MY STYLE JOURNAL: MIXING THINGS UP

March 3, 2017

Hey beauties, happy PHAT Girl Friday!Maui of PHAT Girl Fresh

I know that you have heard a thousand times that variety is the spice of life. While you may be tired of hearing it, you can’t deny the fact that it is the truth. No one is here for doing the same things day in and day out, that is a horrible way to exist in a world that has so much to offer. You must be willing to spice things up a bit; even if it is not routine, mixing things up from time to time never hurt anyone (well it never hurt me)! Truth is, no matter how you look at life or what area of life you want to discuss, you will find that adding a little flavor and stirring the pot provides great results.

Just like anything else in life, you must be willing to mix things up in regards to fashion. Now you know I am not afraid to do that because like I have told you before, I wear what I want! Forget following rules, that is boring and I don’t do boring in everyday living and I damn sure don’t do it with fashion!

Last month after paying for another week at that damn hotel, I had a little money left over and all I could hear was Dae Dae (even though I thought he was Future) and that damn money machine in my head. So yeah, I decided to “spend it!” I made a purchase from eShakti for a few goodies that I had been eyeballing. Yeah, I was supposed to be saving but I needed just a little retail therapy and I caught a sale (insert Kanye shrug).

 

When I finally received the skirt, I ordered from eShakti (yep it took a while for one of my pieces to come), it came with two scarves since it was tardy (for the party). One of the scarves was the same pattern as the skirt, the other had polka dots. So, when It was time to create a look to shoot with my photographer, I decided to mix things up and pair my striped skirt with my polka dot scarf.Maui Of PHAT Girl Fresh

Yeah, I know… stripes and polka dots don’t go together per society. However, again I say… I WEAR WHAT I WANT AND I AM NOT AFRAID TO MIX THINGS UP!

This is not a post about fashion. This is a friendly reminder that the way you style your life determines how successful you are and the influence you offer the world. How you style your life connects you to your purpose and living your purpose draws you closer to God. Your style can’t be mimicked or  matched; it is a muscle only you can flex.

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.
