Outfit: A Professional Leopard

Greetings Fashion Mavens,

How's your week going so far? I'm trying hard to keep my focus on what God has for me and it is giving me sooo much insight, discipline, and humility. What a blessing. I struggle with spiritual discernment, not because I don't have it, but because I don't use it like I should. Thank goodness I have favor, grace, and mercy. The trials we face on a daily basis can really get you down if you don't continue to seek the face of God. I allowed the actions of another to affect me recently. Never again. I can only be responsible for me and I refuse to throw any more pity parties because there are people out there who don't know how to be honest. SMH.

On Sunday, I fed my soul with the word and I stepped out with a new dress I bought specifically with church and work in mind.

WHOA! This wide-legged stance makes me look.......wide. Note to self: Don't EVER stand/pose like this again in a printed sheath dress. SMH!

I went with the "young professional" style for this outfit. The only non-conservative element was my spiked heels.

Oh yea....that gargantuan ring and those statement earrings are beyond conservative. But they add pizazz!!!! Those are my favorite silver earrings and I'm sorry you guys have to be subjected to them frequently on this blog....but I refuse to give them up. It's the only pair I've bought from Forever 21 that has lasted this long.....going on 4 years!!!

The leopard print on this dress is subtle but makes a simple sheath look very modern.

Blazer/Dress/Handbag - Zara
