Sweats and Stilettos

When I saw this look from Karlas Closet I desperately wanted to find slim fitting Adidas sweatpants, that I went to the kids section at Unique (thrift shop) hoping to find some that would fit me. No such luck.

 
 

Fast forward two weeks later, my daughter and I were looking for workout gear at the mall and we went into a sports store just for women and I found these Adidas sweats. I tried them suckas on and of course I said, "they done messed up now". The salesperson asked my daughter, "what did she say?", my daughter knowing me; translated, "she'll be coming here alot".

Look at me in the office trying to act like I don't know someone is taking my picture.
 
 
 
My stilletos are hurting my pinky toe.

Tanger Outlets in Myrtle Beach

Where should I start? I know, with the bag of the century (well, for me). This Coach bag was sitting on the shelf waiting for me. She was waiting for me even before the greeter at the door gave me a 50% off total purchase coupon. She got a little jealous when I looked at a teal blue tote. So, I picked her up, but I put her back on the shelf like a little Barbie doll. I walked around a packed store and then, all of a sudden, she whispered, "Mami, Mami" (that's what I call myself). She knew just what to say.



 
 
Next up, Mr. Micheal Kors. Just a little clutch with a pop of color.  This color is for all seasons. Bright enough for Spring/Summer and bold enough for Fall/Winter. Imagine wearing "all black everything" and carrying this clutch. Hotness!!
 
 
 
 
 
Last, but certainly not least, is this magenta crossbody Coach bag, that I picked up for my daughter.
We were trying to decide on which color. They had bone, black, navy blue, and orange.  Bone was too plain and if someone gets pen mark on it, you'd be like, "Oh no they didn't." Black was too common. Navy blue was too formal. Orange was too bold. But this color, said, "Boom, guess who stepped in the room".

 
 
Can't wait to rock all of them...

VACAY...

This past week, I was fortunate to go on vacation with my family and they really done messed up now, because this was the view from our condo.We stayed at the Barefoot Landing Resort and Yacht Club in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

 
 
 

 

We went to the beach three out of the seven days, it rained the rest. So on those days we went shopping. They have the Tanger Outlets and I can't wait to show you my finds...

LEATHER IS TRENDING!

Leather is all the rage! From Lebron James to Meek Mill, every rapper and/or baller can be seen rockin' leather these days.



Ok, so they really done messed up now. Because I got the idea to replicate this look by using a pair of faux leather leggings. I cut the sleeves off a black T-shirt that I got from Michael's. (3 for $10.00).  (I recommend slipping the legging on the arm and mark with chalk or pencil before cutting.)


Turned everything inside out and pinned them together and with my trusty sewing machine, sewed them together. (It took longer to pin it then to sew it).


My son was the inspiration/model for this creation. Voila!

The Bag Edition



So, I'm in my favorite thrift store, Unique, and I'm on a mission. I go to my usual sections, browse at the shoes, look at the housewares and then the clothes.

Ok, so, I had just came out of the dressing room after trying on a leather pencil skirt (didn't fit btw) and I saw this blood red Coach clutch. I had to reach over two shopping carts to snatch it up. The price was $35.99 and I didn't bat an eyelash, this puppy was coming home with me.




Bag: Coach


Now, I always wanted a Fendi bag, but didn't want the one with the double "F" monogram. I wanted a low key look. And I spotted this one for $19.99. I was like, "this, right here, is my, swag"! Shout out to Soldier Boy.






Last, but not least, my Louie. It was only $14.99. I already  have one, so I got this one for my daughter. Something little to throw your change purse and keys in.


 
I'm going to take the Coach to the Coach store to verify if it is real. They can check the serial number to see if it's authentic. The Fendi, I'll say it's "vintage" and the Louie, it looks good to me! TTFN, ta ta for now....

They done messed up now!

That's what I always say when I find something amazing.  It could be a store with clothes, a restaurant with bangin' food, website with accessories, jewelry, bags and shoes or even music artists. When I spot something I love; I look around and over my shoulder like does anyone else know about this and say "they done messed up now!"
