Good Afternoon,
As I mentioned on numerous times, I can be rather
random. Today’s randomness is centered
around being polished. As a kid, I admired women especially older women that look polished. My aunt was one of those people. Every since I can remember, my aunt was always polished. I remember her in her 30s and 40s rocking her LV speedy with her diamond studs. Her makeup was on point and her hair was cut short. Rewind today, me in my late 30s rocking my curly pixie cut and my 2 carat diamond studs. Being polished was one of the things that I aspired to be. Low maintenance. When I go to the nail salon behind my home, the nail technicians call me plain jane because I wear my own nails (healthy and beautiful) and no designs on my toes or nails. Why would I distort my Essie or Chanel polish with embellishments? My jewelry alone are my embellishments. Being polished, is KISS; Keep it Simple Stupid or Less is More.
I hope all is well and everyone that watched the Superbowl
last night, I told you so that the New York Giants were going to win. I don’t follow football and I can care less
who had won; however, I wanted New York to win because it was New York. Being from Chicago, you can guess that I have
a case of big city syndrome. Anyways, I
hope those of you were able to grab a piece of Jason Wu’s for Target capsule
collection. My little sister who lives
in the city went to Target and said that by the time she went there, everything
was gone especially the small sizes. One
blogger, said the line is kind of boxy.
I don’t know. I haven’t received
my two dresses yet and when I do, I will let you know.

The keys to looking polished are knowing you. Playing around with make-up choices or clothes that make you look your best. Fit is always a key. Clothes that are too big or too small will take away the polish from any look. Quality is also a key. I am not saying go out and spend $$$$$$ on a wardrobe because $$$$$$ doesn't equate quality. Also, stick to clean lines. Clean lines can always be dressed up with some key statement pieces such as a handbag, shoes, or a piece of jewelry. Lastly, stay true to yourself. Knowing the true you and giving yourself credit will add any polish to whatever you choose.
Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
