Today all I could think about were my travels to New York City. It's my hometown but I do not currently reside there. While I am there one of the things I will be doing is closing some chapters. See I have been estranged from some of my father's side of the family for a long time. Part of growing older and wiser means closing chapters and accepting that you can't change others actions but you can definitely change yours. Every family has drama and mine stems deep into my roots and the things that leave us questioning where we really come from and who we are. I had to find strength to be able to move past certain things. I found the great things in them and realized the past is better left in the past. I am stronger today because my fast motivated a better future. I look forward to seeing my great grandfather (my deceased fathers dad). I look forward to letting who I am today motivate them to see that I am a success in my own rite and that I accept them for who they are as they will accept me for who I am.
But moving on truth be told all of this drama, travels and work leaves you exhausted and in need for comfort to get through it all. I began searching for a comfortable outfit that would bring me style and a killer look that made you know exactly the kind of strength I had. It may sound silly that a piece of clothing can do so much but it can. Today I found my inner prowess in a set of amazing dark black tights, a now wait for it...yes a Walmart Cheetah print Tunic from Tina Knowles, amazing copper earrings and a faux leather brown jacket.
I won't show you all of the look today until I sport it tomorrow then you can get the full effect. But know this it sounds strange but this piece of clothing, this cheetah print tunic was loose fitting yet body hugging on the hips. The print on the shirt was larger on top and became smaller as it cascades down the front. Now animal print is tricky which is why I didn't purchase the white one you see here I purchased the exact same one in black with the cheetah design in a golden copper color.
Whatever it is that makes you find your inner prowess to conquer turning 30 (like me) or closing chapters in your life, mending broken bridges find it and hold onto it. Even if it is finding comfort and a home in Fashion. No matter what it is it may give you an inner strength you never knew existed and most of all it will help you move on and feel great while doing so.
