What did I tell you  about the weather!?!? Today it dropped to 54!! Now I know to you northerners that may not seem cold.  But imagine what it feels like if on Monday it's 80 degrees, and then on Tuesday it drops below 60!! That's a 25degree drop in 24 hrs...so it feels EXTRA COLD! So needless to say, I wanted to be covered up today.  As a standard goto with my black leggings I almost grabbed my black boots this morning and put on a black belt.  But then I thought I should change things up a little bit, and grabbed my gray boots instead, and added the gray belt!! I actually love the look even better now. I would only wish I had a taller pair of gray boots, but these will suffice!!

Love,

Tuxedo Stripe Pencil Skirt

Skirt: H&M
Shoes: Nina (Macy's)
Watch: Amway
Necklace:  NY&Co
Purse:  NY&Co
Vest:  NY&Co
Top: Express

Well the weather down here keeps going back and forth, and it's made it very hard to organize my closet. Every time I think I'm ready to put my spring/summer clothes away we get another 80+ day like today!! I knew that it would be warm outside so I wanted to go sleeveless. I've lost 24 lbs since I've started my weight loss journey in September, and now I can fit into this skirt again. Saving your smaller clothes is great, because it feels as if you bought all new clothes when you can finally fit into them again!! I love this skirt because I highly enjoy the tuxedo stripe on the sides, and it's long and tapered and comes in at the knee...and the split is great! To finish the look I added a great pair of pumps!

Dolman Tops Continued

Ensemble:
Tank: Embellished Tank (Express)
Dolman Top:  Express
Jeans: Boot Cut Eva Curvy Fit (Express)
Kitten Heels: Payless
Necklace: New York and Company
Ring: The Limited

Loving the Dolman Style in tops. I wore one for Thanksgiving, and I wore another one today. They are comfy, but are still sexy, even though they aren't body-hugging. It makes me think of the 80s, and I love them! This particular one is see-through in the back, so I'll always wear a tank with it. I love how the sleeves are designed, and there's just something sexy about off-the shoulder tops!!  I like the fit of this one because it's shorter in the front and hangs longer in the back. From the side it looks great!!

Love,
Shasie

Black Friday - Going Out

Ensemble
Jeans: Eva Curvy Fit (Express)
Shoes: Colin Stuart (Victoria Secret)
Ring: The Limited (40% off Jewelry Sale!)
Cowlneck Sweater: Don't remember, have had for years!
Fashion Scarf:  Sequin Infinity Scarf (Express)
Belt: Payless

This is my blog on what I wore out Friday night with friends. I went to Sullivans Steakhouse to listen to live music and it was very chill (literally it was extra cold outside, and they had the A.C. on triple blast so just as cold inside). The live band was great and they performed covers of all these oldies. It was fun.  I love this look because it's so simple. I added the belt to hide any stomach area flaws, and I added the scarf to give this simple look some pizazz. And last but not least the cocktail ring. Up against this black top, and dark wash jeans, the ring really stands out!! Let it shine!

Thanksgiving Attire

 

Ensemble:
Jeans: Lucky Brand (I cuffed them)
Peep-toe Pumps: Jessica Simpson (Macy's)
Off the Shoulder Top: Express
Tank Top: Express

I don't know about y'all, but even with my diet and weight loss program I made plans to eat a lot on Thanksgiving. I just made sure I didn't snack before the meal, so I could eat guilt-free. Because of this, I didn't want to wear anything too tight (restricting for stomach growth). I wanted to wear clothes that would allow my tummy to expand full of delicious goodness!  So this slouchy casual outfit was perfect!! I was very comfortable. And after my amazing dinner at my friends house, I burned some calories playing their guitar hero and rockband!!

Gaby, one of 2 beautiful hostesses for my home away from home Thanksgiving!! I hope everyone had a blessed holiday

How to Shop

Ladies and Gentlemen, I've decided to make a list of how to shop for this holiday season, so everyone stays happy: Customers and Sales associates!!

1. Be mindful of store hours. Yes a store may be open until 9pm or later due to the holiday shopping season, but that does not mean at 8:55 you should casually be walking in looking for an entire new wardrobe.  Coming in at 8:55 to grab an item that you already know you want and going right to the cash register is acceptable. Coming in and destroying the store, spending 20 mins in the fitting room, and then leaving without buying a single thing...well let's just say it's unappreciated...  Most of the time, the associates have already started to "close" the store, and though I'm sure they appreciate the business, they would like to leave on time
2. Fitting Room Attendants/Associates are not your servants - Of course they want to help you, that's what they are there for, to assist the customer, but please do not demand things of them as if they are your lackey. There are nice ways to ask for things.
3. Please bring the clothes you don't want out of your fitting room.  Leaving clothes in the fitting room is cute at Neiman Marcus with a personal shopper, but when it's clear that clothes are on a rack at the front of the fitting room when you go in, more than likely bringing the clothes back out is the way to go, especially if another customer is trying to go right into your room once you vacate.

4.  Asking for clothes off the mannequin...and then not buying it. Yes you want that size 2, and the only one left in the store is on the mannequin, and of course most stores will get it down for you...but more than likely they expect you to buy it! It's not easy taking clothes on and off the mannequin, and redressing them, especially in the middle of a busy holiday season, with tons of customer to assist.
   
5. Yanking Your Size out of the Stack of Folding Clothes - NO NO NO - Please if you are hunting for your size, and find it, lift the top of the pile up and pull out your size, there is no need to destroy a WHOLE PILE OF FOLDED CLOTHES for your size Large. That pile will take 20 minutes to refold at the end of the day after the store closes, and you probably took out some other piles at the same time
   
6. Do not act offended when an associate asks to help you find your size. It is because of number 5 that they do this. It's not because they think you can't count up to your size 6 in a "stacked in numeric order" pile, but most of the time people devastate piles looking for their size. They know where it is, and they know how to pull it out quick and efficiently therefore saving everyone time. 
7. Unfolding clothes to pick a color - This one is crazy. If you tried on a red turtleneck, and then you are unsure if you want the blue, red, or purple one...there is no need to unfold the stack of blue and purple...why? Because it looks exactly the same as the red, just a different color?? And the color is the same whether the shirt is folded in a neat pile, or unfolded in your hand.
8. Please remember your coupons.  Do what I do, I leave my coupons in the glove compartment of my car. You never know when you may want to kill time at the mall, and that way you always have them. Do not yell and scream and cause a scene at the registers because you forgot your coupon and the store cannot apply your invisible coupon. But lucky for you, and the technology of this day and age, most coupons are emailed or texted to your phone, and most stores honor seeing the coupon via the phone.
9. If you choose to try on items not in the fitting room, but right where they are located as in a coat, or cardigan, and you pull it out leaving a gap where you pulled it from...please be courteous and place it back where you pulled it from. There's no need to turn around and put the sweater cardigan with all the leopard tube dresses, when the rack of cardigans is right in front of you where you pulled it from...
10. If you see an associate is clearly helping another customer, please wait your turn. They are only human, and interrupting just throws everyone off...
11. Please watch your children...if possible leave them at home! Hahaha, kids get into everything, they open lipgloss, the pull on signs, they grap jewelry and everything off the floor. They look under fitting room doors and spy on other customers...If you cannot watch your kids while shopping, either bring someone else with you to watch the kids (because it's not in the sales associates' job description), or pick a day to shop kid free!! You'll be happy, and the store will be happy!
12. Please do not bring your pets into the store. Yes your pomegranate - - -Pomeranian is well behaved and never barks and fits in your Coach handbag...but you have no idea how other people may react to that dog. There could be people in the store allergic, or just afraid of dogs in general. 
    
13. Do not be that crazy person on Black Friday comping an attitude because an item is out, or you are waiting in line...IT'S BLACK FRIDAY, and you already know what it's going to be like, so start the day telling yourself that things may not go as planned, but on this day, what does go as planned? If you can't handle Black Friday shopping, it's best you stay at home and shop online. Tons of stores from Best Buy, Macy's, Target, Wal-Mart, are starting sales on thanksgiving day online!! Beat the crowds and shop from home!
