Viva Las Vegas Vacation














                       
Top of the evening, Fashionista!!! Hopefully you all are having a great Sunday. This is the time of the year, where many people go on summer vacations. So, I thought that I would share some places that I have visited that would be great for a summer vacation. In March, I vacationed in Las Vegas and had a blast. So, these photos were taken on the Las Vegas strip at the M&M store, This is a great place to visit that is family oriented. The M&M has three floors of fun and plenty of goodies to sample. Pictured above is the huge M&M wall with every color and flavors of M&M. I felt like a kid in a candy store. Literally!!! So, on to the details of my outfit. I decided to wear a pair of distressed jeans which were about $10.00 from a local store and I paired this look with a long sleeve wrap which I tied in a knot to create a cropped look. Lastly, these shoes were purchased at Charlotte Russe, last year. My favorite item from this outfit was my choker which was purchased at factory connection for $5.99. Hopefully, this post will find you in great spirit, when you decide to plan your summer vacation. Comment below where are you vacationing this summer? #Mikstang Living

DIRTY DIANA




   
Top of the Evening all, this is going to be a quick post about my "Dirty Diana" inspired look. For all the youngsters, "Dirty Diana" is a hit song by the late and great Michael Jackson. My entire look for this outfit revolved around this wig,which I purchased last year from Dress Lily. I love this wig, it gives me that Chaka Khan/Donna Summer type of look. Now on to the details of this OOTD. To begin, I purchased this shirt last year for $5.00 originally $29.99. My jeans are from Celebrity Pink which can be purchased at all major retailers, they generally retail for 39.99 and up. My favorite part of this look was my new Jessica Simpson sandals, (Pink Multi Monrae) which can be purchased at DSW/ for 79.99. I caught them on sell for $49.99. https://www.dsw.com/en/us/product/jessica-simpson-monrae-sandal/380343. These shoes were extremely comfortable,stylish and I wore them all night. I hope you all enjoyed this post and as always trust the process.

P.S: If you were wondering what the print on my shirt says "Dress like you are going to meet your Ex Boyfriend"

THE TRIPLE C'S CHIC, CONFIDENT AND COOL!!!





 Top of the evening FASHIONISTA'S. Thank you all for all the love from my featuring video for this look. It was my first time doing a video as well as editing. I have so much more to learn. So on to the details of the outfit. While being a military service member, I travel a lot. But, no matter where I go, I always want to look trendy. So this outfit is for ladies like myself that is constantly on the go and who loves to look CHIC, CONFIDENT AND COOL.  To begin, this entire outfit is off the clearance rack, with the exception of the NIKE AIR MAX and Denim Jacket. I purchased these tights at Walmart off the clearance rack for $2.00. These tights are made by No Boundaries. What I loved about these tights are they were made of a thick spandex material and they were not see thru. As we know, many times when we purchase black tights/legging, your underwear will magically peek thru the material. I recommend that you wear a dark pair of underwear, with any black tights/leggings. On to the top, this top was purchased at JC PENNY off the clearance rack for $3.97, the original price was $24.00. I don't know about you, but I'm not paying that much for a tank that I will possibly workout in or casually wear to run errands. As far as accessories, my necklace was purchased last year at Versona, stud earrings and of course a Michael Kors watch. I also added a Denim jacket for a little bit of SPICE. These AIR MAX are featured in my " Check Your Self" post, which is featured on the blog., where you can find all the details. I hope you all enjoyed this look and share with me you TRIPLE C'S look. Comment below, what are your favorite clothes to rock CHIC,CONFIDENT and COOL look. As always, trust the process, talk with you in my next post.

As I have been traveling in this journey called life, it dawned on me that instead of checking others, sometimes we need to check ourselves. As we begin to grow in our journey,periodically we need to check ourselves. SO, here is what I am talking about. Many times we are awaiting someone's else approval of what direction that our life should be taking, instead of self evaluating for ourselves. Let;s be honest, there is someone out THERE, waiting for you to FAIL!!!! DO YOU HEAR ME!!! But I am here to tell you to don't fall for the hype. Continue to follow your dreams, remain humble and live unapologetically. Besides, we only have one life to live so why not enjoy and love what you are doing. So, here is the little details on my outfit. I wore this outfit in Las Vegas. My entire outfit was purchased at Hibbett Sports. But here is the kicker, this entire outfit was off the clearance rack. The NIKE shirt was originally $35.00 and I coped this steal for $21.97 and the NIKE pants were originally $55.00 and I scored these for $23.97. I also got my AIR MAX on sale for $49.99. So comment below and tell me what are some of your favorite sports wear brands. Talk to you in my next blog. MIKSTANG LIVING
