Let's count all the style rules that I'm probably breaking...
(Thank you Ashley of Mocha Mommies for taking pics & being a dreamweaver!)
1. Stripes are a no-no on those "thick in the hips"
2. Top heavy chicks shouldn't wear loose fitting tops
3. Matching is necessary
4. Style bloggers should not repeat clothes (I'm not sure if that's a rule)
I pretty much broke them all. When I was 3 or 4 years old, I kissed a hot stove because somebody said don't touch it. It's what I do. Doesn't always work out for me. But it will never be from the lack of trying:)

I ordered a dress from ASOS last year & it arrived in that beautiful fabric. I decided to stuff one of my large clutches in it.

What better way to thank you for all the encouraging comments, calls, emails, text messages and even some job leads about my "unfortunate post" earlier this week:)
One of you will win a dress from SHABBY APPLE! Have you heard of them? Their women's dresses are fabulous and I am especially partial to their vintage "inspired" line of dresses.

So you know you look like the deacon's bougie wife at church right?! (the one that thinks she too good to belong to the little church and should be at the big one across the street). But you are definitely rocking the hell out of that hat and I absolutely love the shoes!
It's only funny because it's so true! I would be that deacon's wife that never showed up to any of the bake sales and side eyed all the crying children in the church! LOL
P.S...thanks for all the kind words about my little mention in Essence Magazine! We're all friends in each others heads! And a big THANK YOU to the CFO, photographer, sponsor, temperamental financier, part time health advisor (meaning he usually has to stop my knee from bleeding when I fall and bust my butt daily) also known as "the dude". Thanks Sean for spearheading Team GFS from the beginning:)

Does anyone else have an invisible monster thief in their house? It can't be just me! I lose socks and slips and forks all the time! I have no idea how it happens! It baffles me. I never have forks in my house...never...and I practically live alone!
Socks? Forget about it. If you ever ran up on me while I work out (which is never) and yanked my pants up, you will expose one foot with a gray puma sock and the other foot with my nephew's little league footbal sock. I never keep socks!! NEVER. It's crazy!
The same goes for this dress. I have a black slip that I wear under this because it's so sheer. I've seen it all week and this morning when I woke up...SLIP GONE! I don't get it. I will admit that I schlep a travel bag sometimes because I'm visiting the dude...but geesh... Who is stealing my stuff!?!
If you see a random person walking around with socks and a slip while eating their dinner with my forks...tell them I said GIVE ME MY STUFF BACK!
I have a treat for you! Shoe Clips is sponsoring the first EVER GFS giveaway! Remember those shoe clips I rocked last week?
Well, one of you lucky people will get to win a pair of your very own shoe clips. Specifically...these Ultrasuede Bow Ocelot shoe clips valued at $42! I figured since animal prints are all the rage this season...why not rock the clips on your shoes. Chances are you can use them to cinch a jacket that's a little loose in the back or even clip to a belt to add a little interest to a simple outfit.
All you have to do is:
1. Be a follower of my blog (or subscriber) (International readers are welcome!)
2. Leave a comment telling me how you would rock your Shoe Clips.
3. If you tweet this giveaway, leave a separate comment here in this post as a second entry.(My tweet tag: godsfaveshoe)
4. If you link this giveaway, leave a separate third comment here.
5. That's It! I will randomly draw a winner after the contest closes.
No more entries after Friday, October 8. Good luck! Thank you Lynn @Shoe Clips for the giveaway!
Also, I got to DIY my own purse over at I SPY DIY! My purse was chosen as a finalist! Hop on over there and look at the pretty, pretty purses then choose #5 because it's mine...that is if you think I deserve it:)
(Of course, mine would be the only one with an animal print!)
