BFF Blog # 4 - Game Night

What started out as Game Night for adults, ended up being Game Night for the kids. My sister is a member of a social group and her group had a Game Night last night. The ladies all brought their children and it ended up that the children took over the game night while the ladies just chilled out. They sat around most of the night talking about the various plans that the group has for the next year, including a plethora of vacations. Sounds like fun to me!!

BFF outfit to Game Night

Cowneck Shirt - New York and Company

Skinny Jeans - Forever 21

Studded Boots - Rainbow Shops

Accessories - New York and Company

This is a close up of the boots. They are a comfortable heel height with Rock Star details. She is really kick azz in these studded boots! hmmm, I wonder if I could fit these. She really wanted to find a pair of boots that her jeans would fit down in and I think this was an excellent choice (Im going to see if I can fit them too! I want a pair of boots that my jeans will fit into so badly!)

... and didnt I say that the children took over. well this is my lovely niece. she wanted to get in on the blog action. when she took the pic for her mom, she said, "take my pic and send it to aunt moo-moo too (i know, aunt Moo-Moo, who calls a plus size woman Moo-Moo. But she has been calling me that for years. I have learned to embrace the name as a term of endearment, lol). She recently turned 14 and ofcourse everything at that age is pure fashion and has to match exactly. although you cant tell, the jacket has some purple, hence the purple shirt.

Niece Outfit

A few weeks early

Originally I had no intention of leaving the house today. okay, well I was gonna leave the house to return a few items, but then I didnt feel like it. So I had decided to just stay home. Hubby had gotten dressed and asked if I wanted to take a ride with him to his mom's house and a few other errands. He agreed to buy me lunch at this local dive that serves great fried fish. They have been black owned since 1974, and that says alot. But either way, I love their fish. So when Hubby agreed to take me there, I got dressed and we were out the door.

This is what I wore:

Todays Outfit
Green cardigan - Fashion Bug
Black printed tee - ExpressMen
Jeans - Macys
Clogs - Nordstrom

And who knew that Hubby and I were both wearing green. I guess this was our inner leprechaun coming out.. a few weeks early.

BFF Blog #3 - Ladies NIght

So the three amigos went out last night for some much needed laughs. All of our lives are going through different changes and although we talk often (atleast once a day), we still needed some laugh time. So we went to a place and had a few drinks and some dinner. The food was ok, but the drinks were good so that more than made up for mediocre food.

One thing about us is that we can laugh at the most random stuff in the whole wide world. But it will keep us laughing for hours and every time one of us mentions the incident the laughs start all over again. I am smiling on the inside just thinking of how much fun we had.

My outfit last night was the same as the post. I was supposed to roll the cuffs of the jacket, but yea, that didnt happen. So the outfit looked the same. Maybe next time. But either way, this is what the BFFs had on! (I am so happy that they play along and take the pics for my blog, lol)

BFF Outfit
Grey sweater (with the cutest button detail on the sleeve) - LaneBryant

Black boots - NineWest [6pm.com]
Heart necklace - cart in the mall

BFF Outfit
Camel leather peplum coat (that I totally adore!) - One Stop Plus
Brown Sweater - gift from mom's closet
Belt - shop in New Orleans, LA bought during the Essence Festival
Jean skirt - Gap
Boots - Ninewest

Open or closed?

I know that today's Inspiration Calendar called for a boyfriend blazer, but I wasnt quite ready to debut mine just yet. So I went with a different blazer instead. But I couldnt decide if I wanted to wear the blazer open or closed. Wearing it closed, it looks like a little to much white. Like I need a brooch or something. But wearing it open, looks like it needs to be closed. And I could have worn my orange and pink flower boots, but I just decided to wear the black boots instead. IDK. I actually have on two necklaces, a set of pink tinted pearls and a gold toned chain necklace. But you can see neither in these pics.

Open?

Closed?

Today's Outfit
Winter white tweed blazer with frayed edges - Newport News

Pink mockneck - NewYork & Co

Denim slacks/trousers - Avenue

Black boots - NineWest

Flower Ring- Forever 21

Necklaces - ??

This is a close up of the ring that I am wearing. It was a gift from my BFF. The three amigos (my sister, my BFF and I) went to the mall last night to return a few things ... and buy a few more things (although, I left the mall empty handed, that was cool). My BFF got me this ring and another cute ring. I found her a cute stretchy ring that she bought too,but she liked these for me, so she got them! ... Isnt it qqquuuuuuute!! I likey!

REPOST: Classic Black and White.. I stand corrected!

Well ladies (and gents),
So Hubby reads my blog daily. I mentioned on someone elses comments that three of the people that I love most in the world are daily readers of my blog. well, I ran to the store this evening with my sister and she tells me that Hubby said he read the blog today. I was like, yea, what did he say. She said that he told her... I see she (Kameel) went to Fashion Bug last night and bought some "boyfriend jeans", She needs to be buying "HUSBAND JEANS"! .. LOL, I thought that was hilarious.

So, I stand corrected, I bought "husband jeans" at Fashion Bug last night. And I will be sure to show you ladies how they fit in a future virtual fashion show. I got a few other items in the mail today (dont we just love deliveries). I cant wait to show a few of these items off. I am really tempted to switch tomorrow's outfit to one of the items that I got today in the mail. I am so impatient. I always want to wear my new stuff right away. Is anyone else like that?

Classic Black and White

Today's Inspiration Calendar called for classic black and white. So I decided to wear a dress as a tunic. I dont wear this dress often, because I always thought it was so dressy and that meant wearing it to a fancy dinner, church, or a funeral. But today, I decided to pair it with some leggins and my webbed boots, to see if I could get a different look. I think I did pretty well. The dress doesnt look as formal at all. Thoughts??

Today's Outfit

Black and white dress - Macys

Studded leggins - Macys

Black webbed boots - Nordstrom

see that watch.. its still there, lol!

And this is the coat that I wore. I figured if its a theme, why not go all the way. This is the same coat that I wore for the Love Holiday weekend. Its pretty comfy. Dont mind that pic. I was trying to fix my hair and get out the door at the same time. I have no idea what I was looking at.

I went to the hair dresser after work yesterday. I actually left work 2 hrs early to get my hair done. But for some reason, I am not as impressed this morning as I was last night. I am very very (did I mention very) critical of my hair when I get it done. I like it to look a certain way, and I get so frustrated when it doesnt turn out right. MY BFFs always tell me that I am overreacting.

So when I left the hair dresser, I stopped past Fashion Bug. They had boyfriend jeans for $17, so I figured I would try a pair. I am not sure that I am going to like them. The correct size was a little tight in the thighs, and I dont think they are supposed to be worn like that. And the next size up was a little big in the waist, and they look baggy on. Sometimes baggy can translate to sloppy on a plus size woman. I got the larger size anyway. I will try them out, but what do you think? How are the boyfriends supposed to fit?

And another pair of socks!
