Plus Size OOTD - Cool, Calm, and Collected




Cute, Comfy, & Chic...and absolutely inexpensive!



I'm Wearing:

-White Collared Tunic Top with Center Button Closure

-Olive/Tanned Cardigan w 3/4 of a cuffed sleeves

-Brown Leggings

-Black Knee High Boots

-Olive & Creme Colored Scarf

Today's outfit is one of my favorites in a while. It's very laid back, comfortable and casual all while being trendy and chic.  I purchased the white collared top at a local store called Choice Plus (no website). I purchased the Olive toned cardigan at Ross which came with the belt that I have over the white top underneath. I paired the top up with some brown leggings I purchased at Wal*Mart for about 6 dollars and finally paired my outfit with some knee high boots which I also purchased at Ross.

I love the cardigan because it has a really  nice drape. It takes care of all my problem areas and adds figure to my body with the drape and flow of the cardigan. The boots are extremely comfortable, making it easy to walk in all day with not a bother in the world and if it rains you're safe from getting your feet wet :).

I only had the chance to take a few pictures during my lunch break, but since I have to stick around till 5:30 for a Mixer my friend invited me to, I'll take some pictures when I get off work. Then off I go to the Library to meet with my buddy to study and work on some homework assignment that's due tomorrow.

I'll update you all later :)

A walk through the Vinyards

This morning I woke up on the good side of bed! I feel great!! I just feel in such an amazing mood it's ridiculous. I took a walk through the vinyard and decided I wanted to take some pictures. I didn't have my camera on me so I took these with my phone and I have to say I'm pretty satisfied with the quality. I'll defintely be taking some more pictures this evening with my canon and maybe even do an OOTD video out in the wilderness as my girl Lisa likes to say lol.

Anyway, I wanted to see how posting from my phone would work and I guess so far so good! This is pretty awesome. I love my smart phone, it's my little hand held computer :).

I'll be back later and post some more, I think what I'll do now is catch up on some blog entries. I'll update this later with my outfit of the day. here are some more pictures I took. As you can see I was on a roll, but I really wanted to capture a lot of the Fall essence in my pictures. I then did some editing with photoshop express on iPhone and only changed the resolution, contrast, brightness and sharpness. Other than that, everything else is untouched :) I mean, theres only so much you can do on a phone lol.

My Biggest Impact

This woman is my biggest impact. I am this woman. Literally. I'm her blood, bone and entity. I am her baby. This woman has raised me, has been my friend, my enemy, and my mother all in one. She is beautiful, strong, and an amazing women. A strong successful woman. Many people measure success in different terms. She may not have a degree in college, or have an amazing job, but none the less, raising 5 kids all on her own, is pretty fucking successful to me.  She taught me what being a strong, independent woman should be like. She raised us all on her own, without a man. It's possible, and she's given me a lifelong example that I can never forget. I've become a mold of who she is, was, and will become. She has been the biggest impact on my life from the moment I left her womb and I couldn't be more proud to say she's my mother and I am who I am because of this woman.

A strong, beautiful and independent woman. A successful woman. 

Favorite Super Hero & Why

Day 6

I need to put some more thought into this.

I dont remember much of my childhood. I was raised very very poor and I am not ashamed one bit. It's taught me how to be humble and appreciative of everything I have today. Growing up I didn't watch tv much. My mom couldn't afford the luxury amenities like cable. We always had antenna. I remember when we first got cable I was like 14 years old. I thought it was the best thing ever. But even then, I was never really allowed to watch anything I wanted. I always watched what the grown ups were watching. In my case, telenovelas.  So that is why it's so hard for me to even think of superheros, because I don't have any favorites or even remember. 

If I can say I have a superhero it would have to be my mother. Shes always been my Super Hero and will continue to be for as long as I live. She's always saved me from everything and everyone, even myself and that is why she is my favorite super hero.
