Rainy Daze

This past Saturday, the Washington Redskins (NFL) Cheerleaders held tryouts at FedEx Field. I had the honor of being a judge. A lot of people don't know, but I cheered for one measly year of my life. People look at my physique and assume I'm athletic and must have played a sport, but nope, the most I did was cheer (aside from karate for a few years when I was little). I think this one year is the reason I have such respect for cheerleaders and the sport. Now NFL cheering seems more like some type of dance to me and does not seem as intense or physical as say, high school or college cheering. However, I took my job as a judge quite seriously. 

The outfit I chose to wear to the judging was a last minute decision. I opted for a cute, fun and flirty look and was on my way out of the door for a mini photo shoot before heading to the Stadium. The rain had something else in mind... SO it turned into a few quick pics at home, lol.

Major Stack-age (hashtag NEW RULES)

It has to have been at least a year ago when stacking rings became the fad. Unlike many things, I hope that this one is here to stay. I have been wanting midi rings for months and months, but everyone was charging more than I was willing to pay. The way I look at it is, if I don't even wear jewelry aside from earrings, why on earth would I sell a finger to get a ring. Of course solid gold, luxurious diamond rings sound great, but when they're going to sit on my night stand only to collect dust and tarnish, eh I'll pass. After saying all of this, you must understand my excitement when I was shopping in H&M for some last minute pieces to take with me to Paris, and I see a pack of these rings for about 8 bucks.

Wild Hair for the Wild Thing

I had a fun night out planned and I wanted an equally fun outfit. First things first....what to do with this hair?

I decided to wing it and channel my inner Chaka Khan. Hair out of the way, now on to the outfit. I was super excited to FINALLY get to wear an embellished crop sweater I had been saving for more than a few months. It needed to be the right amount of cool outside, but still warm enough to have skin showing. I paired it with basic black cotton leggings and a pair of purple combat boots I got a couple years ago. Outfit complete? Not quite yet.

This cream moto jacket I scored a couple years ago sealed the deal. As much as I love "all black erythang" I need a contrasting color to go with my slight pop of color. It also gave me a chance to wear one of my favorite jackets for probably the third time ever. OUTFIT COMPLETE. Check out the outfit details over TheMoniqueMichelle.com/fashion
