My Nephews Ezekiel and Elijah

Soooo, you may ask yourself, "Who are Ezekiel and Elijah?" Well, the answer is, they are two little boys who stole my heart! Ezekiel and Elijah are my nephews. I was blessed with two amazing little men as my nephews. Two brilliant, happy, playful, intelligent, exciting, blessed little boys.
They are both amazing and unique in very different ways. Ezekiel is just like his TT JoJo he is an inherent leader. He is just like me. He is bossy and full of life. I love it. Elijah, on the other hand, is very easy going. He has a smile that will light up any room and make your day.
There is no love out there like the love I have for my nephews. No matter what I am going through, if I catch a glimpse of their smiles, my day has immediately been made. They are my light in a dark day.
I love these little men.
Ezekiel is starting to talk and one of my favorite things to do is to call my baby boy and listen to him sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. He sings it theee best!
I love them and how joyful and full of life they are. I am so thankful to my sister and my brother-in-law for bringing two lovely little boys in the world.
I am one proud TT and I am enjoying watching my boys grow up :)

Love you "Zeke Man" and "Baby Eli" :)

The Tribal Print Pencil Skirt

So, I am definitely obsessed with prints. You will most likely see a lot of my outfits with dramatic print pieces. I love loud colors and prints on my pants, leggings, jeans, and tops. This is one of my favorite skirts in my little collection. It is a tribal print skirt I got a while ago at Ann Taylor Loft.
Two reasons why I love this skirt 1) The print is not cliche in its patterns or colors 2) It is a pencil skirt
I am a huge fan of the pencil skirt because it is flattering to EVERY body type. Every woman of every shape can pull of a pencil skirt. All that matters is what shoes and top you pair it with. Obviously pencil skirts always look good with a cami/basic tee tucked into it, but I also like pairing it with loose blouses like I did in this outfit. Just make sure whatever top you pair it with doesn't bunch up under the body hugging skirt for people to see.
So anyway, back to the prints. A lot of people feel as though when they wear a printed piece they MUST match the rest of their outfit to the colors in that print and this is FALSE! I love getting creative with my prints. As you see in this outfit, my skirt does not have an ounce of green in it yet I have matched it with a lace army green top and a pair of army green gladiator heels.
Get creative with your prints! Just be careful not to look stupid by doing too much. Less is sometimes more but this doesn't stop you from being creative.

P.S. I apologize for all the stuff in the background of my pics. ooopss

Simple T-Shirt

So, i'm on my way to go help my friend apartment hunt. I decided to go casual yet dressy. Threw on this old tshirt and one of my baby doll skirts. I have literally had this skirt for 7 years. I am pretty sure I got it at Charlotte Russe. It's an old skirt but it was well taken care of so it doesn't look old.
So anyway, tshirt and a skirt kinda day :)
Hope you are all having a great day. Look out for tomorrows outfit post! Its a cute one. At least I think so haha
