Joanna: You know what, Stan, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair, like your pretty boy over there, Brian, why don’t you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?
Stan, Chotchkie’s Manager: Well, I thought I remembered you saying that you wanted to express yourself.
Joanna: Yeah. You know what, yeah, I do. I do want to express myself, okay. And I don’t need 37 pieces of flair to do it.
I immediately thought of Office Space when I decided to jazz up my denim jacket with buttons from Tees in the Trap aka my flair! I didn’t hit 37 pieces of flair but I sure added spunk to this basic jacket!
The warmer months also make it difficult for me to wear most jewelry because I am highly allergic to nickel and alot of other metals. Combine perspiration and those metals and its a recipe for a green tinted and bumpy mess for me. I decided to play around with a scarf as neckwear and I think I really like how its turning out. Have you guys tried out scarves as neckwear yet?
I had some serious difficulty with this post and it played on my growing insecurities about my weight. Overall I am happy with myself as a person and I truly believe that there is nothing at all wrong with being curvy. I however do not feel healthy. I have put on a lot of weight in the last 3 months and I attribute it to new medication I am on for my nose issues, a poor diet laced with fast food and of course my break from playing football or any sport for that matter. I would not care what size I was as long as I felt healthy but right now I am teetering on size 14 with a 35 inch waist and I know that is not good for me. Since moving to the DC area 7 years ago, I have put on 28lbs, 8 inches to my waist, and 3 inches in EACH thigh! Craziness right?
You may wonder why I am going on and on about my weight and I promise I am not in a complaining mood. I am leading up to something…..
I have decided to feature my fitness journey on the blog. I still very much will be style focused but want to infuse other parts of my life into Comme Coco. I will be adding far more of my photography which will post every Friday, fitness will be on Tuesdays, and the rest of the week will be interior decorating and style! As I grow, so shall the blog!
But back to the flair!
As you can clearly see in this pic-these pants do not fit me well at all! I certainly did not take my own advice about being cautious of the fit of your clothes!
Jacket: Express (old) | T-Shirt: LnA | Red Pants: Ann Taylor | Hat: Target | Buttons: Tees in the Trap | Lipstick: Ruby Woo | Neckscarf: Vintage similar | Sunglasses: Vintage
I have put on weight since moving to Jacksonville. I believe it comes from being in a city that makes me so unhappy. My husband noticed my sadness and in July we are moving back to South Florida. I plan to get back to my blogging at that time and will document my fitness journey as well.
Aww dont be sad mama! Make teh best of whatever and wherever you are! But South Florida will be awesome. I think the best time to start your blog is NOW! Just do it…. I cannot wait to read it
