Hot Stuff

It was 90 degrees at 10am this morning. I expect that kind of heat in Tennessee, but not New Jersey. The first day of summer came in with a heat wave; and nearly crippled the HVAC system in my office building.  Because of the stifling heat, I decided to forgo going out to lunch. So naturally, I was starving by the end of the work day. This evening, I met up with my girls, Nicole and Kenya, to go to the mall. The purpose was to assist Nicole with finding a blouse for her bridal shower. She's getting married Labor Day weekend! However, I was intent on getting Chick-Fil-A as soon as possible. Love that place!

Unfortunately, MISSION Find-Nic-a-Blouse was a bust, but she has a little over a week to find something stunning. Of course, when I go to the mall with intentions to help someone else, I find deals for myself. All I have to say is Forever 21. One of my favorite stores. Typically, I don't go for pleats, but this cute color block accordion skirt beckoned me to the point that I had to buy it. I don't usually share my finds prior to wearing them, but I'll make this exception cause it's so darn fabulous. The pic is posted below, but it looks so much better on me:) I'll share my rendition at a later time.

The last 4 years, I've really let my fashion sense fall by the wayside. Long nights in the library instead of the gym didn't help my girlish figure either. So, I'm buying pieces here and there to spruce up the wardrobe and get back in the style game. Look out world, here I come:)
Pow3rful in Him, Chris
