Pinky Promise is...
Ok, So I gotta address this area. In the world of wanting a ton of "likes"-- some women feel the need to dress half naked. Drives me a little nuts. You're SO valued & SO precious to God! You don't have to go showin' all your goodies!! When I graduated from college, I moved to New York started an internship where I worked for free. After awhile, I was FLAT BROKE. I had the opportunity to depend on randoms, but I cut them all of & was determined NOT to ask my family for money. So, I want to share some places to shop that I LOVE and encourage all of you to work with what you got- and keep them goodies hidden til' you get married & share them only with your guy!
1. I LOVE boutiques!!! If you're in New York- you must check out Dor L' Dor-- there's 2 locations in the city. You can always find cute stuff that's one of a kind. Even if your local areas, check out boutiques!
2. I LOVE Ebay! Yes. If I find something cute in a Saks.. or a Anthropologie, Bloomingdales, but I don't wanna spend unnecessary money, I will try it on in the store & order it RIGHT off of Ebay. Get it dry-cleaned when it arrives & I just saved 50%!!
3. I LOVE shopping out of season. Yes, I buy most of my boots in April and my sandals in November. Why? Because the sales are crazy good! Granted, I do purchase shoes in season.. but for the most part, I get a bulk of them out of season. I ain't trying to "blend" in with the next "trend"- I wear what I think is cute in my head lol
4. I LOVE thrifting!! I find SO many cute pieces! Again, get it dry cleaned & work it out!
5. Don't sleep on Target!! lol
6. Tank Tops are your friend. Honestly, I don't have a huge chest. I'm a 34-B. But, even so-- some of my tops are low cut, so i throw on a nude tank top & rock with it so I don't have any cleavage.
7. Bend over. If you can bend over in your skirt or shorts & you cannot see your goodies-- that's a good first step. Yes, I will shorter shorts/skirts on vacation as I'm on the beach, etc-- but I like to keep it limited locally.
8. Know your body type. If you have huge boobies, don't wear things that will "show" them off or give you a ton of cleavage. Leave something to the imagination.
9. Feel like you're dressing boring? Accessories are your FRIEND! I loveeeeeee necklaces, bracelets, belts & rings! It adds SO much to your outfit!
10. Don't like makeup? I don't wear a ton. I do wear concealer, powder, bronzer, mascara & lip stuff! Makeup only ENHANCES your natural beauty! Check out a makeup counter one day & just try it out!
Love you ladies! And pinky promise that you won't post bikini pictures online. :)
Save it for your hubby!

LOOOOOove it! I think you already stated this but if you have to think about wearing something, just take it off! Especially if you are going to church! You never know what a man's weakness is and we are not here to be tempting to them. So always be classy and tasteful. And remember we are Representatives of The KINGDOM!
Let's see:
And yeah make SURE these things are dry cleaned. Another good tip: since some thrift stores (like Goodwill) don't accept their clothes back when you buy them, dress comfortably so that you can try them on before you buy. And just because it looks good on a mannequin doesn't mean it's going to look good on you. Oh and WEAR the right undergarments PLEASE. I'm not exactly small at the top or the bottom, and I KNOW I need all the support I can get! LOL...
