Office Chic: New York & Company NY@Work Collection

On this blog I try to cover all aspects fashion and now that I am moving into a new direction professionally I need to take my style up another notch. So for this new feature I will focus mainly on professional attire for those who work in fields that are a little more restricting when it comes to fashion. Although I am a teacher and in public schools there is no dress code, I think some people are a little too relaxed. I even make my students dress up for presentations to get them ready for interviews, college fairs, and the professional world in general. I am in professional attire Monday-Thursday and Friday is my casual day. So I would dress up a pair of my jeans. This year I have been revamping my professional attire and one of the first places that I went to transform my wardrobe was New York and Company. I would shop at NY and Company occasionally, but I am in there quite … [Read More...]

Motivation Monday: How to Achieve Balance in Your Life (Life Update)

I guess in this post I will tell you what I have been up to and why I haven't been up to since I haven't been blogging as consistently as I was previously. January of this year I set certain goals pertaining to this blog, my career in fashion, and the overall brand of Her Goody Bag. Of course God had a different plan for me and I wasn't sure if I was ready to accept it. Many of you know that I am a teacher and have a sincere passion for educating today's youth. Things in education reform across the country have people wanting to "jump ship" and pursue a career where they will make more money, have less stress, and be respected. Well I felt like "jumping ship" plenty of times and it wasn't the summers off that made me stay. After I set my goals for the HGB brand in January, God quickly changed the direction of the path that I was taken. Late January I found out about a Masters Program at … [Read More...]

Style Files: Kerry Washington, Jennifer Hudson, Angela Simmons and More!

I love Jennifer Hudson's 3/4 sleeve midi bodycon dress. She paired the dress with a wine lip and peep-toe booties. This is definitely a look I would wear for dinner and dancing or a date night with the boo. Angela Simmons is always fly. Even though the look is simple because it is a pair of leggings and some fierce heels, I love the pop of color with the bag and the draped jacket. The smokey eye completes this look. I would wear this out with the boo or for a fierce ladies night look. Here we have the battle of the prints with Rachel Roy and Kerry Washington. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE prints and I love how Rachel Roy mixed prints with denim and ankle strap pumps. I suck at mixing prints but this is effortless. I would wear this to brunch with the girls. Kerry Washington is always on point. This look is classic, modern, sophisticated, and chic. I mean she can do no wrong! I would wear … [Read More...]
