even hungry or snacking through out the work day. I'm going to have a detailed breakdown of the challenge in my upcoming post...before pictures too ;) I like so many other women are constantly working on ways to stay healthy and fit.

I'm working on the stomach, back, and arms, which are all problem areas for me. I'm hoping to shead at least 20lbs by late June but it's easier said than done. Todays outfit is sort of basic, I just accessorized it a little to jazz up the plain white shirt. I've had the shoes for over four years, The belt is 10 years old, and the skirt is from last year....I've been shopping more and more in my closet. I hope you guys love the pictures xo.

Coral Skater Dress...

Tuesday down...three more to go! Seriously I can't believe April is over already, May needs to bring on the flowers and some serious consistent hot weather.  I've got on another skater dress, which works best for my pear shaped figure. Since the skater style works, I'm racking up on more dresses in every color...*giggles. I bought this coral one a year ago for a party I attended, this is my second time wearing it. Coral is one of my fave colors, it looks great with my complexion. I own so many coral pieces, everything from accessories to outer wear, I totally live for this color.

Whelp! make the best of the work week, Friday will be here before we know it ;-)



This is why I smile...don't I look mean as hell?? LOL



XOXO



A perfect fit...

Hi loves! I wanted to share my latest dress buy. I've been looking to expand my dress selection because I have a difficult time finding the right fit. I found this dress at my local Marshalls and fell in love. I love the fit, it hugs in all the right places and the print is so pretty. 

I wore it for my love and I know he'll love it  *wink

For My Love BIG D ;) xoxo
