Well, Well, Well …

According to my mother “wonders never cease but daily increase” .   Today I went to work, minding my own business, doing my own thing and pow … my supervisor calls me into her office.  She and I have a love hate relationship (right now we’re on love 😀 ) so I wasn’t sure what she wanted.  Then she hands me this paper bag with something inside.


What … a B. Makowsky handbag!!!!  😯   The taupe version of the satchel above.  Now although I like fashion, I’m not up on all the designers and the like out there and I hate trendy.  I go into stores, I know what I like and if I can afford it … I get it.

Apparently, her rich Jewish friend gifted her two of these puppies and she thought I could rock the taupe one better than she could.  So tonight I bring my “gift” home and decide to look up the designer.  This dang bag retails for $300.00 at Nordstroms.

Knock me over with a feather …  despite how much she frustrates the crap out of me sometimes, she likes me, she really, really likes me … and even if she doesn’t … I’m only gonna say … “thank ya very much” while I rock this bad boy for the summer.  😛     It ain’t a pay raise but it’s a nice addition to my wardrobe at the price I LOVE …. FREEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!  😛

What I’m Doing Next Saturday …

No, it never ends … there’s always something to do …   Last spring and summer it wasn’t like that; I spent a lot of Saturdays at home but this year it seems as if my spring and summer are going to be loaded with things to see and do.

Next Saturday involves:

This hairstyle:

These shoes:


And this dress:

and I was instructed 🙄 to get some pearl jewelry, but this diva got pearls with a mixture of silver so the silver sandals would have some balance in the outfit.  Hell yes … I own my new name Stacia London (as of Stacy London on What Not To Wear). 😀

Mmm hmm …  yet another go at being a bridesmaid … not a bride.  My cousin in Philly is getting married next Saturday and I’m part of her bridal party.  I was a bit hesitant with this dress because of my tummy and my wide shoulders, but with a pair of spanx and the right jewelry, I can’t believe how svelte and curvy I look.  Now,  I’m looking forward to wearing the shyt outta this dress especially as the only P.S.D (plus-sized diva) in the bridal party.  Yes … I’m gonna follow Rupal’s advice and do this:

U BEDDA WERK!!!!!!!!!!  😀

And I will, cause my cousin and her SIL (brother’s wife) think I can’t put an outfit together.  That I’m country … like we don’t come from the same island in the sun.  🙄 They wanted to tell me what kind of jewelry to buy, what kind of shoes I should wear … and quelle horreur  … “what are you going to do with those locs?”  Poor babies … they just can’t let this curvilious woman be great.

Since I’m not going out like no punk, next Saturday … it’ll be on … 😀

Pics and stories to follow … after the event …
