The Day After Christmas










Happy Monday everyone! I know, I know. You all were probably thinking I went to the "upper room" or got kidnapped or something, but none of that's true. I'm back! I just needed an extended break from social media and prolonged writing since finishing up my semester of graduates school. I actually ended up finishing this semester with all A's. In the past, I've always done my best in school when I'm extra busy. When I have extra time on my hands, I tend to lose my motivation to do my best in my studies. 

I hope you all are having a joyful time with your loved ones. I've been busy visiting family and friends since being on vacation from work/ school. I did some shopping, but nothing major. I window shopped for myself more than anything. I was able to pick up some great Christmas gifts for my family (post coming soon). 

But now to the main reason you clicked on this post! This is actually the outfit I wore on Christmas day. On Christmas morning, we fixed breakfast, opened presents, and then went to church. After church, we all gathered at my grandparents home to have our annual Christmas dinner. There was so much food: Macaroni and cheese, roast beef smothered in beer, collard greens, yams, hams, and just about every sweet you can think of!:) My favorite thing about Christmas is being around all my loved ones while thinking about how marvelous God is to bring His only son to seek and save lost souls.

About this outfit!;) I actually purchased it all from online stores. The black bodysuit was purchased from ASOS and it's by Boohoo. I ordered the size 2 (or small). My skirt is Goodnight Macaroon, and I'm wearing a small. My dark taupe boots are no other than my Joie Jemina over the knee boots. I think they are 60% off now. They go with just about every outfit. My purse is Kate Spade Cedar Street Cali in the color black., which I got on sale.

I hope everyone has a great rest of their week, and continue to rejoice in the fact that because He lives you (we) can face tomorrow! Hebrews 7:24:)

  2. L boasts Academy Award winner Natalie Portman's motion picture debut. She was 11-years-old when she was cast from a group of more than 2000 girls Marlboro Lights. Portman was originally turned down by casting director Todd Thaler because she was so young, but she was called back when the search expanded. She performed the scene where Mathilda laments the loss of her brother. Besson was so impressed (Mathilda breaks down during the scene), he gave her the role.
