| Chambray and Orange |
There's something mystical about Chambray that makes me want to wear it every single day!!! I love the versatility of it. How it's so universal (and unisex) and can be paired with literally ANYTHING and still manage to look like a million (and one) bucks!
I also consider the aspect family and friendship to be mystical. It's essence is insanely beautiful-there's no other way I can describe it. If you've been following you know that over the last week I've been dealing with the tragic and untimely death of a friend of mine. His homegoing was amazing and was celebrated on Memorial Day (so fitting for such a respectable man).
If this tragedy hasn't taught me anything else-I've learned to value family, friends, and life in general. You never know when you're going to take your last breath, say your last goodbye, or give your last hug. You never know just how much a simple phone call or a small word of wisdom can brighten someone else's day. Don't take life for granted. Live each day as if it were your last. And most importantly, make certain that those whom hold a special position in your life know exactly how much they mean to you-each and everyday!
How do you show love to friends and family? Please share..
I leave you with this:

How do you rock your chambray?
In other 'Word on the Street' news, I finally got the chance to see For Colored Girls. I know I'm late but better late than never, right? It was more than amazing and it can go without explanation or description. I would've never made it in the movie theater. I cried practically the whole entire movie-it was sooo touching and most of all it was relatable. Even if you aren't a colored girl, I encourage you to rent this expeditiously!!!
MY RATING-10/10
(I've never given a perfect score so that should tell you something)
What's your 'Word on the Street'?
Any great ideas, movies, new trends, or events that you would like to share?

I'm beginning to like the chambray look, but I haven't found the right shirt for me yet. Thank you so much for your comments on my blog! The shoes you asked about are from payless and I am pretty sure they are still available.
ReplyDeleteGo get it girl. You won't be disappointed as it will quickly become one of your go to pieces!!

I want more chambray. I have all different shades. I wish I could find a short sleeved one!
ReplyDeleteRockwell
Why thank you kindly!
ReplyDeleteRockwell
I really love the color pairing in your outfit. The chambray with the red is lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove your denim shirt!! So sorry to hear about your devastating loss! Hope you're makin it through!
ReplyDeleteMy Mom & I were just discussing this tonight. Life happens fast, without love we're nothing! All my family is spread out so we don't get to see each other as often as we'd like but luckily most of us (even Grandma!) are on Facebook and it really helps with knowing what's going on in the day to day. We like tagging silly photos or bringing up funny old memories from time to time. It's the little things that keep us bound by love <3. I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your friend :(
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note, I couldn't agree more with your comments regarding Chambray. It works with shorts or sequins!! Not many fabrics can pull that off!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeleteI love chambray shirts! I've got one but it isn't a full button-down. I'm still looking for the perfect one :) I love the outfit!!

ReplyDeleteIt's soo important to give love and make sure you express it daily in some way,shape, or form! My family is spread out as well and I will admit that I need to get better at communicating with them:-(
