Houndstooth tights... not for me

After having a Twitter chat with @deepQueenDiva, I realized that I didn't have enough tights in my wardrobe to try and look fabulous throughout the wonderfully cold Minnesota Winter months. lol! I ran out to Target and bought a few pairs of tights. This Houndstooth print was so cute on the rack. I still think they are cute, but they just may not be for me. The straight lines curve on my legs because of "what my momma gave me". lol! I'm not really feeling that, but I wore them anyway. I was only able to get a few pics this morning while my daughter was on her way to school (because of the lack of light at 5pm), but from them, I think the point is evident. No more straight line pattern tights for me. Maybe I will stick to colors only.

P.S., please excuse the bra strap. We were in a hurry. No way Tiana was missing her bus because of Momma's blog pics. LOL!!

Until next time...

1st Feature!!!

Hello out there! Is this thing on? I'm am so grateful and excited this morning. I woke up to see my face, yours truly on the blog of the very stylish Alissa over at Stylish Curves!! I was chosen to be featured as the Stylish Curves of the Day! How exciting! Seeing all of the wonderful women that she has previously chosen to be featured, lets me know that I'm in good company. I started this blog over a year ago and let it fall off the map because it lacked focus and direction. I started back up after being motivated by women of the blog world like Alissa, who showcased their personal style and didn't apologize for it. Thanks again Alissa! Until next time...

Here's an excerpt from the feature:

STYLISH CURVES OF THE DAY

Hey curvy girls all over world,Today's Stylish curvy girl is Ticka and here's what Ticka had to say about how she embraces her curves:
I embrace my curves by being me and being comfortable in my skin. I don't try to hide myself in oversized clothes and become invisible. I describe my style as comfortable & classy.

Weekend Girl...

Heeeyyyyy!! Who doesn't love a Saturday?! Just went around today and ran some errands. I harassed my daughter to take a few snapshots before we went in for the evening. Didn't get to a few of my local thrift stores like I wanted to, but I will be doing that SOON. I love reading about and seeing all of the thrifted finds that fellow bloggers come across. I'm hoping to have the same kind of luck. Style for less! That's my kind of shopping! Anyhoo, on to the OOTD.

Keeping with my theme of not wanting to wear black, I put on my army green button-down top, and a pair of jeans. I've had the brown wedges for a grip. I don't remember where they're from, but they sure are comfy. HAPPY SATURDAY! Until next time...

UPDATE!! I entered this look to participate in the Bloggers Do It Better Challenge over at Pretty Shiny Sparkly... Click the link to head on over to check out how other personal style bloggers do "Military Chic".

Gimme da light...

The only thing I knew for sure about today's outfit, was that I didn't want to wear ANY black or tan, and as little brown as possible. I have really been overly rocking those colors lately and it felt kind of boring (with the exception of my blue skirt earlier this week). So, I broke out my blue Old Navy skinnies! The red top that I'm wearing under my jean jacket is actually a halter dress. It's just tucked into my jeans =D. I rarely ever tuck shirts into jeans, and I haven't worn a regular belt around my waist in forever, so this was different for me. They are usually big belts worn high to cinch in dresses or shirts. HAPPY FRIDAY!! Yay me for taking pics in the daylight! Until next time...

Style Challenge... Day 3

If it seems like I'm complaining a lot about this light issue, that's because I am! lol!! All I can say is, I'm scouting a better place inside to take pics now. There was only one pic that I think came out well. Enough of my complaining (for now) and on to the challenge...

I wore a shirt/dress over a black pencil skirt. I have a different color of the same dress seen here. In the summer I wear them alone as dresses. So, the look is nothing new. I've never tried it with a skirt though. I like it. I also wanted to throw on a pair of shoes that didn't have a platform on them.

Holy tan line Batman!!

This challenge has enlightened me to the fact that I need more fun pieces in my wardrobe. I don't think I will be wearing a skirt tomorrow, because of "Casual Friday". I covered four days (wore a skirt on Monday that didn't count) this week and I think I did pretty damn good. =D Next weeks challenge is dresses. That might be a little tough because I'm in Minnesota, and it's getting COLD, but I think lots of tights and leggings will be in order. Until next time...

Style Challenge... Day 2

Ok, so I am beyond frustrated with the lack of light when I get home. More now that I'm blogging than ever before. Ugh! Is it bad that I want to leave work early so I can come home and take pics? lol! I wasn't going to post the pics of this outfit because they are so crappy, but since Momma didn't raise no punk, I decided to do it anyways. Today, I decided to put brown together with black again. I'm really starting to like that color combo. I added my cheetah belt for a touch of print. I must say, even though the pics didn't turn out good, I felt fab when I left the house this morning, and got lots of compliments at work about how "sassy" I looked. =D Until next time...
