To enroll, or not to enroll?

So if you're anything like me ,or the millions of other college students, the issue of whether or not to continue your education after undergraduate has come into play. Ever since I began my undergraduate education in 2009 I was sure that I would go straight into graduate school, but I started to have many questions. I definitely would want to diversify my learning experience, so I wouldn't attend the same university where I am currently earning my undergraduate degree. But then reality, NOT negativity, set in. I started to wonder, how would I pay for this? What would be the best thing to pursue my degree in?

 When making this decision several factors should be considered. Although I am not done with my research in regards to this topic, this article really helped me, and I hope it will do the same for you.

STYLE NOTE: A red lip is very chic and classic...when done the right way. The first thing to consider is your makeup overall. You shouldn't put a bold red lip with bright purple eyes. Instead of looking glammed up, you'll look clowned out! Which is what we want to avoid.

The second thing to consider when rocking a red lip is your outfit. This lip color looks better with blacks, whites,or neutral tones to add a pop of color to an outfit. It also looks amazing with certain prints(as I have worn it).

Happy Mother's Day!

For Mother's Day I went to eat dinner at my aunt's house. The weather was nice outside and since we were in and out of the house I thought this dress was an appropriate choice.

STYLE NOTE: If you are wearing a halter style dress or top leave the necklace at home, otherwise the necklace will compete with the top. Instead opt for earrings, bracelets, or in my case a hat!

Unfortunately I forgot to photo the full outfit as I normally do, but that won't stop me from doing the price break down(-:

Dress-$17(Polish Boutique, Mobile, AL)
Sandals-$6(Old Navy)
Hat-$15(Target)
Bracelet-$15(AFTER DISCOUNT, Banana Republic)

Style Spotlight!


On this style spotlight I featured one of my good friends Jasmine. She was getting ready for a night out and I loved how she paired her outfit together. She said she wanted to show off her legs and chose these black shorts. She was able to show her arms without baring to much by wearing a half-shoulder top and she kept the accessories to a minimum. You go girl!
