Week Recap

Good Morning All,

I have been rather busy this week.  I started not one but two jobs this week.  I actually worked three jobs including my volunteer work at the American Cancer Society Relay For Life.  I am tired but; a good kind of tired.  I was reading the Oprah magazine yesterday and it featured women who embarked on their dreams no matter what age they are.  I was amazed how a woman became a firefighter in her 60s.  This was an inspiration for me.  As I recap on the week and my journey for enlightenment that started in December, I can do anything that I put my mind to largely; all props to the Creator.  On my almost 5 months hiatus from working, I started a blog; lost 30 pounds; took up running; volunteered; and embarked on a spiritual journey with the Creator and His Son.  I am truly blessed.

Well, yesterday was first day on the job at Ann Taylor.  I work at the new concept store in the area.  I had a ball yesterday.  It was super busy because of the Friends and Family 40% sale that is currently being offered.  Today is the last day and the sale includes everything in the store as well as Ann Taylor Loft.  Of course I feel like a kid in the candy store. I am currently writing down things that I love and going to look at when I return to work today.


Remember the size 6 jeans that I were waiting on from Ann Taylor Loft?  I received them and they fit perfect.  I took them to my tailor and she hemmed them for me.  I will wear them to work today with one of the blazers I bought from Ann Taylor Loft.  I am going to wear the seersucker jacket with a white tee (Ann Taylor) and the jeans. Until next time....... Blessings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    You are the ultimate Go-Getter
    You complete all the required steps, that most people are not willing to do, to attain the success, that most people are not willing to get.
    You put your mind to it and just do it.
    You are an inspiration to others.

Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue

Good Morning All, I have been enjoying this nice Chicago weather we have.  It has been around 70-80 degrees for almost two weeks now.  It is kind of creepy.  I went to Culver's yesterday to get one of my favorite treats, a three scoop lemon Ice and while in the drive through I see a big bumblebee.  Spring is definitely in the air.  I am waiting for the ball to drop.  Will we be getting 6 inches of snow in May?  Anyways, I got a new bag.  Well, I exchanged a bag that I had bought about two months ago for this bag.  It is the Dooney and Bourke Florentine Smith Bag in Royal Blue.  I had purchased this bag in white/tan for the spring and had a change of heart.  I like white bags; however, they don't wear well.  Eventually they will get some kind of color transfer from denim or they will yellow overtime. I have a Chloe and Marc Jacobs bag that did that.  Well, the bag in my opinion is not royal blue in person.  It is ...

Is Blogging Dead?

Hello To All. I have been missing in action from this blog since 2015.  I am the type of person that gets bored with things quite quickly.  I have a question for you today.  Is blogging dead?  There are millions of blogs out there covering everything from fashion, food, homes, wine, and etc.  With the fashion piece, Instagram has taken over the need to post a  blog about what a person is wearing and what the audience should buy. However, is it quite necessary to share with the world everything that a person does in their life. I am signing off with this open ended question; should you leave things to the  imagination?  Ponder on that question; will you. Until next time, many, many, many, 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...
