Just Another Day (Shop Your Closet)

Hello Everyone!

I hope all is well with everyone that is reading. Today, has been such a beautiful day thus far. I went out to complete a second day of blogging. When I opened the door it was like Beauty hit me right in the face and I loved it. Can I tell you how good it feels to wake up with no anger of what the day would bring. Meaning, you know what kind of day your were going to have before you woke up. I understand we make the best of our days. We say what kind of day we plan on having. However, its different when you are not happy with what you currently are faced with such as your job. Yes, it pays the bills but, is that we have to look forward in life. I am here to tell you HELL NO! You are not happy with the way your life is going and you have prayed and prayed that God get you out of a situation. Well I believe and agree with what Oprah Winfrey stated and I am paraphrasing here. That when we have prayed about a situation and we are waiting on God to make it happen, God is actually waiting on us to make the next move. Whatever you may go through just know there is always a way out. Remember our calculations are not God's calculation. What we see with the naked eye is not how God sees it. Be smart and designed a life that you will wake up to love everyday. Now on to fashion. I stated that I was going to start a challenge in the month of February to challenge women to shop their own closet. Keep your money in your purse and shop your own closet. I am pretty sure there are clothes in your closet right now that still have the price tag on it. I am going to challenge you ladies to get creative and rock your clothes like you just bought it from the mall that day. I think I have jump started this challenge with today's outfit. Everything I had on has been in my closet at least six months. I love buying statement pieces that can be worn with a lot and remixed in different ways. Starting Feb. 1 which is also Super Bowl Sunday we will start our challenge and see just how many outfits we have in our closet.Since there are already several women doing this same challenge. The hashtag is going to be distinctive to Classy Confident Curves. So it will be #CCCShopYourCloset. Every look using only the clothes in your closet you will use the hashtag #CCCShopYourCloset.

Wild Wild West

Hello Ladies and Gents who may also be reading!

I hope everyone is doing well today! I wanted to bring yet another blog featuring this Boo Hoo Duster Coat. This trend is so chic and classy and I just had to purchase my own. This coat can be worn in many different ways. I decided to pair it with jeans and a simple white top. Of course I had to throw in some color with my leopard print scarf, belt, and mustard yellow pumps from Lola Shoetique. I feel like Kool Moe Dee in that song The Wild Wild West. I remember my mother had this caramel brown duster she used to rock and she was baddddddddd. This look reminds me of the song. LOL!  Recently, I resigned from my job and decided to fully jump into starting my own image consulting/personal styling business. Since, I have so much more time to do what I love I will be blogging a lot more. I even came up with the idea to do a Shop Your Closet Challenge for the month of February. As much as I love to shop I also love to keep my money in my pocket. This challenge gives you the chance to know what is in your closet and also pushes out your own creativity. More details will be given as we get closer to February. Until then lets see the featured look. I am getting used to a new area and let me just say the onlookers are so confused as to what I was doing. It was so funny seeing people in the neighborhood almost stop and stare to see what I had going on. This is a great look for a lot of occasions.

Don't forget more details on the Shop Your Closet Challenge in February will be on the next blog and also on Instagram. Until next time ladies and gentleman XOXO

Closing Doors to Open New Ones

Hello EVERYBODY!!!!!!

As Rick Flair would say WHOOOOAAAAAA! Yes, I watched wrestling as well. Ladies and gentleman do I have have some news for you. So, as you know I love fashion so much to the point I have begun the urge to want to start my own personal styling business. Classy Confident Curves was to cover my plus size women and cover the blog. Now after thinking a lot about my life and what I really wanted to accomplish I started thinking about my major loves. I have a major love for not only FASHION but also MEN, and FOOTBALL. I had a little compelling insight on what rookie football players go through from the decision to leave college and enter into the league from the combine to the draft. Something I noticed was that there are a lot of cameras for television appearances. This appearances show an image of a man that is about to take the field for his rookie debut. These appearances show how well they answers questions, how they pronounce certain words, and how well they are dressed. Some of these men need guidance before getting in front of the camera. Some need proper etiquette and grooming before they even play their first game. That is where I come in. Introducing Notorious Fashion unLeashed. GET IT!!! NFL. This business is welcome to all who need or want to brand their image. I believe this movement can be beneficial to those up and coming football players to help begin building their name and giving people something to talk about on and off the field. Anything doing with their appearance I am ready for. There are some potential prospects entering the league who need some guidance in how to conduct themselves in public because that camera is always ready even when they are not.

You may ask how will you have time to pursue this business Stacei?  Well for starters today January 9, 2015 I resigned from my corporate position to work around the clock to make this happen. That was my other big news. Yes, God has called me out for working for others to help earn more money and called me into making my own money. I have worked in customer service since I was 15 years old and always worked for someone else. Never had the idea on owning my own business until this year. Can you say FAITH ON FLEEK right now I have neverrrrrrrrrrrrrr in a million years thought I would be that person that would quit a job to pursue anything where I didn't have something to fall back on. I did it! I am doing it and this will be done! Notorious Fashion unLeashed will be successful. I know this is going to be rough journey but I believe that God will be with me every step. So, today I wanted to show what an unemployed turn self employed woman looks like. Lol! This is not a downfall but a step up!
