Let's Start Over

Hello everyone,
It's been a long time since I decided to venture onto my blog again. I liked blogging but with the major transitions that were happening in my life it made it very difficult to continue with it on a regular basis. So what are these major transitions that I speak of? Well I'm now a full time student in a graduate program and let me tell you, it's kicking my butt. The volume of reading that I have already did has been overwhelming, and it's only been like two weeks



 The outfit is simple and very fall inspired, and cost less than $40 minus the handbag. I got the dress at Zara last season on sale. The heels are thrifted. The dress also captures the hot trend of oxblood or burgundy  for the fall.

 The handbag is one of my favorite handbags and the few luxury items that I own. If you follow me, you may know that I love a bargain and love thrifting. However, when I saw this item 8 months ago, I had to have it. It has been sitting in my closet for awhile unfortunately. However, recently I have been wearing it months straight.
Anyways more to come stay tuned,
Sincerely Miss J

Alive and Well

Hey everyone, its been awhile since I sat down and blogged. Its not that I did not have anything to blog about, but it was the mere thought of sitting down for some time and blogging. However, I am  back because some people have been asking me where I have gone to.
Anyways, not much has been happening, same old stuff. I  have been working, and wokring on some other personal things  that  have been capturing most of my time. However, hoepfully I can take some time to blog.
Okay, on to some  important stuff. I have an outfit of the day post for you all, this is something I wore for church the other day. Nice and simple like I like it, so hopefully  you all enjoy it. 
I  really love this simple navy blue dress, its so easy to dress down or up. I  also really dig the shoes that I fell in love with because of how different they were.

Trend alert: Mint Green fever






Hello everyone, so spring is here and the sun we had a week ago has gone away . So with the few sun shine we had, I busted out a spring outfit in celebration. I must say, I'm really liking the mint green trend and I'm happy that its making an appearance more and more in stores. I had brought this dress almost a year ago but had no where to wear it to or how to wear it until now!
Anyways, I hope you all have a nice week, hoped you enjoyed the outfit post

In a better mindstate

Hey everyone, howdy! How have you all been doing?? I am so grateful to be writing this today, feeling 100% better. I have been unwell off and on for two weeks, and I'm glad I am feeling better just in time to enjoy the beautiful warm weather.
So what have I been doing? Well working and when I can, getting out there and trying to have fun. So, I have two outfit posts in one today. Nice eh! These are very simple transition outfits from winter to spring, last week was warm but it was also windy as well.
Now, I purchased these boots on sale a few months ago, but I really did not like them until now! Now these are my go to boots, love them! You can wear them with jeans, tights, skirts, and dresses.
Outfit #1

I wore this outfit to the mall the other day.
Outfit #2

Now, I wore the second outfit having a relaxing day with a friend downtown. The top and skirt was thrifted a few months ago. Now, I am not a skirt or dress wearer but I'm beginning to think that it will be my fav. thing this sping and summer. I feel so free!
Anyways, I'm excited for spring, time to get your spring cleaning on!!
Until Next time,
Sincerely Miss J

Everyday Diva Contest WINNERS

Hey everyone, I just wanted to express how excited I was when I saw this video on youtube a few days ago. I love this diva ( borderhammer)'s youtube channel, and when I saw she was hosting a thrift contest I had to be all on that! So I entered it about 3 months ago, and she just recently annonced the the winner, and I was runner up!

Now, I do have a youtube account but I do not use it only because I don't have a decent video camera and I don't have much time.Maybe one day!
Anyways, Until next time

Winter Fun, snow tubing

Hey everyone, I am back with another post, this one is a bit different
than the usual, its more personal. On saturday I went snow tubing for the first time and I loved it. Who knew that I would be happy to see snow.


In terms of the outfit, it was all about the all black everything, winter gear with hints of gray.
Snow tubing is a great activity  for the whole family, but if your someone who is afraid of heights and speed then this may not be for you!! Anyways, hope this inspired someone to try something new. So I leave you with these words

Price for snow tubing $22
Gas divided by 4 people $7.75
Feeling like a kid again, priceless

Enjoy your week everyone,
Sincerely Miss J
