Just Me and My Peplum


There's nothing particularly special about this outfit... a simple black/grey speckled sheath dress with a cute little peplum, accessorized with a ribbon belt, black wool bolero, black tights and black pumps. Simplistic, modest and classic. But what I liked about these photos was the authenticity and candidacy of the pictures, the story behind the "shoot," the memories that were jogged when I saw the pictures, and the moment stole.  I took a walk on my lunch break with my favorite coworker/friend, Sadarie, and she shot me in different poses (with an iPhone no less) while we were just chatting, laughing and acting silly... just for a moment before we got back to being grown ups. It was a good time. Beautiful weather, hearty laughs. After we were done and I looked at these pictures, I instantly saw my mother when she was younger and I was just a kid.  I reflected on different memories in my childhood.  Just for a moment.  I smiled. Then I went back to work.  

So this post is not about fashion, but just about good times and good memories created and jogged with just a camera phone. On my lunch break, stealing a moment, with a friend.  That easy.  That simple. Not complicated. Not materialistic (except for that peplum though...how cute?? LOL).

    1. LOL. Thanks. If I would just get into the gym more regularly and lay off the Chipotle it could be more sicker (in my Biggie and Jay-z voice)! LOL. :-)

    1. Hey Honeey! Isn't it a great little number? Easy to put on but you'd never know b/c as soon as you get it on its automatic sex and power! LOL. And I lucked up on it by accident. I walked through Macy's to get into the mall looking for something else and ran into this pretty little thang! It was on sale and discounted to death too. I think I paid about $30 for it. I did swap out the belt it came with for the ribbon. :-)
