Happy Independence Day America! 

So I put this number together to enjoy the long 4th of July weekend. 
I paired a light denim chambray shirt with a pair of white jean shorts, and threw a red blazer on top. 

Red, White and Blue Madam! 
At your service! 

I love that this look is casual, but still tends to give a look of sophistication and class. As though a simple blazer and statement chain (when paired properly) can speak volumes as to your type of person. 


Enjoy the weekend lovelies <3333

Unfortunately, since I've been swamped with work and studies -- today's post is a quick one. 

There are days where you seek the casual comfort of pants. Working in Information Technology has shown me that although pants are preferable for walking around all day and providing the ultimate comfort -- this does not mean you have to give up your sense of style or self, simply for comfort. 

I paired my simple Gap Skinnie Minnie's with a casual boyfriend blazer (complete with red polka flair) and my simple black pumps. My blouse with its pattern added an overall look that enabled me to be comfortable, but still me. Still making a statement. 

The overall look is a professional one, but with  a casual "boyfriend" feel that allows me the level of comfort my job demands. 

My plum hair was designed by the professional hair colorists at Vogue Beauty Salon.

Taco Rico

Wearing:

Blazer, Dress, & Tights: The Limited | Statement Chain: Bauble Bar | Pumps: Steve Madden | Watch: Michael Kors | Ring Stack: Henri Bendel 

Lunch served at Taco Rico in the heart of Doral. Chicken Enchiladas {yum} with refried beans and Mexican rice. Soft Taco on the side. Served with Chips & Salsa.

I've gotten into the habit of working on personal endeavors during the hours of my lunch. 

{There is no rest for the determined}

Currently, I work as a Technical Writer in one of America's up and coming Health Insurance Agencies. From Monday thru Friday I am a corporate drone and I perform my duties according to the laws and ordinances placed upon the health care system in the States. On Tuesdays and Thursdays I spend my nights in school & this semester? 

{Linguistics and Modern British Poetry}

I am currently 6 credits shy of achieving my Bachelors in English Literature. And after spending the last 8 years wandering through life wondering where I would end up, and what course my life would take...

I have discovered the beauty of IT. 
{Information Technology} 

And the beauty of my position within this department? All I have to do is write and create documents all day. My own personal niche within Corporate America. It's as though after all these years, my questions have been answered. My position allows me the liberty of being able to enjoy my work, and pursue personal endeavors at the same time. 

It wasn't just my career or educational degree I was wondering about though. I wanted to know where my personal life would take me as well. What kind of woman would I turn out to be, and how would this influence those closest to me? 

I've learned that this choice is up to me. 

I can choose to be the woman I've always wanted to be, all I had to do was take a blind leap of faith and let it happen. My familial support system has helped me to conquer many of the demons of my past -- and this time around I had the added support of my best friend, as my boyfriend. 

He supports me and encourages me like not other & he honestly believes I am capable of conquering the world and the world's beyond. 

I heard once, that you become like the 5 people you spend the most time with. If I acquire the qualities of patience, unconditional love, and perseverance of my boyfriend, sisters, and mother -- then it's true that I could quite possibly do anything I so choose.
