Outfit: Top | Pants | Shoes - Similar | Bag - Similar
This outfit jumped out to me immediately when I opened Eloquii's website. I was immediately drawn to the soft leopard print and floral print. I mean florals and leopards mixed together are my jam. I knew I wanted it, then I started to psych myself out with my fashion math. Will I wear it, does it make sense, can it fit into my wardrobe. Honestly all of these are great questions to ask when shopping, but sometimes you need to let the joy of an outfit move you to purchase. There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying things because they bring you pure joy and will continue to bring you joy over and over again.
As far as fit goes I'm wearing a 20 in both pieces and probably would like the bottoms in a size 22. It has absolutely no stretch, so if you have a larger arms or thighs, you might want to keep that in mind when ordering. I am not at all disappointed by the look, definitely my favorite purchase of the summer!
What have y'all been buying? What's sparking joy in your wardrobe?
Thank you for reading!

Happy Valentine's Day my Loves! I'm another year into this single girls Valentine's Day and I've been looking forward to it! I love Valentine's Day! It's my absolute favorite holiday and you can miss me with all of the arguments on the commercialization of the holiday. I got that memo and I reject it. Last year I gave you a bunch of fun things that Single Girls can do to celebrate this holiday, and those are still fun things to do. This year I have decided to indulge in a week of things that bring me joy and love. Here are a few of those things:
1. Laugh and talk with my Girlfriends
2. Wearing red
3. Watching the Winter Olympics with my Parents
4. Re-reading my favorite book (The Alchemist)
5. Having my favorite meal (sushi)
6. Drinking my favorite cocktail
7. Getting a facial, a mani and a pedi
8. Buying myself something new and impractical
9. Donating money to a worthy cause
10. Going to movies
11. Celebrating Black Panther release (cause it's totally a holiday)
12. Going to the art museum
13. Taking a long nap
14. Go to Church
That's just a few of them. I hope you have a wonderful day, no week filled with joy and love. We are all deserving of joy and love! I also need to just remind you that if you're feeling lonely on this day and any day please reach out to me! I will be happy to listen to you and tell you how wonderfully amazing you are!
Thank you for reading! I love you!

Happy New Year Everyone!!! I hope you had a fabulous holiday season! As I was looking through my blog one of the things I hardly ever talk about is work wear. Which is odd, since I spend most of my time at work. So I want to introduce to you 9 to 5 To Stay Alive a series that I will post to discuss work wear and any questions you have about it! Though my office is business casual there is still occasions when I have to dress up for different events. When I first started out in my career I wore suits and stockings daily and how quickly I realized that wasn't the life for me. My ever present need to represent my feelings through fashion always rears it's head no matter what.
This year I want to include a few more post on work wear. Honestly it can be hard to navigate through and easy to lose yourself in what you think is appropriate. Injecting your personal style into your work style isn't as hard as you might think. It can be as simple as wearing your favorite color, or your favorite shape of suit, or even your accessories.
If you follow me on Pinterest then you know I love a good suit. Suiting can be so powerful, but with the wrong cut and the wrong shape it can also be dowdy. When I saw this suit at Eloquii's headquarters back in November I knew it had to be mine. The shape of the sleeves, the easy fit of the pants it was too perfect to not add to my wardrobe. All of the styling possibilities of these two pieces went running through my mind!
So how do you feel about work wear? What is your style when it comes to what you wear to work? Do you have any questions on work wear?
Thank you for reading!

Have you ever had an outfit make to make you feel like a boss? Like a bonafide boss? Well this one made me feel like the biggest boss ever! It was love at first sight when this suit dropped on Eloquii! Who wouldn't be obsessed with a ruffled sleeve blazer!!! Sorry don't mean to yell, but this is the type of fashion that really gets me excited. The ruffles on this blazer are the perfect detail to take an item from a basic piece to a piece of art.
When I put this on I felt like a street style star on the way to a show in Paris, or like I could conquer the deal when I walked into the boardroom. The blazer is also super easy to mix and match with jeans. Sigh... Would y'all noticed if I wore this everyday? Okay I guess you would. As far as fit goes, I got a 20 in the jacket and a 22 in the pants which are my normal Eloquii sizes.
This suit has been sitting in my closet waiting for them to get it back in, but it's still a waitlisted item. But I can't say enough that if you're interested get on the waitlist. I love that Eloquii restocks items that are in high demand.
Thank you for reading!
