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
Shoes: Jessica Simpson
Jewelry: Forever 21
P.S....For my new followers, Christ Chic posts are simply what I wore to church:)

Super cute!!! And I feel ya bout the Whitney thing because I enjoyed that home going celebration to the fullest!!!! Somebody learned who Christ was if they didn't know...
I cried like a baby when they played her song as her body was carried out of the church....
I still can't believe she is dead. I was so mad I did not want to cry or even think about it. But how could I? She used to me make me cry coz her voice was so powerful yet sweet. Now that she is gone, I am afraid that I will shed tears evertytime I hear her. You should read the poem I wrote for her at odetofashion.blogspot.com
Nice outfit and like You I did dance with somebody yesterday (have you checked the vid, She was fashionably fierce)
I love the outlook and I believe the same. I am comforted that she is with the Lord sis!
Sidenote: Be on the look out for me sis! I quit my job and will be arting full time! I will be in touch!
That's awesome! I love people who go for it!

Yeah, I've decided I can't watch anymore specials or news about Whitney. I'm not ready to hear any of her songs yet.

I watched the service. It was great. Of course I enjoyed the mainstays like Bishop Jakes and Pastor Winans.
I think it was a great way to remember her.
Digging the collar. CUTE!
Thank you! I forgot I had the collar. I bought it earlier this year. Now I'm trying to wear it with everything!

I enjoyed it too. I kept saying Cissy Houston is not playing with her baby's homegoing. It really was special. I thought it was genuine ,tasteful and uplifting. I never want to see it again though. It was too heartwrenching for me.

That's what did it for me too. I was on the phone with my friend Juanette and we both like "awww man, why did they had to play her song in the end." We were both "done" after that.

Love, love, love that collar! And I agree, Whitney's service was everything. I can't believe it was broadcast over CNN, that's just... wow.
You'd better preach! People who never saw the inside of a church were touched by Whitney's homegoing and saying how the service made them want to go to church. P.S.: You look amazing!
Beautiful...
I am with you! The whole world was in chuch' this past Saturday! It was a beautifully moving homegoing. Your outfit is divine! Enjoy Style Council!
YES! YES! YES! I completely agree that Whitney's homegoing service was all that and more! I am so glad that I found out about your blog via Prissy's site! Good to see other Christian DIVAs out there that are FAB, sexy, and Fashioniable! Be sure to stop by my newly made blog www.FashionistaStyles.com
Prissy sent you! Yay!!!!
Frenchy's mmmmmmmm...
um, YOU LOOK SINFULLY CHIC IN THAT OUTFIT!
Girl, I love you!!! I pray someone made the life changing decision to follow Christ, during or after the homegoing of Whitney.
Btw, I need that handbag in my life!
