From the Her Goody Bag family to yours, we want to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Enjoy this time with family, friends, and most importantly FOOD!

So this is just a quick post to show how a few of my looks from Thanksgiving and the weekend. I spent Thursday at my cousin’s house like I’ve been doing since I was a baby. I wore a cream puff sleeved shirt, winter shorts, burgundy knit vest, brown tights, and brown boots on Thanksgiving. I originally wanted to wear my sweater dress, but I chose not too and went with the shorts instead.

My sister wore a black sweater dress, fishnet tights and black boots.

A few family photos (that’s my mom in the middle, cousin up top, and niece at the bottom)

Friday night my alma mater (Lincoln University) and the National Pan-Hellenic Council (Divine 9 Black Greek Organizations) sponsored a toy/book drive and bowling party. I went just to socialize, see a few familiar faces and my sorors and frat brothers, definitely not to bowl lol. So I wore a black sweater dress, leopard tights, black riding boots, and a teal cardigan to make the dress more casual.

Oh and I did my faux-natural hairstyle and everyone loves it! I only do this hairstyle when I don’t feel like going to the hair salon. It is a little difficult to maintain because my waves/curls drop quickly, but I’ll figure out a way to keep this do with as little maintenance as possible.

Yesterday, October 17, 2010 was the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. I have been participating in this walk for the past 10+ plus years. I try to walk every year (with the exception of when Iwas away at school and couldn’t get home) with my mom because her mother (my grandmother) died from breast cancer when she was  12. It is always a reflective time because I never got a chance to meet my grandmother and I’ve always imagined how things would be if this disease did not take her life.

Well yesterday the three stooges (myself, my mom, and my cousin) participated in the walk in Brooklyn at Prospect Park. This was the first time I walked in Brooklyn, usually we walk in Manhattan, but we decided to switch it up this year…needless to say we will be walking in Manhattan next year lol.

Here are some photos of the walk yesterday
