I stated in a previous blog post that I would try to get back to my natural hair ways in 2017 so here it is…my little fro fro. It honestly tears me up inside when I look back at old pictures of my poppin fro 😦 anyway, I committed to less heat this year so after my birthday I’ll be puff balls and twist outs for the next few months.

Also, I have talked a lot about my love/hate relationship with Zara because their clothes are always so trendy and cute but the quality is pretty horrific. So I’ve decided that I will only shop at Zara during their twice yearly sale. This top was $50 when I first had my eye on it around October, 3 months later I scored this top for $15.99! And this is the stuff I’m talking about!! Sooooo many pieces that I purchased in the last few months were on SUPER SALE. I’m talking 79.90 marked down to 19.99. I was highly irritated to say the least. As a result, I am making a declaration to only purchase at Zara during their sales because I just cannot. Spending $80 on a pair of pants that rip two weeks later is just not in the cards for me…19.99 I think I can do.

*The Zara items I am wearing here are sold out online but you can check your local store if you are interested*

SN: I really have to get back into the gym as the little bit of curves I had are disappearing into fluff. Peace!

So by now I’m sure you all can tell that I am a frequent Zara shopper. Definitely guaranteed to be on trend if you shop there but BEWARE. Zara’s clothing is certainly cute but you really have to be selective about the pieces you purchase. Their price point tends to be higher than the H&M’s and Forever21’s but the quality is pretty much the same if not worse than the aforementioned stores. This dress happened to be $39.90 which I think is a decent price for the wear that I’ll get out of it. It’s another versatile piece that I can dress up or throw on some cute sneakers and cross body bag to dress down. The midi length of this dress is perfect and flatters my shape (or lack thereof LOL) and height. Sooo cute.

I also would like to take this time to shout out all of my creative directors and photographers…you know who you are!

These faux leather overalls have been sitting in my closet for over a year now and I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve worn them. Dinner with my family was the perfect time to break them back out. To keep things casual, I paired my overalls with a grunge graphic tee and cutout booties. These overalls are amazing because they can be dressed up or down. I’ve worn these with both heels and sneakers and love both looks. The versatility makes the overalls a staple in my closet. Although these particular overalls are sold out, black denim in a similar style will still get the job done making this look #DateNightApproved

Also, I don’t know if you’ve heard but Nasty Gal has curated vintage designer items available now on their website…it’s pretty life changing…check it out here
