My First Blog Post!

So I guess the first question is why am I writing a blog anyway?

I’ve been thinking about writing a blog for a long time now because as I look at the blog landscape I don’t see any that really appeal to me – a forty-something, black, bald, beautiful, fashion forward single, unmarried, politically astute mother and woman.

There are a lot of great blogs out there don’t get me wrong. Several of them touch on many aspects of who I am as a person but NONE of them speak to all of who I am as a woman because as women especially women of color we really aren’t just one thing are we?

Most of the Fashion bloggers are wonderful but the items they feature are usually items I would never wear at this point in my life or the price point (especially on the shoes) are simply outrageous.

Who in the hell can afford $895 pairs of shoes and $2,000 handbags – if your last name doesn’t start with K and end with N or you aren’t being given the items for free (as many of these fashion bloggers are but fail to tell you).

So here is my promise to you – if I feature an item it will be something I bought with my own money and I promise that any shoe that I feature will NOT retail for more than $300 and $300 pairs will very rare. At this point in my life. I’d rather put $300 in my 401k not on my feet. I don’t do designer handbags anymore unless they are vintage or consignment store finds because as a single mom with a child who will be off to college soon I simply cannot justify spending that kind of money on something to hold my lipstick (smile)!

This will not be a blog just about having alopecia and being bald. Neither will it be about being a black single mom (and those challenges) or just about my love of shoes , handbags and bling (especially Stella & Dot). It also just won’t be about my political views.

It will be about ALL OF THOSE THINGS because it will be about me and the things that matter to me.
