Today, instead of talking about how cute this pajama blazer is (yes it is and it's super comfy, but we'd have to do the OOTD talk another day), I'd like to post this question out into the void to anyone who wants to answer it: is being "too nice" a bad thing?

We all know that saying: "to be great is to be misunderstood". Does that caveat also come for people having too much deference for other people's well-being over their own? 

"Find your tribe. Love them hard" is what that popular Instagram/Tumblr post says. I've had various groups of people I called my "tribe" from the past few years, but they are, of course, thousands of miles away from me, all the way across the Pacific. I started my own blogger family back in the day, and while I still really do love them hard, can't really call them my own.since I'm not there anymore. :( So, what's a girl who moved far, far away from home to do?

Move on, put on a big smile, and try to find a new tribe, of course. Read on after the jump about my meetup experience with the fabulous ladies of Detroit's #FashionBA ! 

Ugh, I missed the schedule of my own Detroit X NYFW post! I mean, when you're close to 30, and a cold kicks you, it kicks you HARD. Needless to say, this is one heck of a catch-up post! Brief recap: I collaborated with my blogger friends Lil Miss JB, Mafia Mel , and Beauty and the Muse for a Detroit x NYFW - themed blogger link up love.  I missed the date on posting my own look, ironically, but here we go. 

Before anything, I would like to thank Scott Mitchell for the awesome photos, edited by moi.

So... I turned 29 last Sunday. Sincerest apologies for a week-long hiatus and for skipping out on the festive fare here on the blog (big birthday announcement! giveaways! maybe next year when I actually hit 3 decades?) - a terrible cold kicked in exactly the morning after my very low-key birthday dinner, and there I was, spending a week feeling like my body has serious hatred towards me, eating nothing but soup and literally doing nothing but watch Empire (how GOOD is that show, though?). I normally freak out when I'm not on the grind, but it felt good to not think about goals and work for a week.

The official shirt design for FashionSpeak 2015. Pretty awesome, right?

This October 15, all roads lead to One Woodward in Detroit for the 3rd annual (and hotly anticipated) Fashionspeak, presented by the Detroit Garment Group - and to top it off, this blogger is part of a select group covering it live!
