Land's End Canvas Women's Handknit Cashmere Aran Sweater

Good Morning All.

Since I have been laid off from my job, I have been finding myself awakening around 3AM in the morning to get on the computer.  My Intenet surfing consists of checking emails for job prospects, searching for jobs on job engines, and window shopping.  I am very consistent to the types of websites I visit:  Landsend, Dooney and Bouke, Barneys, and so on.  Anyways, I am so excited that a sweater I have been eyeing has went on sale.  I asked the hubby can I purchase this sweater since I am now unemployed and must conserve cash.  He said yes.  Yippie for me.  The sweater was originally $350 now down to $200 for a limited time. On top of that, I found a free shipping coupon.  I hope this sweater is all that and a bag of chips when I receive it.  Patience is a viture.

    Thank you so much Jasmine. I only pay full-price for merchandise that I can't get on sale like a Louis Vuitton or Hermes. Even with Hermes with their prices being above my means, I try to find mechandise in co-signment shops. Who says that you can't enjoy fashion and be broke?

Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel

Good Evening All, This week has been rather hectic.  Dealing with family issues and job interviews at the same time.  All is good and the Creator is in charge.  I had purchased a Dooney and Bourke bag about two months ago to store my keys, ipod and identification when I workout at the gym. The bag wasn't a great choice and I end up exchanging the bag for a Dooney and Bourke Leather Janine Satchel in gray. At first I didn't really like the Janine Satchel because of the size.  I love big bags; however since I have lost over 20 pounds, big bags are starting to overwhelm my stature.  I wanted a gray bag because I wear a lot of gray outfits and have been unable to find the perfect gray bag.  There are many different shades of gray that tend to be a little taupe or have a bluish undertone.  This bag is more on the heather gray side with the beige vachetta accent. It is the perfect bag for the warmer months.  The leather reminds me of the Prada S...

I Am Back

Blessings To Everyone, It has been two months since I last blogged.  I have been extremely busy with work.  I was working on a dress for success event with both my employers that includes Ann Taylor.  We created an initiative to teach graduates how to dress for interviews and what to wear for work.  At my primary job, we have to create initiatives along with my current job duties. The event was a success. One of the student models was offered a job at the new Loft flagship in Chicago. I also have been contemplating which way I would like this blog to go.  The blog started out as a self help for me and to inspire others as well. I want to focus on inspiring others. In the past two months I have been out of town to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.  Going to New York was one of the things I wanted to do before I leave this world.  I would say that it is part of my bucket list.  I enjoyed myself.  You know I love all thing...

Flip Flops..... To Love or Not To Love

Blessings, I hope everyone is enjoying the weather.  The weather here in Chicago has been iffy.  We are experiencing weather that is normal for the month of April.  I can't complain because at least we are getting rain instead of the drought of 2012.  Also, many blessings to those that have experienced tornadoes and flooding. With warmer weather brings the love hate relationship with flip flops.  In my weekly team meeting yesterday, the Director was going over the dress code (fashion seems to be a little laxed in warmer months) for the summer.  One of the things that he mentioned that struck a cord was no flip flops.  There has been a lot of debate about the health reasons against flip flops causing arch and leg pain; foot viruses in the locker room/shower room; and fractures from missteps or weather.  In the workplace, flip-flops are prohibited in some instances and are considered very casual wear in addition to sweats and shorts.
