This morning, I was listening to Drake/Rihanna's "Take Care" while getting ready for church when I had the last minute genius idea to wear this dress and the belt backward.
What...I KNOW you're not judging ME!?!?
It could have been the other way around...
I could have been listening to Gospel...on the way to the CLUB!
Ummm hmmm.
*rolls eyes*
*sucks teeth*
I've worn this dress before...it's the same dress on my blog header.
I thought I would give the red dress a final spin before Spring officially arrives.
In other news...I'm wearing braids...errr...braided twists technically.
I was getting bored with my hair and wanted to give my fro a break so I decided to bring 1995 back.
Everyone raved about Solange when she wore her box braids circa Poetic Justice...(I raved too:)
So, I figured why not.
I'm enjoying the new look.
Dress: Thrifted by Juanette
Bag: Zara
Jewelry: Forever 21
Shoes: Steve Madden "Sarrina"
P.S...I'm going to a wedding next weekend and I'm hoping that the DJ plays either "Take Care" by Rihanna/Drake or the new song "Cake" by Rihanna/Chris Brown.
The bride reads my blog...let's see if she catches my hint/request!

For the GFS newbies...Christ Chic is simply what I wore to church:)

I am not judging you. No way.
ReplyDeletePeople often see us from the back, so why not give them something interesting to look at. I love the flares on the bottom of the dress, so gorgeous!
Lol at you subliminally requesting songs for the wedding you're going to. That is soo funny! Anywho, I LOVE the hair! You wear it so well. And the red looks gorge against your complexion! Wearing your belt and dress backwards is totally genius! You have inspired me.

You look great in that red dress, really liking the idea of the belt and dress turned backwards!! I might try this one day!!
ReplyDeleteThe braids are so cute on you!! If I had the patience to sit for hours to get braids I so would. My hair is natural and there are times I don't feel like having to do anything with it and braids would be soooo convenient!!
