Oh Come on Girl...

As I evolve more and more into my Grown Woman status( somethings we put away after we turn 25, IMO), I'm learning that there are just somethings that are necessary on this journey. Every woman needs a small make-up bag, liquid eyeliner, a black dress and a pair of nice Air Max sneakers(IMO)... Shoes and clothes to match go hand in hand without saying!! LOL


When I 1st moved to Ga, my excuse was, "Oh, nobody knows me here", so it wasn't imperative for me to dress up everyday. I had lost an substantial amount of weight but yet, I just enjoyed being comfortable. It didn't helped that I joined a church that didn't require for us to dress to the nines(BUT trust, we definitely have some fashion DIVAS in the place) and I worked a job where we wore uniform( I'd never done that in my life). For the 1st time in my life, I owned a huge master bedroom with a walk in closet. And the closet was full. Shoes organized according to designer and color but YET I chose to wear flipflops and flats. Crazy one would say, especially if there were over 60 pairs of shoes at the time (now pushing close too 80)

And one day, while out at a kiddie party with my daughter, a random parent from the center where I was previously employed saw me and said, "Wow, Neka you are beautiful outside of work". Who me I thought, you got it twisted, I'm ALWAYS beautiful..I get my hair done EVERY week, eyebrows always freshly done, got a designer bag on me at all times.
 However, one would beg to differ if they saw me in that hideous work uniform 5 days a week.

That Monday, I made up in my mind, I would start leaving my uniform at work and getting myself beautified. The 1st day I came in the center without my uniform on, my former boss asked," Ummm Ms.Neka, do you have your uniform"? I replied, "I do".. Tuh, I thought, I'm looking good this day!!!
Ladies, there are a number of things we cannot do( although I find myself guilty of a few)

1) Wear flip flops from last year( old navy always have that 1.00 sale, rack up)
2) Leave out the house in sweatpants( you never know when you'll bump into an ex or former rival, always look your best)
3) Forget to grab your lip gloss
4) Go without a dab of smell good
5) Not comb your hair
6) Run out the house and NOT match...

 We NEVER know who we will encounter in such a short time, so let's make sure we're looking and smelling good~
