Never Have I Ever.........

Do you have a piece of clothing in your closet that you've had for such a long time but never worn? I'm sure many of you know what i'm talking about. You would be getting ready to go out, and then of course stumble across a fabulous piece of clothing. You remember why it's just been sitting there for the past 3 months or so, and all of a sudden want to change your clothes. But then you remember “oohh yeah, I didn't know what to wear with this..”, and just continue getting ready; forgetting about it once more. Well my forgotten piece of clothing was this fur vest. When I first laid eyes on it, I purchased it immediately without thinking what I had to go with it at home – which with me is very rare. I paired it with a pair of green shorts, and it tied them together perfectly. But whenever I figured I would wear it, I would find something cuter to wear. So today I finally just decided to wear it. Theres no time like the preset and no better time than winter.

This past Friday I received my final paycheck from my job, that I miss so dearly, Cineplex. Like anyone would when they get paid, you feel the need to buy something nice for yourself, especially when you see things that are on SALE!! Any lady knows that sale items must be purchased. Across the street, literally across the street, from my school is a place called Windsor Crossing. It’s a place where people come to buy things for cheap; most are from the states since Detroit is really close. Even though American prices are usually cheaper, I think they feel like they’re getting a deal. Who really knows for sure. That Friday was the day that I not only got paid, but my cousins also. With money in the bank, we thought we were all ballin’ and decided to be big spenders, with the knowledge of the consequences we would face later on.

Our first stop was at La Senza. My cousin Stepahanie and I went in planning not to buy anything, but left with nice, wild - cheetah and zebra print- bras and not one, but two sexy panties (<.<). Along with our purchases we made a friend. She laughed with us, made jokes with us and most of all related to our everyday run-ins with the crazy, hoot and hollering people of Windsor. We will definitely be visiting her on the regular.

Next we went to Aldo. What lady can resist shoes? I know you guys know the end result. That’s right, purchases upon purchases of beautiful shoes!!! You will see them later on, so make sure to stay posted!(^.~). After moving from store to store we decided to take a load off at Cafe Mondo, where we got a nice student discount. YESSS =D. I ordered a big, soft chocolate cookie and a caramel ice capp. Step ordered a macadamia nut cookie and a caramel macchiato. mmmmm NOM NOM NOM ( ^0^). With our relaxing snack we kicked back and just took in the moment.

For this outing I wore my vibrant salmon-y, orange cardigan and a floral skirt. I topped it off with a plain white tee. For shoes, I decided to wear my Ked’s to tone down the girly feel, and as usual I used my cross shoulder, black vintage bag.

This past Wednesday I went grocery shopping with my cousin Liz Lemon, to get food for my dorm room. Boy were we ever in over our heads. We didn't quite think through the how we were going to carry all the groceries back home, so you can only imagine the struggle we went through to get them back to the dorm. The plan was to buy groceries then go to Value Village and look around for a bit then return back to the dorm. We ended up leaving the supermarket with two heavy bags of groceries, and if you guys know Liz, handling that bag was not gonna be a option. We left the bags in the grocery cart and wheeled all the way to Value Village XD.

When we got there we transferred the bags into a Value Village cart, then transferred them back to the grocery cart when leaving. If you guys aren't DEAD by now then I don't know what to say. We finally ended up pushing the cart all the way to the bus stop, where we waited. After a long, long ride, the bus dropped us in front of the school where it was all - walk , stop, walk, stop- from there on.

We reached the dorm with our back broken and Liz's shoulder dislocated. For this funny journey I wore my darker taupe cardigan, since it's was a little chilly, and a floral, zip back shirt. My Joe Fresh olive shorts went nicely with the floral patten. I added my braided belt and big red Charlotte Russe ring to bring it all together.

HEY GUYS!!! Okay, so I know I haven't uploaded in a while, but let me tell you what's been up with me. I'm a "College Lady" now!!! It was kinda, okay it WAS, a last minute decision, but I'm here now. My plan was to go to school in January and just work while taking extra classes for one semester, but things just happen without warning you know! So now I'm now attending St. Clair College in Windsor. I know what you're thinking, it's kind of a stretch right? Believe me I know, but I just have to buckle down and take it as a man.

Now that that's out of the way, back to fashion ;D. On my first day out, but not my real first day of class, I decided to wear something dressed down but still a little classy. I bought these two shirts from Joe Fresh, one white and one black, with a bit of flower detail on the top, left side. I liked them because you can wear them casually or with something dressy, which you will probably see me do later on. I wore the black shirt and some high-wasted vintage shorts with a navy blue vintage belt. I wore my taupe vintage loafers for comfort and added big bangle accessories, with an owl ring to top it off. I also wore these really cute vintage earrings that were my moms, but you can probably find them at Urban Outfitters. But that's another story (*^.^*)
