Leggings with Bows, Moptops & Potato chips

Howdy... I'm on my way back from my mental vacay. Sometimes you have to take some time off from everything to get your mind right. Erykah Badu wrote 'Window Seat' just for me... lol.

I was at traffic court a few days back. I had a super early check in time but if any of you know, that appointment time means nothing. I stood in a line that wrapped around a building, so I decided to people watch. There was a really hip, trendy chick in line. Fly sunglasses, hot white handbag- just really cute for it to be 8 am. As the line moved, I noticed there was something special about her leggings. They had bows on them! I don't know her name, but cute girl, thanks for inspiration! Gotta buy these!

OWWWW! I really want these! Charlie 5 Point mini bow leggings on BoutiqueToYou.com on sale for $79! I have $79... I'm gonna buy these this week! These leggings are cute & multi-functional- pumps, sandals, flats, dressy or casual. You gotta buy some too!

I have a thing for white shirts. Long sleeves, short ones, tanks, tight, loose- you can't go wrong with a white shirt. I'd pair this Mango brand shirt

with the leggings. It has a cute zipper in the back

and obviously everyone loves it because its on backorder on Asos.com for $33.65-

Black & white works on a job interview... so I'd turn the outfit up with a bright, splashy color and one of my favorite things; A CARDIGAN!!!

Victoriassecret.com for $29.50- you can buy a bunch of these at this price. The short sleeves give it a different cardigan look. You can do this for summer with a tank or like I did, layer it with sleeves. Push the shirt sleeves back, grab some bracelets & pumps like these

Steve Madden makes these. 'Caryssa' on Piperlime for $89.00... I bought these back at Christmas from Bakers & I love them. This is a great shoe at a reasonable cost- hell, Rachel Zoe made them one of her shoe picks on Piperlime (after I bought them... assume what you will from my comment...).

I made a new friend a few months ago. We'd met once or twice before but this particular night after talking about potato chips, she became one of my favorite people. Fast forward a few months and my new stylish friend launched a seriously fly, grown up blog about everything from Henna hair coloring to recipes to DIY projects & her fashion picks (which are fly!)- check out

Happy Shopping!
