I can’t wait to show you how to wear orange as the new neutral! It’s my number five pick for my Pop of Color Closet Challenge. This color represents boldness and beauty, coinciding with a well-known actress that I’m honoring in this post.

First, I hope you and your loved ones are safe and healthy and are doing everything in your power to prevent the spread of coronavirus. I’m sending a big hug and thank you to all the doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals. The police officers, grocery workers, and people that have no choice that are serving their communities. Please be safe and know you’re in my thoughts as well. Remain strong and in the meantime, consider me as a friendly distraction.

Booked And Busy

She’s a friend in many of our heads and has remained booked and busy for over 30 years. In an industry that has a reputation for sidelining mature actresses, this is a monumental accomplishment. I want to be her when I grow up! Angela Bassett was born in New York City, NY. The actress has portrayed some of the most iconic women of our time: Rosa Parks, Coretta Scott King, and Betty Shabazz to name a few. The list is so extensive that I can’t pick a favorite. She’s good in every role. Ms. Bassett finessed her acting chops by receiving a master of fine arts degree from Yale University School of Drama. If that wasn’t enough, she recently received a Doctorate from Yale. Stella got her groove and then some.

Her personal life is short from being a stellar performance as well. Married to fellow actor Courtney B. Vance since 1997 and their twins who were born in 2006. Their commitment to one another is the true definition of black love.

Angela Bassett does not play when she’s on the red carpet! She slays and inspires older and younger women to dress in confidence, owning who they are. Her toned physique is fashion designer’s dream. I must admit that I’ve been trying to attain arms like hers for years. Instead, guess I’ll just keep showing off my legs in these stilettos.

The Right Choice-Orange

I’ve made the right choice with my rust orange stilettos as my go-to neutral heel. Check out my YouTube channel for all my stiletto purchases: Lisa Jefferson. These Courtnee Sandals paired with a wrap skirt and a bodysuit have me feeling a little special. I’m staying home and so should you. Get out of those pajamas and throw on some music and heels. Stay healthy and take all the necessary precautions to limit the spread of Covid-19. Talk to you later.
