Some Like It Bright

But you already know that I like it bright, right?!

Yes, in my mind the brighter the hue, the better. I can't explain why, but for as long as I can remember, I've always gravitated toward the brightest of hues. Long before it was "in style" or "on trend"...

I step outside my comfort zone by challenging myself to wear neutral colors, like black or tan.

There's simply no denying it, some like it bright! Do share, what's your style preference?

Faux Wrap Dress and a Turban on Top

What's a gal to do when the humidity reaches 100% and her natural hair refuses to conform to any proposed style?

I decided to try my first run at wearing a scarf as a turban!

I'll be the first to admit that I can certainly use additional practice, but for the first go at it I was pretty pleased :)

The biggest challenge was to smooth out my thick mane underneath, but I think that can be remedied with an additional scarf and or stocking cap underneath.

Since I must wear clothes when going outside, I opted for this faux wrap dress. FYI- I dress up 9 times out of 10! 

This dress has quarter length sleeves which reminds me of Fall, although present temperatures are anything but Fall-like. If you're in the throws of the Fall cool down, a dress like this one is perfect for mild days and chilly nights.  

I added a few accessories and I was ready to face the day ahead.
