Have you ever just had a moment of absolute clarity? It’s like the a-ha moment but on 100. That was me a few weeks ago and since then I’ve been viewing my life a bit differently. I’ve always had the “I don’t care” attitude regarding how people view me and the choices I make. I never understood the concept of projecting your insecurities on other people because you were afraid to live. I say this with a hit of sarcasm and a pinch of shade…. Even after being told I should care for a multitude of reasons I simply just can’t. I understand that it’s important to give a great first impression and establish positive relationships. However, I cannot and will not live according to someone else’s preconceived notions and standards. I’m just not that girl. I don’t move that way. Within this continuous cycle of progression and operating in faith I learn a lot about what inspires me. What makes me, ME. I realized that although I was doing the things that make me happy, I was operating in a state of obscurity. This was my way of not letting my “light” become too bright. People love to say “humble yourself” when we should be encouraging each other to live our best lives. This made my life come in full circle. As of today, I plan on doing just that. I will not down play my successes. I will celebrate the small victories. I’m choosing to life THEE BEST life possible, with no regrets.

It has taken me a few weeks to get back into the swing of posting more fashion here on the blog. As much as I love it, the task can sometimes be daunting for me. I am not your ordinary blogger. Being a mother of two with the work and school load that I carry can be difficult at times but this summer I am finally getting a handle on prioritizing my schedule for my blog and me time. I recently have come across a handy little device that has made fashion post so much more convenient for me, ugh. It’s so dope yall, I can’t wait to share it with you. Of course, I need to take pictures of it for the blog lol. Lately I have been really interested in exploring my city to find hidden gems I didn’t know about. Since I’m from the inner city I was raised to mind your business and keep it moving. Unfortunately, this philosophy has carried me into my adulthood and I usually don’t notice or care to seek out things that aren’t necessarily on my radar. Again, this summer I plan on changing that.

One of my goals is to find a new restaurant, park, museums especially, or local historical attractions in my area and visit them. That’s exactly what I did in today’s post. I went to my neighboring town and explored the down town area. I just so happened to be wearing a dress, high heeled schools and carrying my camera (insert my smirking face). I’ll forever sing lady in red. This dress fits like a glove and is quite breathable. The tie up string detail on the sides adds just enough flare. Red has always made me feel a tab it more flirty and sassy. I just walk different when I wear it. As I write this, I can imagine my mother in law shaking her head. She does’t care for the color per say but I happen to love it. Nevertheless, I’m planning on taking a step back to smell the flowers and watch them bloom this summer. Life for me moves so fast and I really want to take the time to live in each and every moment.

The news I’m about to share with you is so exciting I can’t even contain myself at this moment. For the past few months I have been working on a secret project that I promised you all I would share with you very soon. Well today is that day and I am happy to announce the opening of my brand-new business ClosetSheIn clothing boutique. As you all know I have a love for fashion that has blossomed into a passion. I want to share my passion with the world and offer top of the line apparel that everyone can wear and feel confident and chic.

This has been a dream of mine for many years and I have finally stepped out on faith and decided now is the time to pursue all of my dreams. One thing about being an entrepreneur is you are often times filled with self-doubt. You often wonder if now is the right time or if you’re making the right decisions. I am no different than any other entrepreneur in that, I also too struggle with these in decisive moments. Wondering if now is the right time, wondering how people will view my pursuits, or if I’m even capable of bringing my dreams to reality. This process has been taxing mentally and physically and has pushed me to my limits. I often times wanted to give up and just focus on something else, but I knew that I would not be as happy as I am today to share this news with you all. ClosetSheIn is here and I could not be anymore excited as I am today! If you all know me you know I’m currently twerking at the moment! All of the hard work has finally paid off.

 

My vision for ClosetSheIn is to be able to bring quality apparel to every fashionista at a great price point. I truly believe that great fashion does not have to break the bank. Every woman should feel confident in the clothes that she wears and be able to look inside her closet and have options. ClosetSheIn is not just another clothing boutique, is an experience. Everyone should be able to have staple pieces in their wardrobe that can be used to change up your look from day tonight. My team and I have curated some custom pieces that are fashion forward and trendy for each upcoming season.

I would like to invite you to visit my new website ClosetSheIn.com and check out all of the apparel we currently have available. We will be adding new items each week and I invite you to sign up for the VIP mailing list to get exclusive deals and savings. I want to thank you all for supporting me throughout the years and would like to extend an exclusive promo code for my reader to use on your first order. Use discount code VIPBABE at checkout for additional saving.  I am so happy to be able to share this journey with you all and I hope that you enjoy the ride just as much as I will. Happy shopping, XO
