This is the question I asked my hubby this morning before I left the house to a meeting. He laughed at me and then said...you should ask your blog followers that question...the skirt fits you really well why would you think that?...umm maybe because the skirt fits me! haha I quickly realized that half of my clothes don't really fit me all too well...either too tight or too lose I often don't ever pay attention to fit sometimes when I am obsessed with an item...do you guys do that? Anyway, this skirt from ThredUp is absolutely gorgeous in person..the piping is in all the right areas and I knew a special shirt had to be busted out to pair with it..that's right...my grey t-shirt...haven't worn this guy in a long time haha and well the heels...the heels have quickly become my go to heels for everyday....So even if some think this might be a little too sexy for work...I am wearing it...ALL DAY...so I will let you know how it goes ;O)

So not sure if you guys know..but my family is from Morocco ..so harem pants are something distant relatives used to wear when they came to visit and I swear my sister and I used think it looked like the women pooped in their pants haha and I hate to say it isn't much different now...I never did get on the Harem Train when they first came out...but for some reason I was SOOO excited to get my hands on a pair...obviously I had to snatch these up and well the verdict is...HAREM PANTS are AWESOME. haha SO comfortable yet still chic...I kinda wanna wear them every where... even though it may or may not look like I have pooped my pants...haha

on another note...today is and will always be a very hard day for me and my family...but I wanted to thank all of you, friends, and family who have reached out to me...I miss my mama every second of every day...
Love you guys! and Happy Friday!!!

P.P.S STAY TUNED For an exciting giveaway on Monday's Thrifters Anonymous!!! Will keep posting more from my week with ThredUP!!

Man..lately I have so been rebelling against business attire…partly due to the fact that you can barely breathe when you walk outside…don’t get me wrong..I LOVE Vegas, I LOVE the heat, and I LOVE summer…but it’s like brand new information every time I walk outside..haha Most of the time my hair is in a bun I am wearing the same skirt and tank to work with a blazer hanging on my chair in case I have a meeting. I was so pleased when I saw this skirt and when I put it on it was perfect…comfy…thrifted and super sexy haha ahh well.. I’m over the business attire don’t look sexy cuz you are a business women mentality. And heck…I am sure most my clients don’t even know that my whole outfit cost me $29 BUCKS…
So all you business women…I say we rally together…thrift our hearts out and get sexy for work…but let’s keep it classy…haha I always say if I am showing skin on top cover up the bottom..and vice versa…unless you are clubbing….then you wanna basically only cover your butt cheeks…since when did black bodycon dresses become all the rage? I saw 20 girls hobbling to the club the other day in spikey heels they couldn’t walk in and barely crotch covering dresses…oh to be young again haha

Tie Dye and Topshop: A Week with ThredUP Challenge Day 1

I must make a confession. These pics were taken over 5 weeks ago...yep...THAT is how behind I am on things...but I am getting caught up...There is a lot going on in this outfit haha let's start with my hair...you can't tell too much but I died it red...yep...this was a process for sure...and I am not one to mess with my hair but I bleached the whole thing...I know  I know...not a good thing but I love it....I just got it done this past week again for the second time and the color is awesome. 

Anyway. Let's get to my outfit for a week with ThredUP challenge! I am loving all these pieces and I must say these jeggings though a bit snug 5 weeks ago, are fitting me perfect today...SOOO comfy and Topshop? I need to start looking out for Topshop goods...This whole outfit is from ThredUP and I hand picked it THRIFTING ONLINE....I love saying that....The prices are a little higher then what you would typically find at your local thrift store, but realistically speaking they are still in the range...not to mention the convenience of shopping at your home...So all of you who tell me you HATE going into the thrift store...dealing with dressing rooms...and fighting aggressive LURKERS ...ALL of which I LOVE by the way, haha THIS is the place for you to shop. I need to find out more about their return policy but the delivery was fast and everything came in a box folded. 

So stay tuned for tomorrow and the next day as I remix all of THESE pieces, in case you missed it, all week!
