Asos Peplum

 

I've been eyeing this stripped Asos Peplum for a while now!  For one, I love stripes, ( in fact I'm wearing tripes right now!) but I was also unsure of the peplum style.  Considering I carry most of my weight in my stomach ( I don't like it and am working on it) I was afraid it wound enhance it.  But I'm actually really happy with the peplum style, and plan to incorporate more into my wardrobe.  I also think its a great way to make any outfit more feminine, without adding flowers n such.  I paired it with this stretchy bandage skirt I've had in my closet for a while  Different from the pencil skirt by Kiyonna from the last post.  But just as cute n comfy.  Paired it with my favorite thrifted bag I've been rocking for the past few months n whipped out these Steve Madden boots that I've been dying to wear.  Since I could never get my hands on the Jeffrey Campbell starburst these were the next best thing.  I wore my LOVE earrings from Asos too!  Didn't really get to see them in these pics but check out my INSTAGRAM @thickspot, you will see them there.  It felt good.

Hiatus over!

I know I haven't blogged since July.  Honestly a lot has happened in my life in the past few months that made it difficult to continue blogging.  But I am ready to enter into this world again.  Resilant and ready!  I hope my followers are still with me.  If u follow me on twitter (@thickspot) or instagram (@thickspot) you may have been keeping up with my rants.  From relationship woes to sensational stage achievements.  As you may know by know I am a musical theatre performer.  A singer, a actor and this summer I worked on and just recently completed my very first Opera!  It was a blast.  But now I am back to my school work.  I'm in my senior year of college and I am just trying to stay focus to complete everything that I need to complete and to continue learning since there is always more to know.  I'm still performing and I love that.  Still creating, and still shopping.  Still reading NYLON MAGAZINE, and keeping up with the blogs and bloggers that I fell in love with long before my own blog begin.

Yesterday I tweeted a pic of a semi-simple outfit that I took a self portrait of on INSTAGRAM.  There I said how I was looking for someone to take pictures of me in it.  Well my girl Shay came through for me and here it is.  I hope you enjoy, and welcome me back with open arms.

Hello March: Me and my Panel leggings welcome u!

Last month I didn't have a lot of posts mainly because I was busy working on and performing my play!  What a blast!  What a blessing!  What a time, man!  Sometimes I feel like I spread myself to thin, but then I seem to somehow accomplish things.  The last weekend for the play starts tonight.  Thursday @ 7, Fri & Sat @ 8 and Sunday @3!  The details are over at www.atticensemble.org.  I made the Jersey Journal with it too.  That's kinda dope! 

                                                      Here's a pic from The Jersey Journal

Well it doesn't stop there, I leave for Chattanooga TN, on Tuesday for the SETC's (South Eastern Theatre Conference) where I get to audition for over 200 professional theatre companies at once in hopes to book employment acting and singing for the summer!  I am sooo excited.  I'm getting my outfits together for the trip and I hope I can make at least one post while I'm there, but I'm going to take a bunch of picture's and definitely give the blog an update when I get back.

I got these Asos panel leggings while there were on sale in December and I love them!  I rocked them with this Metallic sweater by American Rag that I've had my eye on for a while on over at  www.Macys.com.  I'm happy to say I did not pay full price for either item and that the weather has been so crazy lately that I wore this with a light jacket and it was all good.  I matched it with my favorite combat boots that have turned out to be my go to item this season, especially with all the walking I do and Wah-la~!  I think I achieved that sexy, easy, comfort feeling that I love so much!

I'm taking this outfit or some version of it to Tennessee as well!

OOTD: ASOS

On Saturday the 18th, I finally got to wear two items from my favorite online store, Asos.  I had this black dress for a while and as far as the skirt I bought it when it went on sale during it's winter clearance. (both items are gone now) 

My school was holding the NATS competition. (National Association of Teacher's Singing)    I was entered into the Musical Theatre Competition and I had the opportunity to change into a different outfit so I was like ok cool!  I bought the two outfits and at first I was like 4get it I'm not gonna change, everyone sounded sooo good and the day was getting longer and longer.  Especially considering I woke up at 7:00am, which is NOT a common thing over at mi casa!  But my darling, darling friend and fellow singer, Liam persuaded me to change.  He said, "if not for the competition than for Whitney!"  (LOL we are so crazy, we had to do the competition but wanted to go to NEWARK for the funeral)  So we did and headed over to the auditorium waiting for the results of the competition.  The first place winner's of each division had to be ready to sing right then and there.  And after waiting all day I was in complete total shock when they announced my name and that I won the Musical Theatre Division!!!  (I also never ran in heels before either and ran all the way up to the podium to receive my award.)  Talk about cloud 9!

It wasn't until this year that they even offered the Musical Theatre division.  So I'm kinda like the first to win it ever!!!  That's really cool!  I'm real grateful and figured I share it on my blog, along with some pics of the day!

NOW THE WINNING LOOK~~~!

I Kinda feel un-creative for wearing outfit#2 the same way it was online, but I had both pieces at different times and wanted to make something work!  Hope its not corny, there will be other ways to style this in the near future!
