Im convinced!! ... Im amazing ...

 .. and I wanna be a part of a flash mob just like this one!!

As I was perusing blogs in search of inspiration for the week ahead, I came across Erin's blog - Plus Sized Pretty.  She offered an insight into her ordeal with being bullied as a child, and then the great flashmob video.  I love the song, and I love video. Enjoy!

And you all are "amazing, just the way you are"
Thanks Bruno.. and Erin :)

Surprises Already!!

Hubby sent a message to my work friend, Jamaica, and asked her to get me a cake and have a party for me for my birthday.  They really surprised me and I was totally shocked!!

 Strawberry Shortcake from Whole Foods.. deeeelish!

 Me coming in the door.

I thought I was going to a real meeting.  My supervisor had come to get me and everything. HAAAA HAAA... the joke was on me! And we had a good laugh.

 I was really surprised and grateful to my friends for pulling this together. My Husband is the sweetest Man I know.  I Thank God for him every day! .. funny - all the men in the office said that Hubby was really raising the bar for them, but they all liked the look of fun, love, surprise and excitement on my face.. so they wanted to do something special for their wives.. Now thats a nice birthday gift. Pay it forward!

Going Green- Avocado!

Once again I had a different look planned for today.. but I changed my mind at the last minute.  I was going to wear a jean jacket with this outfit... but I switched to this green cardi and the green flats.  I likey! But Im not sure that its quite time for capris... since Im short they dont really fit like capris.. they fit almost like high water pants.. either way.. IM sure that you will be seeing this outfit once again when the weather breaks.

Tonight's plan is Girl's Night at Jamaica's house... play a little Wii, maybe some Taboo, eat.. and drink.. Im bringing the virgin daquiris .. but I do have a bottle of House Jam wine for the ladies that want to partake ;)
Have a great weekend.. who knows what else is planned for me.. I have a birthday on Monday!!  So there may be some weekend surprise in store for me.. Im not sure.. Enjoy your weekend everyone!

Baby Its Cold Outside!

I wish I had worn a warmer coat this morning. On my walk into work I was FREEZING!!! I have no idea what I was thinking. I guess I thought this sunshine yellow shirt would warm me from the inside. 

It is a pretty cheery color!

Im looking forward to the weekend everyone. Tomorrow is Ladies Night at my friend Jamaica's house. other than that nothing really planned but... Its a big deal happenin on MONDAY!!!!

Yesterday and Today

Yesterday, I really liked my outfit yesterday. I wish I had taken a better pic of the dress from the side. This is one of my eShakti dresses, and it has the cutest birds on the side of the dress.. I likey! I also wore this dress on Christmas.

 Today, I am not as impressed with my look. Now I have always been a fan of black and blue, but today I tried a black and brown combo.  I guess, I still like the combo, just not this pairing. Although I love each piece separately. They are staples in my closet.. a classic wrap dress and a cardi.. who could go wrong - so I thought.

Saturday Book Club Meeting

So I selected this outfit because of what BFF Court had on the night before at Cousin Kellie's Birthday Party.  She had on a very similar color scheme and this exact same dress.

 A few years ago (2006) we went to SanDiego, CA and BFF Court bought a jacket for the trip. Here is a pic of the back of the jacket.. too too cute from Lane Bryant.  She wore this jacket over the above dress to Cousin Kellie's party. She looked cute and so did I!

Thats Danielle in the pics with BFF Court.

Friday .. ALL NIGHT LONG!

This is the outfit that took me from 6am to 1am the next morning!

 

I went to an event to honor my mother.  We attended the grand opening for a new facility by the Light of Truth Center which is a transitional house for women who are recovering from addiction.  The building is being named The Jefferson-Jones House. Exciting evening.  And such a rich legacy to my mother!

The fam was all there!

And later that evening, I attended the 30th Birthday Party for my cousin Kellie!

She looked FABULOUS!!!! I loved the dress that she chose.. Im trying to get her to give it to me, lol!

Ofcourse her Hubby was there to support his Wifey.

 

 

A wonderful evening!
