What I Wore: Dress Up with the Kimono
9:30 AMIt has become a puzzle for me to not only find stuff in my clothes to wear, but also how to make them unique and totally me. I wore this Kimono to my trip to Greece, and there I paired it with shorts and a tank.
This time around, I decided to dress it up with my lace dress, and mint color accessory to give it a pop of color as well as to soften this vibrant kimono a bit. I was torn on what type of shoes to wear with this outfit, and since I was going for the boho look, I opt for these booties vs. my typical heels. This is my weekend look. Hope everyone had a great weekend...XoXo.
I always start of thinking I'm going to take some serious photos, meaning non-smiling (or semi smiling) ones, but my personality just can't help it. I guess it is the goof ball in me (remember I used to be a tom boy growing up). So after this set, I decided to give up on taking serious (modal like photos), and just keep doing me =).

Honey I like your pics just the way they are, so please don't do anything *serious* I love how they show your life attitude, full of happiness and glowing love. Loving the outfit, everything is perfect! Kreyola thx for the link but I haven't done anything at all, I haven't changed any settings nothing, they were just gone from one second to the other. Weird things is, in some post my signature is still visible while at the other not, it's spooky, lol, how can almost all pic's vanish into thin air, from the same album, while on the other-hand some are still visible at some post? The album still exist, it's not deleted nor whatsoever. It's just that instead of the pics that missing pic sign is visible, I have to delete every single image and insert the original photo again. It takes ages but it's the only thing I can do. OK wasn't meant to write a book, lol.

Thanks Lenya for the compliment and the encouragements :).
DeleteI can't believe you can't restore your pictures??? That is a big time bummer that you have to go and re-upload and re link those pictures. I'm really hoping that you can find a solution that doesn't involve you going to each post and restoring those photos. Good luck Lenya!
Exactly, you show life in your pictures! i wish i could pose like you, so natural!
DeleteNice look girl, love how you restyled the kimono. The pop of colour really compliments this dress.

ReplyDeleteWe are who we are and just have to be ourselves! Nothing wrong with your mug n grille anyhow! :) Matter of fact as the quote suggests your smiles probably helps to brighten and make peeps day a Better one! You have picked me up more than once ... but then again that is subjective! Kidding :) tee hee
Looking Beautiful and it shows! Like how you muted the light dress with your accessories! Again Happy 5th Blog Anniversary! Sheila when I read through all the different posts it's hard to imagine the amount of time, planning, preparation, research, editing and effort you have given us! But can't miss your Humongous Beautiful, Good, Sweet and Kind Heart it Shines Throughout every post! Job Well Done! :) Yeah I'm lying ... but dang Sis it sounded good ;)
Thanks Sis! We Appreciate you! God Bless! Have a Stupendous Day! =D
Thanks Cheri for seeing how much effort it took for me to blog. I'm still grateful for this blog though because it had pushed and challenges me with my writing skills, as well as makeup and fashion sense. My enjoyment has really improved myself, and I hope it has also helped many others in their journeys of self-discovery.
DeleteThanks as always for the lovely and inviting comments and compliments :)
Stay safe and have a great day.
Xoxo Sheila
Awww It's not necessary to thank me! You are welcome! But then again you're my Sis and got to have your back! o_O LOL
DeleteHey I only wish more guys would open their eyes/mind to see, respect and give us a compliment when we work hard, do it right and not just for when look nice! ;) But that's okay too a compliment is always pleasant! ;) #teamwinners
Not only guys, but girls should give each other compliment as well. A quote that I used to hold close to my heart was by Marilyn Monroe.

I tell my little girl she is pretty all the time, because that quote did hit so close to home when I found it. Thanks dear for being my number one cheerleader ^_^.
Amen Sis Amen!

DeleteI love that you do you in your photos! I always think it's so much more real and personal when bloggers model themselves being just themselves...goofy, silly, smiling, etc, rather than the rigid model look. You look amazing, as per usual! I love the kimono!
