Happy Monday!
So last Friday, I was over the moon excited to go see Oprah speak at her ‘Life You Want Tour’ with Toyota.
The 2 day event provided loads of inspiration and motivation, with talks by Iyanla Vanzant, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Lady O herself.
On Day 1, Mother Oprah took to the stage in a stunning Christian Siriano purple gown, and dished out a ton of advice. I took a few notes:
*The way to success and a happy, fulfilled life is to honor your spirit and your purpose.
*We are responsible for the energy we put out in this space. Whatever you put out is automatically on its way back to you.
*You are the master of your fate, and the captain of your soul.
*Excellence is the best deterrent to racism. Therefore, be excellent. Excellence is the best deterrent to sexism. Therefore, be excellent.
*Set a new way of being for yourself. Every day you wake up is a chance to begin anew.
*Be willing to be obedient to your life’s calling, whatever that may be.
At any rate, I left feeling tremendously uplifted!
I wanted to go for a ‘lady boss’ look to go see my career idol, so slipped on a Preen by Thornton Breggazi hot pink suit (I wore the blazer here) with a Variazoni dress worn as a top.
My infamous Louboutins and Topshop earrings completed the look.
At any rate, the event is a must attend! See when Oprah and co are coming to a town near you at www.oprahweekend.com/events.
Have you attended in your town? What did you think?
*Thanks to Alexis from Toyota!
