How NOT To Wear an Abstract Print Blazer and Denim

So, I'm shopping my closet this past weekend and what do ya know, I have loads of blazers...lol.  I guess I have a love for them because they can dress up the most simple outfits.  I plan to showcase ALL of the blazers I own in my next few posts.  Sort of an installment series, if you will.  I found this particular abstract print blazer at Goodwill.  The material has a good amount of stretch.  There's nothing like a good structured blazer to pull a look together. Unfortunately, this blazer is not a great representation of structure on my body.

Feeling Blue

I know, I know...You've seen this sweatshirt before.  Lol, but it is sooo comfortable, y'all!  I recently styled this new favorite here.  Aaaand, I just had to wear it again.  This cobalt blue color has grown on me.  However, PINK will always be my favorite color.  It just SCREAMS girly, girl to me.

Hello, 2015!

Sweatshirt ~ Just My Size

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 here, here, here 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.

Floral Kimono

Hi, lovelies! I wore this look to church on Sunday, December 21, 2014.  We had such a beautiful program celebrating the birth of Jesus! While most people opt to wear red during the holiday season, I chose to stay true to myself and wear pink.  I found this beautiful kimono from It's Fashion on sale for $7.99.  Absolutely, positively, HAD to have it...lol.  The slacks were purchased from my local Goodwill for $4.25.  

I wanted the kimono to be the star of the show, so I decided to keep my accesories to a minimum and chose to accent with neutral colors.  This nude hand bag is old and if I recall it was around $10 from Ross.  What do guys think of this outfit? I am in loooove with it.  I will definitely be restyling this kimono again. Don't be surprised if you see it featured here on the blog in the near future.  Have a great week everyone!  Merry Christmas from my family to yours!  Until next time...

Peace and love,

Scarf Remix

Hey y'all! Yes I am from the southern part of the United States...lol. This post features one of my favorites from my scarf collection. I have worn it several times since I've purchased it. You may remember it from this post here. Although I wore the same color scheme, I opted to display my scarf in a slightly different way. I can't seem to get enough of jewel tones this season. I have several pieces in heavy rotation. I hope to showcase those looks soon. 

Anywho, scarves are a great way to add depth and character to an otherwise basic outfit in my opinion. It's a versatile accessory you can use to build or remix any outfit that is otherwise boring...sort of a game changer/conversation piece so to speak. I received so many compliments on my look this past weekend.

This particular day I thought I'd try adding a belt to cinch my waist and shape my figure. I love the richness and detail of the scarf. The colors blend well with the cognac color of my boots. About these boots....I am extremely excited to finally find an affordable pair to fit my 19 inch calves!! Oh my gosh, the struggle for plus size fashionistas with extra fluff to their lower half is unreal. 

I got these from one of my favorite stores called Avenue. Ordered them online during black Friday. They are still having an amazing sale! Ladies, if you have large calves and you're looking for a decent boot that won't break the bank, be sure to check out Avenue. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I found this cute cognac colored bag at the Goodwill this past weekend. I thought about carrying this bag below instead of my old faithful fringe bag. And... The fringe bag won... lol. So, quick question for my readers, which hand bag do you like with this outfit? Drop a comment below and let me know what ya think. As always, thanks for reading my blog.
