So I finally got to wear my dress that I got for FREE!!! That's right. For anyone who missed it, let me give a quick recap. I went shopping for my birthday. I was at my last stop of the day-Charlotte Russe-and of course I was over my spending limit. Despite the fact that I'm a grad student, living on a grad student budget (which is quite close to the poverty line once tuition has been paid) I still felt it okay for me to buy two more articles of clothing beyond my limit. Well, my buddy God was apparently looking out for me, because when I got the register the girl said $31.36 (or something close to that), and I said, I'm sorry did you ring up both items. She says, get ready for this one, she says, oh it's buy one get one FREE. That's right, I bought a sweater and got a dress for FREE. So, I thought I'd share a pic of me in my dress. I had to put a shirt on underneath which takes away a bit from the cuteness because I thought it'd be too cold for the dress alone, but I was happy to be able to squeeze it in before Fall came into full effect. Anyhoo, it made me happy to wear my FREE dress, and I thought I'd share a pic with you all. My hair is the remnants of a two day old twist out. I did two strand twists using Carol's Daughter Some of Maurgerite's Magic and Shea Butter. At night I did absolutely nothing, I let my head hit my satin pillow case and turned in for the night. Surprisingly, doing nothing at night was the best that a twist out has held up for me (except for re-twisting at night), but I've also tried ponytail and tie down with a scarf. Anyhoo, that's all I have for now. I hope to hear from you all soon!!!!!! Post those comments and send those emails.
Tootles for now,
Lady Shay
PS-That's my baby Miles in the back by my foot. He's so cute even from a profile shot with his head partially hidden by my leg. So cute!!!!!!
LOVE IT!!! ....and can i borrow that dress :-) teehee
ReplyDeleteStill laughing about the free dress. OMG loving the next post about loving your natural curls. I'm learning to love my natural curls, thickness and all, although everytime I detangle I'm ready to sit myself down in somebody's chair and get a relaxer, but I do restrain. I tend to wash my hair at night after all shops are closed!
ReplyDeleteKesha,
ReplyDeleteLol, keep washing your hair at night!!! Do what you have to to stay out of that chair. Detangling is an issue, I plan to write an entry about it soon, but little preview, Chicoro has a book about natural hair and she has a lot of detangling tipw. I own the book if you ever want to borrow it. And I love your curls, Michael Jackson and all :-)
Thanks Shunta!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe he, no maam you can not borrow it. I probably need to come to your house now to do inventory of your closet, sticky hands McGee :-) Love you.
PS-did you get any shoes from DSW? I'm on shopping restriction so someone needs to be shopping on my behalf :-)
