hey girl hey um happy New Year melik
0:12
Maka happy K Quanza all of that fun
0:14
stuff right it's been a minute since
0:15
I've done a video and I'm coming back
0:18
and I'm here and I've got a great team
0:20
to help me and it's a new year so today
0:24
I wanted to talk a little bit about um
0:27
five things that I want want to work on
0:30
for 2017 so for 2017 my theme is walk in
0:35
it right I don't know if you checked out
0:38
my latest blog post about it but instead
0:40
of resolutions I've given myself a theme
0:44
walk in it walk in it means like you
0:46
know owning who you are standing
0:48
confident being confident taking those
0:51
actions in confidence and kind of
0:54
pushing myself outside of my comfort
0:56
zone in more than a few ways so for me
0:59
I've noticed that a lot of times I tend
1:01
to feel more comfortable in the backside
1:04
of things and not so much talk about
1:06
myself or open up a little bit more or
1:09
um engage I kind of liked putting other
1:11
people on the spotlight so with that
1:14
like there's going to be a lot more that
1:15
you're going to see from me but
1:18
especially in my own journey and fashion
1:21
like it would I'd be lying to you
1:23
telling you that it's so easy to wear a
1:26
crop top or it's so easy to a lot of
1:29
times it is is just sometimes playing
1:31
around and doing it and this outfit is
1:34
an
1:35
example this outfit I scored from um
1:39
shout out to blogger Nikki free I went
1:41
to her sipping shop and she had this
1:44
outfit from um zeli for she I had seen
1:47
it on the girl and I totally slept on
1:49
this outfit I mean hello how fun is this
1:52
it's like a a v crop and it comes down
1:55
lower so that your Lon house your Gita
1:58
is like covered well for me it is
1:59
anyways you know I can cover it and then
2:02
it you know kind of does the same thing
2:03
in the back I'm like hey boo and then um
2:07
it's really comfortable I've always
2:09
loved the whole monochromatic look and
2:11
then you know I kind of paired it with
2:13
like a nude metallic
2:15
shoe boom so anyways like you know was
2:19
something different um kind of stepping
2:21
out of my zone and so I wanted to share
2:22
with you a couple of things that I'm
2:24
doing to kind of walk in it this year
2:27
kind of push myself out of my comfort
2:29
zone and with that being said let me
2:32
show you um one of the first things for
2:35
me is like trying new Silhouettes being
2:38
a little bit more Bolder having a lot
2:39
more fun with fashion so for me first
2:42
thing I'm going to show you and it's I'm
2:44
completely mind- blown
2:47
so this okay so this one how many of
2:51
y'all know that Nicki Minaj has a
2:54
closing line at Kmart and it's done in
2:57
Plus
2:57
Sizes I'll wait did you know that cuz I
3:01
sure didn't know that and I went to
3:02
Kmart this holiday season and yo I found
3:07
this share number and I was like ooh I
3:11
got to have it right and so I tried this
3:15
on and this dress hugs like the curves
3:20
nicely but it's Uber comfortable cuz
3:22
it's very lightweight but it's a lot of
3:26
fun so with that like I'm all okay I'll
3:29
give it a whirl I normally probably
3:30
wouldn't have worn something like this I
3:32
probably would just been like o it's
3:33
really pretty and would have loved to
3:35
seen it on someone else but I'm like Mar
3:38
go for it stop being a chicken and just
3:40
put it on kind of want to play with a
3:42
little bit more is bodysuits I love the
3:46
look of a bodysuits very clean line and
3:48
then you pair with jeans a midi skirt a
3:51
big tutu um there are so many different
3:53
options and um there's a couple of
3:56
different brands that I found I actually
3:58
collect them but I never wear them and
4:01
I'm like Marie why don't you wear them
4:02
it's kind of like for me I just kind of
4:04
like love looking at it but then I get a
4:06
little nervous I mean how many times
4:07
have you bought something and you're
4:09
like I love it but I don't know like you
4:12
need to you need to get it try it on and
4:14
own it so with that being said I have a
4:17
couple I got one here from curvy sense I
4:20
got another one here from Fashion To
4:22
Figure I mean I'm telling you I really
4:24
do collect these and then I just never
4:25
wear them it's kind of sad so I have to
4:28
actually get into into it I have to get
4:31
into it and and suck it up and stop
4:33
being
4:34
scared so I think because it requires me
4:37
to wear separates and I'm usually more
4:39
comfortable like in a one piece or a
4:40
dress so I have to think more about how
4:43
I'm going to wear something what I'm
4:45
going to wear with like this right here
4:47
is easy right it's like a dress but it's
4:49
got two pieces and it's it matches and
4:51
it's a set boom it's easy for me anyways
4:55
so the next thing about Silhouettes that
4:57
I definitely want to play around with is
5:01
unique fun maxi dresses and stuff
5:05
so I got this here from um Nikki free um
5:10
I went to her sipping shop had a lot of
5:12
fun this dress is by Cherry Blossom
5:16
dress um on Etsy and this actually sits
5:19
off the shoulder and she wore it in this
5:23
white version like last year or
5:25
something and I do love a good summer
5:27
dress I do love a good Max
5:30
and off the shoulders even better so
5:34
like this is something that I probably
5:36
normally wouldn't initially gravitate to
5:38
but as I was like in her shop I kept
5:41
coming back to this sucker I was like
5:44
I'm going be mad if I leave without her
5:47
and so I'm glad that I didn't She's mine
5:50
and she's Uber
5:52
long I mean heels and she's still
5:54
grazing the floor holler I'm 5'8 but
5:58
with these heels probably like 510 and 1
6:01
halfish so you know work it so these are
6:05
Silhouettes I want to try in addition to
6:08
Silhouettes I need to play around with
6:10
some more accessories I do love my rings
6:12
I don't have any on right now but I
6:14
wanted to play with something different
6:16
so in addition to metallic accessories
6:21
playful shoes I also want to kind of
6:24
have a lot more fun with my clutches
6:27
this
6:28
clutch it's so much fun this one's by
6:31
Camaro debor and she's an indie designer
6:34
out of New York and she has like really
6:37
ornate design she's got fur trimmed
6:40
clutches she's got really un uniquely
6:42
shaped and adorned like hello green and
6:46
marble and black like this is like so
6:50
substantial and I'm loving this cuz it's
6:52
so
6:54
unique right I mean it becomes a
6:56
statement piece so something like this I
6:58
definitely want to kind of give intoing
7:00
more of and having a lot more fun with
7:03
rather than just using it for the
7:04
utility of being a bag I also want to
7:07
make sure that I'm also having a lot
7:08
more fun with these with these choices
7:11
so with that being said the last thing
7:14
that I want to do um kind of consume
7:18
more information that's really positive
7:21
inspiring motivating um and challenging
7:24
right I'm really focused on internal and
7:26
um external growth and so with that
7:29
being said there's this book called
7:31
self-made by Nelly Galan and let me tell
7:34
you
7:35
something this woman is
7:40
amazing like I heard her speak at
7:43
blogalicious last year and she had two
7:47
points that just sucker punched me first
7:51
one in order to be chosen you have to
7:54
choose yourself first H she was like you
7:57
know forget uh Prince Charming you got
8:00
to choose yourself first I was like huh
8:03
I mean you hear about it but the way she
8:05
said it with such conviction and such
8:07
matter fness I was like
8:10
damn like that hit me here right and
8:13
then her second one was don't buy shoes
8:16
buy
8:18
buildings now if you don't know who this
8:21
woman is like she's like uber boss lady
8:24
she kind of went Head To Toe with you
8:27
know the number uh number 45 I won't say
8:30
his name and she like is no stranger to
8:34
uh business like she owns multiple
8:36
properties she's on the entertainment
8:38
side of things like she's just like an
8:40
amazing businesswoman and I had to get
8:42
her book and um it says becoming
8:45
empowered self-reliant and rich in every
8:48
way self-made I'll have the link in the
8:52
post and have all the details but I've
8:54
already started and I'm just feeling so
8:57
inspired and like hyped and ready ready
9:01

9:03
so those are the five things that I am
9:07
kind of like working towards wanting to
9:09

9:27
your best you right for yourself and for
9:30

9:35
life not just standing up here as
9:38
nervous as sometimes I am in front of
9:40
you guys or wearing something that's
9:43
showing more tummy than I'm used to or
9:46
um actually challenging myself with the
9:48
brand with the blog with the business or
9:51
you know interacting and opening up of
9:53
myself more to people like that's a
9:55
challenge for me sometimes I'm so used
9:57
