*Thanks Erica! (Hehe, I'll give it back >_> or buy you a new one ^_^)

Okay, so we're staying away from black on rainy days, right? If I had it the way I planned, even my umbrella wouldn't have been black... but I had to draw a line somewhere...

And yes, I said "planned" because when I saw this trench coat, my heart spoke to me. She said, in the sweetest voice I'd ever heard,

"Stephanie, you know she belongs in your closet, right? It'll be a rainy spring, you know? She looks like she's yearning to protect you from getting drenched. That's a nice looking trench!"

And from that point on, I developed the urge to splurge. Usually, I wouldn't have spent as much for anything as I did for this amazing trenchcoat, but, after two wears (and many to come in the future), it was sooooo worth it! (In the comments, take a guess at how much I paid.) And once I purchased it, I started to plan all my future outfits. I'm still looking for the perfect umbrella! I found one on totes but it sold out before I could snatch it up!

I had so much fun taking pictures in the rain! More than I anticipated!


Until next time!

how to wear a midi skirthow to wear a midi skirthow to wear a midi skirt



What I'm Wearing
Necklaces: H&M | Earrings: ALDO | Bracelets: F21 | Blazer: New York & Company
Dress: H&M (worn as top) | Skirt: boohoo.com [want it?] | Flats: DSW [want it?]| Purse: bebe

I love my mini skirts just as much as the next long-legged lady, but lately, I've been showing some love and appreciation for my midis. The length and the silhouette of this particular one is among my favorites. It's so comfortable, chic, and it creates the illusion of a more curvaceous figure; I've been praying for curves my whole life!

A midi skirt, by Chocolate Laced Definition, is any length between your knees and your lower calf. It can be pencil, full, pleated and so forth, but as long as it falls within the aforementioned range, I will consider it a midi—for short. And, although some people may disagree, I think that there is a midi out there for every body type! Remember, when you're reppin' your style, the most important article you could wear is confidence. Confidence can make just about ANYTHING look good. (Message!)

But, keep in mind, if you have:
a boyish, straight or V-shaped figure, a full midi skirt, like the one I have on, will create the illusion of a fuller lower half
an hourglass or pear-shaped figure, a pencil midi skirt will love your curves and slim you down


This was my first shoot in a very long time... so, it took me a little while to get back in my "groove". While choosing which of my pictures to use for this post, I watched as I went from super-de-duper awkward to wannabe superstar. It was amazing to see.

Hello lovelies! I know... I know. I can't just come back as if I didn't disappear for half a year. A LOT has happened in my life since I took my unannounced hiatus, but I am back to blogging. And I'm staying, I'm stay-AY-ing. And you, and you, and YOU... YOU'RE GONNA LOVE MEEEEEEEE! ♪♫

So, here's my long story short, in no particular order, of the past six months:

• I graduated in December with my Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science & Applied Mathematics. Whoot! (Still looking for a job though, so if you know of anything or anyONE, keep me in mind. Please and thank you.)
• I turned 23! I'm getting old. Yikes. However, a lady DID tell me, on that day, that I looked like I was turning 18, so... SCORE!
• I received a promotion at work! Yay! Nothing says maturity and growth like more responsibilities and, not to mention, $$$.
• I got my learner's permit and I've been steadily making strides towards getting my license. The plan is to get it by August.
And last, but most certainly not the least:
• I have added a slew of clothes to my collection... which of course I see as both a good and a bad thing.

And that, ladies and gents, is the summary of my life in the last six months. It was a combination of those events and the tensions that I experienced leading up to them that aided my decision to step back from blogging. However, if there ever is a need for a break from blogging in my future, I'll be sure to inform.

Stay tuned! This outfit post will be up soon.

Happy Sunday!

*edit* Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful and dedicated fathers out there, to the new fathers, and to the fathers who are aiming to be better versions of themselves for the sake of their relationship(s) with their child(ren). */edit*

What I'm Wearing
Head Scarf: old | Jewelry: Assorted
Leather Moto Jacket: H&M (old)
Denim Moto Jacket: Tobi ($30)
Cream Blouse: Old Navy
Blue Midi Skirt: eBay
Gold-Tip Bow Flats: ASOS ($34)
Photos taken on April 25, 2013
My friend Jasmine messaged me a few days before helping me take these and said, "I found the most perfect place to take pictures, but we have to hurry." She told me about how beautiful the flowers blooming looked and I was excited! (She has a good eye, don't you think?) So, we picked this day to go over to shoot.

After taking just seven pictures, my camera's battery died and I had left my backup battery at home. :( But, since the seven that we took look fine, ♪♫♪ I ain't go no worries ♪♫♪!

This spring, I developed a love for layering my leather jacket over any of my denim jackets. I didn't put much thought into it the first time I did it because I was more concerned about not having a light enough jacket that was also warm...so I decided to put on two light jackets. Hey, it worked.

I'm baaaaaaaaaack! (If you'd like, click the inspiration link, and have it play as this post's personal soundtrack. You won't be disappointed.)
It has been a whole two months and, the entire time, I felt like I all my energy was draining from my being. I doubt anyone can truly the extent to which I have missed blogging!

I've been completely swamped with school. (I still have three finals to take, so I'm not completely done YET!) I was taking three programming intensive courses and utilizing three different languages: C, Java, and Assembly. My brain was literally melting and I knew that if I didn't give my studies my FULL attention, I'd have to personally dig the grave to bury my future in. Not something I could say I was looking forward to. So... I took a much needed break and now, 6 days before my birthday, I am here! Back. With outfits I took pictures of in April that I never had time to blog!

I hope you all didn't miss me too much!

Happy Mother's Day
to all the wonderful mommies out there.
We, your daughters, are incredibly happy
to have you in our lives!
