OOTD: Finally

2011-08-16T14:25:00.006-04:00

Okay, I know I make lots of excuses about not posting and I'm sorry for that. I've just been a pain lately and haven't been able to keep up right now.

But here it goes. Are you ready for this?

This is my outfit I wore out the other night. Yay, I think it's cute. The shirt is from Dots; I'd give you the link, but their website isn't that good. Like you can't online shop, you can only view like 4 shirts, 4 shorts, etc etc. I wish they had a better site.

However, the shirt was 25 bucks. I love the sparkles and when I wore this outfit to the city the other day with my mom, I got so many compliments. Some women told me that shirt was "created for me" and some creepy old guy was like "so beautiful..." when I walked by. So creppy lolol <3 But yeah, the sparkles make it. And normally, I'd stay away from horizontal lines, but because they're wavy, it actually looks nice.

The shorts were from Rainbow for 19.99 and the jacket was from Lane Bryant's Loop 18 brand. It was on sale and was 25 dollars. It's really cute and has that whole military concept to it, but it's really crappy. Both buttons on the elbows fell off and I now have to hold it together with bobby pins because it didn't give me extra buttons. So ghetto. But whatever. #overit

I really love the shirt though because you can wear it to school or you can go out to a party, it's really easy to either dress up or dress down. Not going to lie, it might be one of my favorite shirts I've ever bought. You can't see my accessories, but I'm wearing studs in my new! second hole and these wing earrings in my first hole. I got them at a random boutique in my town, I adore them!

Sorry that the lighting sucks, but I couldn't get a decent picture without the flash going off badly. But yeah, that's basically it. Thanks for checking it out, comments?!?! Please!

OOTD: Well, sort of.

2011-08-03T18:45:00.003-04:00

As long as the mucus continues to build up in my nose, I won't be looking any cute. So I found this photo on my camera from orientation, so I might as well just post it. Let me tell you, if I was feeling well today, it would be my outfit!

The only bust with it is that it is the exact shirt as yesterday. Well, basically. It is the shirt I recommended for you guys to buy because the shirt from yesterday's OOTD wasn't available on City Chic anymore.

Whatever. Don't hate me. I'm so dead, you have no idea. Anywhoooooooo I need to stop bitching. Leggo.

Okay, not my best looking day either. It was brutally hot at orientation and I was sweating balls. But yay, outfit! I'm wearing shorts that I got at Marshalls for like 15 bucks and I was able to get my shirt for free from City Chic because they wanted me to review some of their clothes.

Me being the retard I am, I decided to just buy two of the exact same shirts because I know that if one shirt looked good on me, so will the other. Lol, I know. Who am I? Well whatever, I got two pretty shirts with ruffles. I love this one even more than my red one though because it has sequins on it! I know you can't see it from the distance, but on the edges of the ruffles, there are sequins. Yayaya, I love it.

Similar to the other shirt from yesterday, you can dress it to a nice night out by pairing it with some cute heels or just chill at orientation in it, it's a great shirt for anything. A+! Just wish the fabric was better because if you actually have to pay for it, it's 38 dollars. Click here to see it, it's called the Beaded Frill Top and it's from City Chic.

I'm going to go take a shot of Nyquil and go to sleep forever. Byeeee!

Finally! The moment you've all been waiting for..AN OUTFIT POST!

Sorry for the lack lately, I got really sick. Like on my deathbed sick, but I need money for college, so I kept working..which didn't help my sickness. I'm temporarily recovering, lol. Thanks for not giving up on me, ahaha.

This isn't really my 'Outfit of the Day;' I'm currently wearing gym clothes right now. (yea yea just got my swell on). But uh, this was an outfit that I got from City Chic. They asked me to model something from their site, so yeah. Me being the girl who I am, I chose ruffles <3 And fire engine red.

Not going to lie, the shirt was made of "chinsey" fabric, as quoted by my mom. It's like a small step above Forever 21 fabric, lol. But unlike Forever 21, they're really expensive. Luckily, I used a coupon code and got like 30% off of something. Originally, it is 38 bucks.

Here are some other pictures of me in it so you can see more of the fabric. The shirt is really cute, you can use dress it up or down, I love it regardless of the material/price.

I couldn't find the exact shirt online anymore, but the B eaded Frill Top is similar, but in white or purple with beads on it, obviously lol. It's $38 bucks and YOU CAN CLICK THIS LINK TO SEE IT.

But yeah, overall it's a great shirt. I've gotten so many compliments on it; every time I wear it, the positive comments come pouring in. So give me your comments, positive or negative.

Loop 18's Out of the Loop

2011-07-23T15:25:00.005-04:00

Lawlz, get it? Like, "out of the loop?" I think we can all agree that Loop 18 has it's work cut out for them. I've been to the Lane Bryant outlet and have personally shopped at Loop 18. Despite Lane Bryant's expensive prices, Loop 18 was really cheap. They were, luckily, having a humongous sale and I bought 2 shirts and a jacket. Most of their prints are pretty ugly, not going to lie. But I have received compliments on my clothes I bought from them.

To say the least, they aren't there just yet. We just gotta believe, I'm confident that Loop 18 will become a pretty good plus sized store. It's hard to start up a new brand, so let's give them some more time.

My one complaint though is that the shirt I have is kind of crappy. I didn't really wear it that much and it started deteriorating. No holes or anything (thank god), but it got like old looking really quickly. And the military jacket I have, it's buttons fell off. There were these cute buttons on the elbows and they fell off easily. I was laying on the couch at my friend's house once and the second time, I walked off the bus and walked into the door (lol). Still though. AND they didn't even include extra buttons just incase. I was really mad, not going to lie. It's really cute. But I look pretty ghetto with a safety pin holding the elbow cuff things together haha.

Here are some clothes that I kinda/sorta like. Lol.

From Left to Right

1. Strapless Cotton Dress, $48.96 (on sale)

2. Cropped Dress Pants, $25.99 (on sale)

3. Glitter Tee, $26.99

4. Lace Back Emma Top, $29.99 (on sale)

Yeah. So like 2 out of 5 stars for me. Get Better, Loop 18. I'll help you! Lol.

Maxi Dress Madness

2011-07-22T17:48:00.008-04:00

I'm not into Maxi Dresses really, but as I walk down the street in this 100 degree weather, it's all I see. They seem to be pretty lightweight, so it helps with all this humidity. And paired with a nice hat or some cute wedges, it'd make a great outfit!

I'm not a Maxi Dress kind of gal because I hate long dresses, prom was a nightmare. Once I took off my heels, I was tripping all over the place. And I kind of don't like all of the prints, I feel like it's too much of a goodthing..if ya know what I mean.

After much searching, I found 5 maxi dresses I liked! The one on the left is from American Eagle. American Eagle isn't really 'plus sized,' but they go up to XXL, which is like an 18/20. And they only sell the XXL online, so yeah. The model is wearing it as a skirt and it looks absolutely adorable! It also received 5 out of 5 stars from buyers! It's 50 bucks and if you click HEREEE you can find it.

From Right to Left

1. Forever 21 +'s Faux Scarf Maxi Dress, $29.80

2. Torrid's Purple Crochet Back Maxi Dress, $54.50

3. Torrid's Border Mesh Floral Maxi Dress, $68.00

4. Old Navy's Floral Chiffon Maxi Dress, $49.94

My Torrid Affair With Torrid

2011-07-21T10:09:00.014-04:00

So we all know I shop at Torrid. It's, what I believe tobe, the most accessible for me. Does that make sense? Despite the fact that I always get annoyed with Torrid now and then regarding prices/quality, I love them.

Storytime:

If I didn't find a Torrid, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Iused to wear t-shirts and like gym shorts to school everyday and NEVER wore anything fashionable because I couldn't fit into anything. I used to go to Kohl's or something with my mom and couldn't fit into the clothing and I would just cry in the dressing rooms. I'm not even kidding, I hated going shopping and my mom did too. And when she would take me into the Women's sections, I would cry even more because the clothes are nothing like what the people in school wear. You know what I mean though? I just wanted to dress like everyone else dressed at school and couldn't because I didn't know of any store.

One day, I was in a different mall and we passed a Torrid. My mom said we should check it out and it was amazing. Clothing actually fit me and I was so excited to actually wear something nice and I felt confident, for once. I didn't need to hide behind a sweatshirt or anything. And from then on, Torrid has been the store that I've gone to for anything and everything.

Here are some cute clothes!

From Right to Left

1. Harmony Black and Leopard Trim Flat, $39.95

2. Black Ruched-Sleeve Blazer, $54.00

3. Pewter Ruffle Gladiator Sandals, $19.99 (on sale)

4. Black Stretch Lace Bow-Back Embroidered Top, $38.50

5. White Tafta Pocket Tube Dress with Rhinestone Trim, $78.00

6. Curvy Grad Skinny Jean, $58.50

7. Cream and Blue Heart Ruffle Trim Blouse, $44.50

8. White Burnout Pocket Tube Dress, $68.60

The amazing thing about torrid is that they have EVERYTHING. From clothes to shoes to accessories, you can purchase everything you need for an outfit. And even though they're expensive, they have sales a lot.

I love you, Torrid.

New Idea for My Page

2011-07-21T09:34:00.002-04:00

I'm going to start reviewing websites for my page. Like my days on my laptop consist of me sitting here, staring at thousands of models wearing a store's clothes; so I might as well just blog about it. Right? And if I've shopped there, I'll post a picture of myself in an outfit.

However, unfortunately, my mom doesn't love me enough to take me out shopping as much as I like; so I won't have many outfit posts regarding the store. But I'll post my own outfits and stuff. And I'll post my favorite clothes from the store :)

Yay. Ideas. :)

Any stores you guys want me to check out? I'm going to try and re-do my own side bar of all the plus sized stores, so let me know of any new and upcoming stores!

A Picture Post? SAY WUUUTTTT!

2011-07-20T19:45:00.003-04:00

YEAH WHAT. HERE WE GO. LEGGO. BOTTOMS UP!

Now I know I look friggin' retarded. But it was like 6:30 in the morning and I just took a shower and my dorm room was really hot.

Oh btw, I was at orientation. My school was brutally hot and I probz should have took a picture outside because my campus is GORGES; but whatever. Btw, I'm going to Ithaca. Get the gorges statement? (we have gorges, they're gorgeous)

But back to clothes! Guess where my shirt was...TORRID YUP WHERE ELSE?! And the shorts are from Marshall's. I wish you guys could have saw my earrings, they're so cute. I'm gonna do a post about jewelry soon :)

Now to the important stuff. So I just went through all of Torrid's site in hopes of finding it, but no. You can't really see the lace details in the photo, but it's really pretty. It's sparkly and it makes the shirt that much better! I bought it a size smaller a while ago to give me incentive to lose weight and it finally fits, so I'm excited! Haha.

Then I went to about every other site I could think of to find something similar and got nothing. I mean, there's a shirt in black that is lacey and nice, but WHO WANTS TO WEAR BLACK EVERYDAY OF THEIR LIFE? Ugh. I can't stand black anymore, so no more.

This is the closest I could find, it's from Forever 21+ and I love it on the model. It's 22.80 and it's known as the Sequined Sweetheart Top. That's all I could really find. Sorry! I still think it's cute though :)

Okay, time for the big leagues

2011-07-20T19:36:00.002-04:00

I'm sick of my petty shit. I'm not gonna get more followers by sitting here, complaining about how I am so busy and that I'll start to post more sometime later. So here I am, TRYING DESPERATELY to do the right thing and become more of a fatshion blogger.

Leggo.

My Life

2011-07-17T17:53:00.002-04:00

My life has become progressively more and more pathetic. I wake up in the morning and work. Then I go on my computer and stare at clothes that I wish I could buy if I was rich. But I'm poor. And my life sucks. I'm listening to Shut Up & Drive right now and I'm getting really annoyed. One second.

Okay, I had to change the song. Fucking Pandora. Okay this song is annoying me too. I'm kinda in a crappy mood right now because my best friend won't hang out with me tonight. He was at the beach for like 342534 hours and now doesn't wanna go out. Ugh. And a bunch of my friends are on vacation. #soalone.

But I don't know how to put photos onto my mac, ugh. I feel so un-intellectual. Is that even a word? But on the fashion POV, Torrid has pretty cute clothing right now! I'm actually getting excited. I'm scrolling through their 'New Arrivals' as I type. Okay, maybe it's not that nice, but still. They're getting better!

I'll post later. I'm annoyed by this song too. Sorry. Pointless Post. Alliteration. Bye.

It's Been a While

2011-07-14T19:40:00.002-04:00

Sorry. From college orientation to going to Boston for little, I didn't have anytime near the computer to post. So, I'm sorry about that. Orientation was nice, I really love my school. I looked really cute and I took pictures, so I'll post them up soon! Then I went to the store and bought two new shirts which I'm in love with! They're sparkly and adorable. Ugh, so perfect.

I took pictures of me in there too, :) So sorry, I'm tired and am going to go to sleep. Bye! I promise to post soon!

Happy 4th of July!

2011-07-04T14:25:00.002-04:00

I hope you all have a fun and safe holiday! Bottoms up!

Just got out of the shower, not too sure what I'm going to wear yet. Honestly, I'm not even sure of my plans yet. It's either go to Fire Island (which I still need to ask for permission from my mom) or stay home and go to my friend's party. But more importantly, what am I going to wear?! I'm thinking of wearing my City Chic ruffled top, it's so cute and I'm obsessed with ruffles so it's kind of perfect. The only thing that really bugs me, however, is that it has a banded bottom. Like, I feel like the band on the bottom looks weird with a skirt. But I really want to wear a skirt. Chances are, I'll just wear it with shorts and call it a day.

I don't know, there's something about banded bottoms and skirts. I feel like those kind of shirts look 1000x better with something like shorts or skinny jeans. Meh, outfit problems. And since it'll probably be cold on the beach later in the night, I'm going to bring this cute military jacket I got from Loop 18, Lane Bryant's young adult line. So, I'll be adorable ;)

Okay, I need to get dressed. I'll hopefully get a lot of pictures taken by my friends so yeah, byeee

I got a Mac!

2011-07-03T19:22:00.002-04:00

Yay for college! So now that I have a mac, I'll probably be able to blog more often since I have access to a computer more often. But this will just be me talking about my feelings and how annoyed I am over everything.

On a positive note, I got my second hole pierced! I really want to get my cartilage pierced, but I can't do it at Claire's, haha. Soo I just went for my second hole. Yay! It doesn't hurt that badly, if any of you were wondering. It was just a really hard pinch. Like it hurts more afterwards than anything, it's just throbbing a lot lol.

I haven't really gone shopping in a while. I had prom and that was a lot of money, so I haven't received much shopping moolah from my mother, unfortunately. However, City Chic has been extremely nice and has let me review some clothes so I'm so thankful for them! Legitimately, I wouldn't have half of my summer clothes if it wasn't for them. I wore a dress to graduation from CC and I have two tops from them too. I want the whole site, ugh, it's horrible.

My weightloss has come to an halt. I'm so busy and I wish I could work out more, but I'm so tired. I work at my job 7-3 (40 hours a week) and then chill until like 5/6 and then go out with my friends until 12 and then work again at 7. I know I could work out in that 3-5/6 time zone but ugh, I'm so tired. Don't be mad. I'll try still, just give me support! hahaha

Just wait from my prom post, I have stories for all of you. Lol, seriously. Prom. Haha. Omg. What a joke.

I'll probably post later because I'm tired tonight and am just going to stay in. Happy July everyone! Be safe tomorrow!

School is over

2011-06-28T11:53:00.003-04:00

So I have officially have no excuse not to post. I, actually, can still come up with many excuses; but, I'll try not to and just start posting a lot. I owe it to my 16 followers, ahaha. Okay, leggo!

This year was filled with many great outfit days, to which I will start posting photos of. I had Senior Banquet, Prom, After-Prom, Grad Parties, and just regular days when I looked really good. Yeah, I'm being full of myself, but I don't care ;)

Okay, to start it off, I'll post a picture from my musical's cast party. I was really tired, but whatever; no judging!

I got the shirt from Torrid. I never saw it on the website and I didn't go shopping at my regular store. I was visiting my brother in Albany and my mom and I went to the mall. The shirt was on clearance and it is literally my favorite shirt ever. It's adorable! I wish it was online so I could show you, but it seems like really old. It didn't even have the new tags on it. You know how the colors are for certain sizes? The colors were completely different, so I'm just guessing that it was a really old shirt, haha.

Okay, I have more to post. But that's enough for now. Because of this find, I've decided to look at clearance more often. Not only did I get that shirt for like 25 bucks, but it's probably the best material Torrid ever had and nothing has fallen off it yet (knock on wood)! Okay, byeee! lol <3

SALE SALE SALE NOMNOMNOM

2011-04-22T09:56:00.003-04:00

Because City Chic loves to tell me about their sales, I might as well let you all know about them as well! Soooo:

There is an Easter Sale going on right now at City Chic and EVERYTHING is 30% off! Even their sale items! Not gonna lie, I bought a couple shirts on there yesterday and am PISSED that I missed out on this friggin sale. PISSED. Lolz, it happens. But seriously, City Chic has mad nice clothes. I can't wait until I get to try my clothes on once I get them!

Also important to know is that they have FREE SHIPPING AND FREE RETURNS. So if you're like me and don't know exactly what size you fit into right now, you can shop with confidence! Btdubz, this sale is going on until midnight, April 26th, so hurry up!

Meaningless post..

2011-03-12T21:54:00.002-05:00

So whatever, I lack with the posts, I know. But you guys don't understand my life at the moment.
But, I'm trying. Although I don't have pictures, I have a story for you all. So, you guys know about my pure hatred for Torrid because of how overpriced they are? Well, I don't necessarily them, I just wish they weren't so expensive because their clothes aren't all too nice to begin with. Well, when I was in Albany a couple of weeks ago, I stopped by a Torrid and fell in love all over again. Despite being in between sizes because of losing weight, so I was nervous about wearing clothes down a size but everything went so well. I got back into a Torrid size 2 which made me super ecstatic! Grant it, I bought three shirts and it was like 100 bucks, but ugh so worth it! I'll take a picture over the course of this week, they were adorable and I love the shirts <3 One I haven't worn yet because it's pretty tight, but I've been losing weight and hopefully, this'll be the week that I debut it!

Then, I went shopping again. I was in the neighborhood and stopped at the Riverhead Outlets where they had a Lane Bryant Outlet. Lane Bryant, I know...really? But no, I remembered that they had a Loop 18 store in there which is like the teen version of Lane Bryant! We all know that LB is even more expensive than Torrid, but I was lucky to find out that everything in the Loop 18 store was 50% off so I bought three shirts. I'm going to try and stop by there soon because I want dress pants, but yeah. So Loop 18 was actually pretty decent, the clothes were pretty cute!

But I have to go to bed, hope you all don't be too tired when you wake up. Happy lose an hour of sleep night or whatever, lolz. I have work at 8am tomorrow..totes perf! Bye!

2011-03-06T08:36:00.002-05:00

Sorry that the add came out so crappy...this is my life. BUTTTTT IN OTHER NEWS. City Chic, AKA THE BEST STORE EVER, is offering us 20 BUCKS OFF. I said it, 20 dollars off all jeans! Especially as Spring is finally arriving, we need to pack up on our skinny jeans and capris and shorts, everything denim!

Soooooo, to get a hold of this amazing deal, just go to www.citychiconline.com and buy as much as your heart desires!

Okay, I'm a failure

2011-03-01T21:25:00.000-05:00

I'm aware of this. However, I just finished my college auditions/scholarship stuff. So, I'm trying to get back into the habit of taking pictures/posting.

I'm really tired though and mad sick. I have to go to bed because this Nyquil is kicking in.
I PROMISE I'LL TRY AND POST SOMETHING BY THE END OF THIS WEEK.
Bye :(

Random

2011-01-25T22:52:00.002-05:00

So I went to UDel this past weekend for my college audition and forgot to bring my camera so I couldn't take a picture of my outfit. However, I will try this weekend .. going to Potsdam! Seriously, I'm really busy and have no new clothes. I wore old Torrid clothes to my audition, what a joke.

I'll post soon, seriously.

At the moment,

2011-01-18T22:06:00.002-05:00

I don't have a fashion sense. I go to school everyday in jeans and a sweatshirt. Primarily my BU sweater and my old JV soccer sweater. It's pretty pathetic. I don't even do my hair anymore - pony tail and some bobby pins and I call it a day. I'm not really one of those girls who has a bad day and dresses like amazing and feels better about themselves later. If I'm tired/upset/annoyed, I'll wear sweaters and I'm really tired, hahaha.

Btw, I have to go to the store STAT because I don't have an outfit for my college auditions. Fingers crossed that I buy something else too! ;)

That's all for now. I swear, my site is worth reading, don't give up on me yet!

So incase you haven't noticed..

2011-01-17T21:51:00.002-05:00

I'm really bad with resolutions. hahaha, I hate myself. Okay, so I'm going to try really hard and get better at this. Just letting you know though, posting isn't my number one interest right now, no offense.

I have six college auditions in the next five weeks, pit rehearsals until april, rehearsals every night but monday (which is when i have lessons), and work 25 hours a week. Sooo, i'm busy.

But please don't get mad. I'm trying hard. I'm looking at my favorite website right now too, city chic! So I haven't forgotten about you guys! Don't worry :)

Anywho..

2011-01-12T14:04:00.003-05:00

Today is a snow day. I'd normally would want to go to school just to have an extra day off during Memorial Day, but this was much needed. I needed the extra sleep and time to do all the stuff I've needed to do for a while and haven't been able to accomplish. I'm still currently in my pajamas (..it's 2PM lol), but I'm going to take a shower and see The Black Swan (for a second time) with my mom. It's going to be so awkward when she fingers herself/has a lesbian sex scene with my mom sitting right next to me. Not looking forward to that. If you're going to the movies soon and haven't saw it, I would recommend it, it's different. Anywho, in the midst of my day off, I browsed the internet for some clothes I really like and want to buy but am too poor to buy it. Doing so, I came across a site that I've never really checked out and I really think you all should! It's called eshakti and does wonderful things to their customers. I was most impressed with what I learned from the site...

They can (get this) customize the style of the clothes you choose. Like say you like a shirt and am planning on going to the Bahamas for a winter vacation and you came across these GORGEOUS long sleeved shirt that you thought would look great. But who wants to sweat in the Bahamas? Not me. You can just tell them and they can change it - short sleeved, no sleeved, whatever! They do custom changes of the sleeve, neckline, and length all for us customers! And your custom clothes are shipped in 3 days, how legit! They also have sizes form 0-6X, 6X!!! And it's not like the typical store where they have clothes up to a high size that are really unappealing, they actually have nice clothes. And many of their clothes are offered in different colors.

Wait, hold up. SO I DON'T HAVE TO WEAR BLACK EVERYDAY? Like I'm really trying to get out of my black habit, like I can't go to my friends and be like "hey look, I got a new shirt" and they're always like "it looks liek the one you wore yesterday." Cause a black shirt is a black shirt, even if you're color blind. So, it sucks. Mind this, they're a little expensive, but to customize your orders for you, we should be paying them more. If you went to the cleaners and had them add/cut stuff off your clothes, you'd be paying way too much to begin with. So seriously, check out eshakti.com now.

:)

I'm on a diet.

2011-01-03T21:33:00.002-05:00

Did you know? Well obviously not cause I never post. But apart from fashion, I am going to have you guys watch me live my life of dying because I am on a diet. Now, I'm not on a regular diet where I can eat anything I want, just in small portions, like Weight Watchers..I'm on the hell of all diets, Nutrisystem! Well, it's not hell. But what I would do for a slice of pizza, it's disgusting. Well anyways, I've lost 3 pounds so far. I'll tell you my weight sooner, when I'm not so embarrassed ;)

But this is just a quick post, I'm going to bed though because I am mad hungry and if I stay up any longer, I'll start eating my arm off. Bye!

In Lieu of the New Year...

2011-01-02T19:41:00.003-05:00

I've made some resolutions (is that the right spelling/word?). Regardless, here they are:

1. Go to the gym 4 or more times a week.
2. Practice 6 or more times a week.
3. Post at least 3 times a week on here.
4. Stop cursing.
5. Stop biting my puppies, they're just so cute, I have to bite them!

..and I'm pretty sure that's it. :)
Sooo, today I had work. I'm obviously not that fashionable but I'm here.

I have to take pictures of all my Christmas gifts for you guys. See ya soon! I really hope I get some of my fans back, lolz.

So I'm going to kill City Chic right now..

2010-12-11T00:52:00.002-05:00

Okay, so I sign up to receive all these email notifications on sales and stuff for all these plus size retailers because I like to know when there's a good deal. And I ALWAYS get stuff from City Chic, who I love like crazy. And I opened up my email and browsed the site and am like about to cry because they have the cutest clothes in the world.

For once in my life, I don't want to buy a black shirt! City Chic actually has cute clothes that look very nice on plus sized girls that aren't the color black and it is really freaking inspiring. However, the clothes I like are like 60 bucks per shirt. Which is seriously killing me. If I was to buy two shirts, that'd be my 25 hours of work, which isn't fair. I know I've had a crazy obsession with City Chic lately, but I just have been looking at the site and absolutely adoring everything.

City Chic is, by far, my favorite plus size store in the world. I said it, yup! I've never bought anything from there (yet), but I love their clothes so much. Torrid charges too much and doesn't deliver on style, Forever 21+ is just too slow and doesn't go any larger than a 3x which in Forever 21 language is like an 18 and all other stores don't really appeal to me that well. I want to marry City Chic, but they're too expensive for my taste. Someone please buy me a city chic gift card for christmas! Pleaseeee!

City Chic Discounts Yayayayay!

2010-12-06T22:03:00.003-05:00

So we all know how poor I am and how my minimum wage job allows me to purchase absolutely nothing. So, whenever there is a good deal, I'm all for using that discount up to its maximum use ;)

SOOOO *drum roll please!*

CITY CHIC, WHICH IS THE BEST STORE IN THE WORLD, HAS A 30% OFF DISCOUNT TO ALL US BUYERS.

Originally an Australian plus size retailer, they have branched out to the US and now are selling their wonderful and totsey totes adorable clothes to us! So, if you plug in the code BM30FS, you can get your 30% off on the best clothes in the world.
Seriously, I have never purchased from them because who knows what size is right for me and if I have to send it back, the shipping would be a pain, but I'm so excited right now.

Being that they are pretty expensive, I'd take full opportunity of this amazing offer because, honestly, it'd be stupid not to.

Click thisss ---> City Chic! <---Click ittttt

They really have some great clothes in there, the only problem is 1. they're expensive (at least to me) and 2. it's like summer in Australia, so they don't really have clothes that can typically keep us Americans that warm, lol.

NEVERTHELESS, go to citychic.com like now. Okay :)

My camera broke..

2010-10-20T20:30:00.002-04:00

Excuses after excuses, I dropped my phone in the sink because I went to Albany with my mom and I put it on the little table in the bathroom where the sink is and when i pressed the 10 second photo framing so I could get into position to take a picture FOR YOU GUYS, i tapped it over and dropped it into the sink (and I was too stupid to turn off the water because I had just finished brushing my teeth and am completely stupid). But I've managed, I stole my mom's camera ;)

This was from Saturday. It was actually warm outside, Torrid Cardigan, Torrid Cami, Marshall's Shorts.
Cami: $24
Cardigan: $38
Shorts: $20

Since I can't find anything similar, I'll just give you look alikes. $16.80 for the cami, $30.80 for the cardigan, and $24.98 for the shorts. Note: There is a 30% sale going on at Torrid, hence the weird prices. I'll update tmrw. I would post my outfit for today, but I stayed home sick. See ya guys laterrr xoooxoxoxo

Cardigan Craziness: Monday

2010-09-27T21:23:00.002-04:00

I've been thinking about what to post on here, especially since I haven't been that well of a blogger. Sorry, again, for the lack of posts. So, I got bored and decided I was going to wear cardigans all week - 5 days of school, 5 cardigans. I just wanted to do it to show how versatile they really are and how they really are the best thing everrrr! Hahaha, okay so today is Monday. This shirt, I bought at Marshalls (where else?) for 15 bucks. The capris were 20 bucks, also from Marshall's. My cardigan I got like two years ago at Torrid, so about 35 bucks, I'm assuming.

Now, I really like this outfit because it's actually really simple to do. It's too cold to wear a sleeveless tank with ruffles, especially since I don't like showing my pale arms, so putting a cardigan on makes it available for other seasons as well as makes me feel comfortable.
Tank: Chiffon Flutter Ruffles Top; $17.80 (Faith 21)
Cardigan: Ivory Lace-Trimmed Cropped Cardigan; $34.00 (Torrid)
Capris: Roll Cuff Capri; $21.99 (Wet Seal)

^^Note: I can't find the exacts, but I'm giving you something. Incase you can't see in the picture, the cardigan has a couple of little ruffles, so that's why I put it with the tank. :)
So yeah, that's for today. Hope you enjoy it! If the cardigan wasn't from Torrid, I bet my outfit would have been like under 60 bucks! Boo torrid ;) Lol, jk, but the Torrid cardigans last me forever, never had a problem with them. Enjoy! See ya tomorrow!

City Chic Tribal Lookbook

2010-09-08T22:54:00.002-04:00

So here are the photos from City Chic's new lookbook, I like the pieces but not the looks. I feel like I'm in the middle of Ke$ha's "Your Love is My Drug" music video. The headpiece that is worn in basically every picture is cool, but I could never see myself wearing that, unless it was Halloween or something. I just wish there was a different kind of look so I could actually see the outfits better. But the maxi dress on the top right is really cute. All outfits are cute, I just wish they were done differently.
I don't know, I mean it's really creative and I give them credit. The shots look like they could be on ANTM, but I just don't like them. I like looks that go with the outfits. I can't see someone in a maxi dress standing in the middle of a wheel or whatever. When I looked at the tribal pieces by themselves, I actually liked them. They didn't seem tribal at all! They were regular, adorable, regular City Chic clothes that I love and wish I had enough money to pay for! So, please, can someone just make a regular lookbook once? I guess that takes away creativity or something, but I wouldn't mind something not crazy.

OOTD: Win from Marshall's!

2010-09-06T19:53:00.002-04:00

So, I bought this outfit from Marshall's and wore it a couple days ago. Look's like it was way more than $35 bucks, but it wasn't! Just so you know, I fixed my hair up before I went out, so you could see the design more. I was just in a rush to get out and took a couple quick pics ;)

I just wanted to show the design, hence the top two pictures. The bottom is a full body shot. Since the shirt is more like a tunic, it looks like I'm not wearing pants when I wear shorts and I feel weird, hahah. So I matched it with capris.
Shirt: Marshall's, $14.99
Capris: Marshall's, $19.99
I saw the same brand of jeans from Torrid and they were around 40 bucks. So, trust me, Marshall's is the way to go! I'll try to find a similar outfit so you guys can copy this. :)

From left to right:
Top row: Cream Studded-Trim Tank Top; $38.00, Torrid
Bead Halter Top; $18.99, Wet Seal
Wooden Beaded Trim Top; $19.80, Faith 21
Bottom row: Roll Cuff Capri; $21.99, Wet Seal
Beaded Slub Top; $17.90, Faith 21
Buttoned Pocket Denim Capris; $19.80, Faith 21

Personally, I would choose the Roll Cuff Capri and the Beaded Slub Top. Those are the most similar to mine. I love the design on it and I like the color, it's so rich. And I like the banded bottom, obviously haha. I'm not a fan of the Torrid one, I just wanted to post one because that's one of the stores where most people would try to find this shirt. The Wet Seal one is cute, it just wasn't my favorite. And I threw in the Wooden Beaded Trim Top for all you people who love to wear black :) If you go to the Faith 21 website, they have a lot of shirts like this, all for a perfect price! I'd just watch out though, Forever 21 stuff has like nothing to it, hence the price. ;) Hope this post helped!
Tomorrow is my first day of school, so I hope you'll like my outfit posts and the lines under my eyes in the pictures, ha!

OOTD: September 4, 2010

2010-09-04T11:04:00.002-04:00

Although I have work today 12-8, I decided that I'd go to get Starbucks with my mom and as you guys can tell, I was tired and completely shot from the past two days. It was before I decided that I would just put my hair up in a messy bun and call it a day, haha.

Shirt: Torrid, what else? I tried to find something similar, which I couldn't on the site. I wear this shirt all the time because I love the banded bottom. I don't like when stuff sticks to my stomach and it just hangs there; my mom hates the banded bottoms because she thinks her butt is too big, but if you're normal in that area, it's a great fit. This is the closest I could find, completely different, but it has a banded bottom which is a plus!
Shorts: Marshall's, Source of Wisdom was the brand. I got the jeans for $14.99; going on the Torrid website (which would be the only other place I'd find those shorts that I know of), it is the same price. But that's with it being on clearance and their annual 50% off clearance sale. This is the closest I could find.

With school almost beginning..

2010-09-03T23:43:00.002-04:00

Just want to stop by and let you understand how hectic it's been. I just got back from my brother's college orientation, I'm still working my butt off. But, luckily school is about to begin and you know what that means! SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES.

Because I'm a "working girl," I am using all the money I've gotten from my birthday (which was the 24th of August), which isn't much, so when I get clothes, I'm sure the post'll be great. I feel like I can't really update without new clothes because I wear basically the same thing everyday. However, with school beginning, I will, hopefully, be wearing something different everyday ;)

On our way home from Siena (Albany area), there was a Marshall's and being that my mom and I are obsessed with Marshall's, we stopped by and the women's dept. was actually pitiful, as usual. Tricked ya there ;) But I found a cute pair of jeans and a shirt. And of course, the only shirt I got had the "juniors plus" sticker on it. So, I went into the Junior's dept. and scoped out some stuff and although I didn't get anything, I somehow fit my fat ass into the XL. I'm like a size 20 and the XL was alright on my stomach area, but not on my arms. I hate my fat arms.

Anyways, I'm seeing Wicked next Sunday in the city for my birthday. I can't wait, seriously. I'm going to absolutely melt, GET IT? ahahhahahahha yayyyayayaya so cleverrrrr. Incase you don't know, Wicked is like what happened before The Wizard of Oz, like with the witches. I think, ha. I am too scared to google the plot because I don't want to find out the ending. Anyways, hope to be catching up with you guys soon. Miss you <3

I'm not dead.

2010-08-11T12:41:00.000-04:00

Just want to let you know I'm alive. I got a fever blister and am not taking any pictures because although you can't see it from far away, it'll still annoy me if I post a picture :)
This picture above is me from my senior pictures, I'LL SHOW YOU THOSE SOON. :) They all look good, except for the stupid ones that I have to put in the yearbook, obviously.

Be back soonnn, herpsss is outta controlll!
looollllololollo i'm kidding around.

OOTD: Blue or Black?

2010-08-05T23:16:00.002-04:00

Now, I went shopping about two months ago at MARSHALL'S. I said it, Marshall's, and picked up some pretty cute stuff. I first found this shirt in black, LOVED IT. Of course I loved it in black, it's my color, black is every girl's best friend. However, as I continued skimming, I realized it was also there in a turquoise color, a very pretty one at that. Not being able to choose, I got both, I mean they were $14.99, I could get it, right?

Now, I took a picture with both before going out. White shorts that are a hundred years old, I just realized now that you can't view where the link are, I'll make them a different color for you too. Get either the White Tina Short or the White Distressed Denim Short, both from Torrid. The shirts I randomly got at Marshall's; I can't find the shirt online, but the plus sized dept. at Marshall's is very limited in style. I was in Maryland when I got these two shirts.

Can you tell which shirt I liked better? Which shirt do you think I went out in? You guessed it, the black! You can tell through my pose, everything indicates I like it better. I know, my hair is a wreck, it always is. I know, I needed some color in my wardrobe and went out, buying the blue. It's still gorgeous, I just don't feel as comfortable in it. Forgot to take my confidence pills today, ha. Anyways, I'm gonna try and go out with it on another day, maybe will actually wear my hair nice too!

I hope you guys understand, I've kind of lost patience to do my hair now, it's like not worth it anymore, hahaha. Anyways, what do you like better? Blue or black?

Outfit post :)

2010-08-04T15:42:00.002-04:00

Slowly but surely, I'm coming back.
So, on my day off, I went in my pool then went to my friend's house before going to a Met game. I had to run home to get my charger for my cell phone and decided to take a picture of my outfit. I know, my hair looks gorgeous, it was post pool ;)

They are the same white worn out shorts that I've had since ninth grade, if you were to buy a pair, I'd choose either the White Distressed Denim Short or the White Tina Short (this one is on clearance ;D) And as for the top, I got it last year and it isn't on the site. As we all know, this was during my Torrid shopping spree, cause it was basically the only store I knew about for a while. Black Crocheted Lace Neck Top is the closest to what it is, but without the band on the bottom. I like the band on the bottom, it hugs your figure :) But as most fat girls, I hate having my arms sticking out, so I don't wear it that much, although it's adorable. Another post coming for tomorrow! :) I miss comments!

So, again with my lack of updates explanation

2010-07-20T00:05:00.002-04:00

I've been promising more outfits! And I haven't given them because in short, I wear no new clothes. I walk around five days a week in my McDonald's uniform and the other two days are spent me walking around the house, sleeping. Work is killing my life, but I'm really trying to update and have been failing, horribly.

And is anyone trying out for the Torrid Model House of Dreams model search?!
If so, tell me and I want pictures! I'm not signing up, but when I have some days off and actual strength to move, I'll do everything I need to do for this site. I feel like such a tool for not, but I'm so sorry, my shifts are form 3-11pm, like right in the middle of the day to late at night. And when I have off, I make up for my lost hours of sleep cause when I get out of work, I am bouncing off the walls. :/

Love/miss you all!

July 4, 2010 - BEST DAY OF MY LIFE!

2010-07-08T12:03:00.002-04:00

I went all the way to Atlantic City from Long Island to see LADY GAGA! It was seriously the best day I've ever had in my life, not even kidding. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe and I can't even begin, this would be too long of a blog to read! But we made shirts for the concert, they glew in the dark, but we didn't take pictures in the dark cause we're dumb.

Mine was "WADJA BAD ROMANCE," it's like an inside joke cause at the end of Bad Romance, Gaga is like screaming that and we say it that way. Then I have all the ra ra ah ah ah and stuff around it. My best friend did "He ate my heart" and cut out a heart and slits and then my other friend did "I'm a free bitch, baby;" get it, free bitch? July 4th? Hahahaha.

I got my shorts from Marshall's, I've been making some good finds there. :)
And CAUSE I KNOW YA'LL WANNA SEE SOME GAGA!!!!!

Literally, the best concert ever. I had so much with my friends, we met Alex from the Real Housewives of NYC, went on this stroller thing and screamed at people, saw Gaga. Like ughhh, I wish I could go again. But happy belated fourth!

City Chic

2010-07-04T07:58:00.004-04:00

City Chic is an Australian plus sized retailer with actual adorable clothes! So, being bored, I saw an email from City Chic and decided to check out their clothes and omg, look at the adorableness?!

1. Beaded V-Neck Top, $51.60
2. Bow Waterfall Top, $36.85
3. Diamante Chain Frill Top, $51.60
4. Graphic Stripe Top, $58.98
5. Lace Butterfly Print Top, $44.23
6. Love Music Top, $29.47
7. Pretty Lace Bow Shirt, $51.60
8. Rosey Posey Tunic, $44.23
9. Sequin Heart Graffiti Top, $44.23
10. Cropped Satin Trench Coat, $110.63
11. Denim Crop Jacket, $66.36
12. Ruffled Spot Minnie Dress, $110.63
13. Sheer Stripe Top, $66.36

And as I was getting the links for my favorites, I came across some more that I guess I just scanned over, not really taken a look at, like the Sexy Cowl Top w/ Bling Belt ($58.98), the Tiered Spot Flock Joy Dress ($73.73), or the Vinyl Cropped Jacket ($73.73).

Every single piece is so cute, like literally. I think the part I love the most is that not everything is in black, I can pick something that I think is cute and NOT wonder "what would this look like in black?" Also, the model is gorgeous and her confidence shines through her pictures, giving me the confidence to also try on the clothes that she has. Like, she is really selling these clothes. Everything here though is simply adorable, I want it all! Sorry for not posting last night like I promised, I was busy making t-shirts for LADY GAGA TODAY. I can't wait, I couldn't sleep, so I woke up early and finished this up :P But yeah, love you guys!!

Uh, awkward

2010-07-03T10:54:00.001-04:00

So my computer has been completely out of wack lately, I don't get it. The internet connection busted and now it just goes in and out weirdly and it doesn't let me on blogger, I don't get it. BUT HA, I BEAT THE SYSTEM AND STILL GOT HERE.

Anywho, I keep talking about how I'll continue updating, I will, I will. I'm just working 40 hrs a week now (at the lovely McDonald's) and the other time, I'm sleeping. I'm not even kidding, working there kills me, especially my feet, haha.

But I have important news for you guys and in light of this, I'm making another post TODAY.

Orchestra Banquet

2010-06-21T23:01:00.004-04:00

So, for the orchestra banquet, I didn't feel like dressing up nice so I just straightened my hair and put on a dress, lol.

The dress is from Estelle's, it's by XSCAPE, Estelle's is this dress store on Long Island. If you live nearby, make sure you check it out, they have a good plus size selection, for the most part. It was my sweet sixteen dress, so yeah. The fit was great, it was an 18. But yeah, random pictures. I'm really sorry for the lack of updates, I've been dying. So busy, so tired. Can't do it all :/ But yeah, miss ya'll!

Chorus Banquet

2010-06-16T22:45:00.005-04:00

So on Monday, after school, I had the Chorus Banquet. It's just a big party to celebrate the year in chorus. We make fun of the seniors, eat, dance, and the seniors give underclassmen gag gifts. I had work right before it, so I looked bad, but here's a picture of me there with one of my friends:

I like the fuzzy on the bottom of my dress. But I can't tell you where I got my dress, cause then you'll know it's my Junior Prom one! Ahhh, SPOILER. Disregard the McDonald's hair and the massive pimples, I have like deep fryer oil in my skin permanently now ;)

But the banquet was fun, I was so tired though. And my gag gift was Twix (:D)

I'll put up pictures from the Orchestra Banquet tomorrow, but just wait for the Junior Prom post, I want more followers before I do so!

I'M BACK.

2010-06-15T21:20:00.002-04:00

So, my life has been pretty hectic, I say that all the time. I know. But it really has, I just finished my junior year yesterday (minus finals). I've been working mad hours at McDonald's and played at Carnegie Hall two weeks ago and went to Baltimore for my brother's baseball tournament this past weekend. And on top of all that, my router died, so I couldn't even get on my brother's laptop! But I got a new router and so I'm back!

All from Torrid, bought the outfits like 2 years ago so I can't get a link. Sorry for weird face, the sun was in my face when I looked up at the camera, hahaha.

For the summer at the beach:

It's not available at Torrid anymore, at least not that I know of, but you can look at their whole swimwear department on their website. Just click one of the links below. :)

Regular outfit:

These are similar to the shorts I was wearing in the picture, click this. The shirt isn't available anymore, but here is a plaid I like :). And the undershirt isn't available anymore either, it's such bs!

Sorry for the boring post, it's getting late and I'm tired. I will post something better tomorrow, promise. I miss you all.

Faith 21's Birthday!

2010-05-26T15:43:00.002-04:00

I know that I'm kind of late on this, but I saw that recently, it was Faith 21's birthday. It had been a year since they started their line and I'm not gonna lie, I love the stuff on their site. I am ANTICIPATING the moment until they open up Faith in one of the malls nearby my house. They opened one up in Nassau county, but that's way too far to make my mom drive out so I can get clothes.

But I'm waiting, ughhh. I love Faith so much, you don't even understand. The clothing there has just gotten better and better, I see myself adding basically everything on the page to my wish list, then frowning at the sight of how many items are in my wish list and how my paycheck will probably only cover 2 out of the everything I want ;).

Regardless, Happy Belated Birthday, Faith. I love you, keep the work coming. AND ADD A 4X.

Miss you all, waiting for my mom to fix my computer, ugh.

Update :)

2010-05-16T22:05:00.002-04:00

So my dreaded week has officially ENDED. I got all my AP's out of the way, I finished my competition for music, and the Junior Prom has gone by. It's all done, YES!!!

You don't understand how thrilled I am right now, can't even explain. Sorry for the lack of updating, I've been like crazy sick. Yes, SICK. I was dying during my AP's, so bad in fact that I had a garbage can next to me and a roll of paper towels so I can blow my nose during my economics test. Then I almost passed out on stage at competition on Friday. Oh, and for Junior Prom .. I had no voice. And on top of that, I have a chorus concert tomorrow.

My mom has made me bed ridden for now, hoping that I might be alive and able to do something tomorrow. Then, my first real day of work is tomorrow, I hope it goes well. I need my voice, how am I supposed to take your order without a voice? I can see it now, me straining my voice, trying to get the words "Welcome to McDonald's, can I take your order?" out of my mouth and their response, "WHAT?" because I am still not audible. But I am working 19 hours this week, so I will be getting around $140+ bucks after this week, not adding the 2 hours of training from last week ;)

But yeah, not the best week I've had. Junior Prom was horrible, I was sick the whole time, couldn't talk, but I looked HOT. I am going to show pictures later, I gotta keep my readers coming back for more! But here's a hint, although I felt like shit .. I didn't look like it. And no one knew I was sick until I opened my mouth and nothing came out.

And between me and you, I looked better than my friends, all of who are like size 2's and 4's. SO WIN FOR THE PLUS SIZED GIRL :)

Shoe Problem - Jr. Prom Style

2010-05-09T13:49:00.003-04:00

So, you all know that I always get screwed over in some way. Dress shopping, jeans ripping, etc. Just weird stuff, ahaha.

So over the course of the week, I have been looking for the shoes I showed you in the previous post. So my mom and I went to Marshall's, TJ Maxx, etc. But in the end, none of the shoes had them, either in the wrong color, the wrong size. And I didn't feel like paying the difference of the shoes at Macy's.

So we went to Famous Footwear and they didn't have my shoes. But they had this Fergie pair, which I fell in love with. I actually like it a lot more than the Paris Hilton ones because it's like sexy. My dress is black, so I realized I wanted something a little more stand-outish. There was this other pair, that were similar to the PH ones, but with a ruffle on it. They were so adorable, but when I tried them on, they looked too elegant, like and I realized that's how the others would look.

Here they are, you can find them here. I got them for the same price as the Paris Hilton ones, $40. They are really good, but the only problem is that the person who tried the shoes on, broke it in a little bit the wrong way and it annoys me, a lot. But I'll get over it once I dance and stuff ;).

But yeah, that's all for now. Hope you like them!

So my internet is down..

2010-05-06T20:15:00.004-04:00

This sucks. A lot.
My brother claims I kicked the cord off of my computer .. but that's why his wireless laptop can get a signal, but my computer can't. Makes no sense.

Anywho, I am at the library studying for my AP test tomorrow; I'm taking a break, don't worry. ;) But so yeah, I've actually been taking pictures of outfits and really have wanted to update. I am trying to get it fixed as soon as possible. There are so many important dates coming up right now, Junior Prom is next Friday!

But that's all for now, I'm pretty busy until about May 21st, aahahha. I need my life back again, seriously. But I haven't forgotten about you guys, promise. I have so many things to show you, like legit. Miss you guys <3

Wish me luck on my tests, love you guys. :)))

OH AND CHECK OUT MY AWARD I GOT, THANK YOU FATSHION FORWARD.

Jeans are not my friends, I guess

So, I made a post a couple months ago about how my Torrid pants completely ripped, like completely. Hahaha. Guess what happened today?

I was sitting at the vet's office with my puppy and I went to get up and a nail was sticking out from the chair and now my butt has a hole in it, ahahha. It's minimal, but it still annoys me. And these were my favorite pair of jeans, they were from Rainbow, $20.

But I'm actually kind of happy, cause that means I need to go shopping because my other Rainbow pair of jeans are worn out cause they're not as strong as a normal pair, but for the price and the look, I'm thrilled. :)

But I got an email from Alloy, explaining how they have a HUGE sale on their clearance items. I want so many of them, I think I might ask my mom to check out the site, just cause I really like their clothes. I've never ordered from them, so my mom might complain. I WISH I HAD MONEY/CREDIT CARD.

That's all for today, bye <3

Shoe Breakthrough ;)

2010-04-27T20:26:00.002-04:00

So, I have step one complete in my Jr. Prom, I found the dress. Now, hair, makeup, shoes, mani/pedis; so much to do, not enough time! Luckily, I came through to a 'shoe breakthrough,' oh! I knew you guys would like my title, ahhaha.

Here is the shoe:

How cute?! Ahhhhh! But here's the problem, it's MAD expensive. At Macy's, it's $89, here's the Macy's site. But here's the win, I've seen this pair of shoes at both TJ Maxx and Marshalls, for the price of $50! But aren't these simply adorable? It's so simple, but the bow just adds so much. I NEED THEM.

I'm going to Marshalls tomorrow to try and get a pair or find a store with it in my size 'cause my mom said they only had a silver 11 there. Oh, btw there are a lot of different colors it comes in. But you guys should check out the Paris Hilton line, her shoes are really really cute, I wish I was rich enough to get all ;)

Outfit :)

2010-04-23T22:42:00.004-04:00

I didn't go out tonight, but I posted a group of photos from about two weeks ago. I went bowling with a couple of my friends and here are some pictures. I wore a really old Torrid top, I got it about 2 years ago. It sometimes pops up on clearance, in a light blue color. I would wear it and take a picture to show you it without my friends, but I went to the city and this guy grabbed onto my shirt and ripped it. SOME RANDOM GUY. So I don't know what I'm going to do, it was really cute. :/

And I understand it isn't thrown together all that well, I was just working quickly. I wanted to update today :) But I am gonna beg my mom to go shopping, like I seriously need shorts. I have one pair of shorts and ugh, they're short. I don't want like booty pants. Don't forget to comment!

Oh and I wore a black tank under it. :)

Just got my Prom dress today!

2010-04-22T22:39:00.002-04:00

..and Dream Diva told me it would take 10 work days to ship from Australia to New York! I ordered it on Sunday, it came on Thursday. I'm so happy, you don't even understand. I got home and automatically tried it on, it looks just like it in the picture, except even cuter!

The one warning I have is that the material that is tight around the chest, the sparkly section of it, it is STRETCHY. I was so nervous about ordering a 22, which is a 20 in US sizes. I was having trouble with dresses at the bridal store fitting in a 20, but I guess that was just cause the sizing can be off on some dresses.

But it fits very well, it isn't tight at all, nor is it that loose. It is a little loose, but I was wearing a shirt that like smooshed the twins, so they weren't as big as normal. :P But I'm very excited now, I really was nervous about the fit.

Now knowing the product and site, I would tell people to maybe order a size down, just because it is stretchy. So, might as well have it fit the right way than have it loose. :) Btw, if you forgot, this was my dress.

the never-ending search for jr. prom

2010-04-19T19:36:00.005-04:00

Now, I've been trying to get myself a dress for basically, ever. On Saturday, my mom and I went on a major search for a dress. I went to Estelle's, this place on Long Island which is completely humongus and have plus sized dresses and everything. Now, I tried on a couple of pretty cute ones and here's my first rule, DO NOT WEAR DRESSES THAT ARE TIGHT AROUND THE WAIST. I would have taken a picture to show you what a dress looks like tight around the stomach, but I couldn't even look at myself. It only accentuates your stomach even more and we chubz don't want that, do we?

Now, my Sweet 16 dress last year was my favorite dress ever. It was an eggplant purple that was tight around the chest, with a little cross over and it fell under. It was so pretty. I just found a picture. It has my mom in it, sorry. But so yeah, it covered my stomach well and looked terrific!

So, of course I wanted a dress similar to that for my prom, so I went on the hunt. And they had nothing similar. We then gave up for the day and found another store in Port Jeff, that didn't work out well, they had no short dresses in my size. You had to order it and my prom is in a month and it takes 6-8 weeks to deliver. We then went to David's Bridal where I tried on a couple of dresses and found one similar to my Sweet 16, but I wasn't completely in love with it.

It was a light sky blue with the same kind of way, the tight chest and a dropped bottom, but on the chest, there was a little design. But I wasn't like thrilled with it, so I had a fit in the middle of the store and left. I really needed a dress though and my mom was getting annoyed with me, so I went onto Dream Diva, an australian line, just cause I liked one of the dresses.

This post is so long. But then I called my mom upstairs and we started having a little fun, photoshopping my face onto dresses on different sites and I basically fell in love with one of them. I actually posted it my junior prom dress post before. Hahahaha, it looks good with my hair, ahahahhaahah. But yeah, my date thought it was a "me" kind of dress.

My favorite part is that it has the sparkles on the chest, the satin falling part which is similar to my sweet 16. So I'm excited. :)

Update

2010-04-19T19:34:00.001-04:00

So, I know, haven't been signing on. But I had allstate last Friday and my life was consumed around that. It's over now though, so I might start updating more.
No, I WILL start updating more.

I haven't got new clothes though, so I can't really do many outfit posts, but I really need to go shopping, so I'll keep you in the know.

That's all for now, bye! :)
I got my jr prom dress though, so I'm going to write a post about it right now. :))))

I AM GOING SHOPPING TOMORROW!

2010-03-26T20:14:00.003-04:00

It's true. Yours truly is finally going shopping again, thank heavens. The only thing is that I have to go to like Zoomba or something with my mom, some workout class. No big deal, but yeah. As for lack of updates, I've been really sick and haven't been allowed on the computer. I'm sneaking on it right now cause I am stuck at home, sick. :(

But I am in desperate need for shorts, capris .. that sort of clothes. I want to go to Queens and look at the Faith 21 there, but it's like 45 minutes away for clothes and I know my mom won't drive me for that. But ahh, I want their clothes soo bad!

I have off this whole week though for Spring Break, so I will try and get out with friends - take pictures, all that jazz for your guys. So I am going to go shopping this week and look for a junior prom dress this week, lots of big stuff for you guys!

AND MAYBE I WILL GET A LITTLE TAN THIS WEEK. I'm as pale as a ghost, can't take it no more. But that's all for now, peaceeeee! Happy Friddayyy

Junyahh Prom!

2010-03-22T20:51:00.005-04:00

After searching for all those plus sized prom dreses, I decided that I should try and start to look for jr. prom .. WAH! I'm nervous, I wanna look grrreat, I can't let my readers down!

I quickly grabbed some dresses, and here they are:

My rules are the same with prom, just look hot! Get your hair did nice and put on that makeup, show people that we are fat, but freakinggg gawwwgeousss!

I'M BACK

2010-03-22T20:35:00.002-04:00

Okay, honestly. It's been too long. But, I'm back. And as for my whole 40 outfits, 40 days thing .. it failed, miserably. I've been working my butt off lately and I finally got my life back, but I wasn't able to take pictures every single day. So, I give up. However, I'm going to make more posts now! At least everyday, hopefully ;)

So, I am about to post one on junior prom, since it is really important and I need to start shopping for a dress! AHH!

quick update!

2010-02-23T21:20:00.002-05:00

Now, I know most of you probably think I'm giving up on my blog or whatever cause I haven't gotten comments in my last 5 posts .. :/. But no, I'll never give up on you guys! I just want to mention that there is a short hiatus at the moment because I have pit rehearsals everyday and rehearsals for ensembles after that, like I am legit getting home at 9/10 on nights during the week. It's really bad. Also, as AP tests near, I have to kick it up on my schoolwork.

I am taking pictures everyday still though, I just don't have enough time to review them! I miss you guys :( LOve youuu, misss youuu :( :( :(

I'll be back soon, PROMISE!

Numero cinqueee!

2010-02-21T14:18:00.002-05:00

So today, it was Sunday. Which means I am doing nothing, so I repeat outfits normally 'cause I just go to church and that's it .. no one really sees me. But because yesterday, I didn't post a picture, I decided to dress kind of nice today :).

Top: $38.00, Torrid
Undershirt: $14.97, White Bow-Front Cami (Torrid)
Jeans: $19.99, Rainbow
Lol at the bottom picture, I was giving a kiss to my ten followers, ahaha :)

Overall, the outfit is easy. It's quick to put together and is so adorable, when I first wore it, I got so many compliments from teachers to students and everyone in between. It is comfortable, has great colors in it, and the design is so cute. You can wear it with any color undershirt, I just only have a white and black one and was feeling white today .. so yeah. Jeans are amazing and the cami is simply adorable, I love the bow!

Day 4

2010-02-20T22:00:00.002-05:00

So today was about the most exciting day, ever!! I woke up, went to the gym. And that was it. As I am typing this at 10pm, I am still in the clothes that I was in 12 hours ago. I am not going to take a picture of my outfit, ahahaha.

However, it is a St. John's University shirt and Reebok shorts. My outfit goes into large sizes, so it's perfect for working out in! I got my t-shirt at St. John's, ahaha. My brother went there and just gave me his old shirt. As for the shorts, I got them at Marshall's for like ten bucks, not even kidding.

A good thing for workout clothes is that a lot of the major plus sized stores (for teens) offer the stuff we need. I don't really like pants for working out, however most of my friends are into the yoga pants lately. At Faith 21, you can get your own pair of yoga pants, in two colors, for just $13.80! Similarly at Faith, you can get a basic t-shirt for $4.50 and pair them with shorts or pants, still looking good :). Also, Torrid has a whole section of Activewear where you can get outfits to work out in, but a little better of a quality than Faith.

That's it for tonight, I'll try to dress up nice tomorrow. I need to go on a shopping spree soon, seriously. I miss clothes!

Day 3 :)

2010-02-19T23:16:00.002-05:00

So, today I spent most of my day in the house because I was upset to find out that I am probably not visiting my friend at BU this weekend and after the gym, I just watched Lifetime movies while doing my mom's hair.

When I picked up my phone off the washer machine, where I left it about 7 hours ago, I found my inbox flooded with texts about how my best friend is having a party and I should come. Now, I don't drink, I just bring some ice tea with me and sip on that while everyone else makes a fool of themselves. Being that my friend told me he was going to pick me up around 7:30 and it was 7, I quickly took a shower and threw on something last minute. Hair is a mess, but I fell asleep on the couch before I took this ahaha

Top: $38.00 (guess), Torrid
Bottoms: $19.99, Rainbow

I prob look disgusting wearing the same jeans as yesterday, but I bought two pairs cause they look so good :). True story! But yeah, 3 days down, only 37 more to go!

outfit number 2 :)

2010-02-18T22:50:00.002-05:00

I have a feeling my outfits are going to repeat constantly, especially since I love the shirt I'm wearing today. :)

Top: $24.99, Fashion To Figure
Bottom: $19.99, Rainbow

I love the outfit cause it's both a shirt and a cardigan in one, it's sooo adorable and fits so well :) :)
I look so chubby in it, only cause I just got back from applebee's, lol. Don't judge :)

Lent starts today!

2010-02-17T16:39:00.005-05:00

So, in the midst of that, I made a commitment to go to the gym everyday. This so isn't going to work.
I was thinking of an outfit post everyday, like 40 outfits, 40 days. But I don't really want to repeat outfits, that gets boring. BUT I DON'T CARE, I'M DOING IT.

Left: before I did my hair; Right: after I did my hair.
Top: $38.00, (I guess) Torrid
Bottoms: $19.99, Rainbow

I love the shirt, it's a two in one combo, I love the combination .. seriously. It's adorable and works with everything, whenever I wear it, I get so many compliments!

Cause I gotta have FAITH!

2010-02-16T11:35:00.006-05:00

At first, Forever 21's new line for plus sized teens, Faith 21, was horrific. Everything was just ugly, I was so excited 'cause I love Forever 21, but just couldn't fit into it. But Faith was just embarrassing; however, I continued to check, hoping for the better! And luckily, my long wait has finally paid off - I actually like some of the stuff available!

1. $17.80, Christine Cami
2. $24.80, Tubular Bib Knit Top
3. $32.80, Show Stopper Jacket
4. $15.80, Touch of Couture Tank
5. $19.80, Cuffed Denim Shorts
6. $19.80, Touch of Lace Cardigan
7. $15.80, Pleat Pocket Knit Skirt
8. $24.80, Gold Pocket Skinny Jeans
9. $19.80, Striped Button-Tab Cardigan
10. $24.80, Beaded Bib Top
11. $22.80, Demeter Floral Tunic
12. $19.80, Beaded V-neck Top
13. $17.80, Sailor Applique Striped Top
14. $19.80, Aztec Influence Tunic
Sorry about the smaller pictures for 13 and 14, I got pressed for space. :)

But seriously, how cute are some of the clothes? Everything is adorable and if you added up my wishlist (which is so much bigger on the site), you'd see how extremely cheap the store is. Bet it won't really last a lifetime, but you'll look cute for awhile ;). Seriously, Faith 21 has stepped it up.

Personally, my favorite has to be number 10, 7, or 3. I love the purple shirt (10), it reminds me of my favorite Torrid shirt, just not in black. Number 7, the skirt, so cuuteee, it makes me smile. And as many of you guys constantly hear, I've been dying for a blazer .. this is the closest to one on Faith right now :P.

My closing statement is just DON'T YOU LOVE HOW FAITH 21 OFFERS CLOTHES THAT LOOK GOOD THAT AREN'T BLACK?! :) :)

Outfit Post?

2010-02-15T11:19:00.007-05:00

As you guys may have know, I haven't posted an outfit in forever. I've been too busy reviewing stuff, whatever. This is long overdo, but I think you guys will get over it.

(I have no idea what my face is doing)

Top: $14.99, Rainbow
Jeans: $19.99, Rainbow

I know the outfit isn't the best, it's simple. It's so cute though, I got so many comments on it, the ruffles are adorable. My hair is blocking it (it was a mess by the time I got home), but I definitely think you guys should buy this, cheap and worth the money. As for the jeans, I've never had jeans fit so nicely, it feels like there's nothing even there! That's probably because there is like absolutely no material to it, but whatever. For 20 bucks, I'll take what I can get.

I definitely am a fan of Rainbow. They have a pretty wide selection in their store, it's not the best stuff ever, but it's better than what Torrid has been putting out lately and it's madly cheap. Love you, rainbow!

Jordin Sparks :)

2010-02-14T18:07:00.001-05:00

Did you know that right before she went on to American Idol, she won the Torrid Diva Search?! Well yeah, she did. How cool is that? She's lost some pounds since American Idol, but is still curvy and gorgeous! I saw a picture of her one day and just loved her look, so I decided to share it with you guys, also giving you pieces so you can copy her look.

1. $26.50, Buffalo Pintuck Tunic Top (Wet Seal)
2. $22.80, Skinny Edge Pants (Faith 21)
3. $52.00, Brown Faux Suede Daisy Western Boot (Torrid)
4. $20.00, Black Large Covered Buckle Stretch Belt (Torrid)

Although I'd prefer her boots in black (which Torrid does, btw), I still think she looks completely adorable! I honestly want this outfit so bad, so simple, but ahhh so good!

Added information to Sr. Prom dresses

2010-02-14T17:50:00.003-05:00

So, I went to Barnes & Nobles today and read up on some fashion magazines and I passed the Seventeen Prom one. It was FILLED with prom dresses (many with plus sizes), including all these fabulous websites and everything you need to know (hair, makeup, etc.)! I wish I brought some paper so I could write down every single site for you guys, but I didn't so yeah. But I highly recommend purchasing the magazine, it has Selena Gomez on the cover in a peach dress. It's mad thick too, you'll know what I'm talking about, ahahha. But yeah, good luck!

Btw, 11th graders: working on a jr. prom one as I type!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Senior Prom Brahzzz

2010-02-13T15:46:00.006-05:00

As many of you know, I'm only in 11th grade, so I haven't been to prom yet. This year, I'm going to junior prom; well hopefully, if I find a dress. But, many of my friends are going to prom and are talking about dresses already, so I think this is a good time to do this blog. Many plus sized girls are going to have trouble finding a dress for prom, trust me. So, I decided to try and make your search easier :)

Here's what I came up with:

1. $269.00, Simply Sublime - available in two colors sizes 12-44
2. $318.00, Nika Plum Evening Dresses - available in 3 colors, sizes 0 -30
3. $278.00, Celebrity Inspired Criss-Cross Gowns - available in 2 colors, sizes 12 -24
4. $278.00, Red Sexy Plus Size Prom Gowns - available in 1 color, sizes 12 -22
5. $85.99, Pleated Strapless Rhinestone Brooch - available in 11 colors, sizes 0-18
6. $318.00, Purple Evening Gowns by Nika - available in 3 colors, sizes 0-30
7. $189.00, Satin Halter Reptile Print Trumpet Dress - available in 1 color, sizes 2-18
8. $99.00, One-Shoulder Gown - available in 1 color, sizes 1-17

Note: I was wandering through the sites quickly, I tried to get something from every site quickly before I passed out. I'm sure if you check more for yourself, you will find many more dresses which look better. There's much more stuff out there than what I found :)

My one tip for prom is:
Don't wear those dresses with openings in the back or sides. I remember last year, I helped my best friend shop for dresses and there was a plus sized girl trying on a dress and because of the openings, you could see her rolls. The dress was gorgeous, it just wasn't for her. But honestly, I wouldn't be comfortable showing my rolls to everyone, lol.

Here are some places you can shop at for dresses, I only looked at 2 websites, I'm sure there's more stuff, you just got to check bbyz! (alphabetical order)

Don't forget, ladies, wear what YOU want to wear. This is your night to shine, you went through four stressful years at stupid high school and you deserve to look your best, no matter what! Remember, you're gorgeous and there will be a dress for you ... promise! Good luck! Hope this helped!

Macy's Junior Plus!

2010-02-11T20:00:00.002-05:00

So, Macy's. We've all heard of the store, even if you're not from the US. While doing my routine google search for plus size teen clothing, I passed by the Macy's site. When I saw Macy's, I thought of old clothing, unstylish, bland, and just 'meh' clothing. However, when I checked out the site, I was surprised. The clothes aren't half bad, some are actually cute. Also, most of the shirts are available in different colors, which helps some of us whose wardrobe includes just black. Here are some of the stuff I picked out, yeah.

1. $56.00, Angola Zebra Cuff Shirt
2. $38.00, Lace Embellished Flutter Sleeve
3. $48.30, Three-Quarter Sleeve Sequined Tunic
4. $28.80, Crocheted Neckline Banded Hem
5. $49.98, Black V-Neck
6. $36.00, Jazzy Short Sleeve Cowlneck with Embellished Design
7. $55.30, Three Quarter Sleeve Cutaway Blazer
8. $31.92, Crocheted Neckline Elbow Sleeve
9. $38.00, Short Sleeve Ruffle Front

While strolling to the dresses, I saw some cute sundresses and going out dresses, since I was pressed for time, I just grabbed a few to show you.

1. $79.00, Sleeveless Charmeuse with Belt
2. $48.30, Cap Sleeve Empire Waist Dot Skirt
3. $89.00, Sleeveless Embellished Empire Waist
4. $34.80, Colorblocked Stud Neckline Empire Waist

Note: I looked up these clothes about a week ago and I noticed that they have added more pieces. Also, if you're going to prom/jr. prom, they have a section available for more formal dresses here.

Although pricey, the clothes seem to be pretty good material and are actually somewhat cute. Kudos to Macy's!

Snow Day

2010-02-10T13:18:00.002-05:00

So today, I have a snow day ... probably so does like everyone else in the New York. But you know what that means ... PAJAMAZ ALL DAY. Lulz, so yeah. I don't have any outfit posts, I was supposed to go see Phantom of the Opera today in the city for a field trip, but it got rescheduled, so I don't have a cute outfit now (unless you think my jets jersey and mets pj pants are cute).

But I have a question, I want anyone's input on it! Now, my page for my site is mad boring, but I don't understand how to edit it to make it look really really good. Does anyone know anybody or are you good at decorating blogs cause mine is just ugh, not inviting. I want my blog to be SIZZLINGG HOT, not how it is right now. But if anyone can give me tips, I don't know, just save me, I'd do anythinggg!

Comment on this pleasee, please!

ASOS Curve

2010-02-08T21:54:00.002-05:00

So, on all of the other fatshion blogs, I've noticed all the gossip around ASOS's new line, Curve. And as you guessed, it's for curvy women. I've read so many reviews and they're all pretty positive, with the clothing being good material, fitting well, cute looks, and reasonable prices and shipping to the US.

With all these good reviews, I decided to follow the crowd and check out the site and there and behold, good clothes! I took my favorites and made a collage, somewhat, with the pictures so check it out.

1. $101.98, Longline Ponti Blazer
2. $59.49, Chiffon Babydoll Top
3. $110.48, Pleat Swing Mac
4. $37.39, Pleat Sleeve Stitch Detail T-Shirt
5. $59.49, Kimono Sleeve Lace Dress
6. $50.99, Indigo Knitted Jeggings
7. $47.59, Indigo Skinny Jean

The clothes are adorable, I've seen them features on YFF and they look absolutely adorable on her! I wish they would send me free clothes too, haha.

At the moment, my number one is the Blue Coat, it's just the cutest thing ever. In the picture above, it looks kind of boring, but if you go to YFF and see her wearing it, it's just ahhh! I want the Blazer seced, I have been dying for a blazed forever, I need it! I just wanna say look at the Jeans and the Jeggings, can you tell the difference?! They even have pockets and straps for your belt in the jeggings, how cool is that??

BTDUBZ: The sizes go up to UK26 which is about a US24. So yeah, be aware :).

hallelujah!!

2010-02-08T21:50:00.002-05:00

I GOT MY TWITTER BACK. PEOPLE WILL ACTUALLY VIEW WHAT I WRITE. YES!

I am going to start posting again, I know you're all happy to hear that .. LOL, :) :) :)

I AM SO HAPPY.

:(

2010-02-06T07:31:00.003-05:00

so, my twitter is down because I joined way too many people in a short period of time (lol). so as i wait for them to unsuspend (?) my account, I really don't want to update because no one checks my stuff right now.

no offense to my 6 followers, i know you are DESPERATELY waiting for my next post ... sarcasm.
But legit, I can't advertise my blog, twitter was my only idea. So until my twitter is up, I will be preparing posts, I just won't post them.

It's been a week without my twitter, I'm dying. (fashiondatfits) <- that's the name. :)

Until then, I'll miss you guys, I just wanna bloggggg and tweet!! :(

"Fiercely Real" Plus Size Competition!

2010-01-31T21:54:00.002-05:00

"I've been trying to expand the definition of beauty through my B.I.O. (that's Beauty Inside & Out) campaign. As part of the campaign I wanted to do a plus-sized model search – ya know, represent the REAL girls. I got to thinking and since I've gotten so many requests to do a Top Model for teens, I figured I'd put the two ideas together here on Tyra.com! This is the first ever Plus-Sized Teen Model Search! But “plus-sized” models sounds so old fashioned… so I’m changing the term “Plus-Sized” and making it "Fiercely Real"! I will pick the winner ON STAGE on The Tyra Show. Yep, I want to see all ya’ll full-figured teen girls who can rock that H2T pose, take a great picture and strut their booty down the runway! Let’s show all those magazines, TV shows, blogs, designers and CRITICS (lots of them around!) that REAL girls are fierce too." - Tyra Banks

I told my mom about this competition and she wants me to join, I'm not fierce! I can't smize (smile with my eyes)! But what the hell, I'll practice with you guys ...

FIERCE:

I first thought this was good, BUT IT WASN'T FIERCELY REAL SOO....

I think this works better ... what do you think?

SMIZING:

I had a little trouble with this one, my eye wouldn't stop twitching .. awkward ~0~

I'm definitely going to win.

I went shopping today!

2010-01-31T21:35:00.003-05:00

You know what that means ... new outfit posts this week! I bought 3 shirts and 2 pairs of jeans at Rainbow! I'll even tell you how much my total was, it was $95.52, isn't that amazing!?! Everything was from $14.99-$24.99. The fabric is probably not the best, but I actually have new clothes, I'm soo excited.

The best part is that the store is right down the block from my house, like 10 minutes away so WIN! So, I'll probably be shopping there a lot more. I just wanted to give you an update :)

Sorry for not posting anything but this today, I had a concert in the city to perform at so that took up basically most of my day. I'll update more this week, promiseeee <333 ;)

Junior Prom?

2010-01-30T22:14:00.003-05:00

I'm a junior this year and all my friends are starting to look at their Jr. Prom dresses. I've been thinking about not going cause seriously, I've been having trouble finding a dress. I haven't gone out and checked out dresses, but I looked online and honestly, it's making me not want to go even more now.

Jr. prom dresses consist of (at least at my school) dresses that you would wear to someone else's sweet sixteen, but a step up, a little more 'pzazz' though. People have mentioned stores such as Sydney's Closet and Pacific Plex. After looking at these two sites, they were really similar, with styles such as these:

They aren't technically "ugly" persay, just not my style. I mean, grant it, I don't wanna be wearing a skimpy dress where all you can see is my fat (lol), but I don't want to be covered up so much that I'm forgotten about. Also, my whole group of friends are gorgeous and skinny and I want to look just as good as them or better.

Basically, there are two problems with these dresses. They aren't flattering (in my opinion) and are overpriced. I am going to quote my mom what she says when I asked her to buy my sweet sixteen dress last year "I'm not going to pay all of my money on a dress you will wear once."

I'm searching for better sites, wish me luck on my journey or help meeee!

Wet Seal Plus Review

2010-01-30T13:22:00.008-05:00

Did you know that Wet Seal has a plus size line? NOW YOU DO. All of us are going crazy about how nice Faith 21 is (although I'm not that big of a fan), but more stores are on this plus size train than we thought! Wet Seal has been plus size since what seems like for a really long time and their clothes are pretty cute! Their sizes also go up to SIZE 28, 4X! Can you say kudos to Wet Seal?! Seriously, that's so good for them, I'm proud. Similar to Faith 21, everything is very cheap!

Jeans on Left: $34.50, Light Destroyed Skinny Jean
Jeans on Right: $29.50, Show Stopper Skinny Jean (available in 3 colors)
Leather Jacket on Top: $42.50, Faux Leather Ruffle Jacket (available in 2 colors)
Pea Coat on Bottom: $36.50, Houndstooth Coat (available in 3 designs)
Red Plaid on Top: $22.50, Boyfriend Plaid Top (available in 4 colors)
Blue Plaid on Bottom: $18.99, Tie Front Plaid Tunic

I mean, isn't that just adorable? And my wishlist, which adds up to about $350 worth of stuff has 20 items in it, I mean come on. For Torrid, I'd buy like 5 shirts and a pair of jeans for that price.

Torrid Spring Lookbook Review

2010-01-29T17:05:00.004-05:00

Do I really need to explain why I don't like this? Honestly I really can't. When I look at these pictures I'm simply ... speechless. In a bad way.

I don't really like this one either, I think the picture on the right is cute. Picture wise, but I wouldn't wear that outfit. I just wouldn't, :/.

I didn't really think the corset was necessary for this picture, the plaid is cute (I wouldn't buy it), but it's still ok.

I honestly and sincerely HATE this model. She makes the outfit look so bad. No offense to her, but seriously, the pictures are just unflattering.

"Shoes: Really?" - my mom. She looked at the collection with me just before and had the same reaction. I just don't get it, Torrid.

Same thing as the other five pictures, it's just not flattering. The only thing I want are the boots and they're not worth $62.

Here's the thing, Torrid. We are in/coming out of a recession. How do you expect us to spend all of our money on your clothes, especially when they are trashy? After my jean disaster, I NEVER want to look at your clothes again. I used to be such a fan, I checked the site religiously at least twice a day ... not even kidding. I am simply disappointed, either you lower your prices cause I wouldn't even take money from you guys to wear your clothes or you legit just start over. What happened to my favorite store ever? :(

Torrid dropped the ball on their Spring Lookbook 2010.

Same/New Outfit

2010-01-29T16:41:00.002-05:00

Now, you must have heard about the tragedy of January 28th, it was like D day or something for me, I can't even explain. I know I'm not the only one who repeats outfits the next day, now I only do this on two occasions: if the day before no one technically saw me or if no one is going to see me the next day who saw me the day before. Yesterday all I had was two rehearsals where only school people saw me. Today, I am going out with my mom for dinner then going to a show at her school where she teaches. Two different groups of people, two different days - 1 outfit.

Top/Cardigan: $26; (Fashion To Figure ) . The website hasn't launched yet, but hopefully there is a store nearest you. The outfits are cheap and are so much cuter than what Torrid has!
Skirt: 30; Source of Wisdom Grey Tattered Denim Miniskirt (Torrid). See how there is the rips on the bottom? I thought that was part of the look, but no. I just picked out a cruddy pair, MY LUCK.
Leggings: From HSN, however they are out of stock right now ... but you can go here to view other leggings they have.
Boots: Same fuggs as the past three days, I should wear my tan boots sometime soon.

I HAVE A FOLLOWER

2010-01-29T12:27:00.001-05:00

I'M FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW. WHOA. CAN'T HANDLE THIS.

Oooh, sequinzz.

2010-01-28T23:07:00.002-05:00

So today, I LOVED my outfit. And oh my god, it wasn't all Torrid for once! Now although today started out adorable (with my outfit), it ended as a DISASTER. Complete and utter disaster, like I'm still in shock.

Top/Cardigan: $26; (Fashion To Figure) . The website hasn't launched yet, but hopefully there is a store nearest you. The outfits are cheap and are so much cuter than what Torrid has!
Jeans: $52; See Thru Soul Grey Marilyn Skinny Jean Regular (Torrid). Those aren't the exact pants, I got them last Christmas, but they are very similar.
Boots: Same fuggs as the past two days, I WANT COWGIRL BOOTS.

NOW, HERE IS WHERE SH*T WENT DOWN TODAY.
So, blah blah blah my day goes by. Since I only went to school for 2 hours for pit and went to rehearsal, I was going to wear this outfit tomorrow at this thing at my mom's school cause I liked my outfit and only wore it a little bit. Now, my jeans have been tearing a little and I sewed them back together, no big deal. BUT THEN, I GO TO REHEARSAL at 7 and I look at my pants and THERE AND BEHOLD ... A HUMONGOUS RIP IN MY JEANS. "No, not my jeans ... WAH!" I honestly love those jeans and I never get jeans, I'd rather get shirts, I love them so much more. But so I only have that pair and the ones I wore yesterday which are baggy and ugly. So I went through a 2 and a half hour rehearsal with ripped pants looking like THIS:

Right: Detail on the Shirt/Cardigan. Left: CUT

Now seriously, how bad is that? I'm dying. So tomorrow when I wear the shirt again, I'm probably just going to wear leggings, fail.

Note: I made a twitter to try and reach out to more people, follow me on "fashiondatfits" ... SOMEONE TOOK FASHIONTHATFITS and they don't even use it! Btw, this is way too long of a blog.

Cowgirl

2010-01-27T21:36:00.002-05:00

Whenever I'm not in the mood to do anything, I normally just jump into a plaid shirt and slide on a pair of jeans and run out the door. Today I had a APUS Midterm (and failed miserably), so it was a slow day, boring outfit. Sorry for the blurriness and the hair, I took it after I got home at like 9pm, so I'm kind of a mess by then.

Top: $38; Red White and Black Flannel Cinched Sleeve Shirt (Torrid)
Undershirt: $20; Black Glitter Seamless Cami (Torrid)
Jeans: $19.99; (Kohl's) They are way too baggy, I got a size 20W thinking that 'W' meant plus size (which it does), but it's like plus plus.
Boots: $40; Costco. Same shoes as yesterday, unable to be seen though.

First Outfit for Blog

2010-01-27T21:23:00.003-05:00

So in lieu of my new blog, I decided to wear something cute (or so I thought so). I understand that the lighting is extremely off, the flash wouldn't go off and I had to jet so just deal as I go, it'll get better.

Top: $38; Torrid, it's no longer on the website, but in a little bit, it'll probably go on clearance. I'll try and find it once it goes up.
Undershirt: $20; White Bow - Front Cami (Torrid), it's on clearance.
Skirt: $30; Rinse Wash Denim Miniskirt (Torrid), on clearance as well.
Leggings: From HSN, however they are out of stock right now ... but you can go here to view other leggings they have.
Boots: $40; Fake Ugg boots from Costco.
