Sip Trip Saturday: Getcho Azz Up

I am BACK yall. I tend to isolate and self-soothe to pull myself from the ashes to return bigger and stronger after ruts. I appreciate the love, support and most of all-patience during the ebbs that break my flow from life. I had to remind myself and say...Kisha...WHAT did you say the theme for this year was??? Oh. Ok...Getcho azz up...and let's press forward.

While tip toe-ing back in the game, I wanted to keep it casual. Now yall know myyyy dressed down is still dressed up but as I was tossing on some clothes; I was thinkin...what kinda influencer I wanna be and what message do I wanna convey during my weekend rendevous with coffee? It's quite simple.

As much as I admire alllll of the fashion girlies across my timeline, I enjoy getting dressed for the regular, average, everyday gal like myself. The ones who admire the FW's at home. The ones who can get lost in Vogue while flipping the pages on the couch. The ones who dream of falling into Carrie Bradshaw's closet yet know their not going to work on Monday in a tulle skirt n tshirt.

I think we've gotten so far gone from reality becuz we don't see our everyday people represented in the algorithms wearing professional clothes in the office or how to transition from the office to happy hour. Fast fashion and trends will have you believing there's a one size fits all for any occasion and quite frankly...there's always a time n place. Neither here nor there...that's just a random thought I had this morning.

After enjoying coffee at home for so long, it felt good to get back into the groove of things and get dressed which is always my happy place. I ain't gonna lie...it was hard. With each step I felt like a chain linked to heavy emotions broke off. KEEP GOIN. I knew I'd partake in the #PSL and get back to what I do best-Sip & Pose.

I forced a smile...well...at least a grin and a sniff followed by a few tears paused the game. KEEP GOIN. With every sip, I took a deep breff n exhaled. The more I sat into enjoying the morning and reflecting on these last few weeks, the sun actually came out. KEEP GOIN.

I'm weeping HARD. I'm sad. I'm upset. I'm grieving. I'm coping. I'm grateful. I'm thankful and I'm not gonna quit. With each day I'm allowed to open my eyes I'm gonna walk more than I did a day before. Each stride for the love of them and an extra high five for the love of me. Who would've thunk it...returning to my love for Sip Trips to be so emotional. I'm smiling right now-KEEP GOIN.
