Michelle’s Sunday Best
WAYW #31
My friend Soluto had a birthday dinner and the dress code was dress to impress. Last week, my friend/coworker Adrian gave me her awesome thrift find because she’s a great friend and the dress was too short for her. This class engine red dress paired with some pearls and some pumps was definitely a winner.

Taking it easy for the last week of school
WAYW #32
Sometimes it’s the little things that make your day. This day, it was my pink sparkly pedicure. With school winding down, I actually had time to pamper myself and do my own nails. Although I usually prefer the french tip look, I opted for something girly to celebrate the summer.
Another thing I loved about my outfit was the patterned shirt…which is actually a dress from Forever 21! I learned from my baby sister, Ney, to wear those too-short dresses as tops to make them work, school, or church appropriate. It’s not a good for me as a teacher and a woman of God to be wear “Oh oh ohh Freakum dresses.”
But anyway, I love when Ney is in town. I feel like my closet doubles in size!
WAYW #31 If I wear a boy…
I’d probably wear an outfit like this:
It was free-dress day at school. I chose to wear an oxford shirt, my brother’s tie (which I woke up my dad to tie for me), a v-neck khaki sweater, and dark wash skinny jeans.
The kids had their jaws on the floor. Some told me I look like a boy. One student said I looked LIVE (“on-point”, “stylish”)!
My style this year has changed quite a bit from when I was in college. When I first went natural, I had a slightly androgynous style. I was obsessed with mens vests and ties. That paired with a teeny wee afro and red lipstick made for some interesting moments!
See what I mean?
Since then, I’ve become decidedly more feminine-looking, or at least I think. Lol.
