{Outfit of the Day} Pink and Green Tunic

I’ve been spending the majority of my days in jeans and tank tops. Nothing glamorous to see here.

Yesterday I photographed a friend of mine that will be welcoming her first child in August. This was the first time I made it out of the house with a purpose this week so I stole the opportunity as a chance to put some clothes on..not in the literal sense of course.

I promise, there is nothing like a good tunic. Quick, easy and stylish.

This particular tunic has a story. I purchased it at an off season sale in 2009. When I got it home and hung it up, it dawned on me that it was pink and green and rekindled my desire to become an AKA.

I put it in my closet and let it hang there for 4 years. I never wore it. I used it as motivation, when I wanted to give up. Almost 5 years later, it sure feels good to put it on as an AKA.

I’ve been rocking and rolling with these white flower flip flops from Kohl’s. I probably wear them everyday!!

{Outfit of the Day} Farmer’s Market Fresh

Going into the weekend, the refrigerator and cabinets were bare. There were pickings but they were slim and required some imagination to concoct a meal.

Saturday I got busy and by Sunday we were practically eating air so I had to make a trek to the Farmer’s Market.

I threw on what I felt comfortable in. I am slowly realizing in my old age that I really like classic styles and looks. I get the trends but unless they are marked down I probably won’t buy them. Give me an oxford and some shorts and I’m good.

{Outfit of the Day} Go Big or Go Home

I love an oversized flowy top. My obsession has me with a few XL and XXL tops in my closet.

I slipped and fell into this obsession when I went to look for a shirt that wasn’t in my size but there was an XXL available. I said to self, ” Mimi you can belt this and be okay.”

Sometimes the shirt falls a little longer than my shorts but I’m sure people know I have pants on. I hope so.

If you are going to wear an over-sized shirt, I suggest either belting in the waist or adding a longer length necklace.

Are you a fan of flowy tops and dresses? What are your go to pieces for the Summer?

Mary Mac’s Tea Room + {OOTD}

I have sufficiently informed y’all that I intend to spend the remainder of this year chilling with the homies every chance I get. I’ve had enough of “making” myself too busy to spend time with the people I love. I am at my best laughing , eating and having a cocktail or three with the people who know, get and support me. I’m telling you it’s good for the soul and I implore you to make a few adjustments in your life to make room for these special moments. Life is short.

I digress.

Tuesday morning one of my best friends called and asked if I wanted to grab something to eat. Two short hours later we were sitting at Mary Mac’s Tea Room, a renowned restaurant here in Atlanta. While I’m not a true born ATLien I’ve been here long enough to be quite shamed that I had never been to this iconic restaurant. I found the food to be delicious. You know it can be hit or miss with southern/soul food. Mary Mac’s Tea Room was a hit indeed.

Since we only had a short time we quickly put our orders in, not an easy task. I settled on the highly recommended fried chicken and added sweet potato souffle and macaroni as my sides.

So. D&*n. Good.

I’m not a big eater but if it’s good and in front of me…come on now.

I wore:
