My First YOUTUBE Video!

HAPPY TUESDAY TO ALL OF MY POCKETTES,



Today is the day that I am celebrating losing my virginity! HA! My YOUTUBE cherry has officially been popped so of course I had to share!!



 CHECK ME OUT AND PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!


But First...



MY SHORT POCKET STORY:



I started this journey of self discovery waaaay back in 2012, shortly after I had my AMAZING son! After what may have been a slight case of Postpartum I hired a Life Coach! YES, that happened. Don't Judge, To date, she is the best investment I've ever made but we'll talk about life ish later!



Ok on to POCKETS…



My life coach asked me what made me happy and POCKETS made the list! In fact it was the only thing on the damn list : /



Fast Forward to NOW..

I own an on-line boutique called POCKETT (Pocket spelled with one T was already taken) and the rest was history!!


So why YOUTUBE and why NOW?




Reason #1: I'm Facing my Fears in 2015:



Honestly, it's one of the biggest fears I've had to over come this year (we'll talk fears at a later date) Being in front of the camera Freaks Me OUT! So here's to my first attempt to KICKING FEARS ASS by making my First youtube video!



Reason #2: I've been talking to myself sense I was little girl! Time to share my random ass views with the world!



That's right, I would lock myself in a bathroom and imagine myself on all sorts of Talk shows! At the time it was all about Rick Lake! Loved Her! I have always had an interesting way of viewing things in life. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD buuuut I've suffered from billions of thoughts in at one time for most of my life! YouTube has been a GOD sent when



Reason #3: A platform to share my views on Fashion & Style!



So Fashion became of interest to me in 2000, my senior year in high school! My sister went off to college and this was the first time I experienced a life with out my better half! As scary as being alone was for me, as much as I hated the idea, it was time to find my own way and I did that through my personal style and designing. This was a completely unexpected interest for most of my friends and family because I had a built a brand as the Girl who didn't give a F-U-C-K about my appearance! I prided myself on rolling my black ass out of bed and into the world that I thought was created to kiss it! ( I had major issues y'all, just sayin)



Fast Forward to today…..



I still have issues but my interest in Fashion has helped my own personal style evolved into unique expression all it's own! It's effortless and it works for me!



Reason #4: MY POCKET POINT OF VIEW



TRUST ME IT'S RANDOMLY INTERESTING AND SOOOO LEFT FIELD YOU GUYS MIGHT ACTUALLY LIKE IT!



Reason #5: IT'S VERY THERAPEUTIC



Let's be clear I have issues and I have A LOT on my mind! I refuse to keep it bottled up PLUS I love FEEDBACK,  so bring it on! It's how I grow!



SO AS YOU VIEW MY VID PLEASE KNOW THAT USEFUL COMMENTS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED!! 





HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS! THERE'S MORE TO COME! TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE I'M OPEN!

GIVE IT A THUMBS UP,  SUBSCRIBE, AND SHARE!!



PEACE OUT PEOPLE!

Boss Lady Chic!




We just adore this look! This perfect floral dress is so flattering and perfect for the summer. We paired it with a simple nude belt to accentuate the waistline giving off a sexy yet chic look for any body type. Being that the floral pattern is already enough prints for one look, we carefully accessorized this look with something our "Tri- me" Teal earrings and single strapped nude heels, sets this outfit off perfectly without being too loud. 

Take this look with you to the office, a lunch date, or brunch. It's perfect for any occasion. You'll be the woman everyone will ask that infamous question "Where did you get your dress?" And you'll confidently reply "I shop Pockett"  because although they are going to find some unique pieces on our site they won't find yours! Ha! #VINTAGE


Boots and Dukes!




One of the many things we at Pockett love about fashion, is that you're free to do whatever the heck you want. With this outfit we did just that! With this look we paired a delicate white sweater that just has the most amazing detail throughout, with good old fashion daisy dukes! To top it off what I like to call the crazy boots! These boots have the coolest slouch ever and are super comfortable! We finished the look with a classic fedora and gold Michael Kors watch. The perfect look for any casual occasion. 

Love this look? 

Grab our  "COMFY COZY" sweater and some vintage earrings from www.pockettboutique.com 

Boots: Steve Madden "Troopa"

Hat: ShopBeyondB.com
