Two Ways to Style One Summer Dress
What’s our favorite summer garment? The Halter Dress! (Or maybe it’s just my favorite.) The halter dress can be as casual, dressy, or as sexy as you want it to be. The halter dress can be your summertime go-to piece and it can also be your go-to layering piece in cooler weather. The halter dress can be worn with flats
If You’re Bored, This Is and Isn’t for You
I don’t get bored people. Bored is not the same as taking a break to breath and to be present. If you planned to take a break and you say you’re bored, you’ve missed the whole point of your break time. To plan to take a break from work, your business, and all other ins and outs of life means
For Singlepreneurs Only
I love listening to a good podcast or reading a book about people who started businesses from nothing. They had no venture capitalists and no bank loans because of their personal credit was too shitty to get one (hand raised!). These owners candidly share their late nights and early mornings business building binge tales. You become lit up even more
Inspirational Happy Hour: Dreams Are For Adults Too
Before you roll your eyes and tell yourself, “Here’s another one of those bullshit, fluff, cliché talks about dreams.” First, if that were your first thought, check your energy; that could be the reason you’re not living the life you want. Second, I don’t do clichés. Now back to the post. I have heard this phrase so often: “I
Trusting Your Resilience Will Turn You into a Superhero
So, what are you panicked and worried about? You’ve been here before. You’re no rookie at making tough decisions. You’ve been in a place where you had to plan even though you didn’t know every single step. Your only assurance in the making the decision is that you knew it was the right one for you. You’ve started a business.
Timing Isn’t Perfect, It’s Just Time
So, I’ve done research and nowhere on my calendar do I see “Perfect” as one of the 12 months. As far as I know, “Perfect” is not a year either. I spent countless hours listing all the reasons to avoid starting a business, blog, and doing anything that filled my soul. Bills, too many bills, Student loans, too many student loans,
Some Down-time Fun
I’ve been focused on what I can do; not what I can’t do during this time. I’ve thought about those things that I said I wanted to do more of back in February of 2020! Here’s a list of my fun: ~Writing: Not for a blog, email, or a proposal, just writing for the sake of writing. I’ve written poems
Feelings About Feelings
Picture this: You are out to dinner with a group of people enjoying good food and light conversation. You hear someone say something offensive about and to someone you care about. You find it strange that no one at the table responded, but you don’t either. You decide to “just let it go.” Months later, you find yourself talking about
An Inspirational Shot: You Are Still Limitless
This post is for you who longs to fulfill your purpose. This post is for you who holds a life vision that seems too big. This is for you if you’re still waiting for the perfect time or for a sign to tell you to move. This post is for you if you’re still stuck in the planning process. This
Mixing Business With…. Fashion!
Warning: This post is different than what we usually “chat” about. Over the past month, I’ve been receiving suggestions, unsolicited that is, on how I could spend my time. “I thought you would be doing what everyone else is doing, selling masks, they are selling them for $10 a pop.” “Why don’t you call government agencies to see how you
Hail to the Almighty Skirt
Have you read “Don’t Let the Split Fool You” yet? This was a recent post I did on ways to style skirts and how we all need at least one in our closet. If you haven’t, check that post out before reading this one. Here’s another post homage to the almighty skirt. I photographed the same skirt from the previous
A Spin On the Classic Halter
I wrote a post about the classic, flared halter dress. If you haven’t had a chance to read that post, it’s called “Give That Classic Your Flare”. Click here to read that post: http://tamuinc.com/happy-hour-style-session-give-that-classic-your-flare/ Now you’re ready for this spin. In a soft, breathable, stretch fabric, the halter dress can be another easy pull-on fit. The halter dress pictured below is
Don’t Let the Split Fool You!
The Almighty Skirt! The skirt has to be the most versatile piece of women’s apparel ever known! A little dramatic? Yes! For good reason and here’s why: a skirt can be worn in any setting and I mean any setting! A skirt can be worn to work, parties, happy hours, weddings, funerals, on airplanes, on vacation, shopping; a skirt can
Pina Coladas and CoverUps
What do you call the dress that makes you feel like you need a beach bag in one hand and a pina colada with the little umbrella in the other hand? The easy “pull-on-pull-off” tube top dress. The tube top dress can be your weekend or weekday “time to play” dress. The tube top dress is also a simple one
You Can Love Your Age & Hate Gray Hair!
Just because I don’t embrace gray hair does not mean I don’t embrace my age. I am 43. I have no problem saying it. I celebrate it. I know some that don’t like to tell their age. I’ve even listened to people explain why they stopped celebrating their birthday after they “hit 35”. What the hell? I will never understand that one.
What Are You Doing For Downtime Fun?
I’ve been focused on what I can do; not what I can’t do during this time. I’ve thought about those things that I said I wanted to do more of back in February of 2020! Here’s a list of my fun: ~Writing: Not for a blog, email, or a proposal, just writing for the sake of writing. I’ve written poems
A Story While You Sip On Your Quarantini
I had a conversation with someone I respect a great deal. Their usual choice for entertainment is CNN, MSNBC, and any other news station. I was told that I needed to watch more news, specifically CNN. I was also told that since I don’t put on a mask when I go walking or when I go get groceries, that I was not
Why Can’t People Sit Down?
We evaluate life at the beginning of a new year, the end of a year, and on birthdays. I feel self-evaluation is like showering: it’s a daily necessity. Why? Self-evaluation is a part of mental health. It’s paying attention to what we are telling ourselves, paying attention to our initial thoughts, and making sure that how we are living our
Kick Down Your Door in A Dress
When you get ready to burst through your walls like Hancock or simply open your doors again, do it in a raglan dress. Why? The raglan dress is an easy, free flowing, relaxed fit dress. What is a raglan dress anyway? The term raglan comes from the way the sleeve is designed. The sleeve is over sized, which causes a
You Can Enjoy Your Break & Not Feel Bad About It
There are messages out there that scream, “If you don’t take this time to be productive, then you are wasting it!” “Now is the time to do all the things you said you didn’t have time for!” “Now is the time to connect with people in your life.” “Now is the time to start that business.” “Now is the time to make
