Thursday Hues of Blues (OOTD)

Thank GOD it's THURSDAY!  I don't know about y'alI; but I EARNED my paycheck this week, you hear me... A sistah worked hard for the moolah. I'm sooooo looking forward to my three-day weekend. This was an ExTrEmEly BUSY work week. I feel like I just played mental ping-pong for 10 hours, everytime I knocked one task out, another one followed. Anyway, enough about that-  Todays feauture outfit is simple. I'm wearing a cream ruffle knit top, blue jeans, a khaki colored blazer, pumps and a few accessories.

                      Take 1 (those aren't backpacks in the corner, thats just a  figment of your imagination)

Take 2 (much better right?)

                                               Em, em, em, that girl has an arch on huh

                                          Acessories are the key to adding the finishing touch to your outfit

Oh, How I Love Christmas....

Cold Weather Wear...

Greetings Beautiful People!!!

I'm still recovering from all  the Thanksgiving fun, so I won't be able to spend much time with you all today. A girl is in need of some rest... Turkey and Dressing seem to have that effect on me ;)

I hope you guys took time to reflect on the many blessings GOD has bestowed upon you and your loved ones over the years.... I tell you, when I think of all he has done for me, I get overjoyed *Can I get a Amen*

Now, since Christmas is only 32 days away [YIPPY], it was  only right for the hubby and I to start our search for the  perfect Christmas Tree.... Here's where we went 

                                    Taa Daaaahhhh----> This is the one we chose, it's a Fraser Fir <----

It was pretty chilly (52 degrees) so this is what I wore

Nighty Night, I hope you'll be kind enough to return to my site... Lol, I'm pretty poetic huh *wink, wink*

My Outfit Of The Day....

Today was a typical Monday, I knew I would be doing a lot of running around at work, so I decided to go with a simple 3 inch heel.  Check it out and tell me what you think....

Well, that's it... Hope you guys enjoyed this post. Sweet Dreams Angels!

Recap...

 My morning started out pretty early for a day off (7:00), my first stop was to drop my son off at school (for a basketball game)

Then I headed to the library to return these (not the shoe, that stays with me)

The library was closed so I dropped them off here

After I took my daughter to school, I went to see the emergency rescue team over at FX Nails... this is what they came up with, not to shabby huh

After finishing up at the nail shop, a sistah was HUNGRY, I decided to grab a quick breakfast 

Who can resist freshly squeezed OJ... em em *clears throat* Large Please...

After Breaky, I headed over to my daughter's school to hangout and attend the Thanksgiving luncheon and to see her do THIS

And THIS...

And THIS...

And THIS

And THIS

After I left the school, I went to the shop to get my DO DoNe... This is peaches, my stylist, isn't she darling

After all of that running around I was happy that I wore this

While in the grocery store I saw this

And THIS

When we got home we made this

After all of that, I drank this

SO, how was your day?
