White Winter Lace
Blazer: French Connection UK, Skirt: Forever21, Sweater top: Cheap Monday, Belt: Sanctuary Denim, Tights: Anna Sui
On this blog I’ve worn lace skirts and I’ve worn white skirts, now voila, a white lace skirt! Though it’s a fine winter white piece I think it’ll transition nicely into Spring. A crop top tee and it could take on a totally different vibe, retro 80s and super trendy… Looking forward to that when the weather is right!! The sweater top is the sold-out-like-hot-cakes Cheap Monday corset outlined style sweater.
Lately, I’ve been working with my daughter on a lot of art projects in my spare time. So many new ideas everyday for new things to do. Recently have done some papercraft stuff, handmade cards and helped her today with her first mixed media canvas piece. She’s never worked with acrylic paints and today she did just that plus painted some woodwork. I am working on a piece on wood, too. I love working with wood canvases, it is by far my favorite and it’s been a while. Entries on all these projects soon!
Can’t believe it’s already the end of January. Lots of events to attend in February I am so excited. Quite a few mommy and me fieldtrips again plus I have a Johns Hopkins graduate school (SAIS) fundraiser I’ll be attending as well as my first Silk Road Society function — a tour of the Freer Sackler vaults. Literary-wise, I just got tickets to see Amiri Baraka (wowowow!!!!) at Bohemian Caverns. What a once in a lifetime opportunity, one of the last of the living beatniks. He was a real favorite of many of my professors in graduate school and I’ve heard recordings of his spoken word before so I am very excited to see him in person. He is to be accompanied by some jazz musicians too, awesome! If and whenever I go into the city I’m always on U St. or Chinatown. The gentrification which has taken over since I left for Los Angeles is crazy but I’ll always be a big fan of the Corridor and will support the jazz and as many black-owned business which still exist.
