Hello Y’all, It’s Me Candace…

Man. It’s been an incredibly long time since I’ve been on here writing. Quite frankly, I was feeling ashamed at my unintentional absence. Days turned into a week…weeks turned into a month…months turned into over a year. Smh. Yes, I’m actually shaking my head. I’ve been uninspired almost the entire time I’ve been absent. Life really just has been a lot to tackle over the past couple of years. I could go on with specifics, but I’m sort of a private person and out of respect for my family I won’t indulge.

Otherwise, I’m truly excited to be back! I’m not sure if I’ve ever shared my name but by now you’ve probably figured out that it’s Candace. I just wanted to reintroduce myself but in a private, personable way. Look, plenty of influencers take breaks and I’m no different. I never thought I would NEED a break from blogging because I loved it so much but this time off has taught me a ton! As a matter of fact, that’s the reason I wanted to start off by telling you guys my name. I intend to exude parts of my personality more in this style blogging thing-a-ma-jig. Y’all ready? Set? Let’s go! Let’s see what I come up with! To be continued…

Classic Closet Reruns

As creatures of progression, we always have some kind of goals to accomplish or work towards. I currently have a new set of goals that I’ve set and as a part of accomplishing those goals I have to cut down my spending tremendously. I have almost no credit card debt but I’ve spent money this past year on my wardrobe and I think it’s enough for now. I’m focusing on saving more and spending less. Don’t get me wrong I saved and most things in my closet I had for years but I’ve been shopping! So I’ll be shopping my closet for the next few months. Get ready for closet reruns. 

The outfit (except for my shirt, it was two for ten dollars) I’m currently wearing is pretty much all from my closet and has been worn at least once for you all to see. Well, all of the pieces I’m wearing haven’t been worn together but that’s the beauty of a closet shake up! 

So really quickly, I paired my striped skirt from Asos with an obvious and popular coordinate color of red. I added a thrifted denim Levi’s button up around the waist for a bit of a casual look. The skirt accentuates my curves (almost too much lol). The scoop neck top I’m wearing is so basic but gives an illusion of an elongated neck and adds some feminine appeal by showing décolletage and not cleavage. I didn’t wear neck jewelry because I wanted my décolletage area to grab the attention without any adornment. The busyness of the bottom half of my look is balanced by the “cleanliness” of my top half of my look! I feel even better about my outfit because it was right from my closet! How do you “shop” your closet? What are some of your fave pieces currently in your closet?
