I'm feeling a bit better and because of it I went out Thursday night with Afro Style. My plan was to head to Mila & Fire: Art, Fashion & Photography Expo at Lotus Lounge then later on in the evening, ring in my friend and fellow CapFABB-er Jen's birthday.

After we were done, we headed back to the Expo. The turnout was great, music was blasting and lots of creativity flowing. But I don't know if it was because of the drinks I had at Park and knowing I had somewhere to be later on that night but we didn't spend too much time there again.
Got to my sis place, took a nap...which turned into a deep sleep and I woke up too late to celebrate Jen's birthday. Bummer.

Especially since the top blends in so well with my skin tone. I added a punch of color with my
