GFS Christ Chic: Denial

Here are all the things I tried to do to avoid accepting the Whitney Houston news:

1. Watch comedies

2. Play Words with Friends

3. Watch House Lies (with Don Cheadle)

4. Watch hours of Friday Night Lights

5. Eat Frenchy's Chicken

6. Catch up on episodes of The Good Wife (soooo good!)

7. Catch up on Up All Night (Maya Rudolph is a comic genius)

8. Planned outfits to pack for The Texas Style Council Conference in a few weeks

But alas, I had to watch the homegoing celebration on CNN.

And honeyyyyyyyy, I've never been so proud to be a believer! 

A believer in Christ, just to be clear.

I'm not a bible thumper and I would suck at being a deacon's wife just because of the dress code but I know what I know.

I am convinced that Whitney's homegoing brought somebody to Christ. 

THAT...was Whitney's final and greatest gift of all.

Now dance to I Wanna Dance with Somebody.

Because I am:)

Dress & Faux Fur Collar: H&M

Bag: American Apparel

It's A Phase

I've been into pants lately.

Say Your Goodbyes

Here are some more shots of the skirt I wore to the ballet this weekend. 

Enjoy the length now because the next time you see it, it will be knee length.:)

My hair looks like I cut it but I just did a twist out and pinned it up on the sides/back and shaped it.

 Say goodbye to the long black skirt!

My First Ballet!

I was asked out of the blue to go to see The Moulin Rouge ballet performance.
I've never been to one so I jumped at the chance!

Thank you Arianne for the invite!

Just wanted to show you a sneak peek.

It was too dark outside to take good pics so I'll take better pics and repost.

Special thanks to Chastity for gifting me the skirt!

My intention was to get it shortened but decided to wear it in its original state one time before I altered it. 

Admittedly, the skirt is a whole lot of drama but when else will I get the opportunity to wear a ballet skirt to a real ballet!??!

Go tulle or go home!

Happy Birthday Mama!

Today is my mom's birthday. Happy Birthday Mama!

The lady who keeps her computer on TMZ.com.

She's going to call me in a few days to tell me that Beyonce' is pregnant by "some" rapper named Jay-Z.

And I'll just smile and say, "For real!?!?  Hmpph, I hadn't heard that one."

Pause.

*blinks hard*

Gotta love my mama!

2012

Happy New Year!

Hopefully you prosper in all ways that are great!

I go back and forth about making a list of goals every year. 

You know...the cliche' of it all. 

I think it works for some people. Not for others. Not sure where I fall into that. 

I do have a pretty good mental note going though:)

Do you make resolutions?

Have you stuck to them in the past?

Do tell:)
