The Final Stand Up...

Hello Wednesday!!!

I hope everyone is doing well. I can hardly believe that the week is almost over-but I'm thankful nonetheless. I always look forward to the weekends. Today's outfit post was inspired by the Trendy Tuesday installment that I created last week. It highlighted polka dots and gingham. I had never thought to put the two patterns together, however, I was quite pleased with how it turned out. 

I wore this 'fit to see Steve Harvey's final stand-up show a couple of weeks ago. Luckily the weather in my area is still a bit cool during the evening so I was able to get away with layering this thrifted sweater over my gingham button up.

The blue gingham added somewhat of a decent contrast to the bright red. With both of my tops being so bold in color I was undecided about what kind of bottoms to put on. I didn't want anything too drastic so I went with these stonewashed skinnies. I actually love them because they work well with any combination. They're really thin too so they can also be worn as leggings.

My old faithful Paisley pumps from Target sealed the deal here!

Now, on to Steve Harvey. He is a complete and utter fool. I went to one of his shows a while back when was in Charlotte, NC. Myself, my mother, and a few others took a 4 hour road trip to see him. That's how much I love him. Not only is he extremely funny but he is an incredible inspiration for me. Each and every morning I listen to his radio show-from 6AM-612AM he hosts an inspirational segment wherein he discusses how his faith in God has allowed him to be the huge success that he is today. He explains how we must make God first in everything that we do in order to receive life in abundance.  His radio show never fails to keep me laughing hysterically on my way to work in the mornings. I'm so glad that I got to see him in concert one last time before he retires from stand up. I'm totally looking forward to his new talk show coming this fall as well. I'm going out to purchase a DV-R just for that reason. I'm a bit obsessed.

Who is the one celebrity (or even non-celebrity) figure that gives you inspiration? The one whom you will always support no matter what? I'm so interested to hear your answers.

Thanks for reading!

Everday is My Day...I Do it MY WAY...Everyday!!!

It's Monday...I'm cold and I'm dragging my feet!  I hope everyone had a beautimous weekend!  Mine was gorgeous aside from the fact that I didn't get to visit Bath and Body Works to use my coupon for a FREE traveling size lotion.  I had been planning all weekend to go and of course with work and studying, time got away from me.  It sucks because those type of do dads make for good stocking stuffers and impromptu gifts for special occasions.  I DID, however, get to use my FREE rental coupon at REDBOX. (Yes, I AM a coupon collector! My BF thinks that it's hilarious, but I say it's all about being 'thrifty'!) Might I add, that Redbox is the greatest invention since sliced bread!!  It's convienient and it's wildly inexpensive.  For 7 bucks, I can rent a different movie for each night.  The best part about it is that you can rent from one location and return at a totally different location if you happen to be running errands for the day.  I LOVES it and will continue to be a faithful Redboxer.  By the way, I rented Salt; I will be sure to tell you how it was on Wednesday when I host 'Word On The Street Wednesday', my new linky party where you can share movies you've watched, good books that you've read, cool new music that you've heard (or concerts you've attended), or even awesome artwork that you've seen.  I'm oh so excited about that!  Another thing I'm excited about is Everyday, Everywear, something new created by my bloggirlfriends Linda and Liz.  Each month they will choose a new clothing item and allow their friends out in the blogosphere to post pics detailing how they styled the selected items.  First on the list was Gingham and though it is extremely tough to photograph (because my camera sucks so it comes out looking like a big mass of squiggly lines), here's how I styled mine...

Red AGAIN!!!

Well my friends, I believe that's all...don't forget to come back on Wednesday for 'Word on the Street Wednesday' (please bear with me as I figure this linky thing out) to hear what I thought about the movie 'Salt'.
