My guide to essential work attire

Hey ladies!

I'm excited to share the news with you ladies that I have entered the world of day shift work and leaving the nigh owl lifestyle behind, which also motivates me to DRESS FOR SUCCESS!

Nude shoes with a lower heel the ones pictured are 4 inches from forever 21 and cost $27.80 LOVE THE LOOK AND THE PRICE! Nude is great because it can be paired with colors, prints and standard black and white! So i will get a lot of wear out of these beauties.

Dark colored trousers I have a navy blue pair pictured down below from forever 21 of course priced at $22.80. I could opt for a black pair but navy does something for me! I believe the navy pair will get me buy until i am ready to purchase a black pair. The trouser works well for me because of the wider bottom and will allow me to wear my low heel or boot with them without the boots looking chunky as they could with an ankle cut pant

The white and hot pink top: both from forever 21 and both are priced at $17.80 white is a staple that every girl should have in her wardrobe dress up or down for work or play. The POP of color i need to keep my sanity in the office HA! Pink does it for me but you can find the POP you need!

Last but not least the BLACK PENCIL SKIRT need i say more? KEY PIECE for business attire! Can be worn with an array of tops, tights and shoes it can almost never be done wrong!

Well ladies here you have it I'm bringing in the new year with my tailored and cute work attire along with an array of accessories but here are the basics hope you ladies enjoyed this until next time HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

My skin care journey

I have been struggling with acne and it's horrible scars for years now, since about middle school!

Formula 10.0.6 deep down detox ultra cleansing mud mask(thats a mouth full lol)
The body shop tea tree oil face mask

Moisturize: The Body Shop tea tree oil Blemish fade Night lotion

Morning routine: Much more simple!

Ultimate outlet let down

I had the pleasure of visiting the Philadelphia Premium Outlet Mall and I must say I was highly disappointed!!

I visited the Ralph Lauren outlet store and I was shocked to see that a 3 pack of men's v necks was on sale for $34.99! Regular price $38! Well in Macy's their retail price for the very same item is $32.50!!! Excuse me I smell a rip off!

Next I visited my favorite designers store Michael Kors!! I was in HEAVEN until I looked at all of the sale signs and realized some of the "sale" prices were $20-30 off the original price! Not in this day and age of eBay, tj maxx, Marshall's, and Ross will you retailers take off $20 and call it an outlet store!

Needless to say ladies and gents please do not waste your time, gas and money! You want to save some money this holiday season? Here's some tips:

-Shop online
-compare prices
-shop discount store ie, Tj maxx
-ask store associates about upcoming sales ie, friends and family!
-be smart and understand not everything is a deal!

Until next time!
