Good music is like food to the soul. The right amount of ingredients make up the absolute most joyous meals. When you think of some of the best conversations in life, they are often shared over a great meal with loved ones. Well, last night I was fed the most amazing musical feast that anyone could ever imagine.  If you're a reader of my blog, a friend of mine, or have simply met me in passing, then you already know that I do not go crazy over many artists. There are only a few out there that touch my heart in ways in which I believe music was created to do. Last night I was fortunate enough to finally get the opportunity to see KELIS live in Washington, DC.  When I heard that she was going on a U.S tour I knew it was a must that I be in attendance. It would be the first time in my 15 year long following of her that I would get to see her in the flesh. 

I opted for a casual jumpsuit paired with my favorite black blazer, and a blue clutch.

I made sure to arrive at the venue as early as possible to be there when the doors opened. While we waited for Kelis to come out, I met some of the coolest fellow supporters of hers! It felt so great to be surrounded by people who understand the depth of the talent this woman possesses. We all laughed, joked, shared stories, and excitedly couldn't contain the jitters of her arrival.

She final arrives on stage looking ever so flawless, and serving 70's realness in a emerald green sweater paired with sequined, high waisted trousers. Later that night I took it to Instagram to find out who was the responsible party for such a work of art. And I can't say I was shocked to find out that she was the crafts woman behind the masterpiece! 



Sidenote: I adore the fact that no matter how many records sold, concerts booked, or money made she always finds the time to make her fans feel noticed and appreciated. Humility is key. 


Some things are meant to be savored In that very moment. I didn't record every song, or take pictures all throughout the show. I can barely tell you the track listing, because I was in bliss! The performance was nothing less than stellar. All in all, I've attended many concerts of several artists, but this was the best one yet. I'll always prefer a live band, intimate setting, and out of this world vocals over anything else. 

A true dream come true...
