Simple, not so LBD (Little Black Dress)

Hey peeps! So, I find that I enjoy wearing dresses in the summer...a lot. But who doesn't? They're essentially complete outfits with the option to accessorize, soooo convenient lol. With that being said, I found this dress while thrifting and it didn't feel right leaving it in the store. I so fell in love it's perfect fit and little train at the back. I love that it's an sightly edgier take on the classic Little Black Dress (LBD). 

Oh also, when bored...in the house...all summer, why not make something! Been dying to try my hand at making a DIY Flower crown, so pictured is my first attempt. 

All white everything.

 Even though summer is coming to an end and school is right around the corner, I feel like i'm finally on summer break. I was given a few vacation days from work and decided to dedicate myself, as much as possible that is, to the blog. I'm so grateful for Rachael and Jode-Leigh for holding done the blog while I was ghost! :) 

   So I think my style is changing. If I've had to describe my style in one word, I guess it would've been 'loud'. Matching was a 'no no' for me, I thought the more color the better! But these days I get a headache when I see too many colors or patterns put together. I think because I spent my summer in an office, where I couldn't wear anything too loud, kinda helped/forced me to change things up a bit. I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I love matching! (my mom is very happy about this lol) I have no problem sticking to just one color for an entire outfit.

    Now don't get me wrong, even though I'm starting to shy away from anything too 'loud', I still enjoy seeing other people dress in a million colors with a million patterns! There are days when I want that extra pop of color or pattern, they just see fewer days than most now.

OOTD: Graduation Weekend!

I am officially an alumnus of Oakwood University. Yay! I've graduated! I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Pre-Law, a concentration in Political Science and a minor in Business Management.

I no longer will be living with my two Purple Lipstick besties, Rachael and Kalila. But, don't worry, Purple Lipstick will still be functioning! We ain't going nowhere! But, you will gain a deeper understanding of us individually as we embark on different paths. I will surely miss my girls and will see them from time to time. So, look out for collaborative posts of the Purple Lipstick gang when we reunite again!

Graduation went by so fast. It was one of the most important and greatest day of my life. Four years of toil and labor has finally ended. Well, although I wore a robe for the entire graduation weekend, I still "glammed" up underneath. After all, it is my graduation!

Alumni Weekend 2013: Purple Lipstick Edition

Last weekend our school Oakwood University put on their annual Alumni Weekend. It was great to see old friends from our previous years at Oakwood, and even better because this year we finally had a visitor! Our lovely friend Megan came down from Andrews University to spend the weekend with us and in the process she became an honorary member of Purple Lipstick lol

Banquet 2013: Purple Lipstick Edition

I don't really care much for the banquets at Oakwood, I just like to play dress up! lol. The theme for this year's banquet was Alice in Wonderland. I'm down for theme parties but being our last banquet we ditched the themed costumes and decided to wear all black. It's classy and timeless. We didn't want to look back 30 years from now and say "oh my goodness, what was I wearing?!" lol.

We had a good time overall! 

I'm gonna miss dressing up and taking a million pics with these girls:(
