The Q.U.E.E.N of Spring | OOTD

I didn't really have

any ambition at all.

I was born very far

from where I was

supposed to be,

and so,

I'm on my way

home

-- Bob Dylan

Budweiser Shirt- Target | Grey Bodycon skirt- Forever21

Ohio State Buckeyes Nike Blazers

I love springtime! This outfit is so simple and so perfect. I can definitely see this being my springtime uniform. I really don't have plans for today other than hanging out with some friends and maybe getting dinner so this outfit allows me to be cute, casual and comfortable. I have been dying to buy a Budweiser shirt for awhile now. I don't know what it is about the logo that is absolutely to die for but I adore it. The red blue and white logo seems so American flag-esque and I love that trend. I am so obsessed with wearing over-sized shirts as dresses. I think it looks so effortlessly chic. These dope Nike Blazers have literally been in my closet for years and today is my first time wearing them. I love finding things in my closet and falling in love with them all over again. 

Janelle Monae is such an awe-inspiring artist, not only is she talented but she has that classy chic, sexy without trying, I'm just gonna do me while y'all try to imitate each other kinda vibe. I absolutely adore her style; it just fits her. Any who I don't remember how I heard her new track "Q.U.E.E.N" featuring the one and only Erykah Badu but I was hooked instantly. I find myself randomly singing the song  and I love the message behind the lyrics and video.

And if you didn't know, The Booty Don't Lie ...

22 and a Vet in the Game | OOTD

Try to learn to breathe deeply, 

really to taste food when you eat,

and when you sleep, really to sleep.

Try as much as possible

to be wholly alive with all your might,

and when you laugh, laugh like hell.

and when you get angry, 

get good and angry.

TRY TO BE ALIVE,

you'll be dead soon enough.

-- Ernest Hemingway

Happy Birthday to Me ... Happy Birthday to Me. Happy Birthday Dear Siatta, Happy Birthday to Me!!

You guessed right, Today is my day of birth. Today I turned 22. Wow babygirl is getting old. I always make a big deal out of my birthday but this year I decided to tone it down a bit and just relax. I have been so busy this whole entire year that it felt good to just relax and spend time with family and friends. I am so grateful for the many blessings given to me and for the chance to live my life the way I want. I have so many plans for this upcoming year and I hope I can see all of them accomplished. Today I wanted to be comfortable and wear something that totally captured my personality. So this spunky outfit was born. I am such a sucker for Pop Culture graphics on t-shirts. I have watched The Hangover way too many times and it is definitely a favorite movie of mine so when I saw Alan on a thrift adventure, I decided to make him mine. I used to cringe at the thought of wearing white bottoms but now I welcome them with open arms. I can see me wearing white shorts a lot this summer. Everyone knows I have an obsession with socks, and this pair happens to be my favorite. These booties scream summer to me and they were not the expected shoe pairing to this outfit. Lastly I am wearing a Neon Pink Miami Heat snap back instead of a beanie. * Pause for shock and uproar * I know,I know, I must be sick. This hat is to die for though so I put the beanie away for today. Change can be a good thing.

Like I said earlier, I am 22 years young. Taylor Swift has a song called "22" and I think it just nailed how I feel about this upcoming year of life on the head. It's cute and upbeat as a T. Swift song should be and the lyrics are catchy. This song is definitely my new ringtone and will continue to be for the rest of this year. So I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22 ...

Neon Orange Authentic Vans

Happy Mother's Day to all those wonderful Moms out there. I love Sundays especially when the weather is amazing and I get to spend time with my family. Today I was forced to attend my nephew's baseball game. I am not a fan of baseball but I love the kid so I went. One good thing that came out of it was me falling in love with bleachers and finding new backdrops for my picture taking shenanigans. Forever 21 has seriously stepped up their game in all areas lately; they're designs are dope, they're materials seem better quality and their pricing has remained the same. I am literally falling in love with everything I see when I walk in the store which is how this tee landed into my basket. I love disco pants, they just are probably the best legging-esque type pants ever made. They are just effortlessly chic. I decided to grunge this outfit up with a plaid button down tied at my waist. These neon vans just make a statement and that's exactly what this outfit needed; another statement piece. I once again grabbed my 10th Tribe Downtown beanie. I felt comfy in this outfit which was perfect for a Sunday Funday with the Family at the ball park.

I love alternative rappers, and how not everyone has to rap about money, sex and drugs to make a hit. Of course I fell in love with Chance the Rapper's "Favorite Song" after one listen. It's just a good windows down, wind blowing your hair kinda song. I'm all about good vibes and this song has it. Plus it features Childish Gambino who I recently found out was an actor. I live for multi-talented people. Now let's see if this becomes your favorite song ...

self harm.

I hate when people tell me I have to "dress up" for an event ... Like what in the world does that even mean. Not wearing sweats, leggings, or a hoodie classifies as dressing up for me. I am such a jean, t shirt and chucks kinda girl that it's sad. Well later on tonite, I am going to a party for all those who graduated college and it's a "grown and sexy" kinda party. So naturally I want to wear jean shorts and a graphic tee but I decided to class up my look a bit. I have been in love love love with the Sports Luxe trend where sporty items are paired with more glamorous ones. This is my interpretation of the trend. As soon as I saw this shirt on Forever 21's website, I knew I hat to have it. It gives me this A$AP Rocky vibe and I fell instantly in love. I love the lose fit of these shorts and how they just flow. Nothing says "This girl has class" more than a blazer. I don't fully understand how throwing on a blazer can completely transform an outfit, it's a fashion mystery. This outfit turned out way better than I envisioned. I finally am part of the tribe, 10th tribe that is. I love limited edition items and 10th tribe just gave me the chance to be one of the few people around the world who own this beanie. I have decided to continue wearing beanies until I can no longer bear it this summer. I wish I could have purchased this downtown beanie in the winter so I could get more wear out of it but I guess I'll have to wait until the fall. I love how I feel "grown and sexy" but 100% like me. It's pretty dope how I can dress in a way that is foreign to me and still have it suit my personal style

Now anybody who knows me knows that Iggy Azalea is one of my inspirations is life. Her music slays, her style slays, her body slays and her personality slays. I pretty much am in love with her. I call her my ride-or-die chic and play her music when I wanna get a little ratchet. She dropped a new single called "Bounce" and that's exactly what it makes me wanna do. 

So bounce with me and my ride-or-die chick Iggy ...
