Hope everyone has been having a very safe, happy and fulfilling holiday season. Haven't been on here since before Thanksgiving. Merry Merry Christmas, and I hope everyone had a wonderful day with loved ones. I'll try to update this tomorrow with what I wore this past week and today on Christmas!

LOL at the fake smile I'm giving in several of these pictures...I was TIRED from work!

Catching up!

Hey guys!

I just wanted to post a few outfits as of late and some from an event I went to last month. I like the fact that I can wear my own outfits to work (as long as they're work appropriate) instead of a uniform or set color scheme. I get to show off my ever expanding wardrobe:)

Oh and...

Can we talk about Ally's shoes? (BTW, she's super petite and tiny! I didn't realize until she walked past me) They were the Miu Miu curved heels. Absolutely amazing in person!

Hello! I went to a friend's bridal shower yesterday and took that as the perfect opportunity to dress up for an outfit of the day. I did a really simple look, cute top, cute vest, knit pants and flats. Nothing too crucial. I decided to try out a different kind of color palette from what I would normally wear and it wound up looking cute.

Easter Outfit! OOTD

Technically it's now Monday morning but yesterday was Easter so I decided to look really cute for church. I pulled out one of my favorite dresses and my trusty grey cardigan. I completed the look with my fave black necklace, opaque tights and my cute peep toe studded bow flats. The weather outside was frightful, rain and wind and humidity (oh my!) but I refused to look busted for service. I wish I could've worn my curls all out but a) the product I used was a big fail on my hair and b) the humidity would've made my hair grow a la Diana Ross.

I had to use my camera's self timer because I got to my parents house before them and had to rush and change before heading to a family lunch at my Uncle's soooooo that's why I look blurry and awkwardish.

Everyone have a great week!

I came home yesterday to see my sister and decided to try out some newer pieces from Forever21's plus size line. I bought the button up tunic shirt back in February and snatched the shorts last week when i went shopping with a friend. They're really stretchy like their jeans that I own. The only problem is that they fray reeeeally easily, so I was yanking at threads throughout the day. I bought the top in the biggest size, 3X so it would hit me at the longest length possible. It's really baggy on me but it looks kind of like a "boyfriend" top instead of ill fitting. I've worn it one other time with denim jeggiings and converse sneakers. I opted out of belting it because my super adorable satchel from H&M helped out with the shape a little bit.

These shoes are actually really comfy. Bought them from one of my fave places ever...Target :) They've lasted a year now and haven't really worn down too much.

When I went to Atlantic Station in Atlanta over the break, I SPECIFICALLY went to H&M to find this lol. One of my old co-workers has a similar bag from the amazing retailer and I was determined to find one for myself before leaving Atlanta.

I highly recommend you try out Forever21's pants! They're usually $11.50; I think one of my 2 pairs I paid $15? But that's a lot better than paying $52 at Torrid or Lane Bryant! They're all really stretchy and with me being 5'10 and 3/4 these jeans hit me perfect. I do have to shimmy in to them a little because of my derriere but in general I like their jeans/shorts/pants.

ALSO Target has a great selection in pants in their plus size section. I went up there last and tried on some denim trouser like pants..yesssss.

Happy shopping!
