Love this Skirt

 

In the past couple of years, I believe things have shaken up a bit at Lane Bryant, because their clothes are getting cuter and cuter!  This skirt I actually bought last Summer and wore it a few times but never photographed.  On this Hot Jersey City day I paired with a stripped shirt from Forever21 that I had for a while and BAM!  My natural hair topped it off!

This was a good night!

Color and Pattern

I'm not gonna lie I love black.  It makes me feel comfortable and always in, because contrary to popular belief it will never go out!  But when I had a performance at school for R&B Pop/Ensemble the teacher/band leader said, "Samille wear color, you always wear black"!  I was like, "EEK...GAD", he noticed?  That means they all notice so I was like okay, okay!  I will!  I had this Fuscia cut-out racer back button up from Forever21 for a while and then after I bought it I thought, ITS NOT ME!!!  Cut outs?  I don't know if I could say I am that comfortable wearing something like that!  But I must have bought it for a reason.  So the  thought came to me that the color mixed with these pattern tights from Torrid, could work.  So off I went.  I tried to pair my lipstick to match.  I think I did a okay job.  Not a full blown Make-up-ista, but it was decent!

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.

Kiyonna Pencil Skirt

 

If you follow me on INSTAGRAM @thickspot then you know I have made the plunge and got my first weave!  It was for a look in particular that I was going for, but honestly I am in love!  I got it done by a fabulous hair stylist that goes by the name of the, Weave Dr.!  How appealing right?  And sooo worth it and now I plan to try more styles and more things in the near future. 
 
With that said, this post is really about one of my closet's most essential items.  This Black Pencil Skirt by Kiyonna that I got at K-Station Plus size Boutique in Baltimore last October.  If you missed it, read it Here.  I have worn this many times but never had anyone to really take any pics of me!  I got my friend to snap some before I took it down for the evening.  So chic!  The Boutique owner sold me on it by making sure I understood that the construction of the skirt was official and it was something that wouldn't rip easily or get too worn in.  That it is a staple item to last forever, classic and always in style.  So with that I had to have it!  I have already got a lot of wear out of it.  This was more of a professional serious look.  I had other boots on when I first went outside that day.  But my feet started to hurt so I opted for my black sweater boots from K-Mart!  So comfortable. 
 
Hopefully when I go to visit my sister this summer I can stop in at K-Station again for a another splurge the owner Jade is always ready to help.

My week in Performance

Not everything on this blog is about fashion.  I mean its about my... life!  And as much as I love clothes, and shoes, and make up, and purses, I really, really LOVE theatre! 

 

My first love has always been theatre.  And many of you know I sing and act and perform.  And being a big girl on stage is just as much of a challenge as being a big girl in everyday life.  No pitty party here, just being real.  People are more offended by my fat and YOUR fat than I am.  And when it is center stage people may feel uncomfortable.  The costume designer is busy trying to find something to make you feel comfortable, to make the director feel comfortable and the audience.  This has always been the case for me being on stage since I can remember.  So this past week I was in CABARET the musical as a dancer (go figure) and it was a lot of fun.  The costume of course as I said was challenging.  My costume consisted of a pair of leggings from TORRID, a black sequin shirt from TORRID and my own K-MART LOVE YOUR STYLE shorts from their very first season.  Not to mention the SPANXX!  The costume designer added some sequins and fringe to the shorts.

 

 

I also performed in CONNETICUT with the UNITY ENSEMBLE here on Campus as NJCU!  Our usual attire is all black with our on African flare.  I wore DKNY pants from Lane Bryant and a blouse from H&M!

 

 

However, coming up I have this scholarship benefit concert here at NJCU that the head of the department asked me to be a part of, and its turning into something bigger than I originally though.  I am in search for a gown.  Like OPERA/DIVA style.  And that is something I am not use to shopping for.  This should be interesting.  The last picture is a pic of my friend Richard staring at my poster.

Hope u enjoy, there will be a fashion post soon!

 

 

Burnt leggings. Rainy day!

So as you have noticed I haven't blogged in a while.  I've been busy, busy, busy!  I haven't had time for much.  However I am itching to do sooo many wonderful things.  This is my spring brek and I am currently in rehearsal for two shows.  This spring break is being spent on CABARET.  NJCU's spring musical.  I promised myself I make time for blogging over my break.  All pieces of this outfit has been on my blog before, just not together.

It was raining from the moment I woke up today which makes it very difficult for me to go about my business, mainly because I get gloomy and lazy.  To counter-act that I decided to go for a brighter outfit to make my errand running a little bit easier.  And by the time I got to school for rehearsal there was a moment of sunshine so I got one of my classmates to snap some pics.  Wild hair styled by the humidy, some vender geek glasses made this look very me!
