Climbing my way back/My Favorite 17 looks of 2017!

I can almost see it
That dream I'm dreaming
There's a voice inside my head saying,
You'll never reach it...

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels,
Lost with no direction
My faith was shaking,
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high...

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
There's always gonna be an uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose,
Aint about how fast I get there
Aint about what's waiting on the other side...
IT'S THE CLIMB!!!

It's been a looooooong time since I last blogged, I've had a whole lot going on. When I first started the blog, it was for the main purpose of showcasing my sewing, however I discovered there are other layers to me besides sewing. Sewing has become a very huge part of my life since started way back in 2013. If you're new to the blog check out my very first post HERE!!!

Since I've been away for awhile, I thought I would post my 17 favorite looks of 2017. This can serve as a reboot to me regularly blogging again. I can't wait to show you what I have in store for 2018. What I am the most excited about is the Ready To Wear Fast! Just to give you a snapshot what that means is that I am committing to not purchasing any Ready To Wear clothes, I will be sewing ALL of my clothing!! I am allowed to wear what I currently have but no new purchases on my part. The only exceptions are undergarments, shoes, handbags and jewelry.

While I have plenty in my closet as I already make most of my garments, this is a great way to get back into sewing more frequently so stay tuned!

So enjoy a look at some of my favorite looks from 2017...

AND A BONUS LOOK!!!

I felt like a million bucks in this outfit for date night and he loved it!!

I'm a Survivor!!!!!

I'm a survivor I'm not gon' give up I'm not gon' stop I'm gon' work harder I'm a survivor I'm gonna make it I will survive Keep on survivin'- Destiny's Child (Dress: Tickled Pink stretch denim and camo maxi dress) I am the epitome of "I don't look like what I've been through", Weighing in a 3 lbs 5 ounces and 3 months premature I was born a survivor. My hope for this blog is to be a beacon of light and hope for someone that doesn't think they can make it... YOU CAN!! I am far from where I want to be, but right where I need to be! I've been working really hard over the last few weeks to get this blog off the ground...and what better season than Fall, where the weather and fashion can change like the color of leaves... Photo cred: Mr. B I know you must be thinking "Why now? Why at this time?" Well, I will tell you why, there is a reason why I did indeed pick this particular time and "...

How Sewing helped me with Body Shame...

I'm not the average girl from the videos And I aint built like a supermodel But I learned to love myself unconditionally Because I am a queen...India Arie I wanted to do something a little different today and that’s start a dialog… It’s always amazing to me how the things that come out of people’s mouths require a preface…like *WARNING: WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SAY IS UTTER NONSENSE* Now it’s no secret that I’m a curvy woman…been like that my whole life…it’s in my family’s genes! What can I say? Thanks Grandma!! Now while I made a little joke…the things I’ve heard over the years and most recently have left me a little disheartened… “Girl, why are you working here? You should be a stripper/dancer” “With a body like that I would be in videos” “Now you know YOU need a blazer on with that dress!” “Looks like you are hiding a Smurf under that dress!” “You look like Barney today!” “Your outfit is too much today!” “You are too big for that!” ...

Open Letter to Mimi Goodwin & #MiMicItMonday

So on the beginning of my first week of blogging, I decided to pen an open letter to my mentor Mimi Goodwin... Dear Mimi, I had no idea that when I bought my sewing machine in 2011 what exactly I was gonna do with it, (that machine would go on to sit in the box for almost 2 years). In early July 2013, I discovered your blog on a friend's Facebook page, little did I know that this one click would change my life forever! I was headed toward a transition that I didn't see coming, my wedding engagement was coming to an end and it devastated me and I felt lost. I knew I needed something to take my mind off of the pain I was feeling. I was headed in a downward spiral and no one knew it but me, and you Mimi Goodwin saved me from myself. So after I tried and SUCCESSFULLY completed 3 of your tutorials on the first try, I knew I had found my therapy. You were and still are always so kind, answering inbox questions without hesitation, offering help whenever I asked. You will never...
