Hello my dearest lovelies! Thanks for stopping by the blog.
This year makes it two years since I migrated from the Caribbean island of Trinidad to the city of Minot, North Dakota in the United States of America. In light thereof, as I reflect upon and reminisce about how my life has developed and changed during those two years, what I can say with absolute certainty is that I have grown quite fond of this lovely, idyllic town that I now call, my second home.
The charm and magnetism of Minot, lies with the genuine warmth and gracious neighborly disposition of the people, a sense of peacefulness and belonging associated with country living and the natural beauty of the landscape harmoniously co-existing with historical buildings and monuments. This enchanting town has therefore successfully incorporated the elements of a contemporary modern society without losing its traditional values and sense of community.
Minot or The Magic City as it is fondly referred to, got its famous moniker because of how quickly the town grew in a short space of time. Since the history of the town is strongly connected to the growth of the railroad construction of the 1800’s , I thought it would be fitting to commemorate my life in Minot by visiting the train station. On this trip, I wore a patterned sheath dress which I layered over a blouse that has a statement collar. I felt that this pairing gave the outfit a rather Parisian chic appearance. Another bonus feature of this dress is that it is fully lined which makes it a great versatile article of clothing for all the seasons. For instance, in my case I used the dress as a transitional layering piece for the fall/ winter months.
For that extra layer of warmth and to protect my self against the wind chill, I wore an ultra chic moto jacket that has faux fur trimmings on the collar. Styling with the moto jacket added a touch of edginess to the otherwise ladylike ensemble. A moto jacket is such a diverse piece because it is timeless and the ways it can be styled is numerous. For instance, it can be paired over a dress or it can be worn with denim jeans. To complete my look and provide balance to my outfit in terms of proportion I wore one of fall’s favorite footwear, a pair of ankle boots.
This concludes this blog post. I hope you all enjoy this post and thank you for reading.
Lots of love,
Salisha
