This may be funny to only me but........

Remember this clutch under my arm........

So this weekend the Hubster took me out to easily one of my favorite spots of all time. so as you see above I am dressed in something very nice. I have made a personal life statement to NEVER suck in my stomach again...BUT I never said I wouldn't wear spanx! So that is what this dressed needed.

This is the restaurant.

About half way through the above meal can anyone guess what was going on???? The spanx was failing BIG TIME, so unknown to the hubby I decide to excuse myself and try and be extra sexy and do....(you all can figure it out i'm sure)

Well when I returned to the table I noticed that the clutch (from above) wouldn't close all the way so I placed it on the chair and pulled my chair in I very nicely leaned over and told the hubby what I had done to which he says "WHAT!!" (that was completely hilarious to me because in the movies it's usually a different reaction)

Anywho the night goes on we get ready to head back and for some reason I notice that my clutch is now able to CLOSE!!! WTFF(what the flying f***)! At one point during our evening there was a much older gentlemen who I thought lost his dentures or something because he stooped down, picked something up and kept it moving. NOW I KNOW WHAT HE PICKED UP!! 

I decided to share because at the time I didn't tell Hubster, I actually didn't tell him until today and he laughed so hard, I thought it would only be funny to me.. SMH and a lot creeped out! It was a nice pair too.

Birthday Weekend..woot! woot!

Disclaimer: photo heavy post ahead, you've been warned!




Happy Monday lovelies, I am giving you ladies and gents a glimpse into my birthday weekend!!


I am truly in love with an area called Conesus Lake (It is about 35minutes from our home), we ventured into the area for Father's day to have dinner at a very lovely place called Conesus Inn and I've never looked back so to speak.

 (the view from the beach)


For those who do not truly know me here is an insight on the inner workings of Mrs. Wright, I am a mom, wife, sister, friend, co-worker, confidant, entrepreneur, cousin etc. etc. but most importantly I am SHENISE first and I sometimes need my space. So when Mr. Hubster asked what I would like for my birthday I said, time to myself, no kids, no phone, just me to do as I please. well as you all saw on my birthday I was surrounded by love(no complaints here) so it NEVER crossed my mind that he listened Well....................He did and he got me a room on CONESUS LAKE at a bed & breakfast and let me tell you it was Awesomesauce! 

(These shoes are smoking so I guess we'll get a fine, lol)

(I am always happy to see a white bathroom because if it isn't a clean establishment it will show on anything white!)


I sat by the water and ate. I got to read a book, take a real nap, for those of you who aren't parents a real nap is when you can fully let your subconscious go and sleep, when you are a parent and the kids are around TRUST you may think we're fully asleep but we never are!! It was such a fulfilling experience and just what the doctor ordered. 

(shoe shopping, reading and alone time. that's what i'm talking about)






But the cherry on top was that he came back some hours later and took me to dinner at Conesus Inn. Talk about some good food and good company. 

(this meal was absolutely fantastic, we couldn't finish it all but the leftovers was just as good!)

We ended the night with some drinks and dancing at a local nightspot Beachcombers which was behind the bed & breakfast.

I decided to color block with my accessories today!! This is my summer scarf. It was pretty gloomy today so I thought it appropriate.

I am back to taking my own photos so my top is a simple white shirt and bell bottom pants!

This is the best I could do for a full body!! Happy day loves!!

HAPPY FRIDAY LOVES

Hello world, it is Friday and it is officially my birthday weekend!! Woot! Woot!! So here is the scoop my birthday is July 19th and yesterday I was feeling something awful! More like

my brain was feeling like this!!

All day I just want to do this!!

But my day picked up around 2ish when I received this!!

Ladies and maybe some gents you know how special you feel when you receive something at work. The fruit was delicious even though I couldn't eat it at the time(I was having some serious nausea). And in the card was a gift card to DSW shoes so I left work early and went and purchased these!!

Love, love, love them!!

So in all my day started suspect but it ended wonderfully, my family came through for some of my hubby's famous spaghetti and I felt truly loved, lucky and blessed! keep scrolling for some family shots!!

 why must Quis look so confused, lol

 Is his eyes closed, smh, lol

 This is my sister and my "twin" that was born three years after me.

My love know how I am truly a kid at heart and true to form we not only had cake but we also had ice cream. Naopoleon to be exact and he got me my ice cream cones (because for some reason naopoleon just doesn't seem right without a cone).

Let me just say this cake was wonderful, it is my favorite from our grocery store Wegmans(if you don't have a Wegmans you are NOT living, lol). It is yellow with strawberries and a strawberry filling in the middle. YUM! YUM! YUMMY!!

I hope your day is great and I am sure my weekend is going to be a blast!!

MY OPEN LETTER TO ME FOR YOU

 

THIS IS ME, LATE NIGHT, WRITING TO MYSELF I HOPE YOU ALL READ THIS AND TAKE SOMETHING FROM IT. I'M NOT SURE WHO MAY BENEFIT BUT I DO HAVE TO SAY THAT I'VE BENEFITED AND MY LIFE IS THE BETTER FOR IT! LOVE YOU ALL FOR READING, LOVE YOU ALL MORE FOR YOUR COMMENTS!!

As I look back on my life I remember having a conversation with a friend of mine she explained that she had to remind herself that she is not in a race with anyone.  At the time I urged her on and nodded but I wish checking my mental checklist of things “I should have completed by the time I’m thirty.” My dear friend I now understand and I am no longer in a race that I can never seem to catch up. I take my family on my shoulders and when they hurt I hurt, when they’re in need I am trying to find a way to help them but I am no longer responsible for people who aren’t responsible to themselves.

I am no longer holding on to what if, maybe, should I have or why didn’t I the mantra “it is what it is” will hold true and steadfast for the rest of my life. I forgive myself for all of the stupid mistakes in my twenties i.e. not reading the Bible, all of the unnecessary school loans, and still lacking a higher education, the emphasis on material wealth, not loving completely and wholly, amongst other stupid things. I FORGIVE, I FORGIVE you JC, I realize the pain you inflicted on me may have changed the person I was supposed to be but it made me into the strong person I am today and by me holding on to the awful nugget of shame it continues to rear its ugly head at me whenever it chooses. I am taking my birthday not as a day to receive gifts or celebrate and bask in my glory but as a day to completely embrace the person I plan to be from this day forward. 

As of this day I will no longer blame myself for anything that I didn’t have a direct part in, I will embrace when someone walks out of my life because that means they’re doing me a favor, I will no longer complain about the lack of social life or anything I will instead enjoy having healthy, smart and darn right gorgeous kids. I will learn to soften my heart and tighten my lips when I’m upset with my husband. In other words love of my life I will listen twice as much as I talk and when I talk it will be from love and understanding (I know I have work to do but I appreciate your patience). I will live for me and not care what anyone thinks or say. I will fully embrace my creativity and paint my walls any color I damn well please (with some compromising with the hubby, lol). I will hold true and firm to my word if I say I am going to be there barring any unfortunate circumstance I’m there, If I say yes I mean yes and I will learn to say no and not feel one ounce of remorse. To my children I will plan more one on one dates with you, life moves fast and I want to make sure I am right there with you, supporting you and catching you when you stumble. 

To myself I understand the pain you’ve been through and the feelings of “being cheated” life hasn’t always been fair to you but somehow you’ve come throw the other side not always smelling so fresh or looking spectacular but you’ve come through and you’ve continued to put one foot in front of the other when it would have made sense to just lay down for awhile. You are more than what some people paint you as and you know it. You will stop being your worst enemy and let others take that title; you will stop talking yourself out of things and just start taking risks. Continue to put one foot in front of the other and while you’re at it smile and wave because there are people watching you and you look good lady!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD AND YOUR ERA TO MAKE ALL KINDS OF NEW/DIFFERENT MISTAKES.

Love,

Your biggest fan!!

Outift..Turban Tuesday on Wednesday

My blog is so colorful..sorry sidetracked but I just love the skittles vibe i'm giving off lately!!


Soooooooooo. I am testing the waters of style and dress at the office to see just exactly what I can get away with and thus I present to you Turban Tuesday on Wednesday!!


In all actuality I took out my twists and my hair appointment isn't until tonight and I am too grown to call in because of a bad hair day so check it out and let me know how I did. 

I think the silky-ness of the scarf made me lack fullness in the top, oh well my lip gloss is popping. That is all that matters!!

The pleating in the front really came out good but my little guy lacks a steady hand.

But a photo of my feet come out clear. SMH!!

I have to work on my photo quality my previous work experience at a photo studio would be insulted as of late, lol.

Newport News, VA

Hello blosphere, did you miss me?!? I missed you! I have to get a hang of the weekend posting so please just bare with me.

This was my traveling outfit, comfy with a twist


This weekend was the Nationals for AAU in Newport News, VA so we traveled 9 hours away to support my oldest my cuddle bug TJ!

That's him putting in that work!!!


After tons of games he is in 2 AAU squads, his age 12U and he plays up 13U, his 13U team made it to the SHIP!! Championship that is and they played hard but they didn't pull out a Win but I am so proud of him and the team out of 67 teams they got silver, not too shabby!!

My little photographer was to busy being too cool for school that we took no photos of my outfits so one day this week maybe i'll play dress up!

Miss.Mikayla was representing, the back of her shirt said "Primetime ballers" Get it boo!!(Sorry for the pic, kinda spooky huh)




How was your weekend???

Outfit

I am new to the "fashion" side of blogging so bare with me and if there are any suggestions feel free.


My youngest boy will be with us for some time (he's the Mister son but there are no "steps" in our family) and he is a morning owl so before we ran off to camp I grabbed him to take my outfit photos, here goes.....

First off my son is hilarious, I was trying to give my Tyra pout and he puts the phone down and says smile. Here is my gripe "button ups" annoy me if you tuck, then it looks sloppy, if you half tuck your belly looks...less than flattering, pull it all the way out and I'm at a loss but I swear right now after reviewing this the shirt has changed!!

These shoes are my absolute favorite. I've had them forever and I think I always will. Maybe I'll save them for Mikayla!!

Being silly, but the photographer was NOT impressed. lol 

Very simple accessories, I am having a complete brain fart but there is a woman who said "before you leave your house take off one accessory." So instead I just went with minimal. This necklace means a lot to me it's a two in one, the heart is from my mother from a birthday three years ago and the half heart says 'big sis' the other half "lil sis" was given to my youngest sister (who I am sure has lost it by now) but I take being a big sister very seriously so I've always hung onto it.


I also have this close up because I sometimes like to play Russian-roulette, I close my eyes and pull out whatever color from my make-up bag and this right here happens to be my all time favorite color Mac's Luster glass Venetian.So pretty!!


I hope your day is great and something happens that makes you say "AwesomeSauce"!

My obsession..headbands

Hello world, I have three of the most wonderful children and I really do mean they are wonderful even when it's 11pm and my 11 month old feels the need to grab her suitcase and carry it EVERYWHERE she goes I still bask in her glory. With that being said there will be periodic posts about said wonderful children and today will feature my little princess Mikayla!!

That's her trying to play with her shadow! I bleached the vest(which at one point was a jacket) and her skirt is from Children's place. But what I would like to have you focus on is her headband(not a good angle I know)...... I MADE IT! So today's post is all about her new headbands which I am inspired to do today!

This is my traveling kit..............................

and this is the beginning of something fantabulous! and yes I am at work <hehehehe>
