Good Morning ASW readers!! It’s been a while since I have blogged but I have had a lot going on. I sure hope that you all are doing well and that you are enjoying the holiday season so far. This past Friday night I went to a staff holiday party which was so much fun. The picture above is me with what I wore to the party on Friday. I know that many of you all are attending holiday parties so I thought I would share with you all some ideas on what to wear. I know we are all on a budget this holiday season so I made sure that the dresses were reasonably priced as well as the accessories. I hope that you will find the information useful and I know you all will look stunning in your dresses!

The dress that I wore to last weeks party ↑ is something that I have had for a while. I wore it to an engagement party that I attended a couple of years ago. I thought that it looked festive enough to wear and I was happy because I didn’t have to buy anything lol. I know that we all love to go out and buy ourselves something new but sometimes it is best to recycle the clothing that is in your closet. Clothes are meant to be worn not to just sit in your closet. A few years ago I would rarely repeat some of the items in my closet but I have learned to utilize all the items in my closet because 1) It saves money and time 2) I get to wear the item again.

Good Afternoon readers!! I hope everyone had an outstanding weekend. I sure did. I am so excited about this week because Friday, November 11 is Veterans Day which means NO SCHOOL!!! Woot WoOt. Special shout out to all the veterans including my grandfather and my daddy!

SoOooo guess what readers??? Next Tuesday, November 15, I am attending the Watch the Throne Concert at the American Airlines Arena. I know a couple of my readers are attending as well so I thought that I’d put together a few looks that you could consider wearing to the concert. I apologize in advance for not including the brands and prices for the items but wordpress was acting up and I wasn’t able to include them in the post. I did include a list of places where I think these items could be purchased at reasonable prices. Enjoy!

Ladies we always say these 5 words: I have nothing to wear! I know for a fact that I can testify to that because I am quick to tell a friend that I need to head to the mall and pick up something to wear for whatever occasion I am going to. It is hard for ladies to find things to wear when we are going on a date, especially if it the FIRST date! Those are tough ones because you want to make a great impression on the person and everything needs to be right!

I put together a picture collage of some of my favorite celebrities who have been out on dates with their loved ones. As you can see I have some celebrities wearing dressy attire and some who are casual attire. It all just depends on where you are going. For example, the post that I did the other day was about Angela Simmons, the daughter of Rev Run, who wore a cute dress to a basketball game but in my opinion and others it was entirely too dressy to be worn at a basketball game. You have to dress for the occasion else you will probably feel out of place.

Below are some looks I have put together. I hope you will find them useful.
