recently had a day off.

a day off to blog.

a day off to run errands.

a day off to donate 5 boxes of clothing, shoes, books, etc to the salvation army.

a day off to relax & be lazy.

& a day off to dress down.

so before i begin the fashion challenge i have volunteered to do (silly girl), i am working my hardest to hoard every last piece of amazing clothing i can get my hands on these days. i even went to the mall recently to visit H&M, which i haven't liked for almost a year now. but since i am following more fashion bloggers than ever, i have spotted some really cute pieces they have purchased & put together on their blogs. i must say, H&M has stepped up quite a bit for their spring, summer & fall collections. i damn near spent $200 in there last week, when i usually spend less than $50 in there. but anyhow, this outfit has nothing to do with H&M besides the gorgeous burgundy necklace around my neck. isn't she pretty?

i purchased this high low dress by poetry sometime late last month at ross (don't you just love that store) & for awhile i was contemplating on taking it back. originally, this dress was sort of blah to me, but i wore it a couple of more times until i fell in love with it. i was going for a bohemian look, & the only thing i regret about this outift is wearing a black belt instead of a brown one. i'll switch it up next time.

anyhow, i hope you enjoy.

well,

my vacation has come to an end. i must admit, although i miss home, i will miss navassa as well. the country is quite different from the loud & busy streets of atlanta…plus i won’t be able to see my family as often…

for this trip i purchased this peplum top & necklace from CR. the top runs up to an xl & this is the only color i saw it in. it’s priced at $17. the jeggings are from walmart, which i got for a lovely $3 & my shoes are by paprika which i got for under $15 at ross.

the white bracelet is from heritage (aka XX1) & the baby blue one is from a local hair store. my hair is in senegalese twist, which you can learn more about from this previous post-- http://kayeeshia.blogspot.com/2012/07/senegalese-twist.html

hope you all enjoy this post.

my second night in the carolinas i partied at king david’s in myrtle beach for my cousin’s 28th birthday. she celebrated with two other people for their birthday & the theme was all white. i purchase my forever dress from ross for only $13. yes, i know. what a steal! this dress is comfortable with a classic look to it.

i paired it with some jewels from forever21. check out my july collective haul on
