School Girl Chic

Ralph Lauren Blazer via Marshall's (Kinda in love with it)

Limited Khakis (hand me down from my homie Taneca!)

Shirt from Target (I think it's really a "beach cover up" but I love the length and how thin it is)

Scarf/Marc Fisher Shoes via Marshall's

Hat from Urban Outfitters...I think...it's so old

The outfit looks much better in person...the details on the back of the jacket make me want to stroke it while singing Killing Me Softly in Spanish to it.

I very much felt like a cross between a school girl/school boy in this outfit...but I liked it:)

(These are actually wide legged Khaki's but "old school" rolled them up like I did in middle school! I'm not a fan of light colored pants but I so didn't care today)

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I've been busy losing weight...and by losing weight, I mean puking my guts out from a stomach virus or a touch of food poisoning...not good! This was my first attempt all week to get dressed in a decent way. Slowly getting my energy back so today, just pictures...no witty stories:)

.....Oh wait...I was reading this great article (when I wasn't in an Imodium AD induced coma) on bloggers in the current issue of Vogue and it mentioned the "target" audience for most successful bloggers. So here is what I assume all of my readers/lurkers/followers have in common...

1. They YOU eat real food.

2. You have to check your bank account atleast once a month. Let me explain this one. I gage how wealthy people are by if I think they check their bank accounts to see where every penny goes. For example...Oprah doesn't HAVE to check her account. The rapper Coolio (yes, exactly)...checks his account on his Cricket phone! LOL

3. You agree that my afro puff, thick hips, witty banter and worship of heels and pencil skirts make me a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize for Financially Challenged, Big Dreaming Bloggers!

4. You too think about how much weight you might lose when you are sick from stomach viruses/food poisoning.

5. You giggle atleast once while reading a post of mine or atleast nod your head and said..."That girl is working it".

I digress. This was supposed to be just pictures:)

Those Evil Spammers!

Banana Republic Jacket (I've had this for ages)

Arden B.- Shirt (this is super old because I haven't shopped there in about 5 years!)

Jeggings from Macy's

Marc Fisher Lace up Shoes via Marshall's

LV Speedy 35

Scarf: Target

Hat: I might have jacked this from a certain somebody. Looks better on me!

This is not clothes related but I must let it out. Let me rant first, then you can go on blog surfing. I get no less than  5-10 random spam emails from people out of the country who are always on a sick bed or need to transfer money into my account. It's so annoying! Always from people I don't know! From places I can't even pronounce.

Most times I just hit delete but even that little energy could have been spent doing other things...like pushing another Double Stuffed Golden Oreo cookie in my mouth or something. A few times I hit reply and tell the person that I am forwarding their spam requests to the FBI. Of course, that just means I get more. So I thought I would copy and paste an actual email request that I get daily and then reply once and forever!

Maybe they are surfing my blog and recognize their poorly written email...they will first be embarrassed for all the incorrectly spelled words and then tell their friends on sick beds or the ones waiting at Western Union for my information to take me off the EMAIL LIST!! UGH!!

Dear Patner,

I am Mr.Solomon, Staff of Banque De L'Habitat Au (BHBF) in Burkina faso. I would like you to indicate your interest to receive the transfer of US$12.5 Million Dollars. I will like you to stand as the next of kin to my late client whose account is presently dormant for claims. Please once you are interested kindly send me the following details information below...

Signed,
Idiot Spammer

Here is my response....

Dear Partner Loser ,

If I was silly enough to accept that transfer from you, rest assured that you will never receive it! I will fall off the face of the earth only to resurface if Sade' came to town as the opening act for a Kanye West concert..which probably means never.

Signed,

Annoyed Reiko 

Ok...I feel better. Go on, get out of here. Go blog surf!
