Greetings Fashion Friends,
Today, I'm headed to do something that is close to my heart. Whenever possible, I lend my voice, presence, and/or funds to fight injustices in our world. I'm headed to Florida A&M University's School of Law for a protest planning meeting. Unless you purposely avoid the news, social media, or the radio, I'm sure you have heard of the tragic case that occurred here in central Florida recently. A 17 yo young man, with his entire life ahead of him, was shot down in alleged "self-defense" by a neighborhood watch volunteer. This happened during NBA All Star weekend as Trayvon Martin took a break from watching the game with his dad, to go to the local convenience store to get snacks for him and his younger sibling. I am appalled and greatly disturbed that his shooter is still free. Apparently, the police believed the shooter's side of the story that he was defending his self. Ummm.....my best friend was in a car accident and although it was pretty clear who was at fault, the police couldn't take her side until all evidence was reviewed and witness statements were gathered. The circumstances surrounding this particular case appear to be rather suspect. There are witnesses, Trayvon was defenseless, and the 911 calls support the witnesses' recounts. Yet still, not one charge has been made.....NOT ONE!.
Today, I am standing up for the injustices that occur in our communities on a daily basis. Today, I'm lending my voice, my presence, and my funds, if necessary, to help educate others as well as take a stand against unfairness, racial profiling, violence, and injustice. I sincerely hope that you all will fight hard for the basic rights of our people, our communities, and this nation. We should no longer have to confront these issues in America. Our children should not fear walking to the store. And most of all....if we can prevent it, we should not allow a mother and father to bury their child. I hope you agree. Please join with me and pray for the families of this departed 17 yo boy. May his young soul rest in peace.
To those of you who are really sensitive to this kind of tragedy, I'm sorry, but I had to speak on this. And to to lighten up this post a little, I'd like to share a few pics from my weekend attire. It has been rather warm here lately so of course I was more than happy to bring out one of my summer staples......so don't talk about me when you see this dress frequently in the coming months.
Arrivederci!

My nephew bought me this dress for my bday a few years back and it brings me great joy that I can wear it again. LOL!
This chunky bra was a tad bit much for the sweetheart neckline of this dress. Haaa!
I don't know what color this dress is.....but I'm gonna guess gray. However, up close, it has some purple undertones.
