Young never matching

Hello Ladies and Gents! Its a beautiful day here in Baltimore and of course I'm stuck in my office staring at the sunny skies and nice breeze. But nevertheless I'm blessed to have a job I guess. This weekend was a simple yet "filling" one for me. I worked some overtime and hung out with my baby brother on Saturday then went to church and did laundry yesterday. I'm getting ready for a fast that ill be starting on April 1st- April 15th. This is something that has been on my heart for sometime but with my latest trials and tribulations God is telling me its time to re-connect and center myself. During my fast I hope to gain clarity and a sense of direction with my career and personal life. During your mid 20's I feel like we all go through these"what am I doing" woes and need to just relax and reflect once in a while. I also plan to connect with myself and test my discipline. Discipline is not something I've been so good at throughout life and I'm hoping this fast will introduce that in my life. I can honestly say I'm scared shit-less, nervous but overall I'm excited. I'm trying not to set expectations about what to expect but its hard with all the research I've done. Every documentary, book and article I've read people talk about the break-through'S they've had. I'm just hoping to be OK with not eating for 12 hours a day and having a strict no meat, processed or sugary food diet. I'm sure I can do it but the first few days will probably be the hardest but with prayer and alone time I'm going to be successful. Pray for my strength cause I'm going to need it! 

This look is literally one that I threw together. I found these cool almost African print fitted trousers from H&M just last weekend and a night-time boyfriend tee from their pajama section. Of course I paired my fav Saucony track sneakers to add more comfort to the look and my boyfriends GAP denim jacket.  The sweater is one that one of my good friends had for a while and gave to me before she moved. Have a great week and be inspired! 

Purple Friday

Well hello there lovely people! I hope you all have enjoyed your week and are ready unwind and re-group this weekend. Yesterday the weather literally felt like a slice of heaven but was short lived after the angry storm swept through in the evening. I enjoyed the evening with my family in celebration for my younger brothers 18th birthday. It was a nice chill evening with just our close family, food and of course March Madness. Side note: I've gotten into college basketball over the last 2 years and that WV VS Kentucky game put in cardiac arrest last night LOL. Anyhow it was a great evening that was needed.

So now I'm back with a new personal style entry. I found this sweater at H&M last weekend and when I saw it I knew it was mine. I first saw this sweater about 3 months ago and it was originally $60. I shop at H&M so much I've figured out when things will be marked down and if you know H&M you know they ALWAYS have a sale going on. I scored this baby for a smooth $15! I love how chunky and oversize the style is and most of all I love the color! I feel like the chic cousin of Barney while wearing it LOL…that's weird but funny to me because I was a huge Barney fanatic as a child. I decided to keep the purple story going with a purple multi-color tweet ASTR mini skirt, basic grey tights and my Nike runners that I work out in LOL. The green& blue iridescent bag just added some spice to the look! This look is a great example of how to still incorporate winter pieces into the beginning of spring. Hope you're inspired! Ta-Ta beautiful people!
