birthday suit

No, it isn’t THAT type of birthday suit you are thinking of, lol! I initially set to publish this post last Tuesday, on my birthday but I ended up not being able to, for reasons that are irrelevant now. Since I had already begun working on it, I decided to just go with the title I had chosen for it and also for sentimental birthday reasons.  As much as I want to deny it, autumn/fall is upon us! I have started wearing lighter coats and jackets and have slowly brought out my cold-weather appropriate dresses, this blue/purple dress being one of them. I love a classic shift dress that never goes out of style as they are the easiest to wear! Shift dresses are almost like blank palettes that you can play around with – dress it up or down, accessorize it (or not), wear it for summer, fall or all year round, whatever it is that you wish to do with it, the dress won’t complain and also won’t betray you after a big, hearty lunch! Haha.  I really think a flattering shift dress is a must in every woman’s closet. Trust me when I say that this can easily become your best  friend on days that you feel like you have absolutely nothing to wear!

 As always, thank you so much for reading and see you on my next post!

Second post, here we go! Trying to get the ball rolling as much as I can, so please bear with me and my procrastinating ways, haha!  It turned out to be a beautiful afternoon in Seattle, after a dreary start to the day, so I decided to drag my trusty photographer/cousin Tim and headed to Lincoln Park, because, well, Seattlelites and Parks are a given on a sunny day. We tried to take photos that would showcase the scenic views and share it with everyone but it just was not working out, sorry about that! So for now, you are stuck with a brick wall and me… and some greenery.

I have been dabbling  with mixing  prints since last year, nothing too drastic but just articles of clothing or colors that complement  each other.  It feels like stepping out of my comfort zone  but only taking baby steps, so don’t expect me don a full on Lady gaga inspired outfit in the near future… No. haha!  I decided that adding a neutral shoe helps to tone down how busy an outfit looks so that is what I did here. :)

I just want to say thank you for everyone that took a little bit of time out of their busy lives to read my blog. I greatly appreciate the love! Shout out to my cousin Gea and my brother Naz for helping my technologically illiterate brain understand possibly 3% of what has been done to this blog so far! :)

Thanks for reading!!! :)
