Hello everyone I hope you all had a great weekend. I’m actually trying to get over a bad cold/flu that has has attacked my whole family since Wednesday. Have you ever spotted something that had a totally different purpose than what you had in mind for it? Well this is what happened to me. I was perusing the fabric department of my local island Wal-Mart and I came across this lovely bluish-purple, textured printed, awesomeness. I had been wanting to make some “J. Crew inspired cafe capris” and this fabric just seemed to hit the right note. The fabric was sturdy and perfect for the structure I wanted for a matching jacket as well. I was surprised to see that it was less than $3.00 a yard and then I realized it was actually upholstery fabric, that could be used for re-upholstering an arm chair or making drapes. So I am literally wearing the drapes and it only cost me $12. 
On another note, I am still transitioning from my relaxer. Its been six months now and I was very close to relaxing my hair this past weekend. Managing the two textures is becoming quite frustrating and I really was at my breaking point. I was ready to cut it all off or relax it. The hubby doesn’t want me to cut it all at once. So I went to my local beauty supply store with the intentions of purchasing a relaxer and instead I bought hair..lol It’s an invisible part wig that I pushed back a little and put a head band on. I guess whatever helps me get to my end goal. So for a while I’ll be trying different hairstyles as I try to make it to the end of the year, before my big chop. So for this week at least, I am team ‘big hair, don’t care’ and I kind of like it. 
Thank you so much for reading!
