Freestyle Friday & Giveaway Winners!!!!

Yay!!! It's Friday and it's a 3-day weekend...what are you guys doing this weekend? Let me know below. Well first things first...FREESTYLE FRIDAY!!!!
Anyone that knows me, knows I love my skirts and maxis...I even adore my wide legged palazzo pants. However I almost never ever wear jeans! Even on the occasional "dress down" day at work I don't do it. That's mostly in part to my shapely figure and I find it very hard to find jeans that fit me (insert sad face) UNTIL NOW THAT IS!!! The struggle is indeed real...I recently went back to Weight Watchers because I am trying to be the best me I can be. Now you might be saying, "She's fine!" "What does she have to lose?" It's not about the number on the scale its about what happens "Beyond The Scale" like taking care of the other parts of me physically, mentally, spiritually, etc. So occasionally I will throw in a FREESTYLE FRIDAY to let my hair down a little bit sew to speak...I'm really trying to broaden my fashion horizons, will you take the ride with me? I hope so!

See look just like the other LL said I'm an "Around The Way Girl"
I want a girl with extensions in her hair









Bamboo earrings at least 2 pair
A Fendi Bag and a Bad Attitude 
She can walk with a switch and talk with street slang


Standing at the bus  stop
Sucking on a lollipop




She's sweet as brown sugar with the candied yams 

Honey coated complexion using Camay
Let's hear it for the girl she;s from around the way



Now as an option for a second look I used Simplicity 1014 modified by making the sides longer and Mimi G cocoon sweater with finger openings...I used a winter white double knit/quilted ponte and I totally adore this look!!!




















NOW TO THE GIVEAWAY WINNERS!! I appreciate the feedback I received for the leather dress and even more for the feedback on the contest for one of my personal Mimi G patterns. Because I sew want everyone to get bitten by the Mimi G bug... 4 of the ladies will be receiving a pattern... So Barbara, Alejandra, Quianna, and Tieraney congratulations...can't wait to see what becomes of these looks!!!




So until next time 
Have an amazing weekend and 
Keep it Sassy, Classy, Sexy, Period.

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 "

Leather & Pearls/Giveaway!!!!

This is a story about Control My Control Control of what I say Control of what I do And this time, I'm gonna do things my way I hope you enjoy this as much as I do Are we ready? I AM Cause it's all about Control and I've got Lots of it! -Janet Jackson A lot easier than said sometimes, when we allow things from our past to control our present and potentially our future you can spiral out of control. So in my case I sew to stay in control and nothing says in control like some leather honey!!! In this dress I felt all the things my blog stands for: Sassy Classy, Sexy, Period. I've had this pattern McCalls 7047 in my stash for quite some time, However when Mimi G did a tutorial for it, of course I had to have my own. I had tons of faux leather in my stash and couldn't wait to tackle it! I opted for no sleeves or peplum (peplums make your bottom look bigger and I don't need any help in that area...LOL) I also loved the train instead of the straight bottom.

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
