So here I am looking in my closet as I am moving and guess what I found???? You got it...items with tags still on them or ... items that were only worn once.... ah damn those comfy clothes lol.<br />
<br />
What are comfy clothes you may ask.... well they are my go to staples... especially for work. I love clothes... I do but I have the #buyitandsaveitforaspecialoccasion syndrome smh... Special occasions are everyday from now on. When I am at work, I need to be comfortable but that doesn't mean I can't be cute honey lol.<br />
<br />
So what do I do???? I set out on a mission to wear thirty different outfits in 30 days!<br />
<br />
Mission accomplished... except for the 2 Saturdays I gladly spent at home in PJ's<br />
<br />

When I realized that I could do this, I was happy to be so blessed. It was very hard though, not reverting back into comfyville lol. I even got my office mate Jessica involved as she became my photographer. She would even remind me that we had to take our daily picture to document my success! THANKS JESS!!!!! </div>

Some items were purchased a while ago so I will not be including links BUT I will list the name of the stores where they were purchased.... as you can see, i also incorporated wigs into my challenge ( I don't have 30 but I am close lol) I am a naturalista, in my in between stage, and still learning my hair. Wigs are an awesome way to change things up, and are an awesome protective style! </div>

Let's see... We have - in no particular order...<br />
<br />
Target, Ashley Stewart, Old Navy, Simply Be, Asos, TJ MAX, Boohoo, Eloqui, Forever 21, Burlington, Layne Bryant and some smaller boutiques.<br />

I also documented my experiment on my IG page (<a href="https://instagram.com/findinglola7/" target="_blank">Findinglola7</a>) and my facebook page (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/FindingLola7" target="_blank">Finding Lola7</a>) and received such great feedback from other plus girls and friends that were looking forward to the next outfit!<br />
<br />
It wasn't always chic nor was it always high end, but besides challenging myself, I wanted to inspire others!<br />
<br />
P.S. I ended p giving away so much clothes!!!!! It was good to get a clean sweep of my closet and even better to be able to help others!<br />

Last summer I made a life changing decision. I wore a bikini for the first time in about 20 years... AND I LOVED IT!!!!<br />
<br />
Part of loving the skin your in is to dare to be bold, dare to be different and I figured, many plus sized women were getting on this band wagon so why not.... take myself out of my comfort zone and be free. Free of judgements, free of fear and free from societal norms... Honey I truly embraced the skin I was in and enjoyed every minute of it.<br />
<br />
Now I am on the hunt for a few suits for this summer. I went bold last year with this awesome red swimsuit from <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Category.aspx?br=plus&category=plus_size-swimwear&pagesize=60&page=1" target="_blank">Forever 21 Plus </a>so as the time nears for me to swimsuit shop again I checked out what they have going on this year. I found a few suits that I like but I am definitely taking some time and scouting out some great suits for this summer! Here are some swimsuits that made the list!<br />

As I was thinking about writing my next post, I was mulling over topics. I realized that I have not done an outfit post in some time. I realized that I have been avoiding it at all cost... WHY?<br />
Then it dawned on me... Winter Blues, I have always had them, even the 8 years I lived in Florida.<br />
<br />
<br />

There is just something about this time of year that always gets me down. I love clothe, I love winter fashion, but I find myself in a winter blues rut every year. Although I purchase great pieces, I often run back to my go to staples and it's not cute y'all lol. I have no desire to wear the awesome boots, the 3 coats I bought this year, the awesome textured tights, the caramel wedges ... nothing... nothing is appealing to me ... It looks awesome on all my sister bloggers but this girl just can't get into it.<br />
<br />
Now I know what some people may be thinking that winter blues don't really exist but they do. It is defined as a "mild depression, lack of motivation, and low energy experienced during the cold season" (Web MD). It is estimated that there are 3million US cases per year, that's me I am definitely one of them, it's all I can do to just make it out the door in the morning, do drop offs and drive like a bat outta hell to make it in to work on time lol. Now the winter blues are less severe than Season Affective Disorder (SAD). SAD can span more than one season or you could be affected by any season. And in the NYC all this snow is not helping!<br />

So what is a fashionista with the winter blues to do? Well I try and rally against it and force myself into something fashionable at least once a week. I also stay inspired by other bloggers and I also pass on their awesome looks... just because I can't bring myself to wear it doesn't mean I don't enjoy seeing it on other women! <br />
<br />
Here are some of the looks I have enjoyed: (click on the link for their blogs) <br />

I love award shows, this one in particular as it celebrated the achievements of people of color! The speeches were moving and brought tears to my eyes and I felt as if I was there to celebrate with them. <br />
<br />
<br />As always the fashion was exceptional ... this award show fashion was spectacular! My top four pics of the night were Tracee Ellis Ross (OMG I LOVE HER!), Teyonah Parris slayed the carpet as well as Gabrielle Union and OMG Angela Bassett - this woman is 56 years old!!!!! I pray to be like her when I grow up- simply BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! <br />
<br />
Here are more fashion DOS from that night As well as more pics of the ladies above...<br />

And the winner is - YEEESSSSS Jennifer Lopez. One thing I must give this lady is that everything she wears looks like it was designed for her and only her- I couldn't imagine anyone else wearing this dress! <br />
<br />
I remember being little and my mother gathering my sister and I in front of the TV to watch the award shows, not because she actually cared who won, but the FASHION made her eyes light up like it was Christmas. Well I guess the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree because although my mother has passed, my sister and I gathered together to watch all things fashion last night at the Golden Globes. Here are the rest of the looks I loved for one reason or another....<br />

First, let me apologize for my absence... This lady's been busy finishing up her Masters Degree!!!!!<br />
<br />
Whhooooooo Hoooooo for me. It has been a rough 2 1/2 years but I made it by the grace of God! I honestly never thought I would come this far or that I could but I did it, with hard work determination and belief in myself!!!! I am now an MSW (Masters in Social Work ) and I hope to continue to work with the college students I am working with in hopes of elevating them higher and higher!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
So you see, my absence wasn't about neglect.... It was about elevation! Elevating myself and getting in those last papers and exams so that I may be of service to others!!!!!!! <br />

Slowly but surely my curl pattern is returning (photos were taken on different days, I don't wet my hair everyday so when I don't the curls are fuller and fluffier) <br />

Having the bleach in my hair really did a number on it... the color was pretty but damaging even with the precautions I took.... I am coming to realize that there will be some cutting as a go along to get rid of damaged hair and for shaping and styling. <br />

I love seeing that the curls are coming back but sometimes I feel like my hair is a big ball of frizz. The next step is to try some products to combat this. I am excited because I saw an add for new <a href="http://www.softsheen-carson.com/_us/_en/optimum-care/" target="_blank">Optimum</a> products that I can't wait to try. I read in a Natural hair blog that much of the journey is trying to figure out what works for YOUR hair and that sometimes what works changes as you hair grows... I am finding this to be very true. What worked before this little Fro is not working now<span style="background-color: white;"> lol.</span> I also find that my hair is very very dry, even after the <span style="background-color: white;">castor </span>oil and other oils I am putting in. I have a plan for that too, I plan on making a mixture of oil and also trying more deep conditioning and steam treatments.I am also going to try the LOC method for moisture. The LOC method is a layering of leave in conditioner and oils to really moisturize your hair. <br />

I have been watching a few YouTube videos and they have been helpful; I will be trying some of the things I learned so stay tuned. I also found a link on <a href="http://hellobeautiful.com/2014/10/27/10-must-watch-youtube-videos-that-will-save-your-hair/" target="_blank">Hello Beautiful</a> about the best 10 natural hair videos you should watch and I must admit most of them were helpful. One of the bloggers on there, Yolanda Rene, has her own channel and has a 12 or 13 part series on natural hair... a kind of all you want to know about natural hair thing which I found very helpful, find it <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9ZH99--eTk&index=1&list=PLl_pdvI1agBE135eT9LhN2IvK_LLrz6wt" target="_blank">here</a> . <br />

Oh oh oh- here I go again with trying something new!!!!! I could not wait to get this in the mail and try it out! I love Amazon you can find anything there- so I went on the hunt! I bought the velvet manicure set you see here and 2 others a navy blue and a berry red. (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ciate+nail+polish+set+velvet+manicure&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aciate+nail+polish+set+velvet+manicure" target="_blank">get them here </a>)<br />
<br />
I must say- I was lightly disappointed for my first try but I think I have found the solution!<br />

The color for me was a little off and there was no top coat so I found that everything stained the velvet. Excuse the look lol - I had to paint my nails myself and I am not the best at it. The idea is awesome and application is easy all in all it was a pretty good experience. <br />

Ah- yes.... the solution I mentioned...... well there is a matte finish ( <a href="http://www.amazon.com/China-Glaze-Matte-Magic-Finish/dp/B00BTFKGNG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1414694721&sr=8-3&keywords=matte+top+coat" target="_blank">find it here</a>) that I want to put on top of the velvet and see if that helps with the staining. I want to also try the other colors I bought to see if maybe the color was throwing me off as well...... Stay tuned!!!!!<br />

I could not wait to get this in the mail!!!!! I fell in Love when I saw the blog post by <a href="http://thejenesaisquoi.blogspot.com/2014/09/cape-crusader.html">The Je Ne Sais Quoi </a>- I knew I had to have this cape by <a href="http://www.boohoo.com/all-coats/darcie-woven-cape-jacket/invt/pzz99687">Boohoo.com</a> and I immediately thought of different ways that I could style it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course the LBD is always appropriate! This is similar to how The Je Ne Saia Quoi <span id="goog_1644931631"></span><span id="goog_1644931632"></span>styled it, but I paired mine with a twist in the leopard print shoes and bold gold statement necklace! </div>

Hello Fashionistas! <br />
<br />
This Sunday I finally got a chance to get out into the beautiful weekend weather we had (NYC). I took a field trip with my niece to the movies.... I decided to be comfy and chic! Although comfy almost always wins in the end; a mixture of the two is never wrong! <br />

For someone who is not usually an on-line shopper, I went a little overboard recently and I couldn't wait to mix and match!!!! I have never really been a "nude" person when it came to bags and shoes because I would always use them to add color, nor was I an animal print person, especially pants but ... ehhh ... what can I say- this is all about me finding that girl in me again .."Lola" who would always go out on a limb.. so here I went... sitting on the ledge.<br />

I have always loved Kelly Osbourne! Well I love her even more now, today she launched her line named "Stories" on <a href="http://www.hsn.com/shop/storiesby-kelly-osbourne/12828?query=Stories...by%20Kelly%20Osbourne&isSuggested=True&" target="_blank">HSN</a>. She has quite a few yummy pieces that I may just have to add to my fall/winter wardrobe. Kelly, in an interview with <a href="http://www.luckymag.com/style/2014/09/kelly-osbourne-hsn_slideshow_item1_2" target="_blank">Lucky Magazine </a>stated that she wanted to make "fashion fair" - I love that idea... for far too long designers have equated plus size with frumpy designs and unbearable patterns; because we're plus doesn't mean that we do not want to be sexy or comfortable or casually chic. The range for the collection goes from size 0- 24 ! </div>

But this time, I have committed to letting my hair grow back completely natural. No perm, No texturizer, nothing but some color to hide the greys lol<br />

I think my hair has seen it all, I have been a red head, I have had black, brown, burgundy and platinum hair, I have let it grow, I have cut it off, I have worn protective styles, wigs, weaves, you name it ALMOST anything and I have done it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
About a year ago I came across some natural hair pages on Facebook (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/OfficialEClark" target="_blank">E Clark</a> , <a href="https://www.facebook.com/MyNaturalSistas?fref=ts" target="_blank">My Natural Sistas</a> , and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CourtneyNaturalHair" target="_blank">Courtney Natural Hair )</a> and instantly fell in love, it reminded me of how beautiful my hair was when I was younger. My mother cherished my sister and my hair. She took really good care of it and in tern we both have beautiful hair. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, my sister started this process before I did. She did not do the big chop as she is obsessed with big hair lol but she went about it gradually. First she went to texturizers instead of perms but found that her hair still was not at the level of health that she wanted. Then (because she is an avid weave and wig wearer- to achieve the style and look she loves) she stopped using chemicals all together. This practice and the combination of good old fashioned hair care allowed her to grow her hair out until she was able to be completely natural (maybe I can get her to write a post on her hair care- fingers crossed). Now all of her 4 girls are natural as well.</div>

The last big chop I did was to go platinum (this was before my natural hair craze) and to go platinum because of the amount of stress on your hair from the bleach, I had to stay natural. I loved the platinum but it definitely changed my curl pattern. My curls were not as tight and eventually my hair became very damaged.<br />

So.... I transitioned back to black.... I decided to really take good care of my hair like my mother did and gave myself a challenge to "grow this fro" for one year.... So for one full year (I started on September 15th) I will do no major cutting, just trimming and maybe some shaping. I know this will be a major challenge for me but I am prepared to transition with protective styles and wigs .... so let's see how this goes! See my Hair tab to see my current hair routine and the products I am using! I will also be taking the Mane choice Vitamins! I will be blogging on that experience as well!<br />
<br />
So.... Here is my starting point:<br />

I must admit that one of the things I like most about the fall are fall colors! Bright greens and burnt oranges, frisky reds... love it! With the changing season, other things change also like your clothes, your shoes, your make-up (Can't wait to do a lipstick haul...) and of course your nail polish! <br />
<br />
So I couldn't wait to get out there and see what was new for this season, I promised myself that gone are the days of wearing one designated color for the season... am I the only one that does that???? I mean really with all this variety out there why would I want to be so limited.... Ha... not anymore, take a peek at what I found.<br />

Here I am 44 single, living life, well lets say existing.... I
don't want that anymore! I miss the times that I was care free and
really living!<br />
<br />
I have always known I was different! I
was never a follower, and always liked marching to my own beat! I was
the chick that wore what I wanted, when I wanted and would be different
almost every day. Same went for my hair, I was never afraid to
experiment with anything! I think I have almost done it all lol (still
holding out for the Mohawk).<br />
<br />
One day I realized
something~~~ I had become safe !!!! WHAT ... ME ... when the hell did
that happen???? I started to conform, but I have come to realize that
the person who needs to be comfortable and happy is me!<br />
<br />
Well
that leads me to my journey... back to Lola, who is Lola you might be
asking lol- Lola is me she is my happy me, my bold me, my adventurist
me! and I need to get back to her quick... Sooooooo I started this blog
for those who like me wanted to get back to their Lola (or whom ever
they wish to be) and for those who are simply interested and want to
watch!<br />
<br />
I will be doing new things, traveling to new
places, changing my hair, learning how to apply make-up (never really
liked wearing it nor do I know how to)....trying out different fashions
and so on and so forth lol~~~~ so hold on to your seats, welcome aboard
