Simply Grey

Sooo its been a while, yeah I know! 

But its not my fault, I promise! Schools been a little hectic these past 2 weeks. Im trying my best to balance everything out evenly. I had to pick up a couple extra shifts at my job because my student aid didn't cover everything. Boooo!!! The struggles been real, real!!! 

On the plus side I finally got to wear my grey maxi from Asos. The material on this dress is just perfect, it sits perfect, it moves perfect, and it feels perfect. I could honestly wear it everyday but that would be a little gross. Lol

So I'm a southern girl! And us southern girls are not use to cold weather. But boy let me tell you, with the way it got cold here in houston (out of no where) I had to get use to it, and fast!!! Because apparently its gonna be like this for a while. 39º and windy, not cool! 

I really need to go shopping for a good coat because my hoodies, sweaters, and cardigans are not cutting it. On the plus side, the sun finally decided to show face the other day so I was able to wear my cardigan and not freeze to death!
Hope Hump Day and enjoy the rest of the week!

Hope everyone had fun getting dress up for Halloween, I know I did! I'm currently in school so I'm balling on a budget. And since I'm on a budget there was no way I was going to spend $70-$150-$200 on a costume, so I went threw my closet and threw some things together. The end result was this Japanese warrior character lady. The only things I purchased was the swords, the fan, and the wig, all together I spent $43 which is not bad at all.

The reactions from my friends were priceless when they saw my costume, which was exactly what I was going for!

Coming up with a halloween costume can be fun, easy, and cheap. You just have to be open to your options and willing to look. Thrift shops or second hand shops can be a great alternative when your looking for an inexpensive or fun way to put a costume together.

Now I can't wait for next Halloween, time to start thinking of what I'll be next!

As always have a great week!!

I had a great 24th Birthday last friday (10/17/14)!!! Celebrated by having a simple dinner with my closest girl friends at Ra Sushi. And of course, like always I was late to my own bday dinner. Lol its all good, they expected that of me. I'm always late! My lateness was due to my unexpected wardrobe malfunction! I had a whole outfit planed out in my head, but for some reason when I put it together in real life it was an epic FAIL!!! Its a good thing that I had recently gone thrifting and had this skirt in my closet! 

 Thats it for now! Hope all my Libras had a great month and great birth days! 

p.s Happy Birthday to this crazy Chick

So last weekend I got to attend my very first wedding! Can you believe all 23 years I've been breathing I've never been to a wedding! I know crazy right! 

The Bride and Groom were beautiful in there tradition african attire. The wedding on the other hand was not so traditional. Instead of doing the same old thing where you stand in front of the priest and recite your vows, they walked, better yet danced down the the aisle with their brides maids and and grooms men. Then they played a little game where the bride had to search for her husband in the hall. Which you'd think would be a easy task, but there had to be over 200 people in that hall. That didn't stop her though she and her brides maids formed a line and made their way around every single table till she found her husband. It was a such a fun wedding and of course the food was great, you can't beat a free african meal! lol. 

For my outfit I wanted to wear something flowy and effortless, that didn't happen though! I searched high and low for a long dress with some kind of african print, or even something plain that I could have put some African print on. Came up empty handed, till I remembered that I  had this dress from Topshop I'd never worn. It was actually perfect for the occasion. Paired it with some nude heels from Aldo and my cardigan from Forever 21. 

The wedding was an awesome experience, hope everyones has a great week and great rest of the weekend!

Its so hot on campus, keeping cool is a bit of a struggle! So, I like to keep it super simple and easy.

I threw on this cute little simple crop top I got from F21 and these boho hippie style pants I thrifted from the Salvation Army Family store. The pants are super comfortable and the material is really light and flowly. Keeping me nice and cool during my long walks in the scorching heat on my way to class!
