How This Faux Leather Skirt Took Me Everywhere I Needed To Go

October 10, 2016

Maui of PHAT GIRL FRESH Truth is not every woman has Beyonce’s wardrobe. Many women are not financially capable of shopping for a new outfit for every occasion. I know because I am one of those women. Yes, I love fashion but with two teenagers (one is a graduating senior and the other is a baby diva) and being a new homeowner; mama can’t afford to just throw it in the bag. However, despite my tight budget and limited funds, I still find a way to slay!

Personally, I lean on my style to assure that I slay the scene because I know that in the end, that matters more. I purchase pieces knowing that I have the ability to style and wear them several different ways. Based on the occasion, where I am going and the weather; most (if not all) of my clothing can be paired with other items to create a look that gives life in it’s own way.

 

“Clothes are nothing until they are placed on a confident body with style”

 

Although I am sure that most of you get what I am saying, I am still going to give you a visual. Why? Because seeing is believing and… I need yall to know how cute this faux leather skirt from Eloquii is. LOL!

 

MY STYLE JOURNAL 

 

WERK. WERK. WERK. WERK. WERK. WERK. We all know that a diva has to do work and even at work, you have to slay!

Family, relationships and work can be a lot for any woman. One of the important parts of a woman’s life is self care; you have to make sure that you take time for you. Whether it is hanging with the girls, shopping or just a day at the salon, me time is a must!

There has always been this myth that fat girls can’t serve up a little sexy but that is a lie! We are just as sexy as we know we are and I must admit, the fellas agree. A woman should never be afraid to flaunt her assets, like they say… “IF YOU GOT IT FLAUNT IT!” Maui Bigelow of PHAT Girl Fresh

I just love this skirt, it is available up to a size 24 which means that many of my extended plus girls can rock with it too. Depending on your proportions, you may be able to wear this skirt even if you normally wear a 26 or 28. You all know that I am about fit more than size and although I wear a 24, I am not ashamed to go higher or afraid to go lower.

So, tell me ladies… How do your transition your fashion favorites?

This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly th This is God’s doing! I still remember vividly the way I felt when I found out I was pregnant with my son. I remember the day I planned to abort him. I damn near remember every moment that I have shared with him over the last 23 years and every moment I had with God on his behalf. As we prepare for yet another amazing moment, I am grateful. 

Grateful that God loved me enough to bless me with this joyful black boy. Grateful that he was patient as I grew from girl to woman while being his mother. Grateful that he inspired me to push past every roadblock placed in my path. 

@youknowitszaydoe, I am so proud of you and I love you far beyond any words, actions, or material items, black man. I once called you sun because you shined like one but truthfully you out shine the sun, son. i pray that you receive and cherish every good and perfect thing God has for you. I pray you continue to pursue your purpose with passion. Most of all I pray that and abundance of love and light surround you and that despite life challenges you never cower in the face of adversity.
