Grungy, Edgy and Chic

This look is something I decided to wear on a whim! I thoroughly enjoyed wearing this outfit.  Loved the grungy, edgy chic vibe I felt when I put it on and glammed up my face.  I received so many compliments when I showcased this.  I've been stuck on cinching my waist lately and wearing belts is the perfect way to do so.  This long line cardigan was just waiting there patiently for me in Ross Dress for Less.  Costing me only $10, I snatched this baby up real quick!  Yeees, I am always on the look out for a great deal.


Not only am I a plus size fashionista, I am also short.  5' 5" to be exact....the struggle!!  I loved this cardigan so much and I didn't care that the length was long.  Like really long...I thought, oh well, let's add a belt and see what we come up with.  Belting this cardigan created an illusion of a taller silhouette for me.  


Are you guys SICK of this bag yet?  Lol...I LOVE it obviously, because I've carried it with every possible outfit imaginable. I carried it hereherehere and here.  Yep, it's pretty safe to say I love me some fringe.


Let's talk about these fabulous camo pants!! Ahh, are they not the cutest??  I used these as the base to build my outfit.  I knew this cardigan would complete my ensemble.  The oxblood compliments the black, olive and tan tones in the pants.  


Lastly, these boots... Ladies, I have the absolute largest calves imaginable on a short frame.  I can not stress enough my excitement for finally finding affordable boots to fit my 19+ inch calves.  I purchased these boots online at Avenue, during their Black Friday sale.  I was able to get this pair and these for under $80!  If you have large calves and you're looking for a nice pair of boots, that won't break the bank, I highly recommend trying Avenue.  You won't be disappointed.

  10. This looks fantastic and I'm really loving the belted cardigan and also love the burgundy with the camo pants. I'd call it Edgy Chic, but you don't look grungy at all.
