Today is Day Five and I am feeling great about this 30 for 30. Here in the Lou we had an extra three to four inches of snow to fall unexpectedly and it look so pretty. I know a lot people are tired of the snow but it really doesn’t bother me at all. I have loved watching the snow fall and I really love playing in it. And you know when we get cold temperatures and snow it wards off a lot of bugs in the spring and summer so it’s for a reason. At least that what my Mother use to tell me.
Any hoo lets get to Day Five of 30 for 30!
I am loving how I styled this outfit, can’t you see the smile on my face. At first glance I thought the pattern of the sweater might clash with the skirt but it goes perfectly. I am really liking everything about it and really happy with my body shape. Did I say that? yes I sure did. I work out really hard so it feels good to love the way I look. Also, I really love my hair and how I can go from straight to curly, I can do so much with it and I get asked questions about products and how to take care of curly hair often.
Hats are a favorite of mine so I had to put one on because this had looks great on me in this outfit. One last thing I am really loving my eyelashes, they are growing so long. I will do a future post about what I a have been using lately for my lashes.

Melissa P of aworkingmomscloset.blogspot.com and Hope from Hope and the Dress Code http://hopeandthedresscode.blogspot.com/ started Fabulous in February and it’s good way for ladies to start feeling great about themselves since negativity is always the first thing that is said so I think this is a great idea. The challenge is every Monday for the month of February we have to say something good about ourselves in our regular post. Thanks Melissa and Hope!

Huffington Post
There’s been a lot of controversy over the Alexander McQueen dress that First Lady Michelle Obama wore at a White House formal dinner hosting Chinese President Hu Jintao. Yes, it was a European designer and the United States is trying to make ways to get the clothing industry back with so many jobs have been outsourced to foreign countries. In the past, Mrs. Obama has spotlighted up-and-coming American fashion designers. However, the remarks made by Sally Singer of T Magazine for the New York Times was completely unnecessary and out of line. Point blank.
On February 3rd Sally Singer said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe show that the dress did not fit or flatter Mrs. Obama well and that she was to old for the dress and it should of been worn by a younger diminutive woman. Younger and diminutive! OMG! Did I say OMG? Yes, OMG!
The video below spotlights Sally Singer’s opinion about the Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress for the first part of the video. It then delves off into men’s leggings.
%CODE1%
The First Lady looks awesome in the dress and for Ms. Singer to say that Mrs. Obama is too old to wear the dress is not only a harsh remark to all women over the age of 40. You mean to tell me that an over 40 diva cannot wear an off-the-shoulder, full-length dress? That is simply preposterous.

Diminutive
The First Lady is statuesque and holds her own in this dress. Why would she need to be diminutive? Why are we putting women in a box to be regurgitated out to be this specific size, height and shape?
Ms. Singer needs to think before she speaks because I noticed that no one in the video spot agreed with her. She was all by herself with that comment. When will we, as a society, feel freedom in being happy with what ever shape or size a woman is? To put a woman in a box to say she needs to look like this and be this height or weight continues the stereotyping and size bashing.
Enough is Enough…..

GO RED!

Ornamental Belt
Natural stone ring & coin bracelet
I wearing Red for Heart Health Awareness today. Gotta love it! I will post more pictures of the detail and the jewelry later tonight because I didn’t get the chance to do it last night. It’s been so cold here that I have been taking pics in my living room. Oh well, I will share some snow pictures soon.
I must say I am loving all these fruit and vegetables that I have been eating; and working out has been such an energy booster. We must take care of ourselves inside and out. If the inside doesn’t feel good, the outside will follow the same feeling.

Day Three
Just because it’s winter, cold and snowy doesn’t mean you can’t have color. I love color all year long because it brings a smile to my face especially when I am wearing it. Pink and Light blue look good on every complexion so add some color to your wardrobe if you’ve been stuck in black and gray this season. You will be amazed at how good color makes you feel.

Loving The Pink!
Loving The Pink!
This was suppose to be my Day One: Thirty for Thirty outfit, however I had a day off due to the frozen rain and sleet with possible snow. Well anyway I am loving the pink. This color is also the 2011 Pantone color of the year. Pink or bright fuchsia known as honeysuckle is everywhere from fashion to home furnishings.
I love how the pink in this sweater lights up my complexion and accentuates the whole outfit. Having one piece of your outfit with a burst of color whether it’s a blouse, sweater or scarf can make a world of difference because it can make you look more youthful because it adds that additional pop.
