GFS Series: Christ Chic

I was forced to get dressed  for church in exactly 20 minutes...or I was going to get LEFT!

So, I just kind of remixed some of the pieces from the last few posts to make an outfit.

Not loving any of these pics either:(

 I've been left before. When I was in high school, I went to the football playoff game for my school and I went with my dad. Well, when I got there...I wanted to walk around the Astrodome with my friends. That's what everybody did at the games, right?

(Vintage coat, Zara scarf/skirt, BEBE sweater (super,super old), Banana Republic fedora)

This was before cell phones....I think I may have had a pager/beeper at the time. So, my dad told me to meet him at the 50 yrd line seats at the end of the game...which I did, but that fool wasn't there! I am walking around the dome frantically thinking surely he wouldn't leave me. Oh, I forgot one thing...my dad WORKED at the school I attended. After about an hour of walking around...I got a ride from one of my friends who had to take me all the way home.

(I wasn't even going to post these pics bc they don't wow me but I wore it for the Lord so it has to be good enough  you guys. Amen.)

My dad was there. Sure was. Chilling. Watching Thundercats. Didn't say a word to me. I was so mad and embarrassed because the whole school heard about it. He told me he left early because they were losing and that if I had sat my "fast butt" down, I would've known that. What could I say? Nothing.

For that reason, I can get ready quick, fast and in a hurry!

(Sorry for the lack of posts, but it's been cold and I need another tripod. I will do better:)



When One Doesn't Make it To Church

This is what one looks like the night before they should've gone to church...but didn't:(

Met some old friends and new friends out for a late dinner. One thing I know now that I didn't know before but should have known...apparently it's not illegal to smoke in restaraunts. I didn't know that...and now my vintage coat smells like I've been turning tricks with truck drivers.

(My hair is in a super high bun)

But not just any truck driver...the truck driver who wins awards for smoking the most cigarettes in his rig. I gotta watch the news more or would've known that people still smoke in restaraunts.

Thus...my new year's resolution...WATCH MORE NEWS!

I would also like to share that I'm a genius (not really). These earrings I'm wearing got tarnished because I accidentally spilled Chic Fil A lemonade on them. I was driving and eating. The earrings were stopping me from enjoying my food so I pulled them off and placed them in the cupholder part of my console. Somehow, I wasted some lemonade on them and they tarnished. I went back to exchange the earrings but they were all gone. One would think that I would have just gotten a store credit. Nope. Not me. I went to Walmart and bought gold spray paint and voila...they were reborn.

Four Eyes

Didn't know I wore glasses, huh? Yep. I very rarely wear them because they are super ummm...they are a strong prescription. I'd like to thank genetics for that gift...not.  But it could be worse...you should see my big brother's lenses. HA!

Thrifted Tux Jacket

American Apparel turtleneck/dress and leggings

Nine West Booties

Marc Jacobs Glasses

I promise I will wear something other than black soon...it's just a phase:)

Oh yes, it decided to be cold this morning in Houston, so I finally got a chance to rock this coatdress/dresscoat. I love it the most! I was called a female BLADE at work today. That makes me want to wear it more...but next time, I'm gonna rock some thigh high boots and a big "GFS" on my chest to look the part!

If I Were Into Birthdays...

My birthday is in 10 days and if I were into birthday gifts, I would totally want these treasures:

1. An Apron like this one from Anthropologie $28 (I don't know why I want an apron,maybe because I have never had one...weird I know...but a pretty apron will simply make me want to cook more...right?)

2. These Migliorini Espresso riding boots that I saw at Marshall's last week. (I am always looking for riding boots. You can't really see the ruffled trim that make the boots fabulous)

3. Any of these coats/jackets from Anthropologie will make me PRAISE HIM!

4. Shoe Art...That's what I would call this shoe. I have been watching these for a while. These are by Jeffrey Campbell $119.95

5. I'm always in need of perfume

6. This cute little Tiffany's Apple Necklace ($185)...It's so cute and so appropriate since I am a teacher...duh7. The Birth of Cornelius by Corneille CD. I literally just heard a song by this artist while I was typing this post. I was listening to the Music Choice Channel when the song came on. I did a google search on him and wow...aside from the fact that I think he is kinda hot...HIS biography is riveting! He was a refugee from Rwanda and his parents were murdered while he was in the same room(think Hotel Rwanda). Anyway, I listened to a few of his songs and oh my goodness...he is awesome! He has several cd's in French as well.

But I am not that shallow as to think I deserve these things..........well maybe I am a little shallow. I'm a girl. And I am grateful to be alive. But I will take a peace of mind, unconditional love, eternal happiness and a slice of lemon cake any day. Well....I could wear these items while I have a peace of mind, unconditional and eternal happiness. It's a win, win situation:)

.....list not in a specific order.....
