OOTD> Comfortable Aztec

Hey Everyone! 


Sorry I haven't done an OOTD in a while...I got MARRIED! YAY, so things have been a little hectic. Nevertheless, I took some pics the other day on my patio. 


I purchased these olive green aztec leggings a while ago and didn't wear them until a couple days ago.  I regret that I didn't wear them sooner. They are soooo comfortable!

I paired these leggings with my lace skater dress from evans , a vest from torrid, and my go to torrid boots.  I love my lace dress from  Evans..and ladies...again...I am usually a size 24 and this dress is a size 20...so don't fret if a store doesn't have your size.  If you try it on it may fit!

For my make-up, I used one of my favorite colors for green eyes, called SUMPTUOUS OLIVE from MAC.  It is an olive color but also if used lightly it takes on more of a brown color. I love it.  Lately, the only lipstick I have been wearing is Lady Gaga's Nude lipstick from MAC...obsessed.  

Hope you enjoy!

4 outfits under $100.00

One of the most common misconceptions about plus size clothing is that finding affordable fashionable pieces is next to impossible.  Now more than ever is this not true.  With great stores like Forever 21, finding trendy fashion is no longer a problem.  I have gone through and picked some of my favorite pieces and made four outfit choices for under $100.00!


The Trendsetter: This diva likes to make a statement when she hits the town. Don't be afraid to mix and match.

The Prepster: This girl loves making a statement while being comfortable. She loves schoolgirl fashion with a twist.

The Rocker: Combining spikes, leather, and black are a few of this fashionista's favorite things. Soften this trend up by adding some floral. 

The Boho Chick: Fashion is always effortless for this hippie chick.  She loves long, flowy, loose fitting things. She always has the best separates.

With a bit of imagination, putting together a fabulous outfit is easy.  Check out stores like Forever 21 for a great way to create your wardrobe.

OOTD> East Meets West

As I have mentioned before, I just moved back from Southern California from Boston.  So the other day my wonderful friend Mary Lee was in LA visiting from beantown. I just had went shopping the day before and got some cute new pieces that I got to wear.

OOTD> Sunny Days

Hi All, 


I went to a bbq the other day and decided to wear something comfortable and bohemian.  


I wanted to wear this new dress I bought at Lane Bryant but it was a little too hoochy mama for the bbq, so I wore it as a maxi skirt.  I paired it with an old poncho style shirt I had, my antique necklace and a white bangle.  I don't know how many know this but I have crazy curly hair and I wanted to tame it a bit with a head wrap.  


You can still find the dress at lane bryant. 

Hope you like!

OOTD>The Cher Rue Show and The Curvy Fashionista

On Wednesday (check her out every Wednesday at 6p.m.) I did the Cher Rue show. It was such a blast.  I got to do the show with veteran blogger Marie Denee of the Curvy Fashionista and Mark from Remarkablogger.  The show was about blogging and new trends in blogging.


On top of loving Cher Rue, I got to speak about my new passion of blogging and my lifelong passion for fashion.  I also sat with a blog idol of mine, Marie Denee. She blogs full time and rocks the plus size fashion world.  I hope to follow in her footsteps.  


As usual, I didn't bring my camera, which is ok because I was able to get some pics, thanks to Cher and Marie. 

Outfit 

Dress: Target

Jacket: Lane Bryant (from about 2000)

Leopard Heart: Betsey Johnson

Rings: Torrid

Earrings: DIY

Boots: Torrid

Belt: Torrid

For my outfit, I wore my favorite new trend of mixing patters.  No one would ever really think that leopard and plaid would go together but in my head, it sure did.  My dress was from target and as I said on the show, it isn't a plus size piece.  Ladies, no matter what size you are, just try things on.  You never know what is going to fit.

I did a very basic make-up.  With the lips being the focal point.

Eyebrows: Cork from MAC

For me blogging is a creative outlet.  I was hesitant to post some of these photos because they are not very flattering of me, but at the end of the day...that is me.  Double chin and everything. It is important to me to show FASHION over a size 24. Torrid only goes up to a size 26 and most other places a size 24.  The options for over a size 24 are very limited; however, just because they are limited it doesn't mean it is impossible.  I hope all shapes and sizes follow my blog and get some inspiration from it. <3
