Happy Accidents & A New Fashion Blog..

Well I accidentally started a blog. I pushed the wrong button and wrote a short post to the Technical Support team Inge and her wonderful self answered my questions. So here is my short story to a happy accident.

I suffer insomnia so I sleep in shifts as I thought about this happy accident in the middle of the night. I looked at the smooth transition to a "sub-blog". Greg,Inge & Angie have made this wonderfully easy. I've been wanting to do this for some time now. So maybe this was the universe telling me to do so.

If you choose to accept this mission come along with me on my fashion and a glimpse into my thrift, sister circle, work,HOUSE (dancing) life. So accidents can be happy. This is me stepping way outside my box. But , why the heck not? I've been doing that for some time now.

I kind of do a bit of this and a bit of that. I work in Telecommunications but baby! My after work life I volunteer at a thrift Boutique. I go to Summer fest in the Chi, the Go as the young folks say otherwise known as Chicago. I voice and MC Fleek markets (Like a flee market on steroids) in the Chi. I thrift And OP Shop almost everything. In my spare time I like going to the library with my neice on Star Wars Day and dressing up. At this point I try to live my life out loud.
Won't you come go with me on this journey. I don't know where we are going but I'm willing to enjoy and embrace the journey.

I f you have any helpful suggestions please feel free. Thanks Fam.

You absolutely need a blog! You have an amazing voice - I mean written- haven't heard it in really life and are very inspirational.

Momo thank you for the support. I appeared on a local T.V show in Chicago if you want to listen to me . Don't laugh at my voice okay. Well, you can it is pretty high pitched. Here is a link https://www.facebook.com/holly.....033902301/

Sterling I might stumble until I get the hang of it but, thank you.

LOVE!!!!

is that Nat King Cole in pic #13?

My style and yours are pretty much polar opposites....but wait a minute I am loving those Nine West black sneakers in #35...they are in fact exactly what I've been looking for. Will use this pic as inspiration for my search.

Ledonna the Lovely Lady Lives Her Luminous Life Out Loud....

Chris987, Yes that is Nat himself. I was driving home and was at a stoplight. Looked to my left and there he was. Isn't it a beautiful snapshot. I'm still amazed when I see it. It was almost like a dream. The Chi has amazing murals. And 35 is a big old yes! Brand new with tags at the thrift op shop. I was like OH my shut the front door cause they are leather. No matter the difference I love fashion and style. If we were the same How boring would the world be. It makes me itch thinking about it. thank you for the living out loud. Hahahahahaha

Suz thank you homegirl you have me laughing. I don't know about inspiration but I'm on my way to Irise Appfel style hahaha by the time I reach 90 I'm going to just going to be on my motorized scooter with bangles dripping from my arms and big circle glasses.

Bijou

Looking forward to reading your fabulous blog. There is an upside for us with your insomnia, that it brings you onto this forum. You were born to shine in front of the camera - I love pictures 6 and 7, so glamorous. My favourite Iris Apfel quote is "When you don't dress like everyone else you don't have to think like everyone else". You are an inspiration with your unique style.

Bijou there is always an upside to insomnia. I have never be more productive and naps are always good. hahaha

I really enjoy Miss. Apfel and one of my favorite quotes of hers is."The is no how to road map to style. It is about self expression and above all, attitude!"

Angela K

Ledonna--you are fresh and bold and full of life--I enjoy your posts enormously and can't wait to read your blog. As far as Ms. Apfel goes, I watched IRIS this weekend and I so love her! I hope I have her sass when I'm 94! And I can see you with your arms full of bangles and your armadillo bag (as a signature!) As Angie would say: "Rock On!"

Angela K THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can see myself now. I will keep my Miss W Dillo 4 ever and Bangles even if I have to wear sweats for the rest of my life. They will be colorful. hahaha
