Greetings Fashion Pad Readers,
How was your weekend? I hope you all a fab one! I actually worked for the majority of mine, but I still was able to get out and party with friends. For my girl's b-day, me and the homie D hit up a huge club downtown to join her and her peeps for a little celebration........but we barely made it. Foremost, it took forever for me to shake off the "old woman" syndrome and drag myself up to start getting ready. It's crazy, but I started getting ready a mere 30 minutes before I left to scoop up my friend. SMH. Then, when we got downtown, we had no idea where the heck the club was and folks were too drunk....or just plain scary looking to ask/answer our questions. After using up the majority of our "heel time" (you know, the time it takes for your feet to hurt), we finally found it.
But let me reveal something to you all.....I had a serious "ah hah" moment. To clarify, I realized that I'm a grown behind woman and I can't do the club thing anymore. This was confirmed by several events in the club. 1.) When we walked in, the smoke from ciggys, blunts, etc nearly created a "high" in me. 2.) Almost everyone looked like they could be my student. 3.) My ears began ringing after being in the club for only about 10 minutes. 4.) I was traumatized by the scantily clad women grinding super hard on dudes....and each other. 5.) I didn't recognize over half the music being played. It's inevitable that we all will reach this point in our life, and trust me when I say I'm so not mad I'm here.....as a matter of fact, I'm relieved!
Now, with that relevation shared........on to the fashion. I pulled out this lovely leopard dress that I haven't shown much love to at all.

I was trying to go with an understated sexy look....remember it only took me 30 minutes to get ready, I couldn't do more, lol.
I have such a polygamist love for my shoes......I'm deeply attracted to all of them ;-)

See the reason you gave are the very reason I was NEVER ever, ever, ever into going to clubs. I just don't do crowded places all that well, lol!! Then when you start mixing drinking and people getting high with that, OH MY it's scary to me!! If I go to any type of "club" it's to celebrate something with a friend and that is usually to a more mature club (yeah an old folks club) where we can dance to music I know (good oldies), chill and have a couple of drinks. Other than that clubs are a NO for me!! Shoot we can go to a Tapas Bar a nice Lounge, but a club, naaaaa I'm good!!

Love the recap of events. You have to try a few 30 + spots because if it isn't that, I can't hang either.
You look great! Love the outfit. Sexy!!

Thank you for your message, I hope I will feel like Christmas soon.
I'm still young, & I've been to the club once!
I havent been to a freakin partyy in forever because I'm too picky abt stuff & i get irritated.
