I asked what you wanted to see; a recipe or a "working" style book... 61% said style book while the rest of the 39% said recipe. With that being the case, here we go... a working style book from 8/27/2018 - 8/31/2018!
Though my style is transitioning, I'm still not a fashionista so I doubt you'll want to take style tips from me, but I do like to find some pretty cute items for a good price! My favorite places to shop, in general, are: Target, Dry Goods, H&M, Old Navy and Bargain Hunt (if you don't know what that is, it's an overstock store for pretty much everything... 11/10 recommend). All are generally inexpensive, of course you will find pricier items but it's definitely quality without the high end pricing.
**excuse my messy desk and small mirror, I still have yet to find the mirror that I want... smh.. if you know of anywhere that has them without paying an arm and a leg, help a sister out!**

Clothing Though I no longer work at a plastic surgeon's office where the required attire is all black, majority of my closet stays in the black and white tones whether it is for work or for every day. Some items are left over from my previous job but the rest are casual items for my business casual position.

Makeup I have let my lash extensions fall out and am giving my natural lashes a break in order for them to grow back out. You wouldn't think it would change your makeup routing much, but it truly does. This week, I haven't felt my best and did a basic natural look all week. I did change up the looks three of the five days, that is what I will show. **Products not listed, if you want to know any products, I'll be glad to share!... All drugstore**
