Weekend in Words and Pictures 8.25...


I spent the day with myself.
The older I get, the more I realize that rolling solo-dolo is not so bad.
I don't have a man.
Being in the company of genuine people fills that void.
And when you share your time with others, whoever they are, you learn to appreciate your time alone.

I was asked by a reader if I have ever knotted a Maxi dress.

Why yes I have.

I decided to demonstrate the brilliance in doing so by showcasing what I wore today.

But I found myself going in some stores.

Here are some things I tried on...

Even after Tax-Free weekend, I found some AMAZING deals.

I am already concocting how these looks can be worn now that its warmer, and winterized for the cooler months.

And now...

I'm watching "The Hunger Games."

I was ecstatic to see it had come out in the Red Box!
