Random, Random, Random

Good Morning,

I got up this morning to some thundering and rain.  I decided that I was just going to be my random self without a schedule.  I initially thought I was going to church today, but decided to just do church at home with the television, The Bible, and fellowship with my husband that didn't want to go.  I kind of felt guilty because I skipped church last week to go shopping (the Devil is a lie; LOL).  Being my random self, I am sitting at home thinking about what I am going to wear for my first day of work tomorrow at my new job; what I am inspired to write about for my contribution to a magazine; what I am going to eat today; and what I am going to write next for today's post. 

Yesterday, I received some news that my best friend will be visiting me from Philly next month.  I am absolutely thrilled since the last time I saw her was three years ago; however her husband came to visit the family last summer while on business.  She is my best girlfriend.  We share the same interests; however we are different in many ways.  When I talk to her, she makes me feel my best.  Love you, Lisa.

Excuse my unmade bed.
Well, I decided to wear a halter top to work yesterday with a blacktight fitting long skirt.  It was a good choice because I bought the items from Ann Taylor (the skirt two seasons ago and the top last week).  When I wore it to work, my boss complimented me on how well it looked.  She decided to put me in the same section where the shirt was located; hoping to sell more of them.  There were some interested clients; however they didn't like the way that it looked on them.  I did encounter something rather interesting:  clients look at things and make an assumption on it before trying it on.  For example, one client saw the shirt on me and was trying to figure out what size she needed.  She said she may need a medium and I suggested that she try the medium and the large. She then asked me if I was wearing a medium top.  I told her no; I am wearing an XS.  She had this shocked look on her face.  I told her I work out.  She said that she didn't. A point that comes to mind is the quote from Rick Owens:  "Working out is modern couture. No outfit is going to make you look or feel as good as having a fit body. Buy less clothing and go to the gym instead."

This is so true.  After my weight loss, I love the way my clothes flow on me.  I think that is one of the reasons why I am successful at work and selling the Ann Taylor brand.  Clothes can only do so much for you if you are not fit.  There is not a one size fits all and you cannot judge a book or clothing by its cover.  Keep in mind muscle takes up less space than body fat.  I want to say thank you Rick Owens for this quote.  I loved the quote so much I made a copy of it and framed over my mirror in bedroom for inspiration.

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...

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
