Morning yoga on Saturday. Walked to class, it was lovely in the morning, but got pretty cold and rainy later in the day. Cadet blue tee from Mossimo, black yoga pants from ProSpirit, hibiscus hoodie from Gap, hiking shoes from L.L. Bean. Hair is second day, just blown straight while dry where there was behead. No makeup. Had a good yoga session, then had tea with my mom at a nearby cafe and walked home.
I had to go to the accountant to sign my taxes once I got home, so I switched to Express bootcut jeans and a bit of L'Oreal True Match foundation in C3 and Cover Girl Lash Exact mascara in black and Revlon ColorGlide Sheer in Sheer Burgundy so didn't look as naked. Not super sassy, but I was out for a very short time then headed home to complete tasks around the home and then have Netflix Night with the hubby (saw Half Nelson, was very good. Sad and upsetting and awful, but terribly good acting).
Sunday started with brunch and then errand running with a friend. Very rainy day. Black ribbed tank from Caslon, black and gray striped stretch v-neck sweater from Banana Republic, dark cotton denim patch-pocket jeans from Gap Outlet, black city boots from Impo, silver hoops and cuff bracelet.
Hair was washed, conditioned, Suave Professionals Healthy Curls mousse applied while damp and allowed to air dry 50%. Then dried with diffuser and curling iron to the unruly parts. It was a super rainy day and was humid even in the house and the hair was crazy.
Makeup was L'Oreal True Match foundation in C3, concealer in W4-5, Nars blush in Orgasm, eyes has the Revlon ColorStay shadow quad in Neutral Khakis – ivory in inner corners and along brow bone, olive on lid and along lash lines. Lashes curled and Cover Girl Lash Exact mascara in black applied. On lips is Lancome Juicy Tubes in Exposure.
That night, went to a General Admission concert in the city. I pretty much got home from errand running and had 20 minutes to get ready. Took off the sweater and put on the hoodie from the previous say (wasn't sure if I would get hot, had no time for creativity, and knew it was a low-key event), switched to my Curvy Bootcut jeans because the previous ones were sopping wet from being out in the rain. Applied a tad bit more olive shadow, a fine line of Maybelline's Ultra Liner in black to the top lash line, and Revlon's Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Pink Afterglow. I think the pictures my hubby takes are so funny because you can see how he is a foot taller than I; I look like a midget in his shots!

This weekend I went to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. While there I popped into a White House Black Market just to check out their fall collection. I found a black leather skirt that was almost perfection – if I had been taller and had less of a booty/mama pooch, I would have grabbed it. Not a…
Orange-red merino v-neck from J. Crew, white ribbed tank from Old Navy, dark “The Flirt” bootcut jeans from Old Navy, black low-top Converse “Chucks”, two coral glass-chip necklaces from a shop in Rehoboth Beach.

This is what I wore yesterday when I was the guest speaker at a class on blogging and marketing at Howard University. When I got home, Karl snapped a few photos. I wanted to look accessible but not too try-hard, polished but not stuffy. My friend who is the professor of the class offered a…
There’s something about fall where I gravitate towards warm neutrals. It’s like I want to match nature with autumnal hues seen in the drying grasses and falling leaves. It’s the time of year where I love wearing camel, gold jewelry, cream, ivory, and brown leather with pops of pumpkin, scarlet, and emerald. sweater | jeans…
