Every woman will love this poem – even if you have read it before, let’s read it once again. It is a toast to strong women :). And here’s a more semi formal airport look – with a pinstriped blouse – when you have business to take care of as soon as you land!
A Woman Should Have – Not by Maya Angelou
And here’s to all strong women…a lovely poem to live by. I can relate to almost 90% of this. I am happy to tick off many things mentioned here and working on many more of them.
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
Enough money within her control to move out…And rent a place of her own even if she never wants to or needs to…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
Something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to See Her in an hour…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …
A youth she’s content to leave behind….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
A past juicy enough that she’s looking forward to retelling it in her Old Age….
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE .
A set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
One friend who always makes her laugh…And one Who lets her cry…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
A good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her Family…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
Eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, And a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel Honored…
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….
A feeling of control over her destiny…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
How to fall in love without losing herself..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
HOW TO QUIT A JOB, BREAK UP WITH A LOVER, AND CONFRONT A FRIEND WITHOUT RUINING THE FRIENDSHIP…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
When to try harder…And WHEN TO WALK AWAY…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
That she can’t change the length of her calves, The width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
That her childhood may not have been perfect…But it’s over…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
What she would and wouldn’t do for love or more…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
How to live alone…Even if she doesn’t like it…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
Whom she can trust, Whom she can’t, And why she shouldn’t take it personally…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
Where to go…Be it to her best friend’s kitchen table…Or a charming inn in the woods…When her soul needs soothing…
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW…
What she can and can’t accomplish in a day…A month…And a year…
You must have read it on social media or found it forwarded to you on WhatsApp attributing it to everyone’s favorite write Maya Angelou. But our favorite author tells us it is wrongly done and that she is not the author of this lovely piece. It is, in fact, written by Pamela Redmond Satran.
A Semi formal Airport Outfit
Perfect for when you are meeting someone right after your flight lands. You can carry a change of shoes or lowers if your meeting is much more formal in nature. For me, just a hint of formal in my top was enough. The treggings and the sport shoes did well for my kind of meeting, I even added a fun pop of color to my nails 🙂
I love this blouse that I am wearing! The pinstriping gives it a formal look but there are other details that make it lovelier. I cannot choose a dull piece of clothing ever! There always have to be some details. his one has, in addition to the ‘petal sleeves’, a lot of eyelet embroidery around the should and back of the neck. You will get a glimpse in this closer picture of the top.
What I Am Wearing
Pinstripe Blouse – SHEIN
Black Treggings – ONLY
Shoes – FILA
Tote: GUESS
Shades – ALDO
