How to: Dressing for a Christian Concert

Concerts are always something to look forward to. It's a great excuse to play dress up. Finding the right outfit can be a difficult task, especially when seeking the correct outfit for a Christian concert. You don't want to come across as sleazy and you definitely do not want to be overdressed. As the saying goes, “There is a time and place for everything.” So let me guide you in the pursuit of finding the right attire for a Christian concert. 

JUMPSUITS
I adore jumpsuits! While they are extremely comfortable, if styled properly they can be very chic.

Above are three jumpsuits, I would wear! For jumpsuit no.2 a camisole could be worn under to hide any cleavage. Also, dress it up with a nice blazer and “killer” shoes!

MIDI LENGTH DRESSES
An issue in attending a Christian concert is not looking too suggestive. Wearing a midi length dress is a solution to this problem. A  midi length dress allows you to look “hot” without looking inappropriate.

A great way to "glam" up your dress is by wearing a cute clutch!

PRINTS
If you are not afraid to step out of the box in your style , rocking a floral print should be no problem. A floral trouser or skirt can be worn with a matching top or a solid top. Pair it with transparent heels or clutch and you are ready to go!

LEATHER
Wearing a leather skirt, leather pants or a leather dress is a great way to look edgy but still very sophisticated.

OOTD: Tuesday Black Affair



I've decided to play dress up yesterday. I enjoyed a lovely weekend with my girlfriends. It was nice to relax before embarking on the notorious week ahead of me. Is it Friday yet? Smile 
Well, to get these shots was hard work. I’m no photographer! I couldn’t find my tripod so I had to use my piano and angle the camera right, put the timer on and then run into position for the picture. I laughed at myself at times, but it was all fun!
Well, check out my OOTD below!

Solange Live in Toronto

tumblr_mpy42kF3bq1qapzm0o1_500Going to school in Huntsville can have its perks, but it definitely has its downfalls. I’m always missing my favorite singers when they come into town! Every time a favorite singer of mine visits Toronto, I’m in Huntsville at school. One of the things on my to do list for this summer was to make up for lost time. So, when I heard Solange was coming to Toronto, I had to purchase a ticket to her concert, right then and there.I have been a true fan of Solange since 2003 and never turned back. Not only is she my birthday buddy, since our birthdays are three days apart, but I genuinely love her music, the way she embodies life and of course her eccentric style.
tumblr_mpzkdkOLl41rzrnyqo1_500 I truly had a blast on Saturday night. Solange entered on stage looking dope with her long braids and a tribal print suit.To start kthe  concert off, she did a rendition of “His Eye Is On The Sparrow,” dedicated to Trayvon Martin and the verdict of “not guilty” that surfaced tumblr_mpzkdkOLl41rzrnyqo2_250tumblr_mpzkdkOLl41rzrnyqo3_250around that time. Then, she went on to one of my faves, “T.O.N.Y.“ She sang three of my faves in between such as: ‘”Losing You,” “Lovers In A Parking Lot,” and “Sandcastle Disco.” At the end, she ‘punked’ me because she said, “goodnight” but clearly forgot to sing my absolute fave, “I Decided.” She then came back on stage and ended the concert right! Saturday night will be a night to remember. I’m super stocked that I finally got to see Solange live in concert!
