Living life in the moment has caused me to seize opportunities to expound upon pieces in my wardrobe that I don’t get to wear much.
That means stepping out of my comfort zone & saying
“Yes” to occasions I would normally turn down.
I be in Tamieland on the weekends.
That entails doing things that I enjoy and having some me
time.
But someone who I have grown to admire and respect dearly
graduated with her doctorate degree today.
So I took her celebration as an opportunity to wear a
dress & shoes that have been sitting idly in my closet.
Had I not said "Yes," I would not have had this opportunity.
I’m good for buying things for different occasions for “just
in case.”
I styled this look in my head and really like how it came
out.
When my friend hugged me, she also complemented me on my outfit.
I must say, when you surround yourself by people who are a success, you too
will become successful…If that’s your mission of course.
I’m not going all the way to get a doctorate like she did,
but I am pushing myself far beyond what I ever dreamed possible in my Master’s
Program.
I am grateful for people like her who I can share things
with and have traveled my journey ahead of me.
She always tells me, “I’ve been there and overcame that
circumstance….and so will you.”
For that, I am also grateful.

Love this look, looks really good on you. I am sure you had people stopping and staring all day long (in a good way). Wonder why you've never worn this before. It is absolutely gorgeous. Werk!!!

Thanks Jen! I never had a reason. But maybe I'll make one up from time to time :).
ReplyDeleteLooking great per usual Tammie!! That dress is super cute! I saw those wedges in Target, but since I didn't have time to try them on, I didn't get them. Seeing them on you makes me second guess leaving them there! :(
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your friend! I love celebrating the success of friends and family (and looking good while doing it, ha)
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI love it all!!!!! I still need to find the perfect skater dress!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been devoted to fit and flare for a long time as my bottom half is bigger. I know you shop ASOS and there are a ton of great options on there...F21 has some and Old Navy has fit and flare with a more modest hemline if you have big hips...My booty was hijacking the length in the back of this dress...that's the only thing...I don't have that issue in my Old Navy & F21 dresses...
