HAPPY THANKSGIVING

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Helloooo everybody!!!

 Am in such a joyful mood today. Must be the weather..

 Anyway, it is Thanks giving and apart from getting ready to feast on some turkey, mashed potatoes, greens, stuffing….and so much more. I'm taking this moment to be grateful. For my family who loves me beyond measure and are ok with unconventional ways. For friends who are always there for me through the good times and the bad. Now those, those are the ones you keep really close. They are members of my family as well. For you my dear reader, who has been reading my posts from day one, or found a link along the way and decided to click on it. Thank you. I am also grateful for the gift of life, ever wondered how many people wanted to see this beautiful day and they didn’t? You have. Make it count.

Every time I get on social media or turn on the news channel on Tv, I get bitter, heated, or angry. Sometimes I am dumbstruck at the avalanche of negative news coming straight at me. I start wondering what is happening to our society. Have we lost our humanity?

I once saw a quote that said something along these lines, “Humanity is the keystone that holds nations and men together. When that collapses, the whole structure crumbles.”

To be honest I can give a dissertation on humanity but I believe I will be left with more questions than answers? I choose not to dwell on it today. I choose to dwell on the positive. The great things in life that make it worth living to see another day. The awesome things in life that will forever be cherished.

Hear me out. The most amazing thing with gratitude is that no one will ever tell you it is enough. People love feeling appreciated. It goes along way. Be it the waiter who refilled your glass of water at the restuarant, the guy who held the door open for you, the woman who told you politely that the dry flat tag on your shirt collar was peeking, the teenage boy bagging your groceries at Whole foods, or the gentleman that held the elevator doors for you. Saying thank you goes a long way. Dish it out. It’s not a jar of milk, it won’t run out.

With Thanksgiving celebration marks the beginning of the festive season. A season to be joyful and as that song goes it’s the most wonderful time of the year. May this celebration give us much more to be thankful for.

Gold and nude was my color palette today. Gold is always festive, and since I'm  in such a festive mood, my vintage skirt with gold prints will do. Paired it with a nude furry sweater and nude high heeled sandals.

As always thank you for stopping by. 

Happy Thanksgiving my friends

FAUX FUR AND PINK

Hope you guys had an amazing Easter!!! My family and I got together last night for dinner. We had such an amazing time bonding and regaling each other with stories. 

I wore the pink sheath dress on sweet pink and animal prints last fall so for today, I decided to give it another twist with the faux fur vest which added some texture then completed the look with the high-heeled sandals from Zara.

PINK OCTOBER

         If you could have asked the then ten year old Roshie if she could wear a dress over pink sweater, you would have probably been stared at……in utter distaste. Dresses??

I was more concerned with scaling up walls like spiderman and running around barefoot, dresses were reserved for Sunday school. I remember this particular sunday afternoon, visiting my grandmother’s and ruining my favorite Sunday dress by climbing up a guava tree. I had assumed a particular branch could hold my weight but what resulted was an affirmation to Newton's law of gravity. The dress was hideously ripped by a branch that even my mother’s perfect stitches would not have saved it!

Flash back to the present day and I am all about dresses and skirts. Pants are occasionally thrown here and there. Whatever happened to me?? LOL

I am wearing a chestnut brown dress over a pink sweater, and I know somewhere, mum is very proud. It’ s Breast Cancer awareness month, hence the pink sweater. I decided to layer it over the long-sleeved pleated dress then added a subtle hint of a print with the shoes. You can rock this look anywhere, just not up a tree!! :)

Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by. 

SEPTEMBER

Happy September folks, its amazing how time flies. Seems just like yesterday that I was eagerly anticipating summer but that’s the beauty of life- it goes on. I haven’t been able put up a couple of posts due to an issue with the pictures, but that’s all cleared.

            By now, you already know my love for all things vintage. I get a little flutter when I see a vintage store, am like a kid in a candy store. Oh the joy! With that said, check out a few stores around your area. They are clearing up for fall goodies, so beautiful vintage summer dresses might be on sale. Who doesn’t like a good sale?

           For today’s look I settled for a light, flowy, 80’s dress with little shoulder pads on the sleeves. I absolutely love this dress. Can’t wait to rock it with tights and a blazer in the fall. I completed the look with black, suede heels, and some accessories.

Thanks for stopping by.

VIBRANT

      Everytime I see this gorgeous red number in my closet, vibrant is the first thought that comes to mind. There's something about the color red, that makes one feel bold, vibrant, and vivacious. I might have felt all those feeling evoked in me today, thus the outfit. I paired the skirt with a cute little top I've had for quite sometime, and my two-toned sandals from zara. The idea of adding a belt came as an after thought, it's color and texture complimented the whole look.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your week.
