The No-Suit Suit…..

Hey all-
Happy its the end of Wednesday so only 2 more days of work Day… whoo hoo. Didn’t ya’ll know that its a holiday (well in J-Ville, it is). I woke up late, as usual for work and needed something QUICK to put on. These black skinnies are my go to and to make them less casual I always pair them with a jacket of some sort and heels. I also ALWAYS keep a pair of nude and a pair of black pumps at work JUST IN CASE. I am sooooo a just in case girl and detest not having things when I need them.
Its funny because after taking these pics, I was flipping through the September (best month ever for fashion) Issue of InStyle and I saw a pictorial on the “no suit suit” and I realized that is SOOOO what I did with this outfit ๐Ÿ˜‰ Who said I’m not a fashion leader lol, hahaha, and lmao
Thanks a million to my sis from another mister J-Leh for helping me with this VERY impromptu lunch time shoot. I really do need to get over my shyness of people watching me get pics taken. I know I should not care what they think but I also dont want to come cross s conceited or full of herself either… sigh! The fashion bloggers dilemna.

I know I am such the redundant chick but check the sentence below this one ๐Ÿ™‚

love these cheapie sandals that I bought at a lil shop in Columbia Heights. Seriously the Sports Zone on 14th has some of the cutest casual sandals for the summer. I always thought it was just sneakers, tennies and t-shirts but they actually have some darlin lil surprises ๐Ÿ™‚

p.s. please bare with me during this “i need a perm phase” that I am going through. It’s going to be braids, buns, topknots ad scarves till I do ๐Ÿ™‚

Blazer: H&M (worn HERE) similar one to purchase: HERE

    Nice casual chic outfit. That blazer is too fab! I don’t know what you’re talking about, but your hair looks great! I’m in a transition phase so I am struggling to get to the place where I’m comfortable with my….err…natural curl pattern, lol. Pray for me!

    So, so cute!!! I’m not typically a blazer fan (at least not for myself), but this outfit is well-put together and as always, looks comfy. Pretty good for rushing in the morning.
