QUEEN BEE



--The Braided Crown --


Sweater: Target / Lipstick: Sephora - lipstick creams



If you happen to have thick hair like me you will get this. If you know me you probably have observed that my hair is usually falling in my face. It is a blessing and a curse because sometimes you want it OUT of the way.  I was so excited that my hair was long enough to try this. I know braiding your hair isn't a new idea but for me trying it like this was just that. Once upon a time, I had the glorious 'undercut' on the left side making this braid quite the accomplishment! 


My mom growing up actually fixed my hair like this. A big ole' french braid right across my head. I am sure it was more on the end of making her life easier by keeping it out of my face rather than for cute looks. I was quite the rascal. Anyways...ladies if you need to get that hair out of your face and want a braid to actually stay...try the french braid! It does the trick. Not to mention, adds a little charm to your overall look of the day.

CLASSY CASUAL



"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. 
Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."

- CoCo Chanel











First, I apologize for the quality of the photos. I did not have my camera at the moment so my handy iPhone had to suffice 

  Here are a few ways I styled simply a pencil skirt with a vintage blouse. Since it has been quite on the COLD  side I mixed matched grey tights with knee highs.

Cheers to making the old the new!
