Classic Combo

Hello everyone!! I hope you all had a great Labor Day weekend! I surely did! There is nothing like spending quality time with family. I'm anticipating my next visit home :)  Today's post is my dressy casual style. By now, you all know I love comfy, yet cute outfits; so, this on my fave's list.  I also love the look because it is sort of retro. Pencil skirts have been around for decades. Christian Dior created the classic skirt back in the 40's . They are just as popular today as they were  then. Although my skirt is red, it is subtle and adds just enough pop to my ensemble. The black & white polka dot top is simple too; however, the V-neck/ruched sleeves make it stand out. These are great color combinations and are ideal for work, church, or even a relaxed date night. 

My hair is in a twist out style with an afro look.  I used Hawaiian Silky 14-n-1 to for the twist out.  When I want the "big hair," I use a pick to raise and lift my hair from the root. Doing so adds more volume and provides a fuller look.  I love the versatility of natural hair.  There is never a dull moment!
