Blue Marine Mullet

I’m sure we’ve all done the “let’s put a word into Google and see what comes up in auto recall”. While trying to think up a name for today’s post, I decided to put in these two words “Marine” and “Mullet” and the first link on the page was a YouTube video. Curiosity peaked my interest (curiosity also killed the cat) so I clicked on it....and 30 seconds later I closed it. I’m still picking my jaw up off the floor and trying ever so hard to get that image out of my head. To give you a gist of what I saw - it was a Marine (i.e. US Marine) who had a mullet and was dancing to Back that A$$ up…you guys know the song….

So while I had a really great story for today’s outfit, this one trumped anything I was going to say.

Can I Kick it?

As most of you know, I decided not to compete this summer. A part of me is ready to retire my bejewelled suit like Donloree, a fellow former competitor (she has an amazing blog Bikini or Bust). For the time being, (I’m using your phrase D) it’s a bust! That isn’t to say I won’t ever dawn the itsy bitsy bikini again, I’m just not ready to wreak havoc on my psyche, my health, my body or those close to me so soon. Last year, while I was prepping for my competitions, I went through many highs and lows, I had major tummy troubles, not to mention the post-competition blues. Though this time around has been different and I have been working with a great Team, a larger part of me just doesn’t want to compete.

I enjoyed the experience and I accomplished a personal goal and dream of getting on stage and competing. While I may not be dawning my figure suit anytime soon, Nini’s got a brand new pair of pumped up kicks just itching to be put on for my new challenge – getting ready for a 10 KM run. This challenge is by far more difficult for me as I hate running.  I mean truly hate the very idea of it. But, with one goal accomplished it’s time to set another. Hope you all will follow me for my new adventures and journey!

Asics - Love these shoes!

Who wouldn't love a yellow sole! (Google Images)

 Have you changed a goal recently?

Something Old Something New, Something Borrowed Something Blue

No I am not getting married, but honestly the title just worked itself out and it was hard to resist.

Something Old – my Roacawear Jean Jacket/Blazer. I kid you not but I have had this blazer since my high school days. If you were a girl like me in Tdot in the 90’s, going to school fairly close to downtown, it was imperative to have urban-chic clothes, listen to Jigga (Jay Z) and wear sneaker shoes with heels (wish I hadn’t got rid of those!)  It’s hard to believe that it’s made its way back into my closet after countless moves and closet purges. 

Something New – Recently I was approached by JACOB (A Canadian brand of clothing i heart!) who provided me with an offer I could not refuse…GO SHOPPING! This Beautiful dress is one of those items that I fell in love with. It honestly fits me in all the right places and I have been able to take this look from day to night(stay tuned for more posts!). The dress is currently available on sale here, as are so many other items at 40% off!

Something Borrowed – I have had these bracelets for a while now…it's really hard for me to give them back to the original owner...one day ; ) you can see them here, here, and here.

Something Blue – My sister recently took a trip to San Diego and brought back this Beautiful Seashell Necklace.
