Twins


Good Afternoon All!!!!!!!

Twins are on the brains today because I was watching The View and there were a set of identical twins on the show getting a makeover.  They find themselves choosing the same things inadvertently to wear and they wanted an identity of their own. If you are familiar with twins, parents often dress twins alike.  Twins run in my family and my husband's side of the family.  My baby sister has two fraternal twin girls and when I want to buy them things not only do I have buy one, I have to buy two.  My mother wanted the twins to have matching Burberry dresses, and I couldn't get my head around  buying two dresses for toddlers at $300 each. Well, when I buy my nieces things to wear, I have a problem of buying two of the same thing.  I can find a pretty little outfit in the size I need; however, I can't find a duplicate.  I will not purchase the outfit unless there are two identical outfits.  I inadvertently think I need to purchase the same outfits for two twin girls because it is two of them and they are the same figuratively although fraternal.  I don't want the twins to be slighted or fight over an outfit because they are different.  But aren't they different?  Don't they have identities of their own?

Well, I have my experience in the twin department with my middle sister who is 7 years younger than me.  We have twin tastes and experiences.  She has two masters degrees and I have two masters degrees.  She loves handbags and shoes, I love handbags and shoes.  She likes her boyfriends in shape; my husband is in shape. Our little sister calls us dumb and dumber, because we buy the same handbags and shoes.  However, she wears an 8 in shoes and I wear a 9 1/2 in shoes.  My baby sister asked why do you guys buy the same handbags.  You should just buy one handbag and share.  The point is that we spend over $$$$ for handbags and from an economic standpoint, that is smart.   My sister and I are so on point with our attire that when we go to events, we have on the  same shoes and handbags without planning it. I remember my daughter's 8th grade graduation 2 years ago.  We had on different outfits, however we had on the same pair of Stuart Weitzman red patent leather open toe pumps.  Go figure.  We inadvertently buy and wear twin items to wear at the same events.  I think she is my Irish twin 6 times removed.  Go figure.

Blessings!!!!!

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...

Happy 4th of July

H A P P Y  4 T H  O F  J U L Y  ! ! ! ! ! ! ! I would like to take this opportunity to say Happy 4th of July to all.  I am taking it easy today.  My hubby barbecued some jerk chicken breast that have been marinating over night, some beef hot dogs, some lamb burgers, hamburgers, jerk shrimp, and some chicken quarters.  I did a healthy alternative to my famous macaroni and cheese ( wheat rotini noodles).  We are keeping it light.  My sister is coming over and we are just going to watch some movies and relax.  As an ode to the 4th of July, here are some items that I recommend not only for today, but for all time. Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
