All The World Is A Stage

Hi all, I went out with a gentleman friend last Thursday.  He surprised with a really lovely play.  I am big into theatre and the arts.  I've heard of Porgy and Bess, but I have never seen the play before.  I am also very fond of Afro cultural events, and this play is about an African American community in the South.  Although I did not know where I was going, I figured I should look decent, the only instructions that I got were to wear comfortable shoes.

I am not a fan of bright yellow, because I always feel like it washes me out and makes me look pale.  However, now that summer is here, and I have tanned, yellow looks much better on me.

Hi (waving ecstatically), hope you all had a great weekend.  I had a fun but slightly expensive weekend.  I will definitely be laying low this coming weekend.  As you probably assumed, these pics were taken in a library.  No, I don't just go take pics in the library lol.  Whenever I need to get things done, or serious thinking, I like to go someplace quiet.  I can not work/think in noise, AT ALL.  Ever since I was a child, the library has always been my refuge.  Books are my escape and they've allowed me to expand my horizons in more ways than I could have ever imagined.  I am so fortune to have had teachers and mentors who encouraged and supported my love of reading and thirst for knowledge.  I still have a bunch of books from my childhood, that I can't wait to share with my future children.

I'm loving a red lip these days.  I used to shy away from bright lips and I never went anywhere near lipstick.  I thought it was better suited to church ladies.  Oh how far I've come.

I love the paisley design and the material of this dress.  The colors are so soft and neutral.  I found it very easy to style and it's a comfortable dress.  However, I think I'm going to retire this little beauty.  I noticed the  seams seemed to be coming loose, and the material frays a lot.  I've had this dress for over a year, and she has done very well by me.   I'm not sure if I should just toss it, or if I should donate it to Goodwill?  What do you fine readers think?

 I loved this belt the moment I laid eyes on her.  However we weren't quite a perfect fit, so I took her to be fixed and now it's a match made in AJ Wright!
